News: An iconic part of Disneyland history – and Disney in general will be getting refurbished soon. Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room closed this week to perform routine maintenance on the lighting, sound, and show. The mighty tree of Tangaroa will be recreated from a high resolution digital scan. The current Tangaroa is no longer able to be repaired, having been there since the attraction opening in 1963. The attraction will reopen later this summer. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/tangaroa-tree-be-rebuilt-during-upcoming-refurbishment-walt-disneys-enchanted-tiki-room-disneyland/ https://www.micechat.com/146135-rolly-crump-impostor-syndrome-part-2/ Tour dates are open for the new guided tour coming to Disneyland for the 70th anniversary.

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.

The summer and fall calendars are brimming with events like Grad Nite, Pride Nites, and Oogie Boogie Bash. With our constantly updated list of early closure dates, you'll learn to stay one step ahead and turn a potential schedule hiccup into an opportunity for even more fun in the park.If you have already planned a trip for a day when the parks might be closing early, we will give you tips for working around those parties to make sure you get the most out of your days at Disneyland or California Adventure. Right now, our tools are just for Disneyland, but we hope to expand to other parks soon.

In the magical world of Disneyland, there are stories that often remain hidden behind the enchantment. Join us in this episode of The Scarecast as we peel back the layers of Disneyland history and explore three intriguing and chilling stories.First, we take you to the heart of Disneyland, to a small apartment above the Firehouse on Main Street. This was Walt Disney's personal retreat, and even after his passing, his beloved lamp in the apartment's window has remained lit. But what's the eerie legend behind this glowing lamp? Then, we shift our focus to Grad Nite, a tradition for high school graduates that has a darker side. In 1966, a young man named Thomas Guy Cleveland embarked on an ill-fated adventure that ended in tragedy on the monorail tracks. His story reveals a side of Disneyland rarely talked about—a side where accidents can turn magical nights into nightmares.But that's not all; just a year later in 1967, another tragedy occurred on the People Mover ride, where a teenager lost his life attempting a dangerous stunt. The eerie question arises: What are the odds of two eerily similar fatalities occurring on the same ride?Join us for a journey into the unknown, as we uncover the legends, mysteries, and haunting experiences of Disneyland. And don't forget to follow me on Instagram and TikTok @thescarecast for exclusive content, including a unique experience shared by one of our listeners inside the Firehouse below Walt's apartment.WARNING: This episode includes discussions of graphic content, listener please be advised.*******Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thescarecast/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thescarecast?lang=enGo Subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@scarecastBuy Merch: https://thescarecast.com/store/Contact me through email: mike@thescarecast.com for any story requests or inquiries, concerns, or advertising inquiries.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-scarecast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Photo ops will also be available, along with, of course, plenty of fun food and beverage options. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2022/06/new-details-announced-for-the-first-ever-disneyland-after-dark-grad-nite-reunion-event/ Disneyland Paris celebrated its 30th anniversary back in April, and with it came a new nighttime spectacular that utilized drones. Disneyland is exploring ways to use drones in future spectaculars, but is still very much in the blue sky, or early planning stages. One of the challenges is the location of the park near neighborhoods and highways. Other massive drone shows take place in more rural areas like desserts. – https://www.ocregister.com/2022/06/10/disneyland-explores-ways-to-use-aerial-drones-in-nighttime-spectaculars/ This past Sunday, a favorite classic villain returned to Tomorrowland. Darth Vader is now meeting again the the Star Wars Launch Bay for a limited time. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2022/06/11/darth-vader-is-returning-to-disneyland-for-a-limited-time/ Not all is happily ever after at Snow White's Enchanted Wish at Disneyland. Most of the projections after the poison apple scene have not been working recently. This doesn't make the attraction un-rideable, but it does lose a lot of the magic of the re-imagined attraction. – https://www.micechat.com/323777-disneyland-update-poison-apples-summer-crowds-spider-fail/ Finally, there have been some progress happening at the entrance to Tomorrowland! However, these are not the changes that we had been promised when the old french fry rocks had been removed. No word on if this is temporary, or the new plan for the entrance. – https://www.micechat.com/323777-disneyland-update-poison-apples-summer-crowds-spider-fail/ A new dance party is happening nightly in Tomorrowland throughout the summer. Stitch's Interplanetary Beach Party Blast features some of your favorite characters in space suits performing groovy dance moves. It runs from 7pm-11pm nightly. – https://www.micechat.com/323777-disneyland-update-poison-apples-summer-crowds-spider-fail/ Fans of Buzz Lightyear and the upcoming Lightyear movie get excited! A new drink holder is coming to Disneyland based on the space ranger himself. The Lightyear gauntlet is very similar to the Thanos Infinity gauntlet that was for sale previously. The gauntlet should be available soon. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2022/06/09/youll-be-able-to-drink-out-of-buzz-lightyears-hand-in-disneyland-yes-you-read-that-right/ As we reported on previously, there is a new Paradise Pier hotel guest entrance to Disney California Adventure. The new pathway and entrance is now open for guests to use. Unlike the entrance to DCA from the Grand Californian, this entrance is exclusive to guests of the hotel, and your room key is required. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2022/06/11/news-disney-california-adventure-entrance-from-paradise-pier-hotel-now-open/ Last week, one of the performances of the Spider-Man stuntronic show didn't go exactly as planned. From video posted on Instagram from a guest at the show, it appeared that the stuntronic didn't release from the web line and came crashing down into the building where Spider-Man usually lands safely. The side of the building is designed to break away in the case of this type of malfunction, and by one of the shows later in the day, it looked like nothing had happened. – https://www.micechat.com/323777-disneyland-update-poison-apples-summer-crowds-spider-fail/ Discussion Topic: Nicolasa – Disneyana Fan Club – https://disneyanafanclub.weebly.com/

