Walt Disney's Disneyland

“To all who come to this happy place: Welcome.” — Walt Disney. For decades Walt dreamed about opening the ultimate entertainment venue. This dream didn’t become realized until the early 1950s, when he handpicked team began to bring his vision to life. Walt Disney’s Disneyland brings us the story of how together, with artists, architects, and engineers a dusty tract of orange groves about an hour south of Los Angeles was transformed into one of the world’s most beloved destinations.

Walt Disney's Disneyland, A New Book on the History of Disneyland by Taschen

Today, there are Disney resorts from Paris to Shanghai, but the original Disneyland in Anaheim, California, which has been visited by more than 800 million people to-date, remains one of America’s most popular attractions. From the day it opened on July 17, 1955, Disneyland brought history and fairy tales to life, the future into the present, and exciting cultures and galaxies unknown to our imaginations.

This bountiful visual history draws on Disney’s vast historical collections, private archives, and the golden age of photojournalism to provide unique access to the concept, development, launch, and enjoyment of this sun-drenched oasis of fun and fantasy. Disneyland documents Walt’s earliest inspirations and ideas; the park’s extraordinary feats of design and engineering; its grand opening; each of its immersive “lands” from Main Street, U.S.A., to Tomorrowland; and the park’s evolution through the six decades since it opened. It is a treasure trove of Disney original documentation and expertise, with award-winning writer Chris Nichols drawing on his extensive knowledge of both Disneyland and Southern California history to reveal the fascinating tale of “the happiest place on Earth.”

The hardcover Walt Disney’s Disneyland book is 328 pages and retails for $60.00. It is available now for pre-order and will be available September 12, 2018.

Incredibles 2 Highest Summer Opening Box Office

It has been an Incredible summer, right?! And it was also an incredible summer at the box office for the latest Disney animated film, Incredibles 2. Incredibles 2 had the highest opening box office this summer!

With an opening weekend box office of $182,687,905, the Supers of Incredibles 2 smashed the record for biggest opening of the summer! And rightfully so! What a fun family summer movie it was! I loved taking my oldest son to see it – and now we’re all obsessed with Dash, Violet and Baby Jack-Jack again!

And if you missed seeing Incredibles 2 in the theaters, you can catch it on Disney DVD October 23rd and November 6th on Blu-Ray. I know this is one movie I can’t wait to add to my Disney collection!

In Incredibles 2, Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is called on to lead a campaign to bring Supers back, while Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) navigates the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell), Dash (voice of Huck Milner) and baby Jack-Jack—whose super powers are about to be discovered. Their mission is derailed, however, when a new villain emerges with a brilliant and dangerous plot that threatens everything. But the Parrs don’t shy away from a challenge, especially with Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) by their side. That’s what makes this family so Incredible!

August 25, 2018

With the Summer winding down and September mere days away, October is just around the corner and for Disney fans that means one thing- Halloween! We’ve talked a lot over the past few weeks about the various celebrations kicking off at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Today, we thought we’d broaden our net and give you a taste of how Disney celebrates the Halloween Season around the globe!

Disneyland Resort – California – The West Coast Halloween celebrations officially kick off on September 7th and what a celebration it’s shaping up to be! Fan favorites like Mickey’s Halloween Party as well as the haunted transformations to the Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain will be taking place again this year. In addition, Disney Junior’s latest sensation Vampirina will be making her first-ever appearance as she stops in to great guests throughout the season at Disney California Adventure. During this time, both parks also get magical makeovers and you’ll see Disney characters roaming the parks in their Halloween finery.

Disneyland regulars will be pleased to know that the ever-popular attraction overlays will be back for another year. Tim Burton fans won’t want to miss the Nightmare Before Christmas seasonal theming of Haunted Mansion Holiday and Guardians of the Galaxy fans will get to experience Mission: BREAKOUT! with some spooktacular touches thrown in for the Monsters After Dark Halloween-themed storylines.

Fans of the Cars films will definitely want to head over to “Radiator Screams” where you can groove along to the Monster Mash at Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween. Also be sure to make a pit stop at Mater’s Graveyard JamBooree. And have those photos at the ready as Mater, Lightning McQueen and the rest of the gang will be sporting some of their favorite Halloween costumes!

In addition, you’ll find a wide range of Halloween treats! Starting on September 7th you’ll find Halloween-themed goodies throughout the parks and resorts. You’ll find everything from Bat-themed sundaes to mummy macarons.

Guests visiting the parks between September 19 – October 31, 2018 may also want to take advantage of Mickey’s Halloween Party. This special ticketed event offers a family, friendly Halloween celebration filled with trick-or-treating, special fireworks and the Frightfully Fun Parade.

Walt Disney World Resort – Florida – This year Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will continue to be the big draw at Magic Kingdom. This special evening features villainous entertainment, trick or treating, characters, rides, attractions, dazzling stage shows and more! The special ticket parties are already underway (they started in Mid-August this year) and will run until October 31st.

