Very Nice! Does anyone know if that was one cast or multiple casts? Form the looks of that video, DL has a LOT more Dancers in Cars than HKDL.

If you noticed, there are multiple groups rehearsing at the same time. Usually 2-3 groups.

It wouldn't be Disney without a cupcake.

The kickoff of the Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration is right around the corner, and we have more details to share about some of the new food and beverage offerings sure to dazzle your taste buds.



Starting on May 22, Disneyland Diamond Cupcakes will be available at Jolly Holiday Bakery Café – a lemon-flavored cupcake representing the Victorian-era theme of Main Street, U.S.A. The Disney California AdventureDiamond Cupcake will be available at Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Café, featuring orange cake that represents the 1930s theme of Buena Vista Street.



Specialty drinks are also in the works to celebrate the milestone anniversary. My favorite? The Frozen Pomegranate Silver Sparkler from Jolly Holiday Bakery Café. Other delicious drinks include a special Lucky Fortune Tea featuring mango and red passion fruit at the Lucky Fortune Cookery, Wild Raspberry Rapids Frozen Lemonade from White Water Snacks, Enchanted Cherry Apple Frozen Lemonade from Troubadour Tavern, Honey Bee Frozen Lemonade from Hungry Bear Restaurant and more!

While we’ve already given you a taste of some of the new souvenir sippers and popcorn buckets to come, later this summer look for brand-new sippers that will allow guests to partake in the immersive Made with Magicexperience in a whole new way. Make a splash with the “World of Color” sipper at Disney California Adventure park, or show your Disney Villain Side with a Chernabog sipper at “Fantasmic!” in Disneyland park.

I think you will agree that our teams have created offerings to delight all of the senses throughout the Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration. Continue checking the Disney Parks Blog for more details and join the conversation with the hashtag #Disneyland60.

@TP2000 Your comment on the character costume article is HYSTERICAL.

Some of those drinks sound disgusting.

 

[Travel Junkie]

Does anyone else think this is a bad idea? They want people to drink out of an oil can.

Certainly isn't Butterbeer, is it?

Meh. However, I'm all for bringing back those long island iced teas at Mad T Party.

DPB has listed the following characters as getting 60th costumes - Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Pluto, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Chip and Dale.

Sounds like they may have added in even more MSEP music for the US version.

 

[Californian Elitist]

I want that oil can cup. And the sweaters.

 

[RandomPrincess]

I like the pink 60th baseball hat. My daughter would love it. I would love an oil can cup too.

 

[Californian Elitist]

I like the hat as well.

Some other tidbits that were shared today are featured in this OCregister article:

http://www.ocregister.com/articles/disney-657985-parade-park.html

"For "Disneyland Forever," fireworks will play out overhead while scenes are projected onto buildings along Main Street, U.S.A., and in different areas of the park. For example, the Matterhorn will transform into Mt. Wannahockaloogie, from “Finding Nemo.” Inflatable balloons on rooftops will appear like coral reefs, as the story tries to take guests underwater. Later, 100 search lights will light up the sky, and special effects will make it “snow” when “Let it Go” from “Frozen” plays."

There's also this press release posted on Laughing Place, which confirms the updated Harold will be part of a new ride scene:

"Matterhorn Bobsleds will reopen for the Diamond Celebration with new special effects. The Abominable Snowman, more exciting and ferocious, will appear in new and animated ways. A new scene will reveal some lost treasure the Snowman has been hoarding inside the mountain."

I would love to see more! wish they picked another float though.

So a Frozen finale?

I saw only 1 tweet today about a Frozen finale. I think the question is, is Kiss Goodnight a finale like wishes in RDCT or an After Song like Remember When.
