The Fantasmic 20th Anniversary Pass holder event features unique merchandise, park hours past midnight, an added 5 minute documentary before the show and some of the character cast gets together as the park closes at Main Street Station! No new changes to the show. It will still, as of Monday’s showing, be the same Fantasmic show. This is my dream! They added a post-show display. A jam packed event worthy of some of the busiest Summer Saturdays! These banners were scattered around New Orleans Square. 10 minutes of mmm, 2 hours of stomach ache. How about those Mickey sprinkles? Main Street at 12:50 AM It was an honor to have the great Princess Cinderella wave to me. My life ambitions [...]

From Erin Glover on the Disney Parks Blog:     If you’ve been to the Disneyland Resort in the past couple of days, you may have noticed a few new faces along the Disneyland Monorail line. Here to welcome their “Cars” friends to Cars Land at Disney California Adventure park, Mandy and Mona Monorails began making trips around the resort yesterday – and they will soon be joined by a third friend, Manny Monorail.

Adding to the massive list of new attractions and offerings coming to the Disneyland Resort on June 15th, something interesting appeared on the Disneyland calender. A new show Called Melody Time is taking place in Paradise Bay every hour 5 times a day from 11:00 to 4:00. PhineasTheHitchhikingGhost grabbed a pic before Disney pulled it down. It’s only a five minute show so that rules out an extensive stage show on the Palisades Stage. We are assuming it is a new daytime fountain show utilizing the World of Color fountains and may be taking tunes from the 1948 animated feature Melody Time.     While the show may just be using the name, we are not sure if the show [...]
