Hear about his experiences as a principal designer on Toontown, the ingenious ways he transformed budget constraints into creative triumphs on the Roger Rabbit ride, and how he left his mark on each project he touched. Marcelo's journey serves as a testament to the power of determination, creativity, and love for one's craft in the face of adversities.As we steer the conversation towards the latter part of his career, Marcelo shares his thoughts on Roger Rabbit's significance in the animation industry, and his decision to leave the world of animation.

http://www.attractionchecklist.com -   Let's head to Toontown in Disneyland to check out the west coast version of Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway. Attraction audio recorded on July 31, 2023. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. This episode we are visiting the newly reimagined Toontown at Disneyland to ride Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway. There are no age or height requirements for this attraction and  the Disneyland website describes it by saying, “Zoom off on a wild and wacky adventure through Mickey and Minnie's madcap cartoon world.”  The Thrill Level describes this attraction as being Dark, Loud and Slow. Before we present our tickets at the El CapiTOON Theater, here are 5 fast facts about Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway. 1.  On April 19, 2019, Disney announced that Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway would open at Disneyland Park in 2022.  Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway officially opened at Disneyland on January 27, 2023. 2. Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway is a copy of the attraction of the same name at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World, but the queue are is different. At Disneyland guests enter the attraction through the El CapiTOON Theater in Toontown. On display is a collection of “props” from Mickey Mouse cartoons called “Mickey Through The Ears.” 3. The popcorn seen in the queue's faux concession stand is shaped like Mickey, Minnie & Donald. 4. Minnie Mouse's voice actor Russi Taylor passed away after recording her lines for this attraction.  The song Nothing Can Stop Us Now, featured in the attraction, was dedicated to her memory.  5. During the construction of Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, Toontoown at Disneyland got a refresh including new faux hills that line the back of all the buildings of Toontown. Let's head to the theater to experience Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway.  Joining me for the ride is John B. deHaas.  Hang out after the ride audio to hear what we thought of this Disneyland version of the attraction.  These are binaural recordings so if you have headphone put them on now as we experience Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway at Disneyland.

Disney fans rejoice! On this episode, we're traveling back to 1991 to discuss an eight month event at Disneyland that people have varying opinions on. If you grew up in the ‘80s or ‘90s, you probably loved it. If you were an adult at the time, there's a good chance you thought it was cheap and tacky. I'm speaking of Afternoon Avenue, which was a sort of precursor to Mickey's Toontown, featuring characters that were particularly popular to kids at the time. Characters like Scrooge McDuck, Gruffi Gummi, Gadget, Baloo and so many more were all featured in this temporary land. Joining me to discuss is Modern Mouse Josh who actually got to experience Afternoon Avenue when he was a kid visiting Disneyland. Although I didn't get to personally experience it at the time, I did get a taste of it when Disneyland recreated it somewhat at Disneyland After Dark: 90s Nite. That and so much more in this episode.

We chronicle all of this, but we also talk about other fantastic events happening. Rogers the Musical is really worth seeing, and San Fransokyo is well underway.

