This week, updates for an opening day attraction, Toy Story has taken over the resort, flick cards will be moving to yesterland, a Disney Legend to receive an Oscar, we talk about my recent trip to Tokyo and more!

News: Disneyland's Autopia attraction is facing a strict state-mandated deadline to retire its gas-powered car fleet by February 1, 2027, or face being shut down. This comes after Honda discovered an administrative engine certification error in 2023, resulting in a 2024 environmental violation notice and a financial settlement for Disney. While the compliance plan doesn't explicitly force electric vehicles, Disneyland officials have confirmed they are actively developing a fully electric car prototype to keep the 71-year-old ride running. – https://www.micechat.com/437247-disneyland-news-autopia-tinker-bell-construction/ To celebrate the release of Toy Story 5 this summer, Disney California Adventure is introducing rotating drawing lessons for characters like Woody, Buzz, and newcomer Lilypad at the Animation Academy. Additionally, starting in early July, Disneyland Resort hotel guests can exclusively enjoy the “Poolside Splash Bash,” featuring themed dance parties, trivia, and character appearances in new costumes. – http://laughingplace.com/disney-parks/celebrate-toy-story-5-new-lessons-disney-california-adventures-animation-academy/ https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disney-poolside-splash-bash-toy-story-5/ Disney Parks has officially retired FLIK, the wait-time tracking system that helped measure attraction queue times for more than 25 years. Introduced in 1999, FLIK relied on guests carrying red tracking cards through attraction lines, with the final installation recently removed from Goofy's Sky School at Disney California Adventure. Disney now uses newer technologies, including MagicBand data and sensors, to monitor and post attraction wait times more accurately. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/flik-ends-disney-parks/ Construction walls have recently come down around a new two-story Downtown Disney building, signaling that the ground-floor Earl of Sandwich and upstairs Gordon Ramsay restaurant, The Carnaby, are nearing completion. Meanwhile, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters has officially reopened following a refurbishment that updated its exterior with a retro 1967 Tomorrowland color scheme. Although official opening dates for the new dining spots haven't been announced yet, both the restaurants and the refreshed ride represent major visual updates for the resort. – https://www.laughingplace.com/ https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/astro-blasters-new-colors-disneyland/ Guest falls down Tiana's Bayou Adventure – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2026/06/23/disney-guest-falls-down-50-foot-drop-on-tianas-bayou-adventure/ Disney Legend Floyd Norman will receive an Honorary Oscar at the 17th Annual Governors Awards on November 15, 2026.

What if the only thing standing between you and your “happily ever after” is the story you're telling yourself? Maybe you feel stuck, procrastinating on the book you've “meant to write for years,” struggling to show up consistently on social media, or second-guessing every move because you're afraid of failing publicly. Are you silently waiting for the perfect time, more confidence, or a clear guarantee before you take action? In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Jeffrey A. Barnes shares how surviving two life-threatening brain tumors forced him to stop waiting for “someday” and finally write the book he'd been talking about for over 20 years. That wake-up call turned into his bestselling books, “The Wisdom of Walt” and “Beyond the Wisdom of Walt,” which use Walt Disney's life, legacy, and the Disney parks as a framework for leadership, courage, and action. Jeff explains why the real difference between Walt Disney and everyone else wasn't just vision or creativity; it was his relentless willingness to get off the park bench and take action despite doubt, fear, and criticism. Jeff unpacks Walt Disney's philosophy on sequels, creativity, and innovation, and what it means for modern creators who feel trapped by their own past success. From the rise of endless Disney sequels to the box office struggle of more original projects like Tomorrowland, Jeff explains the tension between giving audiences what they think they want and pushing forward into new territory. It's a powerful lens for any entrepreneur or brand wrestling with the question: “Do I keep repeating what's working, or do I risk something new?” https://youtu.be/OSz-MXZD6SU?si=Pffss8JQ1gk2zzYP Finally, Jeff shares a behind-the-scenes look at his new relationship-focused book with his wife, Lindsey, “Nothing Can Stop Us Now: Timeless Tips for Your Happily Ever After,” which uses Disney themes and stories to offer down-to-earth relationship advice. Along the way, he reminds us that “life is hard, enjoy it anyway”, and that happiness is a daily choice, not a distant outcome you'll reach “once everything finally works out.” If you've ever wanted to infuse your business, brand, or life with more Disney-level storytelling, courage, and joy, this episode will challenge you to stop overthinking, start acting, and become the hero of your own story. Quotes: “We can sit on the park bench and think ourselves into oblivion. We need to get up and start taking courageous and consistent action.” “The real difference between Walt Disney and everybody else was his willingness and his courage to take action.” “What's required in a great story isn't a happily ever after ending, that's what we tend to chase. What's required in a great story is conflict, obstacle, adversity, difficulty.” Contact Details: Visit Jeffrey A. Barnes's Facebook Page Connect with Jeffrey A. Barnes on LinkedIn Explore Jeffrey A.

