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.

One of the reasons that this didn't come to be was governmental regulations on use of drones in nighttime spectaculars. Regulations have decreased since then, which has resulted in drone shows at Disney Springs in Walt Disney World. Maybe drones will be in Disneyland's future as well. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2024/09/25/confirmed-disney-almost-used-drones-in-world-of-color/ The fountains at World of Color have been getting some TLC to keep the show in tip-top shape.

Welcome to Episode 3 in Season 2 of The People It Takes! In this weeks episode, our host, Lauryn, sits down at Disneyland Resort's newest Resort Hotel, Pixar Place, with former cast member, current content creator, Erick, also known as “BeastlyAppetite” or “MrBeastly”. Before becoming a familiar face on social media, Erick was a cast member at DLR with a wide range of jobs within his role. Ericks role allowed him to make magic on stage, as well as behind the scenes. Erick went from working in the parks, to being hosted by the company to attend special events at the parks and creates a different kind of magic for Disney lovers all over through his content creation. Erick is a great example of who Walt would have wanted as one of The People It Takes to make his dreams a reality. We hope you enjoy this episode and we are SO happy you're here. ALL opinions and experiences are our own, l, as well as my guests, do not speak on behalf of The Walt Disney Company in any way.

ParkMagic Podcast: Insider Tips To Plan Your Disneyland Adventure
Trying to decide if it is worth the extra cost to stay at the Disneyland Hotel, Pixar Place, or The Grand Californian Hotel and Spa? Celina and Robyn share the benefits of staying on versus off property at the Disneyland Resort. Celina will share the reasons why she loves staying at Disney-owned properties, and Robyn will share why she usually opts for off-property hotels. We discuss the perks and exclusive access that enhance the magic for on-site guests and share personal experiences that we have had over the years. Right now, our tools are just for Disneyland, but we hope to expand to other parks soon. Disney changes policies, prices, and shows often.

In an unexpected last minute turn of events, I ended up having the opportunity to visit the Disneyland Resort. My focus was on Disneyland Park as well as the Downtown Disney/Hotel District Area. We'll visit these locations to see what's new and what's happening here at "The Happiest Place on Earth". We'll look at new offerings such as Adventureland Treehouse, Pixar Place and Tiana's Palace. Speaking of Tiana, we look at its impact on the park as well as recent announcements of when Tiana's Bayou Adventure will arrive. We'll then look at entertainment happenings to include Mickey's Mix Magic and the incomparable Magic Happens. We'll also look at where Disneyland is in terms of receiving the permissions and authority to direct its own zoning in moving forward. Could Disneyland have a third theme park? We'll explore that and we'll finish up with some tips for how to make your Disneyland visit the best possible. __________________________________________________________ My new book, "A Century of Powerful Disney Insights" is available!

