The new concept art and blueprints give a glimpse into the layout of the area, and design of some of the guest areas, like the new Mickey “Ink and Paint” pool and interactive water feature. The lobby will be two stories tall and feature an open-air floor plan. The new tower is expected to take 4 years to complete, with opening as soon as 2023. – https://wdwnt.com/2020/07/new-artwork-and-blueprints-released-for-upcoming-12-story-disney-vacation-club-tower-at-disneyland-hotel-including-first-look-at-mickey-ink-paint-interactive-water-feature/ The Themed Entertainment Association released theme park attendance estimates for 2019 and it showed that theme park attendance at Disneyland and Walt Disney World is flat, despite the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The TEA doesn’t think that this is anything to be worried about as Disney shifts to providing a better experience to the guests attending and increasing their spending. – https://wdwnt.com/2020/07/disney-parks-attendance-flat-in-newly-released-2019-tea-aecom-theme-index/ When Disneyland does reopen and the Cast Members are welcomed back to the parks, the backstage areas will be 100% smoke-free. Smoking was removed from the guest sections of the parks last May, but this backstage removal is to help maintain social distancing in the sometimes cramped areas of backstage. Disney has also provided resources for Cast Members to stop smoking, if needed. – https://wdwnt.com/2020/07/disneyland-resort-announces-fully-smoke-free-backstage-areas-for-cast-members-ahead-of-reopening/ With the opening of Walt Disney World theme parks in Orlando, Florida, Disney has been able to see what works and what doesn’t in the parks in terms of safety measures required of guests. Some guests were finding loop holes in the policies, like walking around eating and drinking so they wouldn’t have to wear a mask, since that is allowed. They have closed that loop hole and now guests must eat and drink in place, while being socially distant. They have also tightened the types of masks that they accept. No bandanas or neck gaiters are allowed. PhotoPass photos taken with guests not wearing a mask are not available. – https://www.micechat.com/264693-disneyland-update-its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-progress/ All active Disneyland Resort Annual Passholders who have paid for their Passports in full will automatically have their Passport expiration date extended due to theme park closures to provide additional access opportunities at the end of the Passport term. The new expiration date will be reflected on the Annual Passholder’s Passport account prior to the reopening of the theme parks. As an alternative, and in lieu of an extension of their Passports, Passholders who have paid in full may choose to receive a partial refund for the theme park closure period. To request this alternative option, we ask that you contact Annual Passport Member Services at (714) 781-4567. We do anticipate heavy call volume and appreciate your patience as we answer all inquiries. Your Annual Passport should show a new date once the extension period has been determined. Please keep checking our updates as we will have more information to share soon. Discussion Topic: Our Merch Likes

There are many lessons to learn from Disney legend Jack Lindquist and his long career in marketing for the Disney theme parks. Today, we'll focus on how to create robust, diverse, "synergistic" marketing campaigns in a way that I hope would make Jack Lindquist proud.

Jack Lindquist is one of the Disney marketing legends. From Disney Dollars to Mickey in the Cornfield to a second inauguration for President Ronald Reagan, Mr. Lindquist was a visionary in marketing. What lessons can we learn from his tenure at Disney? Let’s talk about it!

11/28/16 - Michael Bowling begins his look at Disneyland of the 1990s, including the opening of Mickey’s Toontown and the premier of Fantasmic.

03/14/16 - Michael continues his celebration of Disneyland’s 60th with part one of Disneyland After Walt, a look at some of the events and changes that happened at Disneyland in the 1970s.

*Subscribe @ iTunes* Jack Lindquist was not only the first President of Disneyland, but one of the most important innovators of theme park marketing. This podcast is a tribute to the amazing spokesperson that the themed entertainment industry lost on February 28, 2016. Here's a recording of the 2013 IAAPA Disney Legends Panel, from Orlando, Florida. The presentation is based on the “Year of the Author.” It's moderated by Bob Rogers (BRC Imagination Arts), and sitting on the panel is Jack Lindquist (former President of Disneyland, Author of In Service to the Mouse), Marty Sklar (former Ambassador of Walt Disney Imagineering, Author of Dream It! Do It!), and Lee Cockerell (former Executive Vice President of Operations for Walt Disney World Resort, Author of Creating Magic and The Customer Rules). Not the best recording (since this audio was never meant to be published), but a wonderful and educational piece on the industry, the importance of leadership, and includes the quick wit of the late, great, Jack Lindquist.

Last week the Disney community lost Disney Legend, Jack Lindquist. In this episode we talk about a little bit about what he did for the Disney company during his 38-year career there and how we still see some of the things he worked on today. We also talk about the new tiered pricing for 1-day passes, a big change in Disney Infinity's yearly release schedule, Mad T Party is closing (again), the Egg-stravaganza is back and more.

In this episode, we discuss Disneyland's new pricing, Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters, and we remember and pay tribute to Disney Legend and first ever Disneyland President, Jack Lindquist.

There's nothing like a ticket price increase to get the Disney fan base stirred up. Make it "seasonal pricing" (or "tiered pricing" or "surge pricing"), however, and you'd better getting ready for major outrage. The price of single-day and multi-day tickets went up (for the most part) at all the Disney parks over the weekend, with single-day tickets now priced based on expected attendance. In a nutshell, you'll pay more to visit your favorite park on a busy day (say, summer or Christmastime) than you will during a quieter day (like an October weekday). What does it all mean and should you really be upset about it? Tim and Anthony sort it all out for you in this week's Inside The Mouse Castle. Here's what else we've got going on: At the Academy Awards Sunday, Pixar's Inside Out was the unsurprising, but highly deserving winner of the Best Animated Feature Oscar. In their acceptance speech, director Pete Docter and producer Jonas Rivera had inspiring words about the importance of "making stuff" in the face of adversity. Rest in peace, Jack Lindquist, who passed away Sunday at the age of 88. Jack was a marketing genius who became Disneyland's first president and, later, a Disney Legend. His memoir, In Service to the Mouse, should be required reading for every Disney fan. Our condolences to Jack's friends and family. He will be greatly missed. Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters will officially open at Disney California Adventure on March 7. Annual Passholders can get an exclusive preview of the ride on March 4. This looks like a very fun ride--and hopefully a more reliable replacement for Luigi's Flying Tires. Guests attending the Food & Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure in April can take part in special Beverage Seminars at Sonoma Terrace. Fifteen dollars will get you admission and three samples of select beers, wine or spirits. To purchase tickets, visit https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disney-california-adventure/food-and-wine-festival-beverage-seminars. Marvel superheroes and villains will take each other on in Marvel Battlegrounds, the new four-player play set for Disney Infinity 3.0. A modern-look Captain America comes with the set and new character figures Ant-Man, Vision and Black Panther will also be available. Purchase the set online or in stores on March 15. Today's parting question: Does the thought of an It's a Small World movie make you cringe as much as us? Thought so. Enjoy! www.TheMouseCastle.comRSS Feed: http://insidethemousecastle.libsyn.com/rss