Looking for daily inspiration? Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning. Alyse Sklover is the Senior Manager of Events and Partnerships at ROLLER. Her career in the attractions industry began at The Walt Disney Company, where she worked in merchandise and entertainment in Tomorrowland before transitioning into the music industry. After studying at Rosen College of Hospitality Management, she returned to attractions at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, later joining IAAPA during the pandemic as the FEC and LBE liaison. Following a role with Escapology, she joined ROLLER, where she now focuses on events and community marketing initiatives that strengthen collaboration across the attractions industry. In this interview, Alyse talks about “nail it before you scale it,” collaboration as our power-up, and letting your guests be mad. Nail it before you scale it “Make sure that your focus really is on nailing it before you scale it.” Alyse emphasized that attractions often become so focused on creating memorable “wow” moments that they overlook the operational basics guests expect. Drawing from her experience at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, she explained that safety, cleanliness, and consistency must come before entertainment enhancements. She pointed out that no amount of “pixie dust” can overcome overflowing trash cans, unsafe walkways, or poor food quality. She also connected this philosophy to larger entertainment brands. While she admires the creativity and energy of many organizations, she believes the industry sometimes becomes overly focused on spectacle instead of operational fundamentals. Alyse argued that once a company reliably delivers on core expectations, the added entertainment elements become much more impactful. Collaboration as our power-up “Collaboration is my absolute favorite thing. And the power up for sure, it's what keeps this industry going.” Alyse described community marketing as a way to strengthen the already collaborative nature of the attractions industry. Rather than building competing platforms or sales-focused events, her goal is to make existing resources more accessible to operators who are often stretched thin. She discussed creating regional events, roundtables, and resource hubs that help operators connect, learn, and support one another. She believes attractions are unique because competitors openly share ideas, strategies, and best practices. Alyse shared a story about one roller skating operator willingly allowing another operator in the same state to copy her liability waiver because she simply wanted to help. She noted that poor experiences at one attraction can negatively impact perceptions of the entire industry, which motivates operators to collectively raise standards rather than protect information. Letting your guests be mad “Just let me be upset. I'm not mad at you. This is not your failure. You're trying to make it right, but just let me be upset.” Guest recovery is one of Alyse's biggest passions, and much of her philosophy was shaped during her time at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, where rocket launches could be scrubbed moments before liftoff. She explained that guests often traveled internationally and built entire vacations around launches, making those emotional disappointments incredibly difficult to recover from. Instead of immediately trying to “fix” emotions, she learned the importance of first allowing guests to feel disappointed and heard. Alyse also stressed the importance of empowering frontline employees to resolve issues quickly. Crew members were given tools and recovery options they could offer immediately without waiting for management approval. She believes silence and delays only escalate frustration, while empathy and decisive action build trust. In many cases, she argued that a well-handled recovery can create a more loyal guest than an experience where nothing went wrong at all.

