The Electrical Parade returns to Main Street
The Main Street Electrical Parade has returned to Disneyland for a Limited Engagement through June 18, 2017. Photo by Adrienne Vincent-Phoenix.
After a 20-year “hiatus” during which parts of the parade made trips to Paris, Florida, to Disney California Adventure and then back to Florida again, the Main Street Electrical Parade has finally returned to Main Street, U.S.A. Thousands of fans gathered inside Disneyland last Thursday night and crossed their fingers that the rain would stay away during a special after-hours preview event. Thankfully the weather cooperated, and MSEP fans of all ages watched as the newly restored drum unit led the procession through Disneyland once more.

The parade looks much like it did when last we saw it across the esplanade at Disney California Adventure, though there have been a few changes. Tinker Bell's hot air balloon no longer leads the parade, and in fact is missing from her unit entirely. Tink now stands on her float, which follows the Peter Pan characters down the route. However, the “Pixie dusted” LED additions made to the MSEP floats back in 2009 are still in use.

The parade is scheduled for two performances most Friday through Sunday nights, and one performance most Monday through Thursday nights. The performance schedule will change during holiday weekends and Spring break. The parade is not performed during rain, which has not been a consideration over the past several years dues to California's historic drought, but has suddenly become quite a concern due to record-breaking winter storms.

Secret Main Street Electrical Parade menus at Disneyland restaurants
Several Disneyland quick-serve restaurants are offering “secret” menus as part of the Main Street Electrical Parade promotion. Signs advertising these special menu items were posted at the locations during the MSEP Premiere event Thursday night, but according to the chef behind the secret menu initiative, will not be displayed during normal park hours. (MousePlanet readers have since reported seeing the signs in some—but not all—of the locations). The idea is that these menu items are for those “in the know,” and the chef is relying on social media to spread the word.
You may spot signs like this at restaurants around Disneyland, but if not, we have the details you need about the secret Main Street Electrical Parade menu. Photo by Adrienne Vincent-Phoenix.
Here are the locations and menu items that we learned about Thursday night, plus a few additions that readers spotted in the park over the weekend:
Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor
- Secret “Fantasia” ice cream whoopie pie sandwich – $4.39
- Secret floats – $4.99
Refreshment Corner
- Secret MSEP Firefly chili and corn chips topped with shredded cheese – $3.49
- Secret MSEP chili mac bread bowl – $10.99
Galactic Grill
- Secret Galactic Burger brioche bun, hamburger patty, cheddar cheese, American cheese, French fries, burger sauce. (I didn't get the price on this one)
Plaza Inn
- Secret fried chicken and Mickey Mouse mini waffles
Stage Door Cafe
- Secret Mozzarella sticks with french fries
All of these will be available through the MSEP “Limited Engagement,” so you have some time to sample them all. And yes, you read that correctly, Fantasia ice cream IS BACK for the duration of the Main Street Electrical Parade promotion. Disney would not say where they are having the ice cream made, but confirmed that a local supplier is making the ice cream from a new recipe that is intended to pay tribute to—not replicate—the original banana, cherry and pistachio confection created exclusively for Disneyland.
The Secret Firefly chili and corn chips is a surprisingly generous portion for $3.49, and is a perfect portable snack for a chilly wait along the parade route. Photo by Adrienne Vincent-Phoenix.
Lunar New Year eats
Disney California Adventure has kicked off the 2017 Lunar New Year festival with two new entertainment offerings and an expanded selection of food from Korea, China, and Vietnam. Three of the marketplace booths from the Food and Wine festival have been brought out for this event, and the Paradise Garden Grill menu has converted to a Lunar New Year menu for the duration.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that Disney chefs really pushed the traditional theme park envelope with these offerings. It's hard to believe a counter-service restaurant in a Disney theme park selling a fried whole fish, but there it is on the Paradise Garden Grill menu. The fish is served family style with rice, soup, and sauteed greens for $25.
As with the Food & Wine Festival, the prices at the marketplace booths are $1 or $2 higher than seems reasonable for the portion size, though the menu at the Paradise Garden Grill is a better value.
Here are the menus and prices from the festival:
Korea
- Kimchi Bokkeumbap: Kimchi-vegetable fried rice – $6.00
- Yachae Mandu: Steamed vegetable dumplings with sesame-garlic soy sauce – $6.50
- Yasik: Sweet rice and dried fruit cake – $4.50
- Banana Milk (non-alcoholic) – $4.25
- Black Beer Stout – $8.00
- Hite Pale Lager – $8.25
China
- Xiao Long Bao: Pork soup dumplings with black vinegar and ginger – $7.00
- Luo Bo Gao: Turnip cake with sausage and oyster sauce – $6.50
- Egg Tart – $4.25
- Passion Fruit Green Iced Tea with Lychee Popping Pearls (non-alcoholic) – $5.00
- Tsingtao Lager – $8.00

