My brother, David, has joined me as we walked the attendees through the wonderful life we had growing up in a celebrity family and Disneyland.

A little sign over the door just inside Oga 's Cantina tells us a lot about how many people can fit in the new Disneyland bar and how much money the Star Wars: Galaxy 's Edge watering hole is raking in every day.
The posted maximum occupancy for the wretched hive of scum and villainy in new Star Wars land at the Anaheim theme park is 276 people.
That means Oga 's Cantina could be raking in nearly $200,000 per day and stands to haul in as much

What on Earth is happening this summer at Disneyland?
I've lost count of the number of people who have asked, emailed, or messaged me that question over the past couple of weeks. With its new Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge land, Disneyland braced itself for record-setting crowds by raising ticket and annual pass prices and remaking pathways around the park to both reduce the size and improve the flow of crowds.
But they never came.

Ryan Hatmaker desperately wanted to be picked for the Disneyland All-American College Band.
He had long dreamed of working at Disneyland, where his parents met while performing in a show and where his grandparents, aunts and uncles once held jobs.
“Everything they do adds a little magic to it,” he said.
But Disney officials at last spring 's audition threw a curve to Hatmaker, a Grand Canyon University junior snare drum player in

The Disneyland Resort announced earlier this year that it would be moving its annual hard-ticket Halloween party back across the esplanade to Disney California Adventure this fall. But with the new Oogie Boogie Bash running over there, what would happen to the Halloween Screams fireworks show that used to play exclusively at Mickey's Halloween Party?
Well, Disney answered that question today. Rather than mothballing the show, Disneyland will be playing

There have been a bunch of different parades at Disney theme parks over the years, but one looms above all others. The Main Street Electrical Parade, which first ran at Disneyland in 1972, is the theme park parade by which all others are measured-for better and worse. The legendary spectacle celebrates some of Disney 's most beloved characters with hundreds of thousands of lights with retrofuturistic synth music straight from the ‘60s and ‘70s.

When I first started going to Disneyland shortly after the park opened in 1955, the most advanced high-tech item you could buy was an authentic Davy Crockett coonskin cap. You wore it proudly and recorded your visit (in black and white) with your trusty Brownie Sure Shot camera.
Today you'll need a lot more interactive smartphone savvy if you and your children really want to explore Disneyland's hottest new attraction, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.

Disneyland in Anaheim, California, is up and running following a 6.4 magnitude earthquake. There was no damage reported at the theme park following the quake that shook Southern California on Thursday, July 4, just after 10:30 a.m. local time. Although the earthquake was several miles away from Anaheim, the folks over at Disneyland needed to take the proper precautions to make sure that the attractions were safe for parkgoers.

After visiting Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge several times over the past month, I feel like I should stop saying that the land has only one ride. I know that Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance isn't open yet and that the other "attractions" in the land (Oga's Cantina, Savi's Workshop, Droid Depot) are not by any stretch rides. But, to me, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run - supposedly the only ride now open in the land - should not be considered as just one
