Disneyland Resort (DL, DLR, DCA) Discussion Thread

p. 393 - D23 announcement roundup for DL and DCA!

Recommended Posts

The Disneyland Resort has sent us a huge press release detailing a ton of incredible entertainment, decor and more in celebration of the resort's 60th anniversary!

 

The Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration begins Friday, May 22, 2015, celebrating 60 years of Disney magic with three new nighttime spectaculars, dazzling decor and an exciting sweepstakes that will award authentic diamonds and one-of-a-kind prizes to some lucky guests.

 

Nighttime will glitter as never before with three, sensational shows that expand the 60-year tradition of innovative and immersive storytelling: the brilliant, high-energy “Paint the Night” parade and “Disneyland Forever” fireworks spectacular at Disneyland Park, and the all-new “World of Color – Celebrate! The Wonderful World of Walt Disney” at Disney California Adventure Park. In “World of Color – Celebrate!,” Mickey Mouse and award-winning actor Neil Patrick Harris will tell the story of Walt Disney and the Happiest Place on Earth with film, animation, music and spectacular fountains.

 

The electrifying new shows will premiere during a 24-hour party that inaugurates the Diamond Celebration, from 6 a.m. Friday, May 22, until 6 a.m. Saturday, May 23, 2015, local time.*

 

Disneyland Diamond Days** – an exciting sweepstakes – will award daily and weekly prizes as part of the Diamond Celebration. Weekly prizes include a one-carat, authentic diamond, custom engraved for Disney, paired with a stay in the Disneyland Dream suite; a clear, crystal Cinderella slipper, with a diamond-and-topaz pendant, and private experiences in the park such as a party in Fantasyland or a romantic cruise aboard the Mark Twain Riverboat. The available prize will vary each week. Daily prizes also will be awarded during the Diamond Celebration, and each daily prize package for that day includes an individualized tour of the parks with dining, preferred access to select attractions, and VIP viewing at some of the dazzling, new nighttime spectaculars. Daily prize winners must be present on the Disneyland Resort premises at the time of entry and at the time of prize redemption in order to be able to enjoy these special experiences and theme park admission is not necessary to enter or win the sweepstakes.

 

In addition, Mickey Mouse and some of his friends will dress up for the celebration in sparkling, new Diamond Celebration costumes, and the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland and Carthay Circle Theatre in Disney California Adventure will glisten with gleaming veneer and diamond medallions. To add to the fun, Disneyland attractions undergoing regular refurbishments – Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan’s Flight and Matterhorn Bobsleds – will reopen with new magic added to the classic experiences.

 

Innovation Inspires Exciting Future

 

  • Walt Disney observed that Disneyland will never be complete so long as there is imagination left in the world, and since Opening Day, July 17, 1955, the Disneyland Resort tradition of innovation has continued, inspiring classic theme park attractions such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain, Star Tours, Soarin’ Over California, Toy Story Midway Mania and Radiator Springs Racers. The Diamond Celebration continues this tradition with three fantastic new shows that expand the boundaries of after-dark entertainment – Disney’s signature “kiss goodnight.”
     
  • “Paint the Night” parade – When the lights go down in Disneyland, the Diamond Celebration illuminates the park with a brilliant, new parade. The luminescent parade creates a river of color flowing down Main Street, U.S.A., with an array of Disney characters and more than 1.5 million brilliant LED lights that flash and glow as Mickey Mouse uses his vivid imagination to “Paint the Night.” With dazzling special effects, unforgettable music, energetic performances, fun surprises and spectacular floats, “Paint the Night” is more vibrant than any parade in 60 years at the Disneyland Resort. Even the choreography glows, as parade performers light up with their props and costumes. Tinker Bell leads the procession in a magical, musical overture, closely followed by a float reminiscent of the giant bass drum that led the “Main Street Electrical Parade.” Lightning McQueen races in with his buddy Mack Truck, who makes a hefty impression at 54-feet long, covered from headlights to tail pipe in gleaming light. Anna and Elsa from “Frozen” glide through the night in a shimmering palace of ice and snow. Guests also will be delighted to see Cinderella, Rapunzel and beloved characters from tales such as “Monsters, Inc.,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Toy Story,” with Mickey and his pals creating a breathtaking grand finale.
     