Vietnam
- Banh Chung: Sticky rice cake with pork – $6.50
- Chao Tom Voi Nuoc Cham Chua Ngot: Sugar cane shrimp skewer with sweet and sour sauce – $7.00
- Purple Sweet Potato Macaron – $5.25
- Ca Phe Da: Vietnamese iced coffee – $4.25
Paradise Garden Grill
- Japchae: Stir-fried vegetables and noodles with tofu – $10.99
- Galbi: Grilled beef short rib with steamed rice and kimchi – $14.99
- Cach Chien Ca Gion Ngon: Whole crispy tilapia with chili-lime vinaigrette and steamed rice – $24.99
- Pho: Beef Noodle Soup – $11.99
- Mango Pudding – $3.99
- Banh Khoai Mi Nuong: Cassava-coconut cake – $3.99
- Almond Milk Tea (non-alcoholic) – $4.99
- Almond Milk Tea with Fruit Jellies (non-alcoholic) – $4.99
- Max Beer Lager – $7.50
Mulan's Lunar New Year Procession
Another addition to the Lunar New Year celebration is Mulan's Lunar New Year Procession, a colorful performance held in Paradise Pier. Mulan and Mushu preside over this processional, which features dancers, acrobats and drummers. Mulan and Mushu have appeared in a mini-parade during past Lunar New Year celebrations, but this is a much more involved affair with a larger cast than in past years. Without ready access to the sound track I'm having to rely on a decades-old memory here, but this processional sounds like it is set to the same musical arrangements as Disneyland's long-departed Mulan parade.

Like the Viva Navidad street party, there is a fairly small viewing area available here, so you'll want to make sure to arrive early enough to stake out a good spot. Check performance times on the Disneyland website before you go, or check the Times Guide or Disneyland app once you're in the park.
The procession is scheduled to run through February 5, 2017. If you don't think you'll make it to DCA to see it in person, you can re watch our live stream of the premiere performance from our Periscope channel.

Disney's celebration of the Year of the Rooster includes a brand new pre-show for the World of Color show. Hurry Home – Lunar New Year Celebration is an eight-minute mini-show, presented before the start of each performance of the World of Color. You can rewatch our live stream of the premiere performance from our Periscope channel.

This and that…
…Annual passholders can purchase a new refillable popcorn bucket at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure now through March 19. The buckets are $15 each, and refills are $1 each, plus tax. Get all the details on our MousePad discussion forum.

…The Disneyland Resort is holding auditions all this week for parade performers. Based on the casting call for “Acrobat High Bar Performers” and for acrobats with experience on jumping stilts, it appears the resort is casting for the return of the Pixar Play Parade, the only current parade to feature such acrobats. The Pixar Play Parade ended its run last year with no official word from Disney as to whether the parade would return in 2017.
The official @DisneyAuditions Twitter account on Sunday night also posted an audition for female parade performers, using a photo taken from Mickey's Soundsational Parade at Disneyland. There is nothing in the audition listing that specifically indicates that the casting is for the Soundsational Parade, and there is no audition posted for the drum line which leads the parade. It's possible that whomever manages the account just used a stock photo. Disney has said only that Mickey's Soundsational Parade would return in early 2017, but as of this writing the parade is not on the entertainment calendar.
..The Anaheim fire department responded to two calls Sunday night at the Disneyland Resort. One was a reported fire at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Disneyland, and the second a reported fire at the Little Mermaid attraction in Disney California Adventure. There has been no update as to the extent, if any, of damage to the attractions. Both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure closed early Sunday night due to rain.
…This coming weekend, January 28 –29, is what we call “Use it or lose it” weekend at the Disneyland Resort. This final weekend in January marks the deadline for cast members, community groups and Club 33 members to use their remaining complementary admission tickets from their 2016 allocation.
…The MousePlanet Newsletter is here! The newsletter contains a recap of the week's articles (in case you miss a day), news that may have developed since the weekly Updates were published, and tips about what's happening at the Disney theme parks for the coming weekend. We'll also include a fun bonus, such as an Eye Spy or a trivia question. To subscribe to our free newsletter, just enter your e-mail in the box below.

