Painting the road to May

There are weeks where the most exciting thing happening at the resort
is the next phase of the rolling refurbishment project inside Disneyland.
These photos below demonstrate how extensive this work really is.

Ears to the ground

…The Disneyland Resort has raised parking fees to $10 for automobiles,
although the increase is not yet reflected on the Disneyland Web site.

…While Disney has not yet released any official details, several
artists who are creating merchandise for Disneyland’s 50th birthday celebration
have dropped hints about the expected merchandise special event. It looks
like the three-day event will be held Thursday, July 14 through Saturday,
July 16, and will be headquartered at Disney’s Grand Californian hotel.
This information is completely unverified, and subject to change at any
time.

…The July 2005 NFFC convention will be held Saturday, July 9 through
Wednesday, July 13. The NFFC Show and Sale is scheduled for Sunday, July
10.

…Artist Robert Olszewski has announced the next few sculptures in
his Disneyland’s Main Street USA collection. The Main Street Hatter /
Opera House / Bank building, Market House / Disneyana / Main Street Cinema
building and Princess character pack will all be released in March. The
Main Street train station and Fab Five character pack will debut in June.
A Mad Tea Party attraction model and Alice in Wonderland character pack
will be released in July. Olszewski has also been commissioned to create
a model of Cinderella castle for Walt Disney World.

…Reader Sean wrote to say, “the Disneyland Park rehab is going
great but it is not without cutbacks. Rumor has it that the Gag-O-Matic
machine in the Gag Factory in Toontown will not be fixed. The machine
has been broken for over a year and has been deemed too expensive to fix.”

…Reader Mark sent us this interesting tidbit:

You recently mentioned that the Plaza Pavilion could return as a
kitchen or even possibly a pin trading location. Well as an ex-Kodak
cast member in the parks, I would like to fill you in on the 3rd possibility.
Kodak has been courting Management in hopes of moving it’s photo operations
to the Pavilion, freeing up the Main Street Photo Supply and having
more room to handle large crowds, which as you may have noticed, accumulate
out the door after the parade/fireworks and at park closing. The other
reason being that the offices can be right behind the stores, keeping
management in closer contact with the cast members on stage. As it is
now, the Kodak office is in a portable trailer south of the Indiana
Jones show building.

I don’t know for sure what will become of the Plaza Pavilion. But
it’s certainly still a possibility.

Current Discounts & Promotions

Several current promotions offer discounted admission to the Disneyland
Resort. For convenience sake, 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 which works best for you. And keep those tips coming – let us
know if you find a better / different offer, so we can share it with other
readers!

One Day

There are currently no discounts offered to the general public
for single-day admission. Discounted tickets, starting at around
$41 for ages 10 and up, may be available through your employer,
student organization or professional association – check with your
group activity office or human resources department.


Two Days

Southern California 2Fer Ticket ($53/$43) – The spring
“resident salute” discount comes in the form of a 2Fer
ticket, which gets you one admission to Disneyland and one admission
to Disney’s California Adventure on two different days. This ticket
may be purchased in advance at Southern California-area Vons and
Pavillions grocery stores. The tickets are sold in the form of a
“ticket card,” which is scanned and activated at the time
of purchase. Then you just walk up to the main entrance and present
the ticket card and proof of Southern California residency to gain
admission.

Tickets are $53 for ages 10 and older, and $43 for ages 3 to 9.
The second admission must be used within 30 days of the first admission,
or by April 28, 2005, whichever comes first.

According to the official promotion details, Southern California
residents can purchase up to eight 2Fer tickets per day, but each
member of your party must be able to provide proof of Southern California
(Zip codes 90000 through 93599) or Baja California (Zip codes 21000
through 22999) residency to use the tickets.

Reader James tells us that he purchased these tickets at the
Disneyland Resort ticket booths, and was allowed to purchase the
tickets for his out-of-state relatives. He says his relatives were
never asked for proof of residency.


Good Neighbor Hotel Park Hopper Plus tickets ($105/$85)
– Disneyland resort Good Neighbor hotels can offer a 2-Day
Park Hopper Plus ticket at $105 for ages 10 and up, or $85 for ages

offer the 2-day version of this ticket, but a 3-day pass is available.

MousePlanet has contacted AAA offices around the country, and
encountered the same problem. If your local AAA office does not
offer the ticket, you may wish to check with another AAA office
in your area – the decision whether or not to offer this ticket
seems to depend on which regional AAA “club” you belong
to, and in some cases rests with the office manager at each location.

is not participating in this offer, and AAA Oregon/Idaho offers
the 5-day tickets. Some readers have also been told that the California
Diamond Fun Book is no longer available.

special. Through this advance purchase
offer, 5-day park hopper tickets for ages 3 and up are $139, a savings
of $40-70 off the main gate price. These tickets expire 13 days
after first use or May 11, 2005, whichever comes first.

If you plan to visit the Disneyland resort after April 28, you
can still take advantage of the Advance Purchase discount
and save $40 per ticket, as detailed in the chart above. These tickets
expire 13 days after first use or January 15, 2006, whichever comes
first.

Both of these ticket offers are available through the Disneyland
Web site (link),
through some Southern California AAA offices, through some Disney
Stores, or through your travel agent. These tickets must be purchased
in advance, and are not available at the Disneyland resort ticket
booths.


Alaska Airlines “Kids Fly Free” promotion – If
you have to fly to Southern California, Alaska Airlines has a package

ticket, or allows you to buy an adult 5-day park hopper for the

Alaska Airlines “Kids Fly Free” promotion returns

Alaska Airlines is repeating the popular “Kids Fly Free” promotion
for travel to the Disneyland Resort, and is offering park ticket and hotel
discounts as well.

If you book an Alaska Airlines Southern California Vacations package
for travel between January 4 and June 29, 2005, one child (age 2-11) can
fly free with each paid adult ticket. The package also includes four nights
at the Holiday Inn Buena Park and airport transfers via Karmel Shuttle
(children 2-11 are free). The packages, including airfare and hotel, start
at $429 per person.

Even better, if you travel between January 4 and April 28, you also receive
a free child’s 5-day Disneyland Resort park hopper for each paid adult.
If you are traveling without children, you can instead purchase the adult
5-day park hopper ticket at the children’s price. Be aware, however, that
Disneyland considers 11-year-olds to be adults for the purpose of admission
pricing.

If Buena Park is too far away from Disneyland for you, you can upgrade
to a Disneyland Resort hotel and receive up to $200 Disney Dollars with
a stay of four nights or more before April 24, 2005.

Finally, if you book the package through alaskaair.com, you get 1500
Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan Bonus Miles per passenger. For more information,
visit the Alaska Airlines Web site (link).

MousePlanet has a new home!

Welcome to the new home (and new look) of MousePlanet! We’re currently performing a long overdue replatforming of our site to utilize newer technology and provide a cleaner experience for you, our readers.

The site is still a work in progress. We know that some features are not fully operational yet, but our crackerjack team of ninja hamsters is working to bring the site back to full functionality as quickly as possible.

To sate the demands of those who can never get enough of MousePlanet, our decades of articles and park Updates are again available, but there remains work to be done, including getting many more of our images optimized and loading properly. Thanks for your support!
