Lights out for the Main Street Electrical Parade | Downtown Disney changes parking policy | Taste of Downtown Disney District kicks off 2017 CHOC Walk campaign | This and that…
Lights out for the Main Street Electrical Parade
The “encore engagement” of the Main Street Electrical Parade is scheduled to end this Sunday, August 20, with the fate of the iconic Disneyland parade still pending. Disney officials have not said whether the parade is truly “glowing away forever” at the conclusion of this run, is returning to Disneyland at a later date, or is being sent on to another Disney park. Versions of the Electrical Parade have been presented at Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, and Disneyland Paris.

Although the summer blockout season is still in force, and many local school districts already back in session for the 2017–2018 school year, expect very heavy crowds along Main Street, U.S.A. this week as fans turn out to see the parade off once again. As a reminder, blockout day passes are available through Sunday, August 20, for those annual passholders who can't bear to miss the chance to see the parade one last time.
Downtown Disney changes parking policy
The days of free parking in Downtown Disney are numbered, Disney announced last week. Effective this Wednesday, August 16, Disney does away with the previous policy of allowing patrons to park for up to two hours in the Downtown Disney lot at no charge. The hourly $12 parking fee is now calculated in 30-minute increments, allowing for just a 15-minute grace period for drivers who are dropping off or picking up passengers.
A new parking policy goes into effect at Downtown Disney this week. Photo by Adrienne Vincent-Phoenix.
After the grace period, the minimum parking charge is $6, and tops out at $48 per day.
Customers can receive two hours of complimentary parking in the lot when they spend at least $20 in one transaction at any Downtown Disney shop, kiosk, or quick-service restaurant. Visitors can also receive up to four hours complimentary parking with validation from the AMC Theaters, or one of the table-service restaurants in Downtown Disney.
Disneyland Resort Hotel restaurants will not offer validation for the Downtown Disney parking lot, nor will shops or restaurants inside the theme parks.
Disney last changed the Downtown Disney parking lot pricing structure in October 2015, reducing the free parking period from three hours to two. At the time, we noted that the Downtown Disney lot had become increasingly crowded, partly due to annual passholders who for their theme park visits would park in Downtown Disney for a few hours in order to avoid the daily parking fee in the public lots. With the summer blockout season coming to an end, it's possible Disneyland was taking proactive steps to keep passholders from taking over the lot once again.
Downtown Disney has also become a popular staging area for rideshare drivers who service the Anaheim resort area, and it's not at all uncommon to see Uber and Lyft drivers parked in that lot between runs.
Still, as we noted in 2005, the free four-hour parking makes it a tight squeeze for a dinner-and-a-movie night out in Downtown Disney, and it's not pleasant to choose between skipping dessert or paying an extra $12 for parking. We would like to see Disney allow customers to combine parking validation from the AMC Theater and a table-service restaurant, and allow five hours of complimentary parking for customers who visit both.
As inconvenient as this new policy will be for some Downtown Disney customers, the reality is that the Downtown Disney lot as we know it will close in 2018 when construction begins on a planned 700-room hotel and adjacent parking structure. Once that happens, some visitors may long for the days when they could park as close as the Rainforest Cafe, rather than the Mickey and Friends parking structure.
Taste of Downtown Disney District kicks off 2017 CHOC Walk campaign
Nearly 500 guests helped kick off the 2017 CHOC Walk campaign last week at the 10th annual Taste of Downtown Disney District, a fundraiser for CHOC Children's Hospital. The progressive tasting event visited a number of Downtown Disney eateries, and included samples of food, wine, beer, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages.

New this year was a special Evening of Disney Rarities offering, hosted by Disney artist, author and filmmaker David A. Bossert. Bossert shared an edited version of a presentation from the Newport Film Festival, with clips and artwork most Disney fans have never had the opportunity to see.

At the conclusion of the event, Bossert screened the Disney short film Destino, and autographed copies of his book Dali and Disney: Destino. As is our tradition at MousePlanet, this book is now posted on eBay, with 100% of the proceeds going to CHOC Children's Foundation. Click here to view the item, and place your bid.
The evening wrapped up at the Downtown Disney stage, where guests sampled Jamba Juice smoothies and La Brea Bakery cookies while Disney artist Jimmy Mulligan speed-painted a portrait of Walt Disney. KTLA 5 Morning News host Henry DiCarlo served as the master of ceremonies for the closing, and conducted a live auction for the painting, which sold for over $3,000.

