For 2025, Halloween Time will start on August 22nd and run through October 31st. Mickey and Minnie will get new outfits for the occasion, as usual. This time they will be a twist on the 70th costumes! Haunted Mansion Holiday is returning, along with Halloween Screams. Over in Disney California Adventure, Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween, Mater's Junkyard JamBOOree, and Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark are returning. Mickey's Trick and Treat is coming to the Disney Theater for the fall, replacing Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! Of course food and merchandise will be along as well. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/2025-halloween-at-disneyland-oogie-boogie-bash-dates-and-more/ With Halloween Time and Disneyland's 70th happening at the same time, you might wonder what is staying from the 70th during the spooky season. Paint the Night, World of Color – Happiness, and Tapestry of Happiness will continue to run throughout the season. Disney says “areas and attractions around the resort will retain special touches, including decorative accents and the colorful castle photo opportunity in the esplanade.” – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/2025-halloween-at-disneyland-oogie-boogie-bash-dates-and-more/ This Saturday, a few authors of Disneyland books will be at Wonderground for a book release and signing. Don Hahn and Christopher Merrit will be on hand to sign The Happiest Place on Earth: The Incredible Story of Walt Disney's Disneyland, Martha Blanding and Tim O'Day for Groundbreaking Magic: A Black Woman's Journey Through the Happiest Place on Earth, Matthew Reinhart for Disneyland Park (a Pop-Up Park Tour), and finally Bob Weis with Dream Chasing: My Four Decades of Success and Failure with Walt Disney Imagineering. The event is from 10am-11:30am. – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ A couple of construction items that we have been following at the resort have some updates. Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room has a reopening date of July 3rd! Pixie Hollow has been behind construction walls for a while now, and looks to be returning on June 29th. – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ When we were in the parks a few weeks ago, we noticed new lamp posts in front of Main Street Station, by the Mickey floral. Walls are back up in this area to install more of these lamp posts. The new lights look like gas lamps, but use regular bulbs with a mesh over them to give a vintage look. – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ We talked about the neat Magic Band touch points around Disneyland in a previous episode, but there was still one location that had not come online yet. The last point in Tomorrowland, themed to Autopia is finally online. This one is a bit of a letdown as this one only makes car noises when activated. – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ An update that came to Epcot at Walt Disney World has made its way to DCA! Soarin' Around the World has been updated to fix the skewed Eiffel Tower in the attraction. – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ Over on Pixar Pier, the new Rex meet-and-greet is available. Rex is out and looks as adorably scary (if you can say that about Rex). – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ SnackChat: Trip Food (Savory Eats Treats) Discussion Topic: Spring 2025 Disneyana Event The Happiest Place on Earth- Chris Merritt and Don Hahn – https://www.laughingplace.com/w/disney-parks/d23-live-stream-happiest-place-on-earth/

MONSTER PARTY SALUTES THE LIFE AND CAREER OF A CREATIVE VISIONARY! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD celebrate the legendary artist who designed many of the most iconic attractions at Disneyland Theme Parks. But as you'll soon learn, his work and legacy far surpass the gates of The Magic Kingdom. MONSTER PARTY is proud to present… BOB GURR: TO DISNEYLAND AND BEYOND!!! While pursuing a career in car design, Bob got the call from Disney to create ride cars and animatronics for Disneyland. The Autopia cars! The Matterhorn bobsleds! The Haunted Mansion Doom Buggy! The original Disneyland monorail! The internal mechanisms of Abraham Lincoln for Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln! All designed by Bob Gurr! After a long career as an "Imagineer," Bob left Disney to start his own company and bring us the original (and best!) King Kong Encounter for Universal Studios and the sinking pirate ship at Treasure Island Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas! In this enlightening and inspirational episode, Bob Gurr sheds light on his early life, artistic style, work ethic, philosophy, and remarkable thirst for knowledge. We also get a slew of surprising anecdotes, including a monorail encounter with the past Vice-President of the United States… RICHARD NIXON! Whatever happened to that guy? For this very special "podfrontation," we are happy to welcome two incredible guests! The first is an award-winning producer, director, and writer, who has brought us such films as MEN IN SUITS, LOVECRAFT: FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN, and the upcoming BOB GURR: LIVING BY DESIGN. Let's hear it for friend of the show... FRANK WOODWARD!  Our second guest is the author of such sought-after books as HOW TO DRAW THE CARS OF TOMORROW, DESIGN: JUST FOR FUN, and BOB GURR: LEGENDARY IMAGINEER: LIFE AND TIMES-DISNEY AND BEYOND, and he's currently the host of the YouTube series, THE BOB GURR SHOW! Please welcome... You guessed it... BOB GURR! THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON THE INTERNET IS... MONSTER PARTY!