Groovegsus - Pedro De La Rossa Birthday @ Zuco - 2026 05 by Groovegsus (Klangwerk Records)
Soaked at Epcot: Why a Rainy Day on the PeopleMover Became Our Favorite MemoryYou spend months planning a Disney trip. You think you have planned every detail, and you check the weather app like it's your job. But as every seasoned Disney fan knows, Central Florida has a mind of its own.Last month, I headed to Epcot with a few friends. The forecast called for "scattered showers," which in Disney terms usually means "it's going to pour for thirty minutes, then get really humid." But it ended up being one of the most memorable days we've ever had—all thanks to a sudden downpour.We were walking through the World Showcase, debating where to go next. Within minutes, the Central Florida humidity broke, and the skies opened up.We weren't prepared. We didn't have ponchos. Our shoes were instantly soaked. Most people started sprinting toward the resort buses and the Monorail, abandoning their plans. But we looked at each other, dripping wet, and decided to lean into the chaos.We made a mad dash—not to the exit, but toward the park train. We figured that if we were going to be wet, we might as well be on a ride.We ended up hopping on the PeopleMover. If you've never experienced this ride during a torrential downpour, you are missing out on a top-tier Disney life hack. As the ride lifted us up and whisked us through the dark, quiet tunnels of Tomorrowland, the rain hammered against the roof of our carriage. It was loud, cozy, and completely surreal.Looking out over the park from the elevated track, the rain gave the park a shiny, cinematic glow. The neon lights of the Tomorrowland sign reflected off the puddles, and there was an eerie silence in the air that you just don't get on a sunny afternoon.Why the Rain Made It Better?We spent the next thirty minutes laughing until our sides hurt. We were shivering, our clothes were a mess, and we were officially done with "perfect" photos for the day. But that was the magic of it.When you're at Disney, there's this pressure to maximize every minute, to hit every ride, and to follow the schedule. When the rain hit, that pressure evaporated. We weren't worried about our next Lightning Lane or where to stand for the fireworks. We were just four friends, huddled together on a moving track, enjoying a moment of unplanned joy.If you find yourself caught in a sudden Florida storm, don't do what everyone else does—don't rush to the exit. Here is how to make the most of it:Embrace the Poncho : Grab a cheap poncho at the gift shop if you must, but don't let it ruin your outfit.Head for Indoor Attractions: Rides with long, indoor queues or dark rides (like The Seas with Nemo & Friends or Spaceship Earth) are your best friends during a storm.The "PeopleMover Strategy": If you're at Magic Kingdom, the PeopleMover is the ultimate rainy-day sanctuary. It's covered, it's relaxing, and it offers the best view of the storm-drenched park.Find a Table: Grab a coffee or a cocktail at an indoor lounge and wait it out. Some of our best conversations happened while huddled under umbrellas at a quick-service spot.The TakeawayThe irony of a Disney trip is that the things you plan for usually end up being a blur, but the things that go "wrong" become the stories you tell for years.Our soaked Epcot trip reminded us that Disney isn't just about the rides—it's about the people you're with. So, next time you see those dark clouds rolling in over the Geodesic Sphere, don't run for cover. Put your phone away, embrace the rain, and jump on the next ride you see. You might just have the best time of your life.

