Exclusive Article

Some of you may have attended one of my many presentations at D23 or Disneyana Fan Club events over the past twenty years. 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. Dad owned his own restaurant in Frontierland from 1957 to 1962 – a most unusual part of the Park’s history. Well, now I’ve got a new book by the same title with far more fun stuff than we could squeeze into a 45 minute presentation.

Disney CEO Bob Iger Talks Star Wars Galaxys Edge Low Attendance Numbers

Disney CEO Bob Iger explained why there were lower numbers at Star Wars: Galaxy 's Edge than expected. He said a number of factors affected the attendance numbers. “I think a number of things happened,” Iger said during Disney 's Q3 FY19 earnings result webcast, according to ComicBook.com. “First of all, helped in part by some of our efforts, there was tremendous concern in the marketplace that there was going to be huge crowding when we opened Galaxy 's Edge.

At Haunted Mansion 50th Anniversary Bash Stays Weird

Vintage Disney attractions are loaded with oddities. Seemingly outlandish creations - operatic tropical orchids or rum-hungry feral cats - are less likely in today 's modern theme parks, where referencing the thing we saw in a movie too often takes priority. But even for '60s-era Disneyland, when weird wasn 't in short supply, 1969 's long-in-development Haunted Mansion stood apart. Here, the borderline perverse clashes with the ghoulishly celebratory. A serial-killing bride hangs out in the

Disneyland Is Throwing A New Nightmare Before Christmas Halloween Party

This year, Tim Burton fans can rejoice at Disneyland 's new Oogie Boogie Bash, a Halloween party inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas. Disneyland 's website describes

Can You Name All 15 Eticket Rides Still At Disneyland It Is Not As Easy As You Think

As Disneyland celebrates the 60th anniversary of the E-ticket, it seems like a good time to look back at the rides that earned that distinction at the Anaheim theme park. But what are the E-ticket rides of Disneyland? Naming them all is not as simple as you might think. There were 23 E-ticket attractions during the ticket book era that stretched from 1955 to 1982, according to Disneyland. Of those attractions, 15 remain today and 8 have been retired. An E-ticket was

Main Street Electrical Parade Returns On Friday

Fa La La It Is A Holidaytime Reveal

It's always a little Christmassy inside Disneyland park, whatever date the calendar reads, thanks to The Happiest Place on Earth's devotion to nostalgic details, old-timey tunes, green trees everywhere, and costumes galore. Which means this: When the yuletide season actually arrives, the Anaheim destination goes the distance on delighting guests, from the Candy Kitchen's famous handmade (and hefty) candy canes to windows, lightposts, and buildings fully festooned in Christmas

10 Things You Did Not Know About Space Mountain

Tomorrowland had a rough start when the parks first opened both at Disneyland and Disney World. The futuristic-themed sector of the park barely had any rides and even less money to fund the innovative endeavors that Walt Disney wanted to create. Space Mountain finally opened at Disney World in 1975 and at Disneyland in 1977, creating one of the more thrilling rides at Disney parks. The concept for Space Mountain began long before its grand opening. But due to the lack of technology available

You Know You Want To Go To Star Wars Land We Asked Experts How To Make The Most Of The Experience

Disney or Star Wars: It 's hard to say which universe has more obsessive fans. And it 's hard to underestimate how pumped people have been for the 2019 opening of Disney 's new Star Wars area, Galaxy 's Edge. Galaxy 's Edge opened this past May in California 's Disneyland with only one true ride, “Millennium Falcon: Smuggler 's Run,” and Disney reported that by mid-July one million riders had already taken the voyage. Hollywood Studios in Florida 's Walt Disney World is opening its own Star

Russi Taylor Voice Of Minnie Mouse For Over 30 Years Dies At 75

Russi Taylor, the voice of Minnie Mouse for more than 30 years, has died. Taylor, 75, died on Thursday at her home in Glendale, California, Disney announced. In 1986, Taylor beat out hundreds of other hopefuls to become the voice of Minnie in dozens of movies, TV shows and theme park experiences. Among a legion of credits, Taylor lent her voice to "Runaway Brain," "Get a Horse!" and "Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers." She also made a cameo as Minnie in the