The shift toward electric has touched nearly every corner of the automotive industry and now it's extended its reach into Disneyland.The amusement park earlier this month confirmed with the Los Angeles Times that the gas-powered vehicles of the Autopia ride within the Tomorrowland attraction will be swapped out for electric vehicles. Disneyland spokesperson Jessica Good said that means fully electric, not hybrid, engines will be up and running on the Autopia track within the next two to three years. The exact timeline isn't clear, as is what the change will mean for park infrastructure and maintenance, but it's definitely happening.Download and listen to the audio version below and click here to subscribe to the Today in Manufacturing podcast.

Erica doesn't just leave us hanging with her opinions; she shares invaluable tips on planning the ultimate Disney vacation—for those who want their visit to either park to be nothing short of enchanting.As our journey comes to a close, we don't just stick to the headliners; we explore the quaint differences of Autopia and Tomorrowland Speedway, and debate the more subtle charms of each park's "It's a Small World." Our trip is peppered with personal stories, a hint of passion for the nostalgia of Disney's railroad, and a unanimous love for the immersive experience of Soarin' Over California. So, grab your Mickey ears, and let's find out together which Disney park will claim the throne in our hearts.Please Check Out Our Links Below: Our Sponsor:www.mainstreettravelco.com Email Us:circleofparks@gmail.com Our Website:www.circleofparks.com Facebook:www.facebook.com/circleofparks Instagram:www.instagram.com/circleofparks X:www.x.com/circleofparks Products we use: Our equipmentMicrophones: https://amzn.to/3T61oD5 Recorder: https://amzn.to/3Ibl4iuBluetooth Adapter: https://amzn.to/4a2MIufMicrophone Stand: https://amzn.to/3wrOrdSGoPro: https://amzn.to/3uT6RUlCable Organization: https://amzn.to/49oQAFUhttps://amzn.to/4bKe7CJhttps://amzn.to/3T5T1HEHeadphones: https://amzn.to/42S5FgG   Our Favorite Disney Books:Buying Disney's World: https://amzn.to/3T6z57AThe Disney Story: https://amzn.to/3T8j0hHThe Wonders of Walt Disney World: https://amzn.to/3wrLVErMeet the Disney Brothers: https://amzn.to/42RqxodPresenting Disneyland: https://amzn.to/3uIUqdISupport the show

This week, Jake and Josh round up the onslaught of Disney news that has been dropping in the last week. Avatar, Autopia, Beyond Thunder Mountain, and so much more! Let's do this!!   FIND US AT OTHER PLACES! What the Heck is Jake Talking About?  Mickey Mutineers Subreddit  Jordan Ghastly's Channel    MERCHANDISE!! TeePublic 