Resort Events
Check here to see if a large convention, competition, or park event might fall during your next trip to the Disneyland Resort. If you know of any in-park events, official or unofficial, that should be listed here, please send us an e-mail (link).
- Lunar New Year Celebration –Friday, January 20 through Sunday, February 5
- “Use it or lose it” weekend – January 28–29. Our designation for the final weekend of January, which marks the deadline for cast members, community groups, and Club 33 members to use their remaining complementary admission tickets from the 2016 allocation.
- Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival – March 10 through April 16. Tickets for the premium events go on sale February 1.
- Dapper Day Spring Outing to Disneyland (unofficial event) – Sunday, April 23. More information at the event website. This popular event grows larger each year, so it's worth making note of the date if you plan to visit the park during this weekend.
- 2017 Grad Nites: May 5, 6, 10, 17, 19, 20, 24, 30 and 31; June 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10, 14, 16 and 17.
- 2017 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend – May 11–14.
- D23 Expo – July 14–16, 2017. Tickets are now on sale through the official D23 website.
- Dapper Day Fall Outing to Disneyland (unofficial event) – Sunday, November 5. More information at the event website. This popular event grows larger each year, so it's worth making note of the date if you plan to visit the park during this weekend.
We also recommend checking the convention calendar at the Anaheim/Orange County Visitor and Convention Bureau website. When looking at that site, remember to note both the number of people and the number of rooms resulting from each convention. A gathering of 25,000 people booking few room nights (indicating most will be driving in to the area for their meeting) can impact traffic around the resort much more than a crowd of 25,000 staying in area hotels. Of course, that second group is going to make finding a hotel room more difficult (and possibly more expensive), so it's best to book your own room as early as possible if you see that a big convention is in town during your trip.

Current Discounts & Promotions
Disneyland prices as of February 28, 2016.
Note: MousePlanet does not edit past Updates to reflect price increases; for up-to-date prices, check the most recent Disneyland Resort Update. Several current promotions offer discounted admission to the Disneyland Resort. For your convenience, we have grouped the discount offers based on the number of days the tickets are valid. Check out the category that best matches the amount of time you plan to spend at the resort, and pick the offer that works best for you. And keep those tips coming—let us know if you find a better or different offer, so we can share it with other readers!
This first section is a list of discounts on ticket-only purchases. Though it has become more common in recent years, Disneyland tickets are rarely offered at deep discounts unless you are a resident of Southern California or Northern Mexico. For residents outside that area, the best discounts available tend to be simple advance purchase discounts. If you know of any additional discounts, offers, promotions, or contests that should be listed in this section, drop us a line. Note, we are no longer listing offers from the Anaheim-Orange County Visitor & Convention Bureau, as their convenience fee negates any savings.
Don't get scammed! Never buy tickets from an unofficial or secondary outlet, such as through eBay or Craigslist. Never rent or purchase tickets from people approaching you outside the gates stating they have remaining days or leftover tickets. This practice is against the terms of use for Disneyland admission, and may result in denial of entry. It is also common for criminals to shoplift inactivated Disney theme park tickets from supermarkets to resell them. There is no way to determine if these tickets are valid until you try to use them to enter the parks. Only purchase Disney theme park tickets directly from Disney, an authorized seller, or travel agency.

Recently, Disney has begun allowing customers to purchase more than one of the offers in a qualifying transaction, so if you spend $40 or more you can buy both items currently available if you wish.

Membership now costs $25, but comes with a $25 birthday reward. We recommend that you prepurchase your membership before your visit so you can take advantage of the priority seating benefit.
