The plan includes utilities, temporary trailers, and parking lots in the backstage area behind Avengers Campus. The expansion is NOT part of the DisneylandForward plan, according to the city. Construction should begin in 2025. – NEWS: Disney Submits Plans for NEW Park Expansion | the disney food blog Last week was Thanksgiving in the United States, and Walt Disney World and Disneyland helped those in need. In Anaheim, Disneyland teamed up with Northgate Gonzalez Markets to deliver groceries to 125 families, and $15,000 in holiday food vouchers to community nonprofits. The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Anaheim-Cypress, Anaheim Independica Family Resource Center, and Chrysalis Anaheim were all recipients of the vouchers. – Disney Serves Up Food for Families in Need this Thanksgiving – Disney Parks Blog We talked about the new Haunted Mansion queue last week on the podcast, and even more in the bonus episode that is out now for supporters, but Disney has posted even more about it on the Disney Parks Blog. The first part of the new queue was designed by Master Gracey, one of the mansion's ghosts. Further along is Madame Leota's garden. Finally, near the back of the queue is the mansion greenhouse, which belongs to all the mansion's ghosts. The new shop also has a name now – Somewhere Beyond. Before being a shop, the cariiage house was home to the mansion's head caretaker, but Madame Leota took over. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/new-haunted-mansion-experiences-disneyland/ This holiday season is the first for the newly reimagined Pixar Place Hotel. There are multiple trees around the lobby, each themed to a different Disney/Pixar movie. In addition to the trees, there are also other holiday decorations around the guest areas, inside and out. – DISNEYLAND UPDATE: Holiday Humbugs, Haunted Happenings & the Pricing Paradox The snack cart in Disney's Grand Californian Hotel lobby has been expanded. New counters and cabinetry have been installed, making this look like a more permanent location that blends in with the Craftsmen style of the hotel. – DISNEYLAND UPDATE: Holiday Humbugs, Haunted Happenings & the Pricing Paradox One of the new shops has opened in Downtown Disney! D-Lander. which features high-end products and collaborations with different clothing and jewelry brands. Later this week, Avenges Reserve will open next door, featuring a selection of Marvel themed items. – DISNEYLAND UPDATE: Holiday Humbugs, Haunted Happenings & the Pricing Paradox Before the Walt Disney – A Magical Life shop even debuts to the public, there is already some controversy. The immediate family of Walt Disney himself are asking guests to write in to the company to get the animatronic Walt scrapped. Joanna Miller posted on Facebook that Walt never wanted to be an animatronic, and doing so is going against his wishes. – DISNEYLAND UPDATE: Holiday Humbugs, Haunted Happenings & the Pricing Paradox SnackChat: The Little Red Wagon Market House – https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disneyland/market-house/menus/ TriviaLand: Discussion Topic: Kaye Malin – https://www.waltdisneymuseum.org/