Don't panic! It's only dark because of that giant celestial object in the sky has moved in front of our main source of energy and life for the whole planet. But it's only going to last for a few minutes. Enjoy Stuff looks at some legendary eclipses and other things that cover.   Need a joke? Maybe some multiverse podcast ideas? Or how about just a few laughs? Come be fools with us as we celebrate the silliest holiday of all.    News Disneyland is making a tremendous change to Autopia  A trailer has now been released for Unfrosted, the Pop-Tarts story Christopher Nolan to be the next Dark Knight…well, just a regular knight…  Now you can eat food right out of the mouth of Jabba the Hutt at Disneyland  RIP Louis Gossett Jr.   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Jay's way IS the highway as he indulged in the rippling abs of Jake Gyllenhaal in Roadhouse. This is, of course, a remake of the 1989 Patrick Swayze classic. The modern day version has been updated, and is a bit more realistically violent, but also entertaining and action packed. Check out Roadhouse on Prime Video. Shua jumped hip-deep into the Kaiju footprint and experienced the latest Monsterverse movie where he discovered that Godzilla x Kong = Two Tons of Fun!   Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay rediscovered another time travel movie with The Butterfly Effect. (2004) Ashton Kutcher plays Evan who has the ability to travel back to important times in his life and change things that happened. But he is surprised to learn how much even a little difference can change. Check it out on Retrozap.com. Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to  SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.     Enjoy Eclipses!  April 8, 2024 will mark the date of a total eclipse of the sun in the United States. Eclipses are fairly rare, but nothing really fantastical or magical about them, just scientific. But that doesn't mean you can't use it as a cool motivator in movies. We look back at movies where an eclipse played an important role.    The moon will be covering the sun today, but after it's over you'll be able to enjoy other covers. Musicians often cover other artists' songs. And sometimes their version ends up being more popular than the original. We look at a few legendary ones.    But what could be more legendary than the best cover artist of them all; Weird Al Yankovic? Not all of Al's songs are covers, but the parodies that are are excellent. Some are even better than the one they are parodying.    Are you in the path of totality? What are you covering today? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Never gonna give you up” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com

Josh Gad donned a train conductor costume and treated guests to a grand circle tour on the E.P. Ripley, the locomotive that Walt Disney himself rolled in on for Disneyland's grand opening. Josh's commentary was highly entertaining, as expected from the Olaf and LeFou actor. – A MAJOR Disney Celebrity Made SURPRISE APPEARANCES At 2 (!!!) Disney Parks! | the disney food blog Later this month, Pixar Fest will be coming to the resort and there is a lot of merchandise to choose from. From shirts, to Mickey and Minnie ears, and everything in-between, there is something for everyone. The merchandise is broken up into collections, featuring the Pixar Painted Collection, Pizza Planet Collection, Toy Story Collection, Wilderness Explorer Collection, and more! – https://www.micechat.com/383211-disneyland-pixar-fest-merchandise-2024/ The D23 ticket experience was something else this year. All of the tickets sold out pretty quick. The communication from D23 was not the best in terms of what was for sale and what was sold out between the D23 Gold Member presale, Visa Cardholder presale, and the General ticket sale days. D23 had stated that a limited number of tickets would be sold in the first two presale days, but when general sales opened, many tickets were already sold out. – https://www.micechat.com/383350-disneyland-update-rainy-days-reveals-and-reinventions/ Since the latest round of Magic Keys have gone on sale, they haven't sold out.

The Will Gay collection will offer pre-sales starting April 3 at the Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney. Limited quantities will be held for pre-sales. The collection includes an Ewok hoodie, bucket hat, and a Darth Vader sling bag. – Disneyland Magic Key Holder Pre-Sale Announced for New Star Wars Artist Series Merchandise by Will Gay – WDW News Today (wdwnt.com) We have an update on the new Disney community being built in the Coachella Valley in California. Cotino – A Storyliving by Disney Community posted an update to the Disney Parks Blog showing the entrance to the community, the beginning of Longtable Park, one of the parks in the community, and progress of the model homes. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2024/03/behind-the-magic-of-cotino-the-first-storyliving-by-disney-community/ Even though Tiana's Palace has been open for months now, new additions can still pop up. Louis the Alligator has a new statuette near the entrance of the location. It is nice to see Disney adding things to a seemingly complete experience. – https://www.micechat.com/383350-disneyland-update-rainy-days-reveals-and-reinventions/ Season of the Force starts this week and there are some new activities to take part in.

The Walt Disney Company held its annual meeting of Shareholders. This event was seminal in that it concluded a feud between outside investors and Disney. It allowed Bob Iger to emphasize a message of 'Renewed Strength'. But there is more to learn from all of the tea leaves of this presentation. We'll discuss not just some of the many facets of where Disney is and what it intends to do moving forward, but focus largely on parks and experiences--to include new insights on the Padora/Avatar attraction coming to Disneyland Resort., and its possible tie to an announcement about the Autopia this week. We'll also look at Bob Iger's own response to Universal's Epic Universe being built just down the way, and how Disney has been "strategically" anticipating this addition for over ten years. So join us as we look at the results and insights of Disney's 2024 Annual Shareholder's Meeting. __________________________________________________________ My new book, A Century of Powerful Disney Insights is available!

