Antonio has been working at the Disneyland Resort for 18 years, and has received over 735 cast compliments from guests. Antonio works at Pixar Pier attractions and before Disneyland, worked for nearly 10 years in hospitality in Dubai and Qatar.

To get the most out of the pass, which is $63, or $58 for Key Holders, you need each item to be over $7.75 (or $7.25 for Key Holders). Most of the items are above this threshold. Some of the non-alcoholic drinks and desserts are closer to the break even point, so look out for those. Another tip – order at one booth and take the receipt to the other booths for redemption. – https://www.micechat.com/381303-make-the-most-of-your-sip-savor-pass-at-california-adventure-food-wine-festival/ Sip & Savor pass purchasers should be sure to get the free picnic plate that comes with the pass.

Last week, Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars Galaxy's Edge had the cannons fixed! This effect has not been working for the last year or more.

Tiana's Palace background music.This features a fair amount of ambience including Walt Disney's speech being tapped in Morse Code at the Disneyland Railroad station, trains rolling into the station, sounds of Tom Sawyer's island rafts motors, beignet bags being shaken to coat the sugar on this pastry treat, and families walking by late morning discussing their plans.This recording is from behind the bandstand earlier in the day. Tiana's Palace has been opening early allowing for many people to take advantage of the redone quick service restaurant. The walkway started to get somewhat busy 20 or so minutes into the recording.It's a bit challenging to get this audio when it's busy and I'll absolutely need to come back at night some time. Audio recorded 11/4/23 at 10:27AM.Weather: Mid-80s Fall day, which started off in the high 50s.

When we started this podcast series examining the lands of Disneyland Park in the Disneyland Paris Resort, we began our first focused podcast with Fantasia Gardens, moved past the Disneyland Hotel, and down the left side of Main Street U.S.A., to include the Liberty arcade. We have then moved through Frontierland, Adventureland, Fantasyland and Discoveryland. Now we will return to Main Street and move down the right side toward the castle. One might think this is a lot of podcast for what is a lot of shops and eateries but I hold that this is perhaps the best designed retail and dining experience in the world. Even better than any of the other Main Streets found in parks world-wide. The attention Imagineers put toward the design of this street is unparalleled in terms of attention to detail, especially for something that is not really about rides and attractions (though we will talk about the Disneyland Railroad). In fact, we will consider this as to whether this is the best combined indoor/outdoor entertainment/retail/dining mall-style experience across the globe. Join us as we continue our series of celebrating the many lands of Disneyland Park in Disneyland Paris.

This year has been crazy in terms of weather, but not so far as snow! Weather experts said it was more of what is called graupel, which is snowflakes that collect water droplets on the outer surface. Either way, it was still surreal to see all the pictures and videos online of the weather event! - https://www.micechat.com/349659-disneyland-update-exciting-finds-feasts-and-oswald-meets/ One of the original steam engines of the Disneyland Railroad has returned to carrying guests on a grand circle tour of Disneyland this week. The EP Ripley, named after Edward Payson Ripley of the Santa Fe Railroad, was taken off the tracks a few years ago for repairs, and then underwent a full restoration starting in 2021. The original boiler had to be replicated, along with the headlamp and bell. The parts had to be replicated since they are not manufactured anymore. - https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/03/an-original-disneyland-railroad-steam-engine-is-back-on-track/ With Toontown fully opening very soon, some new things can be noticed through the construction walls.

Andrew Kiste, the author of Walt Disney and the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair: TravelMagic, unveils details about the latest book in a series that explores the monumental pavilions that The Walt Disney Company created attractions for within the unforgettable American exposition. In his latest release, Andrew discusses the partnership between Ford and Disney that would provide the foundation for future attractions like the PeopleMover and the Primeval World scene on the Disneyland Railroad. Kiste speaks with Notably Disney host Brett Nachman about uncovering long-forgotten artifacts from the pavilion's development, explaining how the Magic Skyway attraction operated, and engaging with individuals who worked the pavilion nearly six decades ago.  Check out Andrew's website (www.KisteTheHistorian.com) for more information about his books, including an interactive bibliography.

All aboard! This week we take a grand circle tour of the magic kingdom --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Star Wars Land is officially under construction at Disneyland. This week, to make way for the 14-acre addition to the park's northwest corner, several sections of the park were closed—some temporarily, some permanently. The Rivers of America will be drained and rerouted, resulting in a shorter trip around a smaller Tom Sawyer Island. That project will take at least a year, which means no Mark Twain, no Columbia, no canoes, no island rafts and no Fantasmic! during that time. The Disneyland Railroad will also take a hiatus so the track around the river can be reconfigured. Big Thunder Ranch and the Big Thunder BBQ: gone forever, their footprints expected to become the gateway to Star Wars Land. What will we get when the dust finally settles? The largest single-themed land expansion in Disneyland history, featuring two E-ticket attractions: one that puts you in the middle of a battle between the First Order and the Resistance, another that puts you behind the controls of the Millennium Falcon. The changes don't come without controversy, though. While many hail the arrival of a galaxy far, far away at the Happiest Place on Earth, others are less than enthusiastic, feeling this is a sea change that alters the very core of what makes Disneyland Disneyland--what my first guest, Disney historian Sam Gennawey, calls the park's historic DNA. I spoke with Sam a week ago, when guests were still clamoring for one final float around the river and one final grand circle tour. I also spoke with multimedia reporter Mark Eades with the Orange County Register. Mark has written extensively about Disneyland and is a former Imagineer himself. He knows his stuff. Sam Gennaway and Mark Eades offer two distinct viewpoints about what may be the most significant expansion in Disneyland history. They're my guests today in The Mouse Castle Lounge.