Tomorrowland is one of Europe's best-known festivals.Less known is that it quietly helped create one of Europe's most interesting corporate-startup matchmaking platforms.In this episode, Andreas Munk Holm speaks with Joris Beckers, Co-Founder of Love Tomorrow, and Mats Raes, Event Director of Love Tomorrow and The Impact Circle, about how a sustainability initiative evolved into an open innovation platform connecting startups, corporates, investors and public institutions.The conversation starts with a simple idea: Tomorrowland is not just a festival. It is a temporary city of more than 75,000 people per day, facing many of the same challenges as any major city, from energy and water to waste, mobility and logistics.That insight led to Love Tomorrow, Tomorrowland's official sustainability and innovation platform. As startups, corporates and public institutions increasingly began using the festival as a real-world testing ground for innovation, one challenge remained: connecting promising technologies with customers, deployment partners and smart capital.The result was The Impact Circle, Europe's exclusive innovation network for impactful entrepreneurship. Through challenge-led collaboration, curated startup selection and partnerships including the European Innovation Council's Corporate Partnership Programme, The Impact Circle brings together startups, corporates, investors and public institutions around shared innovation challenges.Joris and Mats explain how Tomorrowland became a stress test for innovation, why corporates increasingly engage as deployment partners rather than sponsors, and how The Impact Circle helps move innovation from pilot projects to real-world adoption.Key highlightsWhy Tomorrowland describes itself as a "hyper-compressed city"How Love Tomorrow evolved from a sustainability initiative into an open innovation platformWhy startups need real-world testing environmentsHow innovation is stress-tested in real-world conditionsWhy corporates increasingly act as deployment partnersThe role of venture clienting in startup growthWhy "smart capital" led to the creation of The Impact CircleThe Impact Circle's partnership with the European Innovation CouncilHow curated ecosystems improve innovation adoptionWhat investors, founders and corporates can expect from Love Tomorrow Summit and The Impact CircleTimestamps(00:00) Introduction(01:00) From Tomorrowland to Love Tomorrow(06:40) The "hyper-compressed city" thesis(11:00) Why startups need real-world testing environments(13:20) Why The Impact Circle was created(16:40) How The Impact Circle works(20:30) Venture clienting, corporates and startup deployment(23:20) Love Tomorrow Summit vs The Impact Circle(24:00) What makes Tomorrowland different from traditional conferences(26:20) Who should attend and why(28:30) Final thoughtsMore informationLove Tomorrow Summit takes place on 23 July 2026 at Tomorrowland's iconic grounds in Boom, Belgium.

A timeless EPCOT icon becomes the center of a modern debate about how communication continues to evolve in the age of AI. This week, Stephen reimagines the final act of Spaceship Earth, restoring its physical storytelling roots while introducing a new interactive layer that reflects how technology is reshaping human connection in real time.The result is a grounded, thoughtful update that stays true to the attraction's core thesis: bringing people closer together across distance, language, and time. From classic communication scenes to a carefully constrained AI-driven personalization system, the pitch explores what it means for Disney storytelling to remain human in an increasingly automated world.Plus, Brett of Ride Creator joins the Idiots live to pitch Mission to Mars…Needs Moms!, a chaotic crossover that combines the infamous Disney film with the classic Tomorrowland attraction in a way that somehow makes perfect sense.

'Geen foto's, geen video's.' Het klinkt als divagedrag, maar het is in feite het tegenovergestelde. Michiel Beers - samen met zijn broer Manu de eigenaar van Tomorrowland - loopt al meer dan twintig jaar op zijn eigen festival rond zonder dat bezoekers hem herkennen. Geen social media, geen interviews. Dat hij bereid was te verschijnen bij De Machine in Brussel op VI.BE conferentie Rendez-vous, was dan ook al een primeur op zich. Maar er was nieuws genoeg.

Regan and Chesko discuss a viral video of a woman recounting her husband's Disney World meltdown after their stroller went missing. We dig into the red flags, the privilege baked into acting that way without consequences, and the unexpected turn the conversation takes when the poster responds to commenters telling her to leave...revealing the early, fragile stages of recognizing you're in a bad situation. Plus a broader talk about rage-bait, internet pile-ons, and the responsibility creators and commenters share to leave space for the women who actually need to be heard.

Len Testa and Jim Hill break down a busy week in theme park news, from Bluey crowd control at Animal Kingdom to Universal's possible drone-show ambitions. Len also crunches the numbers on the best days to visit Magic Kingdom, because nothing says vacation like 22 million wait times and a spreadsheet with emotional damage. Then Jim digs into Disneyland's opening-day ticket scandal and why Walt Disney may have had very good reasons to sour on Western Publishing. NEWS • Disney's Animal Kingdom prepares for Bluey with a virtual queue and some serious toddler-capacity math. • Len explains why Sundays may be your best Magic Kingdom bet from January through July, while party season flips the calendar. • Disneyland's Autopia goes electric in 2027, raising questions about batteries, car design, and Tomorrowland's long-overdue tune-up. • Universal Orlando surveys guests about pets, which may hint at Secret Life of Pets possibilities in Florida. • A new Universal patent features an onboard animated figure, possibly a frog, possibly a nightmare with wheels. FEATURE • Jim revisits Disneyland's chaotic 1955 opening day and the mysterious flood of “legitimate” invitations. • The story points toward Western Publishing, one of Disneyland's earliest investors and official printers. • Walt's later decision to buy out Western may have had more behind it than simple business strategy. • Also discussed: C.V. Wood, Black Sunday, Bob Gurr, Richard Nixon, and why the Secret Service probably hated the monorail. For this episode's full show notes, click here.