Pre-pod Patreon-only: Wouldn't it be great if it was Indy 500 instead of Indy 5? Who's in Extraction? Chris "The Dentist" Hemsworth. This week, Steven messes up the opening of the show for once. This episode contains: We're just loving life this episode. I don't know what it is about being 40. It sucks, is what it is. Ben burns the bottoms of his feet off at a water park.  Steven drove down and back from Disneyland to surprise his family. For real. Shout out to the Yub Nub Podcast and Tim Barnes! We got to have him back on. Mickey's Toontown has a new ride?!?! Sweet! Can we just throw money away to fix our problems? Or do we have to do hard work? Ben saw the musical Once at the SLORep. It was incredible! Happy birthday to Ben's wife! We're curious why you listen to this podcast! Let us know at sciencefactionpodcast@gmail.com This Week in Space: Galaxies are not scattered randomly across the universe. "The nearby universe" is one of our favorite phrases ever. "The epoch of reionization" would be a killer prog-metal album. Is the formation of life a consequence of the universe going to high entropy? Entropy is very misunderstood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxL2HoqLbyA  Cosmic web strands make Ben think of Orbitz: https://www.tastingtable.com/1185720/what-were-the-floating-balls-in-90s-soda-orbitz-made-from/  90s kids! What's up! Remember the Orbitz flavor Pineapple Banana Cherry Coconut? https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/06/230629173611.htm  I'm angry about the internet and I'm gonna talk about it: Reddit API changes are imminent. Here's what's happening to your favorite apps. Ben misses how great Reddit was. RIP Apollo. Some apps are surviving the Reddit-ocalypse. Shout out to Narwhal 2! Why do we need 3rd party apps for Reddit? Lack of features, mostly. Will Lemmy replace Reddit? "I replaced social media with micro-journaling for a year" by Struthless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFvdHfhVIsQ  When's the last time you searched for content on the web, instead of having it presented? If you write down small problems, most of them will not matter in 10 days. Do y'all have things that nag in your craw? Do they bug you after ten days? Ben's been writing a diary in the notes app, and he talks about intentionality. Kids should use Breath of the Wild rules to pick who gets which sword in a play fight. Should you listen to Ben about quitting social media? Does he even use social media? If you're concerned about where your attention is going, you have choice. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/06/reddit-api-changes-are-imminent-heres-whats-happening-to-your-favorite-apps/  Science Fiction: We're talking a lot about our upcoming Patreon-only High School playlists. How great is Limp Bizkit's Mission Impossible theme? Take A Look Around: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3UHMV3jrZk  Steven finally saw Across the Spiderverse! We do a full spoiler-filled review. How cool is it that the first half hour of Across the Spiderverse is the Gwen Stacy movie? Even without a lot of hip hop in Across the Spiderverse, the music is still amazing. Donald Glover's love of Spider Man was a big inspiration for Miles Morales. Steven and Ben saw Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny together. Spoilers ahead! The Temple of Doom was a silly film, which works for kids despite the rest of the film. Ben anticipated a different film from the trailer of Dial of Destiny. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has mostly incredible CGI.

Amy & Paul get animated and take a trip down to Toontown in 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit!