Which Attraction Has The Most Riders Since Star Wars Galaxys Edge Opened You Will Be Surprised

You 'd be forgiven for assuming the new Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction has had the most riders of any Disneyland attraction since Star Wars: Galaxy 's Edge opened - but you 'd be off by a long shot. Disneyland announced last week that 1 million riders have ridden the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction since Star Wars: Galaxy 's Edge debuted. That statistical peek behind the curtain tells us a lot about the ride capacity of the E-Ticket attraction and the number of people

Batuu Travelers Ogas Cantina Bookings Have Changed

Question: Are there more Stormtroopers running around the Death Star, or moons in a star field, or nuggets of Jedi-based wisdom in Yoda's brain, or people who'd like to visit Oga's Cantina at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge inside Disneyland park? That's a riddle as tough as a Bantha is soft. But one thing is true: A lot of people out there are eager to enjoy a beverage inside the cosmically themed venue, and to visit its near-neighbor, the equally popular Savi's

A New Horse Working On Main Street Meet Bert

If you notice the horse-drawn streetcars at Disneyland, you might notice a big gray fellow that 's a recent addition to the fleet that 's been transporting guests up and down Main Street since opening day in 1955. His name is Bert, and he 's the latest horse to become a cast member in Anaheim. We had some questions about Bert and here are the answers Disneyland provided: Q. What breed of horse is Bert? A. Bert is a Percheron Draft Horse. This breed originated in

The Happiest March On Earth Fetes Disneyland 64th

The sights you'll see inside Disneyland park? A certain snowy mountain, if you look northeast from the Central Plaza. Elephants flying overhead, if you're near King Arthur's Carrousel. And birthday buttons everywhere, on hundreds if not thousands of lapels, all to show that The Happiest Place on Earth is the place where many people choose to spend their happiest day. But how do you throw a birthday party for a place that is the scene of so many birthdays,

Millennium Falcon Ride Gets Millionth Rider After Opening 7 Weeks Ago

Star Wars: Galaxy 's Edge has been open for only seven weeks at Disneyland Resort in California, and its only ride, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, has reached 1 million riders. Earlier this week, Disneyland gave the Ridgeway family, from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, an out-of-this world experience for becoming the 1 millionth rider, according to Disneyland Resort. The ride is averaging more than 20,000 passengers every day. The Ridgeway family - 8-year-old Jonathan,

Abigail Disney Visited Disneyland She Is Livid About What She Saw

Disneyland calls itself "The Happiest Place on Earth," but family heiress Abigail Disney said she found workers struggling when she recently visited the park. In an interview with Yahoo this week, Abigail Disney said she decided to check out Disneyland's worker conditions after a worker sent her a Facebook message. She said every employee delivered a similar message to her: "I don't know how I can maintain this face of joy and warmth when I have to go home and forage for food in other

Why Does Attendance Seem To Be Down This Summer

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. Instead, Disneyland Resort visitors

How Many People Can Fit In Ogas Cantina How Much Is The Bar Raking In Let Us Look At The Math

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 as $70 million in its first year of

He Is Living Disneyland Dream Just Like Mom And Dad

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 Thundering Heard Pep Band.

Growing Up In Disneyland

Some of you may have attended one of my many presentations at D23 or Disneyana Fan Club events over the past twenty years. 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. Dad owned his own restaurant in Frontierland from 1957 to 1962 - a most unusual part of the Park 's history. Well, now I 've got a new book by the same title with far more fun stuff than we could squeeze into a 45 minute presentation.

Main Street Electrical Parade Returns For A Limited Engagement This August

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. (Seriously, if you 're a Moog nerd, you 're gonna love this

Hyperspace Mountain To Continue Popular Run Through Halloween Season

Space Mountain won 't get the Ghost Galaxy holiday ride overlay this Halloween season. A fleet of X-Wings, TIE fighters and Star Destroyers will keep a fiery interstellar demon from haunting Space Mountain this Halloween season as Disneyland extends the run of the popular Star Wars version of the ride. Disneyland will continue the run of Hyperspace Mountain through the Halloween season due to the continued popularity of the Star Wars ride overlay on the venerable Space Mountain

Disneyland To Offer Halloween Screams To All This Fall

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 it for everyone this year. However,