Six Flags St. Louis updated and reinstated its chaperone policy following fights in the parking lot on opening day. The planned teen takeover brought roughly 100 juveniles to opening day, prompting fights around the park's 8 PM closing time. Guests 16 and under must now be accompanied by a 21-plus chaperone, with a max of 6 guests per chaperone, daily, all operating hours. ICON Park introduced a similar policy the same week. Scott and I break down the takeover trend, Scott's case that this is the first step toward the end of the family theme park, and the upstream question nobody is solving — why these kids are bored enough to organize fights at parks in the first place.Then: Walt Disney World set the earliest start date ever for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party — August 7, 2026 — with a 38-night run, MNSSHP tickets ranging $119 to $229, and almost no new content beyond a Stitch-hosted dance party in Tomorrowland. The calendar extension is the actual product, with Merlin's disclosure that October now accounts for roughly a fifth of its annual profit, serving as the supporting case for why everyone is leaning harder into the Halloween shoulder.Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

This week, Sent from Disneyland continues its mailbox tour with two more lost Disneyland mailboxes—and one modern postcard surprise. First, a 1976 Matterhorn postcard takes us to a forgotten Tomorrowland mailbox once located beneath the Skyway, Monorail, and PeopleMover. Then, a 1965 Frontierland postcard leads us to the mailbox hidden beside the Westward Ho Trading Company and its iconic wooden Indian photo spot. Finally, an incoming 2026 postcard featuring vintage stamps and a Sinatra quote ties today's mail magic back to Disneyland. Along the way: park history, extinct attractions, vintage stamps, and the stories written on the backs of postcards. Below are some of the regulars on Art Throw Down, Follow all of them on Instagram anyway for great art and postcards in your Instagram feed: Hipstadufus, luluvision, jlynch9923, greenmosspaper, georgemailsart, state_of_the_funyun, RussRomano2021
Tomorrowland is turning into Yesterland in front of our eyes and Disney has no plans to fix it. What if Tomorrowland didn't just get a refresh, but a full-on glow-up that makes it 10x cooler than it was in 1967? In this wildly creative conversation, we're spilling the most ambitious, jaw-dropping ways to completely revamp Tomorrowland at Disneyland. 68 Minutes.

The former FastPass distribution area has been converted into a seating area, with covered tables, and themed elements making it fit right in with the theming of the area. More seating is always a good thing, especially in Avengers Campus where shade is a premium. - https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/avengers-campus-disneyland-resort-expanded-seating/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXA_DMYkSsh/ A new art installation is being unveiled throughout the month in Downtown Disney to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Disneyland. Artists are asked to pick a Walt Disney quote and create a piece of art inspired by that quote. Each piece will represent one of the decades of the Disneyland Resort. So far, only the 50s through the 80s is represented, with more coming as more artists are adding to the collection through live art demonstrations. - https://www.micechat.com/434422-disneyland-update-crowds-closures-corporate-cutbacks/ It is a slightly bumpy start to Josh D'Amaro's tenure as Disney's new CEO. The company is planning on cutting up to 1,000 jobs, mostly in the marketing division, which was recently consolidated. It is likely that these cuts were already planned before D'Amaro took over from Bob Iger last month. - https://www.micechat.com/434422-disneyland-update-crowds-closures-corporate-cutbacks/ This past weekend, the first Disneyland After Dark: Disney Channel Nite was held at Disneyland.

Also new this year was an exhibit at the Starcade in Tomorrowland that featured Disney Channel artifacts from the Walt Disney Archives.