DisneylandForward is the plan to promote future ideas for the Disneyland Resort to the public and the government of Anaheim to start planning for the future. The biggest priority at the moment is to earn good will with the city to re-zone the parking areas around the resort to mixed use, which will allow Disney the option to do almost anything they can think of with the space. - https://www.micechat.com/286075-disneylandforward-explained-future-expansion/ A change to the reservation system at Disneyland took place this past week. Guests can now modify their reservations without the need to cancel the existing reservation first. This includes starting park and the date of the visit. Reservations are still required to be modified or canceled before midnight the day before to avoid a no-show. - https://www.micechat.com/356770-disneyland-update-floridas-loss-is-disneylands-gain/ With ToonTown just a few of months old at this point, some adjustments are happening. The Dreaming Tree is behind construction walls getting the uneven soil under the artificial grass sorted out. The Dreaming Tree branches are also getting some TLC after a lot of use from guests. Otherwise, there are a number of smaller projects happening around the land to get it back in tip-top shape! - https://www.micechat.com/356770-disneyland-update-floridas-loss-is-disneylands-gain/ In a sad bit of news, Fantasmic! will not be returning to Disneyland until after Labor Day at the earliest. In a statement, Disneyland said "We are taking this time to evaluate the show and explore opportunities to add new magic and touches for guests to enjoy." Guests who had booked dining packages will be notified and given alternative options. Disneyland also said "Teams are actively exploring alternate entertainment offerings for guests this summer and look forward to sharing more soon." - https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/05/20/disney-announces-extended-fantasmic-closure-and-changes-to-show/ - https://www.micechat.com/354214-shocking-news-disneylands-fantasmic-dragon-engulfed-in-flames/ Five of the children who were in the Halle Bailey Ariel reveal video were surprised at Disneyland last week. McKenzie, Madison, and Carter Manier, along with Mckenzie and Riley Fleming were enjoying the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique when Halle Bailey herself showed up! She then invited the group to the premiere of The Little Mermaid. In addition to the surprise, the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique has new Little Mermaid costumes for both princesses and princes. - https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/05/the-little-mermaid-star-halle-bailey-surprises-families-at-disneyland-with-ariel-makeover-movie-premiere/ The new Disney Vacation Club tower at the Disneyland Hotel has an official name! Joining the Fantasy, Frontier, and Adventure towers will be the Discovery Tower! In addition, Disney showed off concept art showing the new splash pad area next to the new pool themed to Steamboat Willie! - https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/05/21/disney-reveals-name-for-new-dvc-hotel-tower/ - https://www.instagram.com/reel/CscBA_npIcF/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading June is Black Music Month, with Downtown Disney set to celebrate all month long. During June, the Downtown Disney Live! stage will have different genres of music, including Jazz Fusion, Mid-Century Jazz, and Caribbean. There are currently 17 musical groups lined up to perform. The Hollywood Backlot Stage in Disney California Adventure will also feature performances from Midnight Hour, Finesse, and The Rythm & Blues Bothas. - https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/05/20/specialty-snacks-food-truck-and-more-coming-to-downtown-disney-soon/ - https://www.micechat.com/356770-disneyland-update-floridas-loss-is-disneylands-gain/ We know it isn't Disneyland-specific, but we had to mention the closing of the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser out in Florida. The Galactic Starcruiser was a 2-night experience that immersed guests into the world of Star Wars in a cruise-like atmosphere. The experience was criticized for being too expensive and not broadly appealing. Some of the interactive elements that were originally planned for Star Wars Galaxy's Edge were taken and implemented in this experience instead. Hopefully, this means that some of the interactive characters, droids, and other experiences might come to the parks in the future. - https://www.micechat.com/356770-disneyland-update-floridas-loss-is-disneylands-gain/ - https://www.micechat.com/356770-disneyland-update-floridas-loss-is-disneylands-gain/ There are some big changes at the Walt Disney Company. The planned move of Imagineering to a new Lake Nona campus in Florida has been canceled. There are a number of possibilities for why this move was canceled, with Disney stating "Given the considerable changes that have occurred since the announcement of this project, including new leadership and changing business conditions, we have decided not to move forward with construction of the campus." - https://www.micechat.com/356770-disneyland-update-floridas-loss-is-disneylands-gain/

