8,000 Disneyland Tickets Stolen From Youth Group

DL

8,000 Disneyland tickets have been stolen from a youth organization in Galt, California, south of Sacramento. The tickets were in a box trailer at the office of the Future Farmers of America. Authorities say a darkly colored, long bed, pick-up truck was seen on camera stealing the trailer. The thieves broke through a gate as well as a trailer lock before hooking up. Audio and visual equipment were also in the trailer.

The tickets were on their way to the 90th annual California Future Farmers of America leadership conference in Anaheim. The conference, which starts on Sunday, was to include an event at Disney California Adventure Park for thousands of youth members.

Authorities are asking for help locating the trailer. It is being described as a white, double axle, Wells Cargo trailer.

They are also warning people about the dangers of purchasing third party tickets. The stolen tickets have been electronically voided by Disneyland and new ones were reissued for the conference.

If you have any information, please contact the California Highway Patrol.

The Wannabe Supers Concept Art From The Incredibles 2 Released

The Wannabe Supers Concept Art From The Incredibles 2 Released

The Incredibles are joined by a group of new characters in Incredibles 2. The “Wannabe” Supers join The Incredibles and Frozone in the sequel coming out June 15th.  Meet the “Wannabe” Supers

Voyd is a young, overeager mega-fan of Elastigirl. Her superpower is the ability to divert and manipulate objects around her by creating a void that allows the objects to appear and disappear. She’s voiced by Sophia Bush.

Brick is super tough with mega muscles and a fearless spirit that showcases her strong name.

Reflux is a senior who has the unsettling superpower of heaving hot lava, which helps him break into some of the most secure locales.

Krushauer has the power of telekinesis. He can crush a car without even laying a hand on it.

Screech sports big owl-like eyes and a head that rotates 360 degrees. He can fly, thanks to a pair of wings he made to complete his look, but his real power is a high-pitched screech that can break glass.

He-Lectrix can shoot lightning bolts from his fingertips. He’s high voltage, so it’s best to steer clear.

United Kingdom Residents to Have Disney World Resort Parking Fees Waived

United Kingdom Residents to Have Disney World Resort Parking Fees Waived

It’s been just about a month now Disney instituted overnight parking fees for Guests staying on property at Walt Disney World Resorts. As you can imagine, the new fee was met with much kickback from Guests who drive to Walt Disney World.

Today, we have learned that residents of the United Kingdom are excluded from the new overnight parking fee until December 31, 2019. This is likely due in part to wanting to continue to attract Guests from the United Kingdom to Walt Disney World who already pay high prices for airfare alone.

If you are not familiar with the new parking fees, they vary by Resort category. The breakdown is as follows:

  • Value Resorts: $13 per night
  • Moderate Resorts: $19 per night
  • Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resorts: $24 per night

The overnight parking fees went into effect for Walt Disney World Resort Guests who booked their vacation on or after March 21, 2018.
