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 DisneylandWalt Disney's Disneyland, A New Book on the History of Disneyland by Taschen book is 328 pages and retails for $60.00. It is available now for pre-orderWalt Disney's Disneyland, A New Book on the History of Disneyland by Taschen and will be available September 12, 2018.

Incredibles 2 Highest Summer Opening Box Office Numbers for 2018

Incredibles 2 Highest Summer Opening Box Office

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!

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.”

What do you think of this change? Let us know in the comments below.