Imagineer Bob Gurr has always been a man on the move. And for nearly 40 years, he's helped move many a happy Disney theme park guests aboard vehicles and ride conveyances of his own design. As he has often quipped, “If it moves on wheels at Disneyland, I probably designed it.” He developed more than 100 designs for Disneyland from Autopia to the Matterhorn Bobsleds. Bob's authored books, raced cars, flown airplanes, and had a hand in a multitude of automotive designs including cars, trains, trams, monorail trains, the list goes on and on and on. In 1999, Bob was honored with the Themed Entertainment Association's Lifetime Achievement Award (THEA). The Walt Disney Company honored him in 2004 as a Disney Legend, again honored in 2008 with a Disneyland Window on Main Street.

The biggest issue is just all the guests who want to be in the new land and experience all of the changes. It is still a rather small area, so even a modest amount of guests can make the area feel overcrowded. Stroller parking is also an issue, with cast members constantly trying to rearrange them to provide more space. In CenTOONial Park, there is also a lot of wear an tear on the new structures. - https://www.micechat.com/351579-disneyland-news-avengers-campus-construction-splash-mountain-retheme-toontown/ Magic Keyholders can pick up a great piece of artwork celebrating the reopening of Toontown.

When MiceChat spoke with park executives at the openeing of ToonTown, they said more was on the way, but there were still some delays due to supply chain issues. - https://www.micechat.com/351579-disneyland-news-avengers-campus-construction-splash-mountain-retheme-toontown/ With all of the promotions for Star Wars and the month of Star Wars in May, Hyperspace Mountain is returning.

In the 145th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave bring in a familiar name and returning guest Kyla Melberg, aka #kylaKylaKYLA as she's known in the podcast. Together, the three open up with Disney mugs and Disney shirts and Disney Funko Pops (and d$'s obsession with collecting sets now), before turning to the brief news -- including doom for the Simpsons area at Universal and a possible new princess meet n greet in MK. Then, a quick look at an upcoming auction where Disney transport - Autopia cars, monorails, Skybuckets - and more are being sold. Finally, a rundown of the Princess 1/2 Marathon weekend from a few weeks ago. Jenn shares her comparison from previous runDisney events to this one, while #kylaKylaKYLA and d$ give their rookie experience. Kyla shares about Sunrise Yoga, which is the new trend at the parks, while all talk about the Expo, getting to the event itself, running the race, and all the fun details -- plus what to expect when you sign up.