During this special event guests are encouraged to dress up like your favorite Disney characters and head to the parks in your ghoulish get-ups. You’ll also be blown away by the sheer volume of delicious treats at the parks. Some of our favorites include the Worms & Dirt at Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe or the Jack Skellington Cake Push Pops available on party nights at Sleepy Hollow.

New for this year at Walt Disney World, three of Disney’s iconic rides are getting Halloween-themed makeovers. Experience Mad Tea Party, Pirates of the Caribbean and Space Mountain in all their Halloween splendor.

The Sanderson sisters from Hocus Pocus will be back for another year with their Villain Spelltacular stage show. You’ll also get the change to enjoy the specially themed Happy Hallo Wishes even fireworks display as well as Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade where Dinsey characters will Masquerade during their late-night stroll down Main Street U.S.A. A highlight parade each year are the scary caretakers from the Haunted Mansion.

Tokyo Disneyland – Each season Tokyo Disneyland in Japan undergoes a magical transformation into a “ghost version” of the park. The scary makeover can be found across the parks from the Halloween-themed decor to the Spooky Boo Parade to the incredible merchandise that you can only get this time of year. The festivities will kick off her on September 11th and run through until Halloween.

And then there’s the awesome food! At Huey, Dewey & Louie’s Good Time Cafe visitors will find that the bun that tops your sandwich looks just like a jack-o’-lantern. Additionally, churros throughout the parks turn pink on the outside and inside will taste like your favorite flavor.

Disneyland Paris – For one night only, Disneyland Paris will throw their annual Halloween bash. Taking place on October 31 from 8:30 pm – 2:00 am, guests will have a chance to meet some of Disney’s Villains, view the Disney Villain’s Halloween Celebrations parade and get into the spirit of the season with a Halloween costume.

Hong Kong Disneyland – This year the Hong Kong Halloween fun kicks of on September 13th and runs through until October 31st. During this time visitors will have the chance to mingle with some of our favorite characters including Jack Skellington in Halloween Town. Can you muster up the courage to visit Dr. Finkelstein’s Lab and meet with Sally who desperately needs your help?

Then there’s the Villains Night Out! Chapter 3 coming to Hong Kong Disneyland. During this event, Maleficent leads a posse of baddies including the Evil Queen, Ursula, Captain Hook, Cruella De Vil and more through the park!

With all this excitement, guests will want to satisfy their stomachs with some devilish delights. You can sink your fans into treats like Jack’s Night, Wizard Pumpkin Cup or a Halloween Mickey Ring!

August 25, 2018

We here at Chip and Co. have been reporting over the Summer that Walt Disney World will be gradually phasing out straws, drinks and plastic bags from the theme parks as a way of fulfilling Disney’s long-standing commitment to reduce their environmental footprint.

Check out this infographic released by Disney earlier this Summer:

Our roving reporter is at Disney World this weekend and has confirmed that this transition is now taking place at counter service locations throughout the parks. During a recent visit to Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe a the Magic Kingdom. we were informed that lids are no longer offered with drinks.

However, parents with small children that are worried about spillage can get kid-sized lids upon request.

Straws are currently no longer be distributed with the drinks. However, we did find straws being stocked near the condiments at Pecos Bill. We are told that these will eventually be swapped out for paper straws.

Here’s a quick video about this big beverage changes:

Thomas Kinkade Studios

Mickey Mouse made his public debut in the short film Steamboat Willie way back in 1928. It was the first cartoon film with synchronized sound which made the film, along with its star, an overnight sensation. The movie forever changed the world of animation and launched a brand-new empire full of funny, cool, clever, caring, silly and mischievous characters. Fast forward 90 years and the world’s most famous mouse embodies the adventurous, lovable optimist in all of us and has become one of the world’s most beloved original icons.

In honor of 90 years, Thomas Kinkade Studios made this amazing piece of artwork that you can showcase in your own home. Visit Thomas Kinkade Studios for more info.

Disneyland Plastic Straws Only Available By Request; Plastic Lids And Bags Being Eliminated

Disneyland Plastic Straws

We recently brought you the news that Walt Disney World is slowly making the transition to eliminate single-use straws. It now appears that Disneyland is joining the environmental effort. Mouse Mail is reporting that guests will now need to request plastic straws if one is needed/wanted. Plastic lids for adult-sized cold beverage drinks will also no longer be offered. Guests who may need lids and straws due to a disability will be provided alternative options instead.

Last month Disney announced that by 2019, the Company will eliminate single-use plastic straws and plastic stirrers at all owned and operated locations across the globe, amounting to a reduction of more than 175 million straws and 13 million stirrers annually.

Another Disneyland change that guests will notice is that plastic shopping bags will now only be available by request when making purchases in the parks.

“Eliminating plastic straws and other plastic items are meaningful steps in our long-standing commitment to environmental stewardship,” said Bob Chapek, Chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences, and Consumer Products. “These new global efforts help reduce our environmental footprint, and advance our long-term sustainability goals.”