ABOUT JOE LANZISERO: Joe's Profile: linkedin.com/in/joelanziseroEmail: jlmonkeyfez@gmail.comTwitter: joe_lanzisero Website: lanziserocreative.comInstagram: @joelanziseroBIO:JOE LANZISERO Former Creative Executive, Senior Vice President, Hong Kong Disneyland & Disney Cruise Line Portfolios Walt Disney Imagineering, Current Creative and UX Consultant, and Executive Vice President & Creative Director Zeitgeist Design and Production Joe Lanzisero served as the senior creative executive in charge of projects for Walt Disney Imagineering across multiple platforms in the company's cruise, theme park, hotel & resort, restaurant and retail business lines. With more than three decades of Disney experience, Joe worked with teams of artists, writers, architects and engineers, he serves as the eyes and artistic conscience of a project from conception through completion. Joe was responsible for the creative development of the two newest ships for the Disney Cruise Line, and oversaw the teams that designed these new state-of-the-art ships (Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy) which launched in 2011 and 2012 respectively. Many features such as the innovative dinner show “Animation Magic” and the inclusion of an onboard water coaster (the AquaDuck) are cruise industry firsts. At Hong Kong Disneyland, Joe oversaw the expansion of the park by more than 20 percent over a three-year period. The additions of three new lands – Toy Story Land, Grizzly Gulch and most recently, Mystic Point, adds more excitement and fun for guests of all ages. Lanzisero began his Disney career in 1979 in Feature Animation (now Walt Disney Animation Studios), working on the animation, special effects, storyboarding and story development of numerous features, shorts and special project. He came to Imagineering in 1987 as a concept designer and was on the design teams for Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park at Walt Disney World, Critter Country at Disneyland, and Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris. In 1991, Lanzisero was promoted to senior concept designer and immediately plunged into the development of Mickey's Toontown, the wacky cartoon “community” that opened at Disneyland Park in 1993. He also developed the concept for Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, a wild and funny dark ride that opened in Mickey's Toontown the following year. Lanzisero also supervised the concept design for the Tokyo Disneyland version of Toontown that opened in 1996. Before joining the Tokyo Disneyland project team in 1999, he developed the concept for Fantasia Gardens and Winter Summerland, a pair of unique miniature golf courses at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Another new venture, Disney Cruise Line, benefited from his work on children's spaces and activities. And he was behind the 12/10/2013 conceptual design and development of DisneyFest, a unique Disney entertainment venue that traveled throughout the Far East and South America. In 2001 Joe was promoted to creative vice president for Tokyo Disney Resort, charged with overseeing all design in Tokyo. For Tokyo Disney Resort, he worked on such attractions as Pooh's Hunny Hunt, Toontown, Critter Country and Splash Mountain. He did the concept development for Mermaid Lagoon and Arabian Coast in Tokyo DisneySea as well as many other projects. He directed the creative development of Tower of Terror attraction and Monsters, Inc. Ride and Go Seek.In March 2007, Joe was promoted to creative senior vice president with the added responsibilities of overseeing all design for Hong Kong Disneyland, including leading the design of a major three-land expansion of the park. A member of the first graduating class of the Walt Disney Character Animation program at California Institute of the Arts in 1979, Lanzisero developed his artistic talents with old-time Disney professionals. He applied his education as a teacher at the Otis Art Institute and in the animation industry before joining The Walt Disney Company. Currently Joe is a consultant to the Themed Entertainment, Cruise, Museum and Hospitality industries with a portfolio of ongoing international and domestic projects in various stages of design and production. Joe is also actively involved in the UX world and is a sought after speaker in this sector. He has been the Keynote Speaker at the World Usability Congress in Graz Austria and has spoken and consulted on UX to major companies like Macys and Silicon Valley startups. He is also currently Executive Vice President and Creative Director for Zeitgeist Design and Production. Zeitgeist currently has a roster of international and domestic projects. Domestically they are working on high profile museum projects. Internationally they are the creative development team exclusive to Chimelong Resorts in Guangzhou China. Joe is full-time consultant working for visionary clients all over the world. He welcomes the chance to learn more about your big idea and explore ways he might serve you.  SHOW INTRO:Welcome to the NXTLVL Experience Design podcast. Over our 4 seasons we have focused on “Dialogues on DATA: Design Architecture, Technology and the Arts”. NXTLVL features provocateurs for whom disruption and transformation are a way of engaging in work and play every day.Theyinclude thought leaders who are driven by curiosity, a passion to create the ‘New Possible' and a mindset of promoting new paradigms of experiences.  They include leading scientists, artists, musicians, architects, entertainers and story tellers whose research, exploration and built work brings new understanding of the impact and relevance of place-making to the world. On the show, we focus on what's now and what's next.*          *          *          *          *          *          *In this episode we talk about storytelling with a master, Joe Lanzisero former SVP at Walt Disney Imagineering.We'll get to our conversation in a minute but first a few thoughts on why I love this topic:*          *          *          *          *          *          *Stories are powerful. They are among the engines of culture and we have relied on sharing them for millennia as part of our human socio-cultural and spiritual development. We stamped out narratives around tribal fires, shared them on trade routes and built public squares combining commerce and culture through the need to share life experiences with storytelling.Stories are also crucial to our empathic development, as well as providing context to our lives. And stories can also act as path to follow for designers that provides a reference point for design decisions guiding massing or volumes, layouts, use of materials, geometries and other aesthetic choices. Story can be used as a tool to determine the sequence of a brand's signature moments and experiences along a customer journey. The best stories are easy to remember because they paint pictures in our minds that tap into our deep feelings. Because they often create emotional responses and evoke strong visualizations, they play into our long history of communicating through pictures. In many ways, stories are the framework by which we remember things.While the core components of good storytelling may be the same as they have been for years. In fact Joseph Campbell asserted in his book “A hero With A Thousand Faces,” that there was really only one story, a structure that was reinterpreted across time and cultures. The super interesting feature of our brains and stories is that while reading, listening to or watching stories unfold on screen, we develop elaborate mental representations of the situations described in the text, lyrics or scenes. Researchers have gathered evidence through fMRI scans of individuals reading narratives that “the neural responses to particular types of changes in the stories occurred in the vicinity of regions that increase in activity when viewing similar changes, or when carrying out similar activities in the real world.” (see: Reading Stories Activates Neural Representations of Visual and Motor Experiences, Nicole K. Speer, Jeremy R. Reynolds, Khena M. Swallow and M. Zacks, Psychological Science, Volume 20 – No.8, 2009). In other words, as subjects read about characters in a story, their brains react in a manner that is similar to them personally experiencing those characters' situations. Studies by Brian Pulvermüller (see: Pulvermüller F. Brain Mechanisms Linking Language and Action. Nature Reviews Neuroscience. 2005;6:576–582) have demonstrated that brain regions involved in reading action words (verbs) are some of the same regions involved in performing analogous actions in the real world. So, if you read the word “throw” or “catch”, brain regions light up in fMRI scans that are activated when moving one's arm or hands.When engaging with story, our brains react to words as if we're experiencing the story in the real world. Cognitive scientist Roger C. Schank explains that - “Humans are not ideally set up to understand logic; they're ideally set up to understand stories.” I've been fascinated with story for years. Stories were a crucial part of bedtime rituals with my sons when they were young. We were deeply connected to the value of story and their ability to communicate ideas, morals and values. When my older son was very young, he loved stories and asked my wife to read two stories at the same time so that he could introduce the characters from one narrative to those in another book. “no mommy,” he explained “turn dis book towards de other so the characters can see each other too…”So this is where my guest comes into the narrative…JOE LANZISERO is the Former Creative Executive, Senior Vice President, Hong Kong Disneyland & Disney Cruise Line Portfolios Walt Disney Imagineering.

