There are a TON of new animation effects in the different areas of the treehouse, and the lighting is gorgeous. Guest reaction to the rethemed attraction is positive, with long lines to go into the treehouse over the weekend. āĀ https://www.micechat.com/372513-disneyland-update-exciting-openings-maintenance-concerns-holiday-crush-pin-rules/ With the reopening of the Adventureland Treehouse, more Society of Adventurers and Explorers items have appeared in Adventureland. At the Tropical Hideaway, there are a couple new paddles with the names of SEA members on them. One of the paddles is Aya Kouame-Beauciel, who is the author of the note on the Daughter's desk in the treehouse. āĀ https://www.micechat.com/372513-disneyland-update-exciting-openings-maintenance-concerns-holiday-crush-pin-rules/ The old Downtown Disney stage has been taken down because the new stage is out from behind construction walls and ready for performances. The new stage has a rolling grass sitting area in front of it, surrounded by trees. The new stage is permanent, while the old stage was temporary. āĀ https://www.micechat.com/372513-disneyland-update-exciting-openings-maintenance-concerns-holiday-crush-pin-rules/ Over at the soon-to-be Pixar Place Hotel, the Great Maple Restaurant has an opening date! November 15th the location will open for walk-in dining and guests. Reservations will be open starting November 21st. The menu is also already online for guests to look at and plan for their first visit. āĀ https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/11/11/the-full-menu-has-been-released-for-disneys-new-great-maple-restaurant/ With the beginning of the holiday season, some more walls came down in Toontown. Out from construction walls is the fountain in the center of the land, and it is working! The fountain opened with Toontown earlier this year, but there were some issues that caused it to be reworked. āĀ https://www.micechat.com/372513-disneyland-update-exciting-openings-maintenance-concerns-holiday-crush-pin-rules/ As with anything that Disneyland celebrates, there is merchandise. Of course, the Festival of the Holidays is no different and there are a lot of items with this year's logo on them. Items include spirit jerseys, a blanket, ornaments, pins, and more. āĀ https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/11/full-list-with-prices-of-2023-festival-of-holidays-merchandise-at-disney-california-adventure/ A small addition that makes a big difference has finally been added to the newest land in Disney California Adventure. The Port of San Fransokyo sign that appeared in the earliest concept art for the area has arrived and looks amazing! āĀ https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/11/photos-port-of-san-fransokyo-sign-finally-installed-at-disney-california-adventure Not one, not two, but THREE new characters have arrived at Avenger's Campus! Carol Danvers, Kamala Khan, and Captain Monica Rambeau are making appearances in the land to celebrate the premiere of The Marvels, the newest Marvel movie that features the trio. They are going to be in the park for a limited time, so act soon if you want to catch them. āĀ https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/11/10/3-new-marvel-characters-are-coming-to-disneys-avengers-campus/ Some updates to one of the Disneyland policies will make some parkgoers happy, and others not so much. Pin trading rules have been updated to restrict professional traders from taking up all the sitting space in Frontierland. Traders are now limited to a table space and can bring only one case of pins to trade. āĀ https://disneyland.disney.go.com/faq/parks/pin-trading/ Goofy's how to play yard updates āĀ https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/11/photos-the-perfect-cast-and-more-goofy-movie-references-added-to-goofys-how-to-play-yard-at-disneyland/ Blue sky cellar to become DVC welcome center āĀ https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/11/blue-sky-cellar-becoming-dvc-welcome-center-at-disney-california-adventure/ Beast Library closing. āĀ https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/11/update-beasts-library-closing-next-month-to-become-new-disney-imagination-campus-location-at-disney-california-adventure/ Discussion Topic: Jocey's Adventures by Disney trip continued. āĀ https://www.adventuresbydisney.com/destinations/around-the-world/global-jet-adventures/ Shanghai Disney Store clock video- please put in show notes for trivia āĀ https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=YQH6k-xSK68 This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

News: Over at MiceChat, Dusty Sage was able to have a conversation with higher-up associated with Tiana's Bayou Adventure where he expressed his dismay at the focus on the search for a missing ingredient. If Dusty is right, there is a lot more going on with this attraction. Per his conversation, it is a sort of fake out for guests concealing the fact that they are doing a lot more with this attraction than has been announced. Massive set pieces are being installed to make this much more grand than the attraction that it is replacing. They are also spending a considerable amount on this project that they could have built an entirely new attraction. āĀ https://www.micechat.com/371000-disneyland-update-snowfall-pumpkins-missed-opportunities/ It is possible that by the time you listen to this, the Adventureland Treehouse could be open! All of the scaffolding has been removed and the construction tape is gone. The walls around the attraction seem to be the only thing holding back excited guests. āĀ https://www.micechat.com/371000-disneyland-update-snowfall-pumpkins-missed-opportunities/Ā https://www.micechat.com/371000-disneyland-update-snowfall-pumpkins-missed-opportunities/ The Paradise Pier Hotel will become the Pixar Place Hotel officially on January 30th, 2024. The new Luxo Lamp sculpture is yet to be installed, and the Great Maple restaurant is still under construction.

The CenTOONial Park is scheduled to reopen on October 30th, and then Goofy's How-to-Play Yard will close on the same day. Changes to this area are scheduled to wrap up and reopen to the public on November 10th. Hopefully, this will just leave Donald's Duck Pond having never been operating for guests. āĀ https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/10/17/one-disney-attraction-will-reopen-soon-but-another-will-close-the-same-day/ A fun new activity is coming to the Disneyland Resort this Halloween Season.

The scavenger hunt provides clues to find things in Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, and Downtown Disney. āĀ https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/10/try-our-new-disneyland-resort-halloween-scavenger-hunt-for-families/ Halloween is still about a week away, but Christmas is already moving in around the resort. Snow has started to fall on Sleeping Beauty Castle, resulting in the Disney100 decorations disappearing before the actual anniversary, lights are going up in the trees on Main Street, and New Orleans Square is starting to have its decorations installed.Ā āĀ https://www.micechat.com/371000-disneyland-update-snowfall-pumpkins-missed-opportunities/ Have you ever wanted to have breakfast with Santa?
