One of the reasons that this didn't come to be was governmental regulations on use of drones in nighttime spectaculars. Regulations have decreased since then, which has resulted in drone shows at Disney Springs in Walt Disney World. Maybe drones will be in Disneyland's future as well. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2024/09/25/confirmed-disney-almost-used-drones-in-world-of-color/ The fountains at World of Color have been getting some TLC to keep the show in tip-top shape.

What does VIP mean to you? It means Very Interesting Podcast as far as we are concerned. We had some incredible opportunities over the last few months. Dan, Erik, and Jimmy enjoyed the Disneyland Railroad Guided Tour last week. Within the past few months, Dan and Erik have both taken the Walt's Main Street Story guided tour and Erik alone (with nine other people) spent a whole day with a VIP tour guide. We delve into these experiences in our latest episode. We hope you enjoy our antics. We will revisit the Walt Disney World tours at a later date when we have had more time to explore! Oh, and we got silhouettes cut on Main Street.

Well it has been a few weeks, but I hope the idea I had for this episode turns out to be worth the wait for you. I took some time off for the holidays to relax with my family, then we hit my birthday and New Years Day, and we made a BIG announcement for the future of the podcast on Instagram. When I talked about that BIG announcement here on the podcast for the first time, I wanted to make sure it was an extra special episode. I have always wanted to record LIVE from somewhere on WDW property, and with the park hopping time restrictions FINALLY being lifted, I thought why not take "The 4 Park Challenge" to the next level, and not just visit all 4 parks in the same day, but bring my recording equipment with me and record a full episode, by going to all 4 parks and recording a segment at each of them. Hopefully you guys get a kick out of the background ambiance during this episode! The gears are already spinning for future episode ideas that I can return to the parks to record as well, so hopefully this episode is something you all enjoy.Now, as for that big announcement...I am so happy to announce that I have picked up my first ever full podcast sponsor, and I could not be more excited to let you all know that The DMSW Podcast is now officially a podcast partner of the ConciEARS Travel Agency. You can find ConciEARS on Instagram at the account @conciears and if you have questions about your upcoming vacation, or would like help planning your next trip, click this link to take you to a google form to get you in touch with the perfect travel planner.I will have more guests, and more information to talk all things ConciEARS with you going forward, but trust me when I say, this partnership will not change me, the content I make for this podcast, or for my Instagram feed. This only means more fun for you as listeners and followers through everything I am trying to create, because I now have an entire travel agency ready to have some fun with me going forward too. Follow and Interact with the show on Instagram...@thedmswpodcastFollow and Interact with the show on Facebook...Facebook PAGE for The DMSW PodcastSend the show an email...thedmswpodcast@gmail.com

This could explain why a new location like this isn't as busy as other similar locations that have drawn much bigger crowds. – https://www.micechat.com/372173-disneyland-update-treehouse-triumph-jungle-turbulence-toontown-turmoil/ With the Holiday season starting this week, the Christmas tree on Main Street has been installed.

From ears, to spirit jerseys and everything in-between, there is truly something for everyone. – https://www.micechat.com/369082-disneyland-holiday-merchandise-2023/ A new character from the upcoming Disney movie Wish is going to be meeting and greeting at the resort soon. On November 22nd, the day of the movie premiere, she will be in front of the Royal Hall in Fantasyland. It isn't clear if she will be around beyond the one day, but we will update you once we know. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/11/asha-from-wish-arriving-at-disneyland-resort-on-november-22/ There is trouble on the waterways of the Jungle Cruise. The attraction closed abruptly last week and was closed through the weekend. Scrims have gone up around the tiger area that can be seen from the exterior portion of the Indy queue. Micechat reports that the rockwork by the tiger was crumbling and in need of repair. The attraction will hopefully reopen with this section behind scrims. – https://www.micechat.com/372173-disneyland-update-treehouse-triumph-jungle-turbulence-toontown-turmoil/ As we reported on previously, part of Toontown have come out from behind construction walls. The fountain is the only section that was previously closed to guests that is still unavailable, and the walls moved around Goofy's How to Play Yard, and Donald's Duck Pond. November 11th should be the last day for all walls in Toontown, unless the schedule slips. – https://www.micechat.com/372173-disneyland-update-treehouse-triumph-jungle-turbulence-toontown-turmoil/ January 7th will mark the end of Tail of the Lion King in the Fantasyland Theatre. The show ran for a little under two years, and wasn't as flashy as other shows that used this venue, but it was still a very well done, lively show. – https://www.micechat.com/372173-disneyland-update-treehouse-triumph-jungle-turbulence-toontown-turmoil/ Discussion Topic: Adventure by Disney Trip with Josey https://www.adventuresbydisney.com/destinations/around-the-world/global-jet-adventures/ This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

