Pirates Lair On Tom Sawyer Island Reopens

Posted: June 24, 2017

Rafts were making the journey with visitors again from the mainland at Disneyland to Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island. The island was closed in early 2016 as the park worked on shortening the route for the Rivers of America in Frontierland to make room for the 14-acre "Star Wars" land project. In May of 2017, the river was refilled with water, and final preparation began to reopen the island. With work complete, Disneyland opened it Friday, June 16, including a visit by Captain Jack Sparrow. Much of the attractions on the island remain the same including "Dead Man's

Much of the Disneyverse is craftily constructed around clocks and the nature of time, and a fan only need dip into a song, or story, to find references to the meaning, and passage, of hours and minutes. From the stroke of midnight in "Cinderella" to Cogsworth the clock of "Beauty and the Beast" to "Step in Time" from "Mary Poppins" to the beloved doll clock at It's a Small World at Disneyland, tick-tockery weaves throughout the Disney-style wonder. But when a number of beloved and historical attractions shuttered at the Anaheim theme park in January 2016, all to give "Star Wars"

Could Slightly Lower Attendance Be A Good Thing

Posted: June 17, 2017

Is Disneyland's attendance falling? And if it did, would that be a bad thing? The theme park industry's annual attendance report came out last week, and it reported a nearly 2 percent attendance drop for Disneyland and nearly 1 percent decline at Disney California Adventure in 2016. That might seem hard to believe for many Disneyland fans that spent the past year crammed in pathways around Fantasy Faire or the Matterhorn on a Friday night. But remember that Disneyland was coming off the wildly popular Diamond Celebration last year. And, the closure of Big Thunder Trail, the

If you were in Disneyland Park on May 27, 1977, you A) might have been sporting culottes, tube socks, feathered bangs, or one of the other awesome looks from the time and B) you might have been talking about the opening of "Star Wars," which had only been out for 48 hours and C) you surely were imploring your pals to ride the brand-new, outta-sight Space Mountain.

It is often referred to as the happiest place on earth, but these Disney Resort employees might argue that isn't always the case. In a new thread on secret sharing app Whisper, people claiming to be Disneyland employees have been revealing behind-the-scenes secrets of the world's best loved theme park. Making use of the app's anonymity the employees, both past and present, spared no detail of the park's inner-workings. Many of the confessions came from characters who told how acting in a non-fairytale appropriate fashion - like cursing fellow characters or drug use - swiftly resulted in a one-way ticket out of the park. "I work at Disney World and every day before my shift I drink liquor to help make me more cheerful for the children," revealed one staff member. In other cases the employee's dismissal seemed less reasonable, with people claiming to have been fired for gaining weight or for refusing to serve
