On February 29th the 5th Anniversary Celebration officially ended. With it came the end of Tinker Bell's Pixie Dust Celebration, and Lighting McQueen - Live! However do not fret if you love shows that are housed on moving stage. Using the same moving stage as Lighting McQueen - Live!, Disneyland Park welcomed Captain America - Live!, a show similar in vein to its predecessor. Guests will see a song and dance number followed by an appearance by the Cap. This new show debuted on July 22nd. However this wasn't the only new addition during the month of July. Princess Procession Dining Hall at the Disneyland Spa & Resort endured a one week refurbishment seeing Disney's newest princesses being integrated into the restaurant. The final new addition occurred during December in which Wreck It - Ralph debuted as a Meet and Greet opportunity outside of the London Heights Cinema. To cap it off Disney announced a New Fantasyland Phase 2 which mirrors more of what Magic Kingdom except for a new Princess and the Frog New Orleans area adjacent to Storybook Circus.
2013 -
In terms of actual openings this is perhaps the most quiet year at the resort, but this is off balanced by the announcements that have been made for the future of the park. In May, Neverland, and the general area south of Stroybookland, but north of Disney Studio Lot had been walled off in preparation for New Fantasyland Phase 2. A Tinker Bell meet and greet was temporarily set up in front of Dumbo the Flying Elephant at Storybook Circus, and Peter Pan was moved to the entrance of Deep Jungle in Adventureland. Unfortunately it seems as if Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, and Wendy Darling have all been cut. Temporary dams have been popping up around the park as water was drained from Neverland, and the surrounding waters.
In November Disney's hit movie Frozen was released. Rather quickly Disney made an announcement of New Fantasyland Phase 2 splitting into two phases with the Princess and the Frog elements being dropped in favor of a new Frozen section themed to Arendelle. The Little Mermaid, and a redesigned Neverland will open as scheduled in 2015. With Frozen following in 2016, and within Arendelle will be a new location for princess meet and greets. The fate of the Enchanted Glen is an eventual close with a replacement of Pooh's Playful Spot in which Pooh will be moved into a new meet and greet area that also incorporates a play area.
See you all next time in 2014!

Repurposed from Lighting McQueen - Live!, Captain America takes full advantage of the stage. The stage is redecorated American flags and banners showing the colors red, white, and blue. Large curtains are hanging on the metal walls, this allows for various dancers, and the Cap to hide behind the curtains for a big reveal. In the middle of the curtains is the name of the show, Captain America - Live!

As the stage rolls into the front of the castle, the various performers following the stage begin to dance and sing. There will be various tunes from the 40's, and of course Star Spangled Man. At the end of Star Spangled Man, the curtains part to reveal Captain America. He waves at the guests, and walks down. Afterwards a 45 minute meet and greet session takes place.