LEGACY SH VAPA (323) 358-7500 12/5/21 Hello VAPA Community. This is Dr. Trimis. Hola, comunidad de VAPA. Congratulations to our instrumental music groups directed by Mr. Cuevas who performed last Friday in Winterfest. I encourage you to come out for the vocal groups Winterfest this Thursday and dance Winterfest this Friday, both at 6:3-0 pm. Cost of admission is an un-wrapped, new toy donation for our Toy Drive. Please note all students must be fully vaccinated by the start of the Spring Semester. More info and vaccine appointments may be found at https://achieve.lausd.net/covidvaccineappt  This week we will have on-site vaccination clinics at Legacy on Tuesday from 12-7 pm and on Thursday. Students must have a signed parent waiver to get a vaccination. We will have a number of upcoming incentives. Previously, we have given away a Nintendo Switch, Apple Airpods, an electric scooter, and drones. We will have another drawing on the last day of school for additional incentive prizes. Please note that LAUSD is reassigning students who are not vaccinated to City of Angels Virtual Academy as of January 10, and at that time, these students will no longer be attending VAPA and will not be able to participate in sports, music groups, or activities such as graduation and Grad Nite at VAPA. I want to encourage our students to get vaccinated their safety, the safety of their family and friends, the safety of our students and staff, and for the future of our school. Advisory teachers and staff can assist with uploading vaccination records.

Episode 37: the guys dive into several different topics tonight from Caitlyn Jenner as Governor to giving some young kids a bad time for going to Sober Grad Nite. Enjoy...

