The woman, later identified as Jessenia Diaz, 26, had allegedly performed the same stunt multiple times over the past two months. Diaz entered the park on a valid annual pass but was approached by security who attempted questioned the ages of her children, who appeared to be older than Disneyland’s free admission policy for kids under 3. Instead of cooperating, Diaz ignored security and continued into the park, ultimately leading Anaheim police to intervene.

According to reports, Diaz had successfully snuck into Disneyland at least four times without paying the required admission for her children. This time, however, she was caught and became uncooperative, shouting profanities at officers as they arrested her. According to reporting by Fox News Digital, Anaheim police Sgt. Matt Sutter has stated when guests are caught trying to enter the park without paying for their kids typically ‘Disney will …. work with you. They’ll try to come up with a solution,” he added. “They want their guests to stay in the park and enjoy their day. But she wasn’t having any of that.” According to Sutter, had Diaz cooperated, she never would have been arrested.

Disney World Raising Prices on 3 Popular Lightning Lane Attractions cpver

Starting on October 18, 2024, Walt Disney World is increasing the maximum prices for Individual Lightning Lane access to three of its most popular attractions. The new prices represent the highest max ever for these rides. The attractions affected by the price hikes include:

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom, which will see its price increase to $13 (up from $12).
TRON Lightcycle Run, also at Magic Kingdom, will now cost $21 (up from $20).
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT will increase to $18 (up from $17).

These changes may come as a surprise to guests, as this marks a significant jump for some of the most in-demand rides. For visitors unfamiliar with Disney’s dynamic pricing structure, the cost for individual Lightning Lane passes fluctuates based on factors like crowd levels, time of year, and the specific day you visit the parks. This means that while these hikes reflect the max prices for these attractions, it is not necessarily the price you will pay for these attractions when you purchase a Lightning Lane Single Pass.

Lightning Lane Single Passes are available for the top-tier attractions across Walt Disney World, with each park typically having one or two attractions that utilize the Lightning Lane Single Pass. These attractions are not included in the Lightning Lane Multi Pass, meaning guests that want to attempt to utilize Lightning Lane for as many attractions as possible will need to purchase a Lightning Lane Single Pass along with the Multi Pass.

Guests Once Again Ride in the front of the Disneyland Monorail

The front seats of the Disneyland Monorail are back! For the first time since before the pandemic, guests can ride in the nose cone of this iconic attraction.

Enjoy stunning views of the park and experience the thrill of riding alongside the Monorail pilot

We recently took the opportunity to ride in the front of the monorail. Not many guests seemed to know it was available so we got on fairly quickly. All you have to do is ask the cast member to sit in the front. If someone is ahead of you, you’ll have to wait until the next monorail comes.

The front of the monorail looks large enough to seat 7-8 guests along with the pilot. It’s also the only spot in the monorail that is air conditioned so it’s a great spot to sit during the hotter months. On top of that, you get great views of the Disneyland Resort!

DinoLand U.S.A. to Begin Phased Closure Ahead of Holiday Season, Making Way for New ‘Encanto’ and Indiana Jones Attractions at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

New Disney Gossip suggests that DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom will begin its phased closure before the 2024 holiday season. This move is reportedly to make way for the highly anticipated “Encanto”-themed area and a new Indiana Jones attraction, both part of the upcoming Pueblo Esperanza land.

97bff243-8f9c-47bb-9791-11115f480667.tmp

The first section expected to close is Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama, which includes the carnival games and TriceraTop Spin. This area is slated to be replaced by the “Encanto” attraction, where guests will join the Madrigal family in their magical Casita.

9cac82cc-5d26-4dd6-b18c-78b45a21d199.tmp

Further closures are rumored to continue into 2025, with the popular DINOSAUR ride being the next to go. While an official closing date hasn’t been announced, it’s expected to be replaced with an Indiana Jones adventure set in an ancient Mayan temple.

e190bbc9-4d6c-4385-99a5-7088729c234c.tmp

The new land will also feature a wood-carved carousel showcasing Disney animals, adding a touch of whimsy to the area.

8b02fae9-3f19-4dbe-86e6-3f73b11a6717.tmp — A new attraction themed after the Walt Disney Animation Studios film “Encanto” follows Antonio the day after he received his magical gift – the ability to communicate with animals and is situated in the new Tropical Americas land coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Although Disney has yet to confirm these rumored closure timelines, Disney Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro has previously stated that guests will have “plenty of time” to enjoy DINOSAUR before its closure. The full completion of Pueblo Esperanza is expected in 2027.