There have been a couple of big updates happening over in Disneyland recently, mainly the Toontown redesign and the Plussing of Indiana Jones - two things that really needed an Imagineering shower! On today's show, we take you through each attraction (if you can call Toontown an attraction), and cover what's changed, how it looks, and how we feel about it. Erik gives us an update on the Florida Happenings with regards to Reedy Creek and how Disney is trying to thwart Florida Man. Then to the sad bit ... it's Bev's last show with EarzUp!, and we're all pretty broken up about it. ByeBye Bev! ---------------- Support the show!

The biggest issue is just all the guests who want to be in the new land and experience all of the changes. It is still a rather small area, so even a modest amount of guests can make the area feel overcrowded. Stroller parking is also an issue, with cast members constantly trying to rearrange them to provide more space. In CenTOONial Park, there is also a lot of wear an tear on the new structures. - https://www.micechat.com/351579-disneyland-news-avengers-campus-construction-splash-mountain-retheme-toontown/ Magic Keyholders can pick up a great piece of artwork celebrating the reopening of Toontown. The artwork can be picked up on the Big Thunder Trail, just behind Big Thunder, and features Toontown with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto and more enjoying the newly renovated land. Mickey and Minnie are having a picnic while other characters play and enjoy the surrounding area. - https://www.micechat.com/351579-disneyland-news-avengers-campus-construction-splash-mountain-retheme-toontown/ There is something new coming to Avengers Campus soon!

More benches and tables have been shoowing up around the parks to allow for guests to have more places to sit and take in the atmosphere. When MiceChat spoke with park executives at the openeing of ToonTown, they said more was on the way, but there were still some delays due to supply chain issues. - https://www.micechat.com/351579-disneyland-news-avengers-campus-construction-splash-mountain-retheme-toontown/ With all of the promotions for Star Wars and the month of Star Wars in May, Hyperspace Mountain is returning.

Hungry Bear Restaurant is now offering this delicious treat for guests to purchase. A three pack is $4.99, the same price as at the Royal Street Veranda, the other location to get this treat! - https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/03/23/we-interrupt-your-scrolling-for-an-important-disney-mickey-beignet-update/ One of the most iconic Imagineers is getting their own Funko POP!