This week, Buena Vista Street has opened, Walt and Mickey have a refreshed look, Avenger’s Campus updates, new food in DCA, Grad Nite 2021 update, we talk to Liberty about her Disney World trip, and more! Please support the show if you can by going to https://www.dlweekly.net/support/. If you want some DLWeekly Swag, you can pick some up at https://www.dlweekly.net/store/. Book your travel through ConciEARS and ask about custom dining adventures! Be sure to mention that you heard about ConciEARS from DLWeekly at booking! All Enchanting Ears is offering 10% off for podcast listeners and weekly flash sales! Head on over to allenchantingears.com and use DLWEEKLY10 at checkout. News: Buena Vista Street has reopened and guests have descended upon the resort to step foot inside of a Disney park again. For those who may go in the near future, you will have to pay $10 to park in the Downtown Disney parking lot, stores are capped at 25% per state mandate, so be prepared to wait. To actually get access to Buena Vista Street, guests must wait in a queue or scan a daily-changing QR code to join the virtual queue. Once you get inside, there are also waits to enter the shops. – https://www.micechat.com/275982-disneyland-update-holiday-hopes-and-humbugs/ With the opening of Buena Vista Street, the Storytellers statue that features Mickey and Walt when first arriving in California has been refurbished. In Disneyland, the Partners statue was also refurbished. Over time, the bronze had oxidized, and because of the applied patina, acrylic polymer and wax, it required a more intensive process than just a simple cleaning or polishing. Over four days, an artisan utilized a process using crushed walnut shells to gently strip the figure down to the bare bronze. After cleaning, various chemicals were applied and heated with a blowtorch to create a reaction and fuse with the bronze. The figure was coated in a polymer to protect the patina, then coated with a very thin layer of wax. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/11/a-special-surprise-to-commemorate-mickeys-birthday-at-disneyland-resort/ Avenger’s Campus may not be open at Disney California Adventure at the moment, but you can still pick up your very own Spider-Bot! The Spider-Bot is a tool that WEB, or the Worldwide Engineering Brigade, built to help super heroes. Guests can find this fun toy, along with all new Avenger’s apparel at World of Disney or the Backlot Premiere Shop starting December 4th. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/11/first-chance-to-get-your-very-own-spider-bot-from-avengers-campus-at-disneyland-resort/ With the ability to be in Disney California Adventure, guests have been able to get a closer look at Avenger’s Campus! Most of the buildings that can be seen from guest accessible areas look in place, and nearly complete. With the pace and amount of work being done, this new area could open with the rest of the park sometime next year. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2020/11/19/photos-construction-is-moving-along-at-avengers-campus-in-disneyland/ Guests that would like to order a drink from Award Wieners can also purchase a Green or a Red Mickey Jingle Bell Glow Cube for just $4.99. For a more upscale dining experience, some of the new options at Carthay Circle might hit the spot. Baked Bay Scallops, Moroccan Roasted Chicken Meatballs, Pumpkin Ice Cream Sundae, and available. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2020/11/21/whats-new-at-disney-california-adventure-buena-vista-street-re-opens-with-new-menus-holiday-merchandise-and-more/ and https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2020/11/18/whats-new-at-downtown-disney-a-crazy-mickey-shake-iconic-mickey-ears-holiday-decorations-and-more/#more-408166 Without an opening date for the parks, and even knowing if graduation celebrations will be allowed next year, Disneyland has canceled the 2021 Grad Nite. Disney’s statement said “We know how disappointing this will be to the many graduates who were looking forward to celebrating at the Disneyland Resort, and we thank you for your understanding during these challenging and unprecedented times. We look forward to celebrating your students in years to come.” – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2020/11/24/news-grad-nite-2021-has-been-canceled-at-disneyland-resort/ Disney fans have been very excited about the Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway toys available at McDonald’s as part of a Happy Meal order. However, in just the last couple of days, the toys have been pulled from the restaurants. The QR codes to register to win a WDW trip were having some issues and new toys without the codes are on the way to restaurants now and should be in stock again soon. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2020/11/mcdonalds-temporarily-stops-selling-happy-meals-featuring-mickey-and-minnies-runaway-railway-toys-due-to-error/ Once again, a new Disney Paper Parks creation has been posted online. This time, it celebrates the unveiling of the Castle of Magical Dreams which just debuted in Hong Kong Disneyland. The cool thing about this version is there are two versions, an easy and a hard. Also, we somehow missed the last of the Happy Haunts Disney Paper Parks from the end of October, which features Madame Leota. Links are available in our show notes. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/11/disney-parks-blog-presents-disney-paper-parks-castle-of-magical-dreams-designed-by-imagineers/ and https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/10/disney-parks-blog-presents-disney-paper-parks-happy-haunts-edition-designed-by-walt-disney-imagineering-part-4/ With the holidays coming up, you might want to make some yummy Disney treats at home. The Gingerbread-Cream Cheese Muffin recipe has been posted on the Disney Parks Blog. This recipe is a little more complicated than the ones that we have posted previously, but should still be a lot of fun! – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/11/disneymagicmoments-cooking-up-the-magic-celebrate-national-gingerbread-day-with-our-gingerbread-cream-cheese-muffin-recipe/ Once again this year, Disney is airing the Wonderful World of Disney Magical Holiday Celebration Thanksgiving night at 9, 8 central on ABC. This year is the fifth anniversary of the broadcast and will feature Derek and Julianne Hough hosting from Disneyland, while Trevor Jackson hosts from Walt Disney World. The show will contain fan-favorite past performances throughout the years. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/11/abc-and-disney-parks-feature-nostalgic-performances-in-special-5th-anniversary-edition-of-the-wonderful-world-of-disney-magical-holiday-celebration/ This week, the Themed Entertainment Association honored Disney with two Outstanding Achievement Awards for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. Additionally, they gave the Buzz Price Thea Award, Recognizing a Lifetime of Distinguished Achievements to Walt Disney Imagineering President Bob Weis. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/11/themed-entertainment-association-honors-disney-with-two-thea-awards-for-outstanding-achievement-and-recognizes-walt-disney-imagineering-president-bob-weis-for-a-lifetime-of-distinguished-achievements/ Discussion Topic: Liberty about her trip to WDW

