Back to the beginning

MousePlanet reader Pat happened to be wandering around Fantasyland during early entry and came across a photo shoot. Pat was informed by a cast member that the stars of the photo shoot had all appeared in the original opening day television commercial for Disneyland, as children of course. Disney has maintained contact with those children over the years, and Disney is using these new photos in promotion of the upcoming 50th Anniversary celebration. Pat was kind enough to send along a photo of the shoot.

The game’s afoot

MousePlanet is pleased to announce the return of our popular MouseAdventure
event. This time around, we’re going to be in Disneyland Park on Sunday,
March 13, 2005.

In an effort to present a challenging event for our returning teams while
making the game accessible to new players, we are hosting two different
MouseAdventure games on the same day: MouseAdventure Open and MouseAdventure
Invitational: The Enchanted Race. If you are a returning MouseAdventure
participant, this event is unlike any you’ve ever attended. If you’re
new to MouseAdventure, this event is the perfect chance to “get your
feet wet.”

For the first time, we are hosting a post-game dinner and the award ceremony
inside Disneyland. You can read all the general details on the
registration page (link).
Registration closes on March 4 or when the event sells out, whichever
comes first.

Climbers return

Matterhorn mountain climbers have returned to Disneyland. At least on Sunday, park visitors could watch for quite a while as two climbers appeared to be familiarizing themselves with the exterior of the Matterhorn.

We wouldn’t want Mickey to fall

At some point recently, a gold-colored decorative railing was added to the second floor of Sleeping Beauty Castle, on just the three sections at the front of the castle. While it looks fine with a quick glance, a closer look shows that it hasn’t been well integrated with the castle’s architecture. The rails have just been installed over the crenelations and have a very temporary look.

Presumably the upcoming celebrations will have people up there more often than usual and someone (or some government agency) thought that having the barrier top at knee level was a recipe for injury.

New railings have been added to the second floor of the castle.

Parade Information

MousePlanet received the following e-mail, which contains information about the 50th Anniversary parade floats.

I recently performed twice in the past month at Disneyland through the Community Arts Showcase program. While rehearsing backstage, we were able to see the floats for the 50th Anniversary parade. I had a very up-close look at a Lion King float with a lot to look at. At the front of the float, are rather large audio-animatronic Simba and Nala standing proud on Pride Rock.
[There were] two large ribbons of plastic coming from either side of the rock. After questioning a few of the people working on the float, they said they would in fact be running waterfalls. In the middle, we see Pumba lounging in a hammock, and bringing up the rear is a collapsing tree of some sort. It had a railing for the actors to ascend (two storys high).
The last notable thing was a singluar white rope handing from an on-float canopy: Some kind of circus rope acrobatics. Of course there was the Main Street Station float which has already debuted. There was a Toy Story float (recycled from previous parades), as well as a large ballroom on wheels, four marble style pillars holding up a ceiling over a marble dance floor. The last one I got a good look at was a large float with a trampoline on it. A cast member stated there would be a good amount of acrobatics incorporated into the parade, referencing the rope on the Lion King float, the trampoline, and she also mentioned a few people in harnesses with bungies on each side, jumping up and down and doing flips. The one thing that is most noticable is the amount of gold used on the floats. Every float looked as if it went through a See’s candy machine, only it wasn’t chocolate they were drenched in.

Interim Entertainment

The following memo was sent by Disney Travel to travel agents about the two new mini-parade shows that will be playing in Disneyland Park until May. “Mickey’s Magic Kingdom” debuted last Friday and some photos are included. For the scope of the effort, this show is a pleasant diversion.

One issue that has to be worked out is that while the floats moved from Fantasyland to the official show location at the top of Main Street, they tended to draw a crowd as if it were a simple parade. Many people took positions on the curb, watched and photographed, and then moved on with their day unaware that a show of sorts was to be held just a hundred feet down the road.

Disneyland Park Introduces New Character Celebrations
Guests will be dancing in the street with two new interactive character celebrations at Disneyland Park. “Sleeping Beauty’s Royal Celebration,” and “Mickey’s Magic Kingdom Celebration.”
The celebrations each include up to 45 performers, characters and dancers who will join with Guests in an interactive street show. After traveling along a portion of the parade route, the celebrations become a stage show at their designated performance location.

“Sleeping Beauty’s Royal Celebration” is a princess-themed show and takes place in the forecourt of Sleeping Beauty Castle. This is a chance for your clients to dance and play along with Belle, Princess Aurora, Jasmine, Snow White and Cinderella in addition to their princes and other key characters from the animated features.
Making its first appearance Feb. 11 at the north end of Main Street, U.S.A., “Mickey’s Magic Kingdom” highlights the lands at Disneyland Park in a celebration that features Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Stitch.

While Mickey and some friends ride in style, there are plentiy of other characters hoofing it and entertaining the crowd. Photo by
Alex Stroup.
You will have lots of fun as the characters lead them on a celebration of each land, especially when Stitch performs his rendition of Elvis! Donald will lead Guests in a square dance while Goofy will have Guests playing instruments. The celebrations will be featured through May 3 with several performances offered daily.
These whole new street celebrations are designed with Guest interaction in mind, with great opportunities for you to take home memories of singing and dancing with the characters.

Flora, Fauna, and Meriweather give a preview of the dancing that will be displayed when the floats hit their mark at the top of Main Street. Photo by

Two Weeks for Lincoln

A sign has gone up in front of Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln to let guests know that they have just two weeks left until the attraction is closed to be replaced with a 50th Anniversary-related show. While the sign may cause palpitations among Lincoln fans, smaller text at the bottom does reassure that Great Moments returns after the 50th Anniversary.

A sign that will very quickly be out of date. Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln closes for almost two years (at least) on February 22. Photo by

Another Mansion Change

Chris sent us e-mail regarding change in Haunted Mansion that we missed in last week’s Update. Another of the portraits in the hallway has been changed. The lounging woman no longer turns into a black panther, but rather into a white tiger.

The first portrait is now a tiger-woman rather than a panther-woman. Photo by

Ears to the ground

…Another reader, Mark, wrote to tell us that the work being done around Haunted Mansion’s mausoleum is not for the mausoleum itself but rather to bring the brick wall around the exterior queue up to code.

…The Mad Tea Party has reopened and early riders were disapopinted to find that it continues to be difficult, if not impossible, to spin the teacups very fast.

…We’re receiving conflicting reports on the Fantasy Waters show at the Disneyland Hotel. A couple of cast members report that they were told in a meeting that the show would return, while others report that critical elements have already been removed and removal continues.

the offer which works best for you. And keep those tips coming – let us

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 through June 29, 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 through 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.
