I’ve got to say, Brett Rounsaville’s Spy Queue app is a lot of fun. It’s one part “I, spy…”, one part trivia book, and just a lot of fun to do. The app is based around Disneyland, and focuses on making your waits in line a lot easier, and a lot

Pirates of the Caribbean, Blue Bayou restaurant, and California Screamin’ are all closed at the moment. Pirates and Blue Bayou closed back in September and will be closed until November 23 after
Malfunction During Aladdin Stage Show Prompts Evacuation
During yesterday’s 4:50PM performance of the popular stage show “Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular” at California Adventure, a cable supporting Aladdin and Jasmine’s flying carpet snapped, causing the actors to flip upside-down. The show was halted immediately, and the Hyperion Theater was evacuated. Both performers were harnessed and were uninjured in
‘Brain Storm’ Brought Back My Creativity
A little while ago I posted a short bit about Don Hahn’s book Brain Storm: Unleashing Your Creative Self. I was sitting in my bedroom alone tonight and I got to thinking: Have I become any more creative? I’m happy to say that I have, indeed, become a bit more
Photos: The Little Mermaid Dark Ride Preview
The new Little Mermaid dark ride opened up at California Adventure on June 3, with soft opens beforehand as well as annual passholder previews. I was able to check out the soft opening preview and snapped a few pictures for you. Check them out below.
Disney Confidential: Goodbye, Mission Tortilla Factory!
Hey there guys and gals. It’s Anonymouse here with some tasty gossip for you this Memorial Day Weekend. Apparently there are reports that the Mission Tortilla Factory at California Adventure will be closing super duper soon in order to make way for…. *drumroll* GHIRARDELLI CHOCOLATE FACTORY. According to Disneyland Today
Ask Us a Disney Question: Must-Do Attractions at Disneyland/California Adventure?
This question comes from WDW-goer Melissa: I’m a WDW veteran who will have the chance to make a two-day side trip to Disneyland this summer. I would explore from park open to close, but my husband (who is more than tolerant of my Disney-hobby) will run out of steam before
Pirates of the Caribbean 4 Premiere Set Up for Saturday
I was finally able to return home…err, to Disneyland, this week. I knew the Pirates premiere was going to happen this Saturday, but I was surprised to see the set up already done (for the most part). Then again, I wouldn’t want to procrastinate on something like this. As you’ll
Disneyland Annual Passes Get a Makeover
Starting April 6, Disneyland annual passes will no longer have a photo of the passholder. It only took me a few years to get a good picture of myself on there, and now it’s changing. New and existing passholders renewing their pass will have their new pass printed directly at
Disney Photo Power
I like blogs with lots of photos. Sometimes, I think photos just do a much better job than words at telling a story or giving an update. I can do my best to describe how amazing the Little Mermaid dark ride building looks in DCA right now, or I can
Star Tours 2.0, Little Mermaid Delayed at Disneyland and California Adventure
I found this bit of news on Ricky Brigante’s Inside the Magic website. You can read the original article here. The Little Mermaid dark ride, currently under construction at California Adventure, was supposed to have a spring opening date, but alas, it has been pushed back to June. No specific
Family Fun Weekend Recap: Fiesta Weekend
Disneyland introduced their all new Family Fun Weekends, starting January 14 and continuing on through March 6. The festivities can be found at the Big Thunder Ranch festival arena. (I’m glad it’s back there because then I get to pass the goats on the way. I love the goats.) The
That Dreaded E-mail
I recently got that e-mail. You know, that one. “It’s time to renew!” Ugh. I hate getting that e-mail every year. It’s that reminder that I have to make sure that I remember to renew my pass during the busy time that is the beginning of the spring semester at
