One of the things I love most about Disney Parks is the amount of creativity and ingenuity that goes into creating their attractions. The Disney Imagineers, designers of the rides and shows at the parks, are known for pushing the envelope on what can and cannot be done to improve guests’ experiences in terms of [...]
We all know the song. Most of us could sing it in our sleep. Some of us can even sing the version from another country. We hate it; we love it. But I dare say that no other theme song is more recognizable than the one that plays over… and over…. and over again… at [...]
In the fall of 2011, I posted about a Disneyland employee, Korin Rodriguez, who filed a class action lawsuit against Disney alleging Disneyland violated California law by not providing cast members with seats. Ms. Rodriguez recently voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit after Disney’s attorneys found some rather interesting evidence (which I’ll discuss a little later).
Recently, I got a chance to check out the new Fantasy Faire princess greeting area opening soon at Disneyland Park. Fantasy Faire was build right next to Sleeping Beauty Castle in the area formerly home to the Carnation Plaza Gardens. I shared my opinions of the area on a recent segment of the DIS Unplugged: [...]
On the news segment of the episode of the DIS Unplugged Disneyland Edition podcast, we were thrilled to bring you the announcement that the world-famous Roscoe’s House of Chicken N Waffles is opening a new location in Anaheim at 2110 S. Harbor Boulevard - just few blocks south of the Disneyland Resort (which sits at 1313 Harbor)! Since [...]
During the construction of the Storybook Land Canal Boat attraction at Disneyland, Walt Disney insisted leaded glass be used in the windows of the cottages. The model builder, who was looking for ways to cut costs, wanted to use regular glass and asked Walt, ”Who’ll know the difference?” Walt sternly replied, “I’ll know the difference.” In his book, Seen, Unseen [...]
We’re really getting deep into the planning of our May trip to Southern California and the Disneyland Resort. If you read the last installment of my Help! series, you’ll recall that my family travels to Walt Disney World several times a year, but this will be our first trip out west and we’re really looking [...]
For as long as I can remember, Disney Parks has held a themed promotion celebrating everything from the Magic Kingdom’s 25th anniversary (think “Pepto Bismol” pink castle) to the Year of a Million Dreams. More and more, park goers have come to expect unique offerings resulting from these promotions. Specialty merchandise, free treats, golden Fast [...]
Perhaps only Disney could settle a class action lawsuit, have no class members object to the settlement, but have the settlement approval process take over nine months. I’ve previously written about the class action lawsuit by visually impaired guests in a July 2011 post (after the judge certified it as a class action). I wrote again, in [...]
Very soon your favorite Disney Princesses will be getting a new home at Disneyland! Fantasy Faire opens in the former location of the Carnation Plaza Gardens on March 12th. Recently, The DIS was invited to take a peek behind the construction walls and below are some pictures from that tour. We also discussed the new area on the [...]