Senior Announcements (4/30/20) April 30, 2020 Dear VAPA Seniors and Parents or Guardians, We are now in the last month and a half of the school year and I have some updates for you. I'm sure you agree this has been an unprecedented time for all of us and I am sure not the way our seniors wanted to close their last year of high school. We are finding answers to questions as soon as possible and are working on plans to honor our seniors in a few different ways including signs and messages online. We have been featuring seniors on our social media sites and website. We are asking ALL seniors to send a photo and plans for college or whatever they will be doing after high school. We need these as soon as possible, ideally before Friday, May 1, so they may be featured in the slide show we are sending to LAUSD to be posted on the LAUSD website. Please send photos and information to Ms. Dadrass at pxd9265@lausd.net. We are planning virtual or online events for Cinco de Mayo, Senior Awards and Recital, and the National Honor Society Induction. Please look for updates and information on these and any other activities on our website at www.vapalegacy.com , the online website at www.bit.ly/vapaonline, and our social media sites. For planning purposes, these events will be celebrated on or near the traditional dates. We are looking at a few options for graduation and are awaiting for district approval to move forward including a virtual or online ceremony and some other innovative ideas. As soon as they are approved, we will survey our seniors and families to decide which way we will go. Please note the following regarding senior dues and refunds. Grad Nite which was a PTSA-sponsored event, was cancelled by Disneyland and refund checks have been mailed out to seniors. The Prom and Panorama Picture have been cancelled. Refund checks for these activities are being written, based on what students paid, and will be distributed as soon as possible, probably next week. T-Shirts and Sweatshirts have already been distributed and the Yearbook is still being produced, so there will not be refunds for these items. Yearbooks will not be done until the Fall and we will have a distribution and signing day when they are ready. We are so proud of our seniors and all their accomplishments. We hope you will do all you can to stay physically and emotionally fit over the rest of the year, through the summer, and into next year. As difficult as this is, especially for our seniors, this definitely will be a year to remember. Please also be sure to check our website regularly and utilize our social media platforms for updates (Website www.vapalegacy.com, ONLINE Website www.bit.ly/vapaonline, Facebook www.facebook.com/VAPAHS, Twitter https://twitter.com/vapa_at_legacy, and Instagram  www.instagram.com/vapa_at_legacy). Please also call me at any time at 323-357-7531 (office) or 323-596-7531(hotline) or e-mail me at etrimis@lausd.net . You may also send questions to our Parent Request system online at www.bit.ly/vaparequestenglish or www.bit.ly/vaparequyestspanish. Thank you and be well.   Sincerely, Edward Trimis, Principal