Join Team MousePlanet for the 2017 CHOC Walk in the ParkRegistration is now officially open for the 2017 CHOC Walk in the Park, to be held Sunday, August 27, 2017 at the Disneyland Resort. Thanks to the efforts and generosity of MousePlanet.com readers, staff and contributors, Team MousePlanet has raised over $62,000 for CHOC Children's since 2008. We invite all MousePlanet readers, friends, and family to join us at the 2017 walk, as we celebrate a decade of giving. The minimum fund raising commitment for all walkers (ages 3 and up) is $85. When you register for the event, you can opt to register as a Fundraising Bear or a Busy Bear:
Why Join Team MousePlanet? COMMUNITY! Walking with Team MousePlanet is a great way to spend a morning with MousePlanet staff and readers, all while raising money for a great cause. Stay after the walk and enjoy Disneyland with your fellow Disney fans. CONVENIENCE! If you register as a Fundraising Bear, Team MousePlanet will handle check-in for you. No need to drive to Orange the week before the walk to collect your wristband and T-shirt. You need only meet us in Downtown Disney the morning of the walk to collect your goodies, then head right into Disneyland to start the walk. The deadline to join Team MousePlanet and meet the $85 fundraising requirement in order for us to handle check-in for walkers is Friday, August 18. We still welcome those who register after this date, but they must handle their own check-in. CHOC-tastic discount ticket promotion In addition to helping support an outstanding local charity, one of the benefits of participating in the CHOC Walk is the opportunity to purchase discounted Disneyland tickets during the CHOC-tastic promotion. Walkers who meet the $85 fund raising minimum can purchase a 1-Day 1-Park Disneyland Resort ticket for $57 (regularly $91 to $124), or a Disneyland Resort 1-Day Park Hopper ticket for $86 (regularly $151 to $174). The tickets can only be purchased by registered walkers in person at the Disneyland Resort on the day of the walk. You must present your CHOC Walk in the Park wristband to a Disneyland Resort Ticket Booth to purchase the discounted tickets. Each walker with a valid wristband can purchase up to five tickets, which represents a savings of up to $440. The tickets are valid starting Sunday, August 27, 2017, and must be used by September 23, 2017. The tickets are not valid September 1 to 4; September 15, or September 20 to 22. Are you ready to CHOC Walk with Team MousePlanet? It's easy to sign up – just visit the CHOC Walk website. You can opt to join Team MousePlanet during the registration process. If you have any questions about the event, join the discussion on our MousePad forum. |

School Holidays
Notable school holidays that may impact park attendance. If you know of any other school holidays that should be listed here, please send us an e-mail (link).
2017
- Utah Education Association convention (UEA, a.k.a. “Utah Escapes to Anaheim”) – October 19–20. Expect large attendance levels October 19–22 as Utah students and families take advantage of a 4-day weekend created by their school's participation in a state education convention. Not all Utah schools or teachers close for or attend UEA, but the impact on the Resort is usually noticeable enough to mention.
- Nevada Day – October 28. Nevada schools are closed on Friday, October 28 to observe Nevada Day, creating a three-day 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.
Non-Disney Resort Events
Notable events at parks and attractions around Southern California. If you know of an event that should be listed here, please send us an e-mail (link).

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.

Discounts for:
| Everyone |
Purchase with Purchase offers – Disneyland Resort shops frequently offer a reduced–price souvenir (often a tote bag, watch, or blanket) with a qualifying minimum purchase. These are offered at Disney-operated stores only, and selection may vary by location. 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. If you're a passholder, the minimum purchase is calculated after your discount, and your discount does not apply to the promotional item. Current offers:
Landry's Select Club – members of the Landry's Select Club get priority seating at the Rainforest Cafe when available (which makes a huge difference on busy days). This club replaces the former Rainforest Cafe Safari Club, and runs on a point-based system that gives you a $25 gift certificate after you spend $250. 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. ESPNZone MVP Club – membership in the MVP Club does not offer any discounts on food. However, once a member you can make an online reservation for your party up to three days in advance and will get a 25 percent increase in points purchased when playing games in the Sports Arena (and 40 bonus points at activation). You must register online and your membership card will then be mailed to you within two weeks. The card must then be activated at any ESPNZone by the person who signed up for the card and ID will be required (link). Character Dining Vouchers – discounted character dining vouchers are available for purchase online, in advance of your trip, through Get Away Travel. |

| Southern California residents |
The 3-Day So Cal Resident 1-Park Per Day ticket offers residents of Southern California and Northern Baja California admission to either Disneyland or Disney California Adventure on one day, and then a second visit to either park on another day on or before May 25, 2017. You can use both days of this ticket at the same theme park, or visit one park one day and the other park on the second day, but you cannot use it to enter both parks on the same day. The ticket is $149 for ages 3 and up. You can also upgrade this ticket to a 3-Day Park Hopper, which allows entry to both parks each day, for an additional $40, a savings of up to $106 compared to the box office price of a three-day park-hopper ticket. If purchased in advance of arrival, the three-day tickets include one Magic Morning admission. This benefit does not come with tickets purchased at the theme park ticket booths, so make sure to order online and print at home before you arrive. If purchasing at a participating third party ticket outlet, double-check that their 3-day tickets come with this feature. There is no “fuse” on this ticket, which means you can use the first admission today and wait until May to use the second (or third) admission. You must, however, purchase the ticket by May 22, 2017. Tickets expire May 25, 2017, and are blocked out April 9–23, 2017. Read full details of this offer in the January 17 Disneyland Resort Update. You can either purchase tickets at the Disneyland Resort ticket booths, or online at Disneyland.com and print them at home. You can also purchase them at participating Disney Stores and authorized third party ticket outlets, including many local grocery stores. |