Each level of Magic Key will see a price increase from as little as $50, to as much as $200 for the high end key. The Dream Key, which was the top end key when the program started and had no blockout dates has been retired and replaced with a Inspire key, priced at $1599. New perks added to the high level keys include parking discounts, free PhotoPass, and Genie+ discounts. – https://www.micechat.com/330375-disneyland-magic-keys-everything-you-need-to-know/ and https://disneyland.disney.go.com/passes/blockout-dates/ Last week, Disney had their quarterly earnings call and reported some great news for the theme park division. Disney Parks, Experiences and Products reported quarterly revenue of $7.4 billion, up from $4.3 billion a year earlier. Last year, Disney Cruise Line was still shut down and the parks were still recovering, but this is still great news. However, there was one comment that made Disneyland fans upset. They stated that Genie+ and Lightning Lane increased the per capita ticket revenue, “partially offset by an unfavorable attendance mix at Disneyland Resort.” This led to Magic Key holders getting upset online about being unfavorables. – https://www.micechat.com/329833-disneyland-update-the-unfavorables-halloween-screams-toontown-secrets/ MagicBand+ hasn't come to Disneyland just yet, but there is already a new interactive game under construction that uses the technology. Batuu Bounty Hunters has already launched in Walt Disney World's version of Batuu, and will launch at Disneyland when the MagicBand+ system launches by the end of the year. The game will require the Play Disney Parks app and a MagicBand+. The MagicBand+ will change colors depending on if you are heading in the right direction and change to purple when the bounty is found. WDWNewToday had a great writeup about the game, which we have linked in the show notes. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2022/08/star-wars-batuu-bounty-hunters-game-station-is-under-construction-in-disneyland/ and https://wdwnt.com/2022/07/batuu-bounty-hunters-galaxys-edge-magicband/ Weeklyteers who want to know what is going on with ToonTown, we have an update for you. MiceChat has posted some new aerial photos of the work going on back there. Goofy's house has been repainted, the area where the new CarTOONial park will be has been cleared, along with all of the paving in the land. Mickey and Minnie's houses are surrounded by scaffholding and are being repainted, as is the ToonTown mountainside above the neighborhood. – https://www.micechat.com/329376-disneyland-update-part-2-flying-high-over-toontown-construction-sweet-treats/ There was a traffic accident this past week, but it wasn't on any of the loal Anaheim roads, but on the Autopia! Images posted on Instagram show two Autopia vehicles had somehow been driven on top of one of the concrete barriers. This would have been extremely difficult to do by accident as the cars are limited to 5mph. The two vehicles appeared to have been pushed up onto the concrete by colliding into one another. Cast members were unsure how this happened when they came across the scene. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2022/08/autopia-accident-leaves-ride-vehicles-derailed-and-damaged-at-disneyland/ Some new menu items are coming to a popular eatery in Galaxy's Edge. Docking Bay 7 will have the new menu items starting the day this episode goes live. The items include a new Cold Brew with Taro Topper, which is a nitro cold brew topped with sweet Taro cream. The other item is the Gungan Broth Noodles, which has Roasted Pork, Angel Hair Pasta, Bok Choy, Mushrooms, Yuzu-Tomato Compote, and a Pesto-Tonkatsu Broth. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2022/08/15/new-menu-additions-coming-soon-to-docking-bay-7-in-disneyland/ We reported a couple weeks ago about a couple of new hand pies at the resort. Now, it seems that they are all over the place and with almost as many varieties as churros, if that is even possible! Guests can get a strawberry hand pie at Candy Palace, Lemon at the Honey Spot, Blueberry at Trolley Treats, Raspberry at Bing Bongs, and Guava at Marceline's in Downtown Disney. Reports online have been extremely favorable to the new line of treats, especially the pastry part. – https://www.micechat.com/329376-disneyland-update-part-2-flying-high-over-toontown-construction-sweet-treats/ Guests have been unhappy with the paper straws in the parks for some time now. Now, there is a new eco-friendly option availalbe at teh Candy Palace on Main Street. The new straw option is an edible straw which comes in three flavors; strawberry, lemon, and lime. Each straw costs $1, and the DIsney Food Blog reports that they don't get mushy like the paper straws. For Weeklyteers who would like to try these at home, Amazon.com also sells the same brand online. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2022/08/09/yes-we-paid-to-eat-our-straw-at-disneyland/ A shop in New Orleans Square is getting a new mix of products from a different vendor.

The Redwood Creek Challenge Trail is currently closed to guests as it transforms into Villains Grove for the Oogie Boogie Bash parties. Main Street and Buena Vista Street window displays are changing over as well.  – https://www.micechat.com/328951-disneyland-update-magic-keys-please-early-morning-magic-halloween-begins/ and https://www.micechat.com/329833-disneyland-update-the-unfavorables-halloween-screams-toontown-secrets/ Weeklyteers who like to participate in the scavenger hunts should get excited! Pluto's Pumpkin Persuit is coming back this year. Like in previous years, guests can purchase a game board to start hunting for the deorated pumpkins scattered around Downtown Disney. Once all the pupkins have been found, the completed game board can be turned in for a special surpise. Last year it was a choice of plastic sipper. – https://www.micechat.com/329833-disneyland-update-the-unfavorables-halloween-screams-toontown-secrets/ Detail oriented guests may have noticed some changes to some grass areas of Main Street recently. Some of the sections have been replaced by artificial terf. Based on the lack of rainfall in California, this might be a good replacement for the greenery. The new terf is almost indistinguishable from real grass and will require less upkeep. – https://www.micechat.com/329833-disneyland-update-the-unfavorables-halloween-screams-toontown-secrets/ Fans of the “I Am Groot” series on Disney+ can now get a new magic shot with their favorite baby Groot charater.