Please support the show if you can by going to https://www.dlweekly.net/support/. Check out all of our current partners and exclusive discounts at https://www.dlweekly.net/promos. News: Space Mountain recently reopened from a refurbishment with some updates. The light tunnel at the beginning of the attraction has been fixed and is working again. The projections of the galaxies has also been updated to a brighter, more high definition projection. – https://youtu.be/iKrbcKApSEg?si=CddIA0jx_UCXT1LE If you could brave the heat this week, Disneyland was very pleasant. The above 100 degree temperatures kept a lot of guests away, which meant low crowds all around the resort. Clear walkways, and low wait times for attractions were good, but some attractions were down most of the day. Grizzly River Run was one of the top attractions at a wait time of only 10 to 40 minutes! – https://www.micechat.com/397277-disneyland-update-haunts-heat-halloween-treats/ Over the scorching temperatures this weekend, the runDisney Half Marathon Weekend took place. The event was sold out, with events ranging from Disneyland Yoga at Sleeping Beauty Castle, to the kids races, to the main events of the 5K, 10K, and half marathon. The Thrills and Chills Challenge was for runners who completed the 10K and the Half Marathon. – https://www.micechat.com/397277-disneyland-update-haunts-heat-halloween-treats/ Guests of the Disneyland Hotel have a new security entrance into Downtown Disney. At the location of the previous security entrance, a new canopy and screening area has been constructed. This area is not as themed as the mid-century modern checkpoint that opened a few months ago by Din Tai Fung, so it could be temporary until Disney decides what to do with this area and Disneyland Forward. – https://www.micechat.com/397277-disneyland-update-haunts-heat-halloween-treats/ In some #saveteresastrees news, some trees have been replanted! At the main entrance where they have been doing a lot of ground work, the trees that had been there were removed. As of this week, the trees are back and providing shade for guests. – https://www.micechat.com/397277-disneyland-update-haunts-heat-halloween-treats/ Some Halloween novelties have appeared around the resort. Returning this year is the Carthay Circle Spooky Tree Flight, which includes the themed tree and three poison apple cups. Coming soon are the Vampire Stitch popcorn bucket, a Halloween Alien sipper with pop out wings, and a popcorn bucket modeled after Scary Teddy from “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” – https://www.micechat.com/397277-disneyland-update-haunts-heat-halloween-treats/ The Tomorrowland Skyline Terrace has an updated offering for their lounge and fireworks viewing. The previous hot packaged meal has been replaced with a cold charcuterie-style sandwich, waldorf salad, cheese and crackers, seasonal fruit, seasonal desserts and chocolate, and continues to offer unlimited soft drinks, bottled water, coffee, hot tea, or hot chocolate, and a specialty themed non-alcoholic beverage. The package is $89 per person. – https://www.micechat.com/397277-disneyland-update-haunts-heat-halloween-treats/ A video on YouTube displays a LEGO recreation of Pirates of the Caribbean, including real water! The creation is a mix between the Disneyland and Walt Disney World versions of the attraction. – LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean Ride with Real Water!

In my last podcast I noted an incredible array of projects that were announced at this year's D23 event. These projects which included a Cars set of attractions at Magic Kingdom that were presented before a paid audience were all encompassing, and were impressive examples of what Imagineering can potentially do. I then expressed frustration at the end of my podcast at how two days later, a graphic was shown illustrating where the Cars attractions was really going. After the podcast I wondered why I was so personally irritated at this news. Yes, I really don't think that you need to remove the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer's Island to add these projects. But that wasn't the real source of my frustration. In hindsight I really felt that Josh D'Amaro, who I had great respect--even admiration--had really played games with Disney fans. I felt it was in a subtle way a betrayal of trust, and that such a move on Disney's part was really something Disney should not do. This podcast seeks to explain why Disney struggles with fans believing in their word and in what they are doing. We will look at a history that goes decades back to where The Walt Disney Company has made promises and have reneged. We will look at a larger issue that goes from a project called WestCOT all the way to Disneyland Forward. It's about trust, transparency, and being forthright, no matter who you are. Know that I am bringing out issues I would share with any client I had in an attempt to help them improve their organization. Walt Disney said: "When they come here they're coming because of an integrity that we've established over the years. And they drive hundreds of miles. I feel a responsibility to the public." Guests today fly thousands of miles, and they spend thousands of dollars on a Disney vacation. Trust and integrity on Disney's part is the "responsibility" Walt is speaking of. And it's what we are speaking of in this podcast. __________________________________________________ My new book, A Century of Powerful Disney Insights, Volume I 1923-1973, The Walt & Roy Disney Years is available!  Also, check out my two of my other books, The Wonderful World of Customer Service at Disney and Disney, Leadership and You.

Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by Emily and Clayton as they discuss What's next on their Disney bucket lists, what shows they would like to see in the Fantasyland Theatre and Hyperion Theater, what about Disney surprised them the most, and what areas of Disnyland they would like to see reworked/refreshed. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: What's next on your Disney bucket list? Question 2: Now that the Tale of the Lion King show is gone, what stage show would you like to see brought to Disneyland's Fantasyland Theatre? Expanding on that, what about bringing something back to the Hyperion Theater in DCA? Question 3: What is something that has surprised you most about Disney? Question 4: With the news of approval on Disneyland Forward, a lot of focus has been placed upon what new things will come from future expansion. Instead, let's focus on improving what already exists. What current area(s) of the parks would you like Disney to rework/refresh?  Bonus Question: I know you love the idea of moving back to thematic lands rather than IP lands so… What theme would you like to see a land based around and what would you put there?

Thank you listener for sticking with us through our continued evolution. To paraphrase Walt Disney: The Supreme resort will never be complete. It will always be in a state of becoming.