Mousetalgia Best Ear Ever No. 51: Eddy Collins, VIP stories from October 3, 2016 Contact us at comments@mousetalgia.com This week, Mousetalgia welcomes special guest Eddy Collins, who has spent decades with the Disney Company. Collins started doing custodial work at Disneyland and eventually became Global Sales Manager and a spokesperson for the resort. Eddy talks about his first job at the park as a sweeper, and how he quickly became a prestigious VIP tour guide, then moved to guest communications and management, and on to special events for the opening of Disney's California Adventure (after a run-in with the Disneyland Ambassador program and roles in TV/radio broadcasting). Eddy talks about managing Disneyland's international publicity, becoming the resort's Global Sales Manager, and the importance of a little pixie dust. Eddy also dusts off the plaid vest and takes us back in time to his days as a VIP tour guide, with stories about Ted Dansen and his family, Disney Legend Robin Williams, Ed McMahon, and of course, tales of touring with Michael Jackson (in and out of disguise). Plus, we discuss ways you can bring spooky Disney settings into your Halloween decorating - and more.

Continuing our popular “year” series, we look at DIsneyland as it was in 1993. Both of us were working there. Toontown was newly opened, Aladdin was making his presence known in a couple of places. The Skyway and Peoplemover were still there! We have authored two books: Cleaning The Kingdom: Insider Tales of Keeping Walt's Dream Spotless and Cleaning The Kingdom: Night, Day, Past and Present.   The Sweep Spot is an unofficial Disneyland podcast, with weekly episodes: a Topical Episode every two weeks, alternating with a Current Events Episode the other weeks.

The refreshed land greeted guests as a soft opening on Saturday after a media event, and then officially opened on Sunday. The newly reopened section has some of the same features that guests really liked in the already opened section for Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. There is a lot of grass, a new fountain for younger guests to play in, the dreaming tree, Goofy's How to Play yard which is fun for all ages, and more! - https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/03/mickeys-toontown-reopens-today-in-disneyland-park/ - https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/03/photos-video-full-daytime-tour-of-reimagined-mickeys-toontown-in-disneyland-park/ The atmosphere is great, but what about the new FOOD in Toontown? The Disney Food Blog ordered and tried everything in the new land and had some mixed results. For drinks, they liked the Picnic Time Watermelon Lemonade, with the Granny Goof's Garden Sweet Tea was their least favorite. For actual food, their favorite was the Spring Garden Wrap, with their least favorite being Daisy's Dressed-Up Dog. Overall, a good offering of food for younger guests. - https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/03/19/review-mickey-pizza-and-mini-donuts-disneys-newest-dining-spot-has-our-attention/ A new popcorn bucket has arrived at the El CapiTOON theater in Toontown.

Pete has been around in Disney animated cartoons since before Steamboat Willie, where he starred alongside Mickey Mouse himself as the captain of the steamboat that Mickey was working on. This is the first time Pete has been a meet and greet character in Toontown. - https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/03/photos-video-pete-appears-for-first-character-meet-and-greet-in-reimagined-mickeys-toontown/ One of our favorite attractions has returned from refurbishment! The Indiana Jones Adventure reopened last week with some much needed repairs and a couple of new surprises! First, the snake is back in operation, the projections used throughout are more vivid and sharp, and the boulder at the end is working again! In addition to this, there are a couple of updated scenes and effects before and where the old rat room scene was before the dart room near the end. - https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/03/breaking-imagineers-add-new-scenes-to-indiana-jones-adventure-at-disneyland/ - https://www.ocregister.com/2023/03/16/disneyland-cleans-every-skull-mummy-and-snake-in-indiana-jones-adventure-refurbishment/ Mickey's Philharmagic has reopened in Disney California Adventure with some updates from its recent refurbishment.