On the exterior of the attraction, new projection effects and lighting really bring the mountain to life. Inside the attraction, new projection effects have been added “in space” for guests to experience. The section of the attraction just after the first small lift hill is completely dark, but David from Fresh Baked reported that a cast member informed him they are still working on it. – https://www.micechat.com/371431-disneyland-news-voices-silenced-new-projects/ https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/10/photos-video-space-mountain-reopens-with-new-projection-effects-at-disneyland-park/ The new bar at The Villas at the Disneyland Hotel opens this week!

News: Over at MiceChat, Dusty Sage was able to have a conversation with higher-up associated with Tiana's Bayou Adventure where he expressed his dismay at the focus on the search for a missing ingredient. If Dusty is right, there is a lot more going on with this attraction. Per his conversation, it is a sort of fake out for guests concealing the fact that they are doing a lot more with this attraction than has been announced. Massive set pieces are being installed to make this much more grand than the attraction that it is replacing. They are also spending a considerable amount on this project that they could have built an entirely new attraction. – https://www.micechat.com/371000-disneyland-update-snowfall-pumpkins-missed-opportunities/ It is possible that by the time you listen to this, the Adventureland Treehouse could be open!

The CenTOONial Park is scheduled to reopen on October 30th, and then Goofy's How-to-Play Yard will close on the same day. Changes to this area are scheduled to wrap up and reopen to the public on November 10th. Hopefully, this will just leave Donald's Duck Pond having never been operating for guests. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/10/17/one-disney-attraction-will-reopen-soon-but-another-will-close-the-same-day/ A fun new activity is coming to the Disneyland Resort this Halloween Season.

DisneylandForward is the plan to promote future ideas for the Disneyland Resort to the public and the government of Anaheim to start planning for the future. The biggest priority at the moment is to earn good will with the city to re-zone the parking areas around the resort to mixed use, which will allow Disney the option to do almost anything they can think of with the space. - https://www.micechat.com/286075-disneylandforward-explained-future-expansion/ A change to the reservation system at Disneyland took place this past week. Guests can now modify their reservations without the need to cancel the existing reservation first. This includes starting park and the date of the visit. Reservations are still required to be modified or canceled before midnight the day before to avoid a no-show. - https://www.micechat.com/356770-disneyland-update-floridas-loss-is-disneylands-gain/ With ToonTown just a few of months old at this point, some adjustments are happening.

The Galactic Starcruiser was a 2-night experience that immersed guests into the world of Star Wars in a cruise-like atmosphere. The experience was criticized for being too expensive and not broadly appealing. Some of the interactive elements that were originally planned for Star Wars Galaxy's Edge were taken and implemented in this experience instead. Hopefully, this means that some of the interactive characters, droids, and other experiences might come to the parks in the future. - https://www.micechat.com/356770-disneyland-update-floridas-loss-is-disneylands-gain/ - https://www.micechat.com/356770-disneyland-update-floridas-loss-is-disneylands-gain/ There are some big changes at the Walt Disney Company.
