Disney California Adventure to debut a new Pier Carnival Game at Pixar Pier plus a new exciting Food and Drink location.

Opening soon, a new, exciting game will be featured at Disney California Adventure. In partnership with Cuties, the Official Citrus Fruit of the Disneyland® Resort, and to promote physical exercise, Stomp the Fruit will premiere. For $10, you will attempt to fill a large pitcher with tangerine juice by stomping on Cuties (a plastic, sealed, stomping plate will be above the fruit).

If you complete the challenge, you will win $5 off a freshly squeezed glass of citrus juice, available at our new meal stand featuring Cuties meals, starting at just $15 for an Almond Butter and Citrus Jam Sandwich (crustless), baby carrots, and a small juice drink.

Just another way to make your day more magically at the Disneyland Resort.

And coming soon, another new game, where you will sit on a bicycle to move a set of lights to the finish line, at the same time powering a grinding machine making fresh Almond Butter....

When you are ready to head home, start your smartphone at the start/finish line and head back to ARTIC. When you get there, head to the special set of self serve vending machines and scan your smartphone to get your special pin.

All good satire contains a lot of truth that gets embellished.

And yes, I feel for the CM's and have been discussing the parking problems for over a decade. It is lucky DCA 1.0 failed, because if it worked, , they were short even back them. Westcot had it pretty well worked out. (I met the son who did the Environmental Report for Westcot this week.

I used it because Disney Did change the name. It became the "Esplanade" when Pressler opened the DCA disaster in 2001. If I remember correctly, in 2003/2004 it got changed to the "Main Entry Plaza" on all Disney Maps and guides, and CM's were directed to use the term for a few years, then after DCA got some much needed love, they decided to bring back the Esplanade.

And guess why they changed it? Because most guests were clueless when CM's said to head to the Esplanade to buy tickets, or enter the parks....

So yes, it IS so, so true... ;)

Disneyland Announces "Be Tinkerbell!"

Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime! Disneyland Park will take guests to the skies in spectacular fashion this February with "Be Tinkerbell!", a one-of-a-kind experience combining fireworks, music, and magic! Each night, a guest chosen randomly will "become Tinkerbell", forced by baton into donning the famous pixie's dress and wings, then freighted to the top of the Matterhorn, where the lucky guest will be attached to a zip-line and sent hurtling across Fantasyland. Imagine the memories of your least-favorite mother-in-law squeezed into a Tinker Bell costume, connected to a cable, and then shoved into the open air, her screams of terror masked by the thundering fireworks erupting around her. Participation in the lottery for "Be Tinkerbell" is compulsory. Refusal to "Be Tinkerbell" will result in the guest also required to "Be Dumbo", where the lucky guest is strapped to a pole, lifted in the air, and then swung around in a circle for 90-seconds of Disney magic. All ages, genders and sizes are acceptable. Again, participation is compulsory. Annual Passholders will automatically receive 100 extra entries, per show, per day. If the Annual Passholder is not in attendance that day, Disney Security will track the lucky Passholder down at his or her residence or place of lucky magical business.

I have a lot of Parking Lot Memories, but since I was born in 1960, it was the Original Lots.

Back them, trams did not have designated stops, nor many safety procedures, and of course, no ADA trams. (The parking lot did offer Handicapped Parking very near the Turnstiles. (about where the DCA turnstiles are now today. Just had to ask when you paid, and a colored piece of Paper was placed under the windshield wiper to let the Parking CM's know where to send you. VIP's also got a similar perk.

Anyways, they parked one row at a time, and the tram waited at the end of the row. So you could walk yourself, or get on the tram. More than once people would run to the tram while it was in motion, it would stop if there was room. People also tried to disembark while the tram was in motion.

Fun memories, and as a kid, I might have known some very close friends of mine that did stupid things while visiting. But I did learn how e-stops sensors worked, how the security camera's work, and how nice the security CM's were.....

I remembered walking to the parking lot and your car was quite easy and convenient. Waiting for the tram isn’t so long and suffering. If you forget something, run back and get it. Not so much today.

Disneyland announces the final season of Haunted Mansion Holiday. Disneyland has decided to bring haunted back to the Haunted Mansion by no longer offering the Haunted Mansion Holiday during the Halloween season. Relive the classic attraction the way Walt would have wanted it.


Disney reads these posts, so stop giving them ideas on how to make things worst.