  • “Disneyland Forever” fireworks spectacular – The dazzling new fireworks show, “Disneyland Forever,” is a street-to-sky, immersive experience like nothing seen before at the Disneyland Resort. Guests will be surrounded by the worlds of timeless Disney tales, from the tips of their toes to the sky high above, thanks to the largest installation of projection mapping technology in a Disney park and surprising special effects. One minute they will be standing on Main Street, U.S.A., and the next they could be stampeding across Simba’s Pride Lands, dancing with King Louie from “The Jungle Book,” traveling “Under the Sea” with the Little Mermaid, flying over London with Peter Pan, dripping in honey with Pooh in a whimsical dream of heffalumps and woozles, or quivering as Queen Elsa brings a glimmering blanket of snow over Disneyland.
     
  • For the first time in Disneyland fireworks history, Nemo from the Disney●Pixar animated film “Finding Nemo,” will “just keep swimming” in the skies above Sleeping Beauty Castle, as the Matterhorn is transformed into the fiery peak of Mt. Wannahockaloogie, a special monument from that film. Two original songs enrich the show: the “Disneyland Forever” theme “Live the Magic,” and the inspiring closing song “Kiss Goodnight,” written by another Disney Legend, Richard M. Sherman, and sung by Ashley Brown, star of the Broadway production of “Mary Poppins.” The “stage” for “Disneyland Forever” fireworks will extend from the sky above to Main Street, U.S.A., “it’s a small world,” the Matterhorn and mist screens along the Rivers of America, offering guests a new experience from each location.
     
  • “World of Color – Celebrate! The Wonderful World of Walt Disney” – Award-winning actor Neil Patrick Harris will join Mickey Mouse on a magical water canvas to entertain guests in this fun-filled new presentation of the popular, nighttime “World of Color” spectacular in Disney California Adventure. Both epic and intimate in scope, “World of Color – Celebrate!” brings to life the remarkable story of Walt and The Happiest Place on Earth with animated imagery, live-action film, fountains, lasers, special effects and a stirring musical score. Guests will take an inspirational journey through the unparalleled imagination of Walt Disney, exploring his decades-long legacy of memorable animated moments around the world and the dream of Disneyland Park. “World of Color – Celebrate!” reminds guests that, if they never give up on their dreams, anything is possible.

 

Entertainment, Dining and Shopping Experiences Add to the Celebration

 

  • Live music has been a key component of the Disneyland Resort experience since the first performance of the Disneyland Band on July 17, 1955. During the Diamond Celebration, guests will be invited to become part of the musical magic, singing, dancing and marching along with resort performers such as the Disneyland Band, Dapper Dans, Red Car News Boys, Straw Hatters and Five & Dime. The after-dark “Mad T Party” will return to Disney California Adventure as a dazzling new “Diamond Mad T Party,” featuring sparkling new decor, interactive fun, dancing and delectable food and drink.
     
  • Restaurants and food carts in Disneyland and Disney California Adventure will offer new drinks and cupcakes specially created for the Diamond Celebration. Later this summer, drinks will be available in “Made with Magic” sippers which light up to accompany the new after-dark shows. Additional “Made with Magic” merchandise items – newly designed ear hats, wands and paint brushes – also will be available for the celebration.
     
  • More than 500 special merchandise items have been created for the Diamond Celebration, including apparel, accessories, art, collectibles, headwear, home décor, jewelry, pins, souvenirs, toys and more. They will be available at shops throughout Disneyland Resort, including Disney Showcase and Main Street Emporium in Disneyland, Elias & Co. in Disney California Adventure, World of Disney in the Downtown Disney District and more.

The prizes are pretty great looking!

 

However, with the Matterhorn, the only magic I was really hoping for was more comfortable seats. Also, it is a missed opportunity I think during these long refurbs, to not look at having one side go backwards. Imo, that would deliver a fresher ride experience than say a projection mapped effect.

 

Navigating the crowds between the night events will be quite interesting.

Here's the thing, turning a Matterhorn car backwards would likely result in injuries and lawsuits. Its not always as simple as turning a train around. With modern rides, like Batman, its easy cause its designed to be super smooth. But the Matterhorn has extremely jerky transitions and tons of fast tight turns; its not a smooth ride. And not being able to see where your'e going on this ride would likely result in injuries to peoples necks.

 

Disney tried this with their Indy coaster in Paris, and had to redesign several of the turns to accommodate the new trains going backwards. So I don't see this ever happening at Matterhorn.

...Disney tried this with their Indy coaster in Paris, and had to redesign several of the turns to accommodate the new trains going backwards.