The existing structure has been painted "international orange" just like the Golden Gate Bridge in real life. The only thing remaining to be added is the towers and cabling to turn it into more of the suspension bridge look and feel from Big Hero 6. - https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/03/pacific-wharf-bridge-reopens-as-san-fransokyo-gate-transformation-continues-at-disney-california-adventure/ We had been worried that Star Wars Nite would not happen this year, which as we reported previously, is happening this year.

News: Bob Iger talked about the company and the parks during a question and answer session at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference. He emphasized that reducing crowds in the parks was important to improving the guest experience. It sounds like part of the process to help with that would be to add new capacity and attractions to serve more guests. – https://www.micechat.com/350274-disneyland-update-the-one-two-punch/ and https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/03/ceo-bob-iger-talks-disney-parks-guest-experience-rethinking-pricing-strategies-and-opportunities-to-add-more-attractions/ Spring Break season has descended upon the resort. This year, it has been very interesting to see the crowds because of the on again, off again weather changes. On the nice weather days, the parks feel like they are back to the pre-pandemic levels, then just a day later with rain, the parks seem deserted. Waits on the rainy days were mostly under 30 minutes – https://www.micechat.com/350274-disneyland-update-the-one-two-punch/ Nightly fireworks have returned to the resort for the higher crowds and spring break. Usually, the fireworks are only part of the show from Friday through Sunday. Now, they are performed every night, which is a wonderful way to see Wondrous Journeys. – https://www.micechat.com/350274-disneyland-update-the-one-two-punch/ Walt Disney Imagineering were at it again showing off some of the new technology that they have been working on at a Disney Parks presentation at South by Southwest. Some of the eye-catching things included a “life size” Tinker Bell. In addition, they demoed a small dynamic robot that could bring Judy Hopps to life, along with showing off the Hulk character that was in Avengers Campus in September. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/03/new-look-at-life-size-tinker-bell-for-disney-parks-meet-and-greet-may-still-debut/ and https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/03/video-disney-parks-shares-closer-look-at-life-size-tiny-tinker-bell-technology/ The rest of Toontown opens this weekend, but another smaller part of the land has opened. EngineEar Souvenirs has opened as the attached gift shop to Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. The new shop is very themed to trains, including a train that travels around the store above guest's heads. The shop carries a lot of Toontown and Runaway Railway attraction merchandise. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/03/10/disney-opened-a-new-store-today-come-check-it-out/ and https://www.micechat.com/349905-disneyland-toontown-merchandise-engineear-souvenirs/ St. Patrick's Day is this Friday and of course, Disneyland has some treats to help celebrate! Guests can pick up some shamrock-shaped rice crispy treats, green stuff at Red Rose Tavern, a cupcake and donut at Craftsman Grill at the Grand Californian Hotel, and a cocktail at the Hearthstone Lounge though March 19th. Downtown Disney also has an assortment of options for the holiday. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/03/full-list-of-st-patricks-day-2023-food-beverages-coming-to-disneyland-resort/ and https://www.micechat.com/350274-disneyland-update-the-one-two-punch/ Sunday, April 9th is Easter and that can mean only one thing: Handmade Chocolate Fudge Easter Eggs are back! Every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday until Easter, guests can pick up an egg for $12.99 at the Candy Palace. If you don't want that much sugar, you can just watch Cast Members make them in the window of Candy Palace. No word on the flavors for this year just yet. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/03/10/disneys-famous-chocolate-easter-eggs-are-back/ and https://www.micechat.com/350274-disneyland-update-the-one-two-punch/ Minnie has once again returned to welcome guests to Disneyland! The Mickey floral has been replaced by the Minnie floral for International Women's Day, which was on March 8th.

Disney fans rejoice! On this episode, I'm chatting with Imagineer Joe Lanzisero who was the Creative Director for Mickey's Toontown when it opened 30 years ago in 1993. Listen as Joe discusses what a joy it was to build an entirely new land for Walt's original theme park. Plus, Joe chats about how a Winnie the Pooh attraction was being designed for Mickey's Toontown, how The Muppets were being considered to become part of the land, and the very simple reason as to why Mickey's Toontown was created in the first place. We discuss that and so much more, so buckle up and enjoy as we rewind the clock to 1993 to discuss all things Mickey's Toontown.