Weekly Updates April 26, 2020 Hello VAPA Community! This is Dr. Trimis with a few announcements! ¡Hola Comunidad de VAPA! Este es el Dr. Trimis con algunos anuncios!   At Legacy VAPA, we are continuing to connect with our students and community online. You may hear “virtual learning system” or “virtual academy” and these are all another way of saying “online school”.  We will continue teaching and learning in the environment for the rest of the semester which ends June 12 and in summer school, June 24-July 28. Teachers will be holding regular office hours and teaching online, sometimes through live online sessions with their students and sometimes through e-mail and text communications, depending on the teacher and the class. We hold staff and community meetings on Zoom, one of the video conferencing platforms that many schools use. Here are a few reminders: Grab and Go school meals continue to be distributed at South Gate and Southeast High Schools from 7-11 am each weekday. Seniors are being sent refunds for Grad Nite, which was cancelled by Disneyland, in the mail. Seniors are being reimbursed for fees paid for Prom and the Senior Picture as soon as the checks are ready and they will be distributed at school. We are preparing some online events to celebrate college acceptances and graduation. The 15 week report cards will be out soon. Please support our work at VAPA helping students succeed by ensuring students to their assigned work and attend classes online as scheduled. We are moving forward with preparation for the next school year including finalizing our budgets, completing the master schedule and assigning teachers and students to classes, and calendaring events, and sending out welcome packets and letters.  Finally, be sure to access these online resources. The Schoology Online Learning site at www.lms.lausd.net LAUSD website at www.lausd.net VAPA website at www.vapalegacy.com The VAPA Online website at http://www.bit.ly/vapaonline The VAPA Online What We Do site at www.bit.ly/vapaonlineprezi The VAPA Parent Request forms at www.bit.ly/vaparequestenglish and www.bit.ly/vaparequestspanish Thank you and see you at school online.   Take Care and Be Safe,   Dr. Edward Trimis, Principal

Just mention that you heard about ConciEARS from DLWeekly at booking!News:The date on when DIsneyland can open again is even more up in the air than ever before. California Governor Gavin Newsom, outlining his plan to reopen the state, said that mass gatherings of hundreds or thousands of people would likely be banned at least through the summer. This means that Disneyland may not welcome guests again until August or September. – https://www.micechat.com/256922-disneyland-reopening-unlikely-through-august-as-california-rules-out-mass-gatherings/ and https://blogmickey.com/2020/04/disneyland-summer-reopening-uncertain-after-recent-comments-from-governor-on-mass-gatherings/With the parks opening date uncertain at this point, Disneyland has cancelled the Grad Nite events for this year. Grad Nites were scheduled throughout May and early June. – https://www.micechat.com/257446-disneyland-update-its-about-time/ and https://wdwnt.com/2020/04/all-disneyland-grad-nite-2020-parties-cancelled-through-june-13-due-to-coronavirus-covid-19-pandemic/In Disney’s letter to furloughed cast members, they state that they do not anticipate being closed more than 6 months. That would still have the parks closed until September. – https://blogmickey.com/2020/04/disney-doesnt-anticipate-a-closure-of-more-than-6-months/The furloughs that began on April 19th impacted over 100,000 cast members. This is reported to be saving Disney $500 million per month across the theme parks and hotels around the world. The company has not made any changes to the $1.5 billion dividend to shareholders in July, or to the bonuses going to executives like Bob Chapek. – https://wdwnt.com/2020/04/disney-furloughs-to-save-company-500-million-a-month-during-extended-parks-closure-executive-bonuses-not-cut/With the closure of the parks and hotels – not just at Disneyland, but all around the Anaheim Resort District, a video was put together by the Anaheim Police Department and shared on Facebook.

 I have seen Weird Al perform many times at the parks. There was Grad Nite for me, and I saw several of his shows that evening. And then there was a night out at Pleasure Island where it was a giant sing-along; he did costume changes and had a really fun show. I explore his history with the parks - though he is just a fan as I am. Also I play a clip from his song "Skipper Dan" which is a fun parody of the Jungle Cruise skippers. [editor's note: I downloaded a copy when he made it available last year as a teaser. I use it here, but would hope that if you like it, you purchase a copy. If anyone has any objections to its use, please let me know]  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daves-disney-view/message

Comedian and podcaster Tim Babb returns to join Team Mousetalgia this week to discuss Disneyland's new no-parking-on-Main-Street rule, and general queuing etiquette. When is it okay to save places in lines for parades and attractions? As the parks get more crowded, are there unspoken rules that guests should follow? We weigh the pros and cons of hopping in and out of lines. Plus, we stay on top of recent listener email, with topics including making magic for others in the parks (pin-giving vs. pin-trading); attending Disneyland during Grad Nite - is it a potential pitfall, or just another day?; and helping a Walt Disney World pro make the most of an early summer trip to Disneyland. Next, we offer the top three attractions we'd each like to see receive a holiday overlay (a Halloween grand circle ghost train tour, anyone?) Also, we share our Disney secret tips, including methods for travelers with children to get to Disneyland from the airport without a child's car seat; Walt Disney's own chili recipe; and tips for finding hotels near the Disneyland Resort.