 

And it still ran like crap when we went on it, back then. My neck always stiffened (actually my whole body stiffened) when I knew a turn or a drop was coming up. Very unpleasant ride.

 

So I agree, putting the Matterhorn cars backwards won't give riders any new 'sensations' except pain and frustration. It just wouldn't work with this one.

Ah very true. I would find it fascinating to see a water dummy go through the course of Matterhorn and see the end results. It is a bit on the rough side just normally.

 

Oddly enough, didn't see the SOC upgrade announcement in the blog post. Maybe they are saving any kind of attraction upgrade announcement to if/when the film changes to soaring over the world. I am looking forward to seeing the CA version in higher resolution in the meantime.

Tokyo DisneySea had to completely rebuild their version (Raging Spirits) to make it rideable.

So if the Hatbox Ghost is returning to the mansion after all of these years is another ghost leaving and can we throw a farewell party for the departing ghost? Or maybe they won't kick out a ghost and the 999 Happy Haunts will just be an even 1000, I'm cool with that the more happy haunts the better I suppose.

Apparently since Hatbox isn't returning but reappearing, he's been there the whole time as part of the 999 Happy Haunts.

Yeah, just assume he's been invisible the whole time.

He is a ghost so that is plausible....

 

^Blasphemy,I need someone to conduct an extensive study to verify the actually number of Happy Haunts inside the mansion.

 

Ya know, I'm sure if we search, there is some who who actually counted them all....lol.

 

Wikipedia...... haha List of Haunted Mansion Ghosts

 

The Wikipedia page also mentioned that the hatbox ghosts is supposed to be a "Pivitol figure in the story" in the upcoming Guillermo Del Toro Haunted Mansion movie, so that's cool.

Since Matterhorn is too rough to run backwards maybe it could be done on California Screamin?

I think they should turn Soarin' Over California backwards so that you're staring at a blank wall.

 

But seriously, folks, I've had enough of the "backwards" gimmick.

Seriously? Disney doesn't buy into gimmicks of this sort, and based on the design of the California Screamin' trains I doubt they could run backwards anyway. No existing Disney coaster that wasn't designed to go backwards is ever going to do so.

Please direct your attention to the following link:

Not to say that we'll be seeing Screamin' running backwards anytime soon, but just to say...there's a precedent.

LOL, and two pages later were right back to where we started with this backwards conversation. And I think its a good place to end it.

 

The Disney Parks Blog has some info on upcoming Cars Land Merch!

 

New Cars Land Merchandise Debuts at Disney California Adventure Park

posted on April 16th, 2015 by Michelle Harker, Manager, Merchandise Marketing & Communications, Disneyland Resort

 

Are you running on empty when it comes to something new to wear? Then take a spin with me as we take a look at some of the new Cars Land inspired merchandise hitting the streets of Disney California Adventure park.

clldlr293847.jpg.185ce6e08fbddbd5acac664dc98c63f4.jpg

When it came to the new look for the Cars Land logo merchandise, the teams took the term, ‘put some fire in it,’ quite literally. The flame details, along with the classic Cars Land logo on the adult and kids tees, hat and drinkware, adds heat to this red-hot collection. Not your speed? Gear for ladies and kids will have you racing to the finish line.

mgodlr281726.jpg.bf5464ba4f4eb0ba7d4cffb4aa52b900.jpg

Cruising for something different? The Motorama Girls collection debuting soon will surely get you back to your ‘routes’ and looking sassy and classy for any day trip. Va-Va-Vroom!

mhodlr293847.jpg.219a0eeecd03c033058dd3b11842a973.jpg

This next item will get those wheels turning! Last but certainly not least … the new Mater novelty hat! I can attest that as we were photographing the hat, kids of all ages (those adults who stopped me know exactly who they are) were asking where and when they could get it. Can you ‘tow the line’ when it hits stores in the coming months?

Be sure to make Radiator Springs Curios, Ramone’s House of Body Art and Sarge’s Surplus Hut in Cars Land a stop on your next trip!

Which collection is your favorite?

Hi All,

 

Quick question regarding: MATTERHORN BOBSLEDS

 

On the website it says that if you are in a wheel chair you join the standard queue and then you are directed to the appropriate entrance by a cast member.

 

Can any one tell me which platform point do you load & unload the cars at if you are in this situation. Is it through the normal gates? Or do you load in another area? i.e Unload or the Transfer Table Unload?

 

Thanks
