Book your travel through ConciEARS and get your first year of Touring Plans for FREE! Just mention that you heard about ConciEARS from DLWeekly at booking! Join the All Enchanting Ears Ears of the Month Club! https://www.patreon.com/allenchantingears News: The plan that Disneyland proposed to the local and state governments was partially accepted last week, making it official that Downtown Disney, and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa and Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel are cleared to open, in line with the proposed plan. The plan for the theme parks are still being reviewed and have not been approved as of the recording of this episode. – https://wdwnt.com/2020/06/downtown-disney-district-disneys-grand-californian-hotel-spa-and-disneys-paradise-pier-hotel-approved-for-phased-reopening/ The new Disney Parks Pass system was launched this week for Walt Disney World guests that had existing reservations at the resort hotels. Guests needed to be signed into the My Disney Experience login, and have an active theme park ticket to proceed through the system. Be sure to have your park ticket, any hotel reservations, and your party created before you begin for the easiest path through the system. On the first day, guests were then put into a virtual queue with a very inaccurate wait time. At that point, you could “view availability” much like the Flex Pass calendar system. Green showed all parks available, yellow for some parks available, and grey for no parks available. You select a date and the available parks are displayed. Then you will need to select a time to visit the park. Afterwards, you need to review and confirm your reservation. Multi-day tickets are required to make a reservation for every day of the ticket. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2020/06/first-look-at-new-theme-park-reservation-system-for-disneyland-and-walt-disney-world-revealed/ and https://wdwnt.com/2020/06/how-to-access-the-new-disney-park-pass-system-at-walt-disney-world-new-availability-calendar-available/ With the parks planned reopening approaching, the Incredibles have shown up to help guests remember the guidelines to attend. Frozone will remind you to check your temperature, Mrs. Incredible will remind you to maintain proper distance with others, Dash wants you to wash your hands, and Edna Mode will remind you to cover up with a mask. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/06/together-lets-make-your-next-disney-day-incredible/ If you are one of the folks excited to get back onto Disney property, then July 9th can’t come soon enough. Disney has posted a Know Before You Go poster on what to know and be prepared for when you get back to the resort. Downtown Disney will be the first part to open and will require a few things from guests. Parking and entrances to the area will be limited. Guests will need to self-park in the Simba lot and enter Downtown Disney from the west entrance or walk from Harbor Boulevard on the east entrance. Guest’s temperatures will be screened and anyone with a temperature of 100.4 or higher will not be allowed entry. Cleaning and sanitation will be emphasized with hand sanitizer and hand washing stations in key areas. Guests must bring their own face masks and wear them at all times, except for when dining. Physical distancing will be expected, along with limited capacity. Hours will vary by location and could be limited. Cashless payment is recommended, if at all possible. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/06/heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-phased-reopening-of-downtown-disney-district-at-disneyland-resort-beginning-july-9/ Disneyland has started recalling cast members back from the furlough. The union representing food and beverage workers said that Disney was going to recall 775 cast members who will return to work on June 28th. The union represents more than 7,850 cast members. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2020/06/22/news-disneyland-has-started-recalling-cast-members-from-furlough/ Not everyone is as excited as we are that Disneyland is planning to reopen. Some of the Disneyland employee unions are demanding that the reopening be pushed back due to the recent rise in COVID-19 cases. The union represent 17,000 of the 31,000 cast members at the resort. The unions want Disneyland to check temperatures of cast members daily, and test employees for COVID-19. – https://www.ocregister.com/2020/06/19/disneyland-employee-unions-demand-that-the-anaheim-theme-parks-not-reopen-on-july-17/ June is National Safety Month, which recognizes the importance of safety in the workplace, as well as in communities through education, leadership, and advocacy. The Disney Parks Blog posted about this and introduced some of the cast members that help make Disney Parks safe around the world every month of the year. If you are interested in learning more about the health and safety team at Disney, check out the link in our show notes. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/06/recognizing-national-safety-month-at-disney-parks-around-the-world/ For members of the military that purchased a Military Salute Ticket, the expiration dates have been pushed back to December 16, 2021. There will be blockout days of December 19th, 2020 through January 4, 2021 and March 26th, 2021 through April 11, 2021. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2020/06/19/news-disneylands-2020-military-salute-tickets-are-being-extended/ As we reported on last week, Orange County had lifted the order to wear face masks when out in public. On June 18th, the State of California stepped in and requires face masks to be worn “in common public indoor spaces and outdoors when distancing is not possible.” Children ages two and under, as well as “persons who are seated at a restaurant or other establishment that offers food or beverage service, while they are eating or drinking” is exempt from the order. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2020/06/18/news-california-requires-the-wearing-of-face-coverings-in-public-areas/ The Bowers Museum, which currently houses the “Inside the Disney Archives – 50 Years of Preserving the Magic” exhibition has reopened! If you are going to be in the area and want to check out the exhibit, they opened on June 19th. All people in the building will be required to wear a face mask and to practice social distancing. If you had tickets to visit during the shutdown, you can still use them. For more details, visit the link in our show notes. – https://www.bowers.org/index.php/current-exhibition/inside-the-disney-archives-50-years-of-preserving-the-magic and https://www.bowers.org/index.php/visit/health-safety Another addition to the Ink and Paint Collection is coming soon to shopDisney. Joining the collection is a Disney Store Key, which is all white printed with sketched outlines of classic animated characters and has a few splashes of red, yellow, blue, and green, plus dark blue accents on the stem and castle. No official release date has been announced. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2020/06/new-ink-paint-collection-disney-store-key-coming-soon-to-shopdisney/ Some of the sights from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will be available for you to build in the form of Legos coming this September. The Resistance I-TS Transport set includes the ship that you board to escape Batuu in Rise of the Resistance and includes a Lego version of Vi Moradi and Lieutenant Bek. The set will be 932 pieces, with access to the cargo hold and cockpit. There are also studs that can be “shot” from the cannons. The set will be on sale for $99.99. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2020/06/shop-new-lego-star-wars-rise-of-the-resistance-i-ts-transport-set-including-vi-moradi-and-lieutenant-bek-figures-coming-this-september/ A visit to your local Target store might be a small way to get a little of the Star Wars Disney magic in your life. Some select Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge merchandise is reportedly coming to Target in the future. Items include Star Wars: The Black Series Hondo Ohnaka, a mountain trooper, and Captain Cardinal. The Vintage series will feature a Millennium Falcon inspired by Smugglers Run in Galaxy’s Edge. The Droid Factory build-a-droid experience will also come to the stores, along with some plush from the creature stall in Black Spire Outpost. – https://wdwnt.com/2020/06/select-star-wars-galaxys-edge-merchandise-reportedly-coming-to-target/

Try the gourmet marshmallows at Trolley Treats. Flavors vary daily depending on the kitchen. Not sure if there is a way to check with Disney to see what will be offered during a particular day. I know Candy Kitchen has their own Hotline at (714) 781-0112 Anyhow, I have two tips about this place. First, Trolley Treats recently started selling smaller portions of their marshmallows. Normally they sell the flavors in a package of two large portions at $5.95. But you can get the smaller ones at the counter. I believe you have a choice of three for $4.95. Here is a list of flavors. Campfire S'mores - Vanilla marshmallow on top of a crunchy graham cracker with a layer of chocolate between. Banana Split - Banana Marshmallow with caramel, chocolate drizzle and cherry on top. Luscious Lemon - Lemony flavored marshmallow with graham cracker crumbs and a lemon marmalade drizzle. Peanut Butter Chocolate Madness - This is a peanut butter/chocolate flavored marshmallow with chocolate chips, chopped peanuts and peanut butter cookie crumbles. Raspberry Chip - Raspberry infused marshmallow with semi-sweet chocolate chips. Watermelon - Dual layered marshmallow in light green and pink. Flavored with watermelon and contains chocolate chips to look like seeds. This is my wife's favorite. Nutmallow - Generous coating of chocolate on top of a vanilla marshmallow with walnuts. During the Holidays they have peppermint and egg nog flavors. Last year they did not sell the peppermint. During our Holiday Tour, cast members told us that they were only giving them to guest on the tour. Not sure if it will change, but it was the best peppermint marshmallow I've ever tasted. Egg nog was good too, but could be better. HERE'S THE SECOND TIP: Try to get the marshmallows from the back kitchen. Look at what they're making and ask the cast members if you can purchase a fresh marshmallow. They may be reluctant, but just ask nicely. This makes a HUGE difference in the flavor, especially with the S'mores. It's hard to tell how long some of the packages on the floor have been sitting there. With the S'mores, the graham cracker gets soft. When fresh, it's really crunchy. I'm assuming that's probably the case with the other marshmallows that have some type of pastry with it.

Did you know we're finally getting Mekaneck? Oh and what a neck it is. Speaking of Meka's, we're also getting a mechanized Darth Maul in a Battle Pack with one of the hardest to find Clone Wars figures and a fan favorite. Even if the Voyager Fall of Cybertron Soundwave poops out his data discs (never knew difference of disc vs. disk), I still love him with all my heart. Something else I love is YoJoe.com's new Toy Archive. It's amazing when the best get better.