In the 152nd episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are all over the place! Jenn first reports on the status of her other podcast, "Divas Dish Diz", then the continued unpacking of the new home, while Dave finally got his Annual Pass, but also signed up for the Virtual 5K series this summer. And Jenn's haunted home, plus the dangers of credit cards over social media. The news kicks off with Fantasmic burning down... Edna Mode returning to Hollywood Studios... the Star Wars Starcruiser discounts to be had... the emergence of PickleBall at the parks... Animal Kingdom's time capsule They randomly take a sidebar to the tech and style of the 90s, where not to meet people in the parks, and some great ideas for character nights and meeting places at Animal Kingdom and Hollywood's Pixar Place. And the sad fate of Dave's Mr. T action figure. Finally, Dave and Jenn both give their takes on the "Worst" attractions, or at least attractions that land in the Bottom 5 in their rankings. From Jenn finding some attractions useless to Dave declaring some rides are taking up valuable space for good attractions... and why he'd never go see "Are You There God It's Me Margaret".
In the 112th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave say "Happy 4th Birthday to Andy's Backyard" aka, "Toy Story Land" in Hollywood Studios! Opened on June 30, 2018, it's a worthy addition to the classics in Hollywood! First, Jenn is getting ready for her sailing on the Wish, while Dave is eyeing a ghostly new Lego set, and then they chat about the latest news -- Splash Mountain's refurb gets a new name... Disney cancels, then uncancels a train... the Eat to the Beat lineup, and lamenting the lack of star power for Epcot's 40th... trying to figure out who Stokely is... why Jenn hates Hanson... and the Boutique returns! Plus, remembering The Backlot Tour, before doing a talk-through walkthrough of Toy Story Land, including taking a look at theming, Toy Story Mania, forgetting the game order, the old Pixar Place, Alien Swirling Saucers, Slinky Dog, and even a look at Toy Story Land in other parks around the world. And at the end, some breaking news that came in while recording -- Pooh, Tigger, Lilo, Stitch and more return to dining as three character meals are returning! Some big thanks to those who's contributions to the show have lasted 112 episodes, including Brady Novotny (theme music)... Johnathan Iverson, the Last Ringmaster (the opening voice)... Tim Dumais (news jingle and the old podcast themes)... Katrina Stone (the ending voice)... and Scott Cuzzo (the podcast logo)
An opening day attraction, The Backlot Tour delighted (or bored) guests at Hollywood Studios until it closed to make way for Galaxy's Edge. While it was originally intended to be an insider's look at the film industry, it never quite managed to live up to Disney's expectations. We're taking a deep look at this once classic attraction this week! Music by Colin Paul
Just over 30 years ago, April 30th, 1989, John Ritter introduced us to the concept of the Disney MGM Studios, a new theme park that was a fully functioning television and movie production studio providing you a peek behind the scenes at moviemaking magic where you could even be part of the action. If you're into Disney history, the 90-minute special is a must watch – You can catch the full episode here Walt Disney World celebrated the 30th anniversary of the opening for Disney Studios earlier this month. The festivities included a cavalcade of Disney characters on Hollywood Boulevard led by none other than Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Mickey and Minnie introduced us to the Disney Hollywood Studios new logo and limited time merchandise, food, and drinks commemorating the 30th Anniversary. It’s hard to believe that when the studios opened, MGM Studios was a half day park, a side trip from Epcot where you could learn how movies were made. Fast forward 30 years and Disney Hollywood Studios is about to become the epicenter of Walt Disney World. With the opening of Star Wars Galaxy Edge this August, the 14 acre immersive land will be followed by Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad in early 2020 completing the park-wide transformation that includes Toy Story Land, Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy, An Incredible Celebration on Pixar Place, and Disney Junior Dance Party and open for summer 2019! For the park’s 30th Anniversary celebration, Disney announced the addition of a table service restaurant, Roundup Rodeo BBQ, in Toy Story Land and an array of Toy Story 4 pop-up merchandise locations. The evening finished with the premiere of “Wonderful World of Animation”, the all-new projection show in Center Stage. Projected onto the Chinese Theater, the show chronicles the journey through 90 years of Disney and Pixar animations and includes blasts from the past and rarely seen characters as well as new favorites and classic stories. The show replaces the “Movie Magic” projection show, which you can find in SamsDisneydairy Episode #99 – The Wonderful World of Animation will lead to the always popular “Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular”.
For years now we have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge. It is pegged to be a truly revolutionary land and will bring in attractions, atmosphere and technologies that will launch a new era in theme parks. While we are only months away from the opening of the land in Disneyland and a little bit further away from the opening in Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World, we are still unaware of most of the things that will be in the land. So that’s what we wanted to do here today. Discuss everything that we know so far, including some details WDW Opinion has stumbled across that haven’t made their rounds to the general public yet. Just like the films that inspired this land we anticipate having multiple “episodes” of the podcast that discuss further details in the months to come. That’s why we are calling this segment Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Episode I: What We Know So Far. Let’s go to Black Spire Outpost today on WDW Opinion. Plus we discuss new details about the “incredible celebration” coming to Pixar Place, Google has an “its a small world” like ride at the CES tech conference and we share the New Years Eve experience of one listener at the Magic Kingdom.

In this episode of My Disney Class Podcast, Ryan and Howie are doing a little Disney dreaming and sharing what they are looking forward to in 2019 and beyond. If you haven’t visited Walt Disney World recently, then there’s even more for you to explore and experience than ever before with much much more to come. There is the giant elephant in the room that is Galaxy’s edge the new Star Wars land coming to Hollywood studios. This new land promises to be the dream every Star Wars fan has been waiting for and the level of interaction between the land and its guests promises to be one like we have never seen before. Let’s just say, Ryan and Howie, can’t wait! We also talk about several other attractions coming to Hollywood Studios, including Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway and Pixar Place being transformed into Municiberg city block from the Incredibles.

We also talk about some of the other changes coming to some of the other parks including Guardians of the Galaxy at EPCOT, Ratatouille: The Adventure, Tron Lightcycle Power Run and many more. We hope you enjoy this episode as we look to the future and reflect on the past. Here’s to a magical and fantastic 2019!
