What’s green and walks on two legs?


If you visit the Disneyland Resort this week, keep your eyes peeled for
the new creation from Imagineering: Lucky the Audio-Animatronic dinosaur
is loose in Disney’s California Adventure.

During this two-week trial, Lucky and his pal Chandler the Dinosaur Handler
can be found roaming the Hollywood Backlot District, making a loop from
Hollywood and Dine, down Hollywood Boulevard, and back around past Superstar
Limo. The explanation for the odd appearance of a dinosaur in Hollywood
is that Lucky and Chandler are going on some rides. Armed with a park
map, the pair makes their way towards “Dinosaurin’ Over California.”
Of course, they never quite get there, as Lucky gets tired and needs to
head back for a nap.

Lucky stands about eight feet tall, and his head and neck can lift almost
straight up. He walks on his two back legs and pulls a very large cart
of silk flowers. Lucky and Chandler interact, but Chandler does not operate
the character—Lucky is controlled by two discreet operators on the
sidelines. Lucky grunts, groans and whines in reaction to Chandler’s comments
and events around him. He can blow his nose, wink, smile, and look around.

What is most impressive about Lucky is the degree of articulation in
the head and neck, and the wide range of facial features. It’s easy to
believe that he is real as he “talks” with Chandler, or whimpers
when his balloon floats away, or smiles and winks at a shy child. Lucky’s
motions are incredibly smooth—he doesn’t appear robotic in his steps,
or the way his head moves around to take in the scenery.

During an appearance last Wednesday, the figure malfunctioned and was
pushed off-stage. The creature was repaired on Thursday, and it performed
again on Friday for a large crowd of delighed visitors. One cast member
jokingly said, “This is the largest crowd I’ve seen in Hollywood
for months.”

Although it has been rumored that Lucky is heading to Florida’s Animal
Kingdom after this test, one of Lucky’s handlers said on Friday that the
character might be staying in Hollywood after all. Either way, it is fantastic
to see a walking, grunting example of Disney creativity up close and in
person.


Lucky is tentatively scheduled to appear today through Friday, August
29, at 10:15, 1:45, 3:45 and 5:45. Each appearance lasts about 30 minutes. NOTE: This schedule was updated on Tuesday, August 25. MousePlanet received two revisions to the schedule; just goes to show that these times are very much subject to change without notice. But this is the current plan.

    Chandler says, as he offers a balloon to Lucky. Lucky shows surprising

The Department of Untapped Hilarity

A new show has appeared at DCA. Called the Department of Untapped Hilarity,
the show takes place on the stage recently abandoned by Goofy’s Beach
Party Bash. It’s an improv-type show, where four “studio employees”
get to show their stuff.


Patriotic-colored breakfast?


On Saturday morning, a chef at the River Belle Terrace—home of the
famous Mickey Mouse Pancake—could be seen teaching some of the pancake
makers how to cook something a little different: blueberry and raspberry
pancakes. The pancakes were then passed around to the guests in line,
much to the chagrin of some guests near the front who wanted the fruit
pancakes all to themselves. Whether the pancakes will become permanent
members of the River Belle breakfast menu remains to be seen, but keep
your eyes, ears and nose open.


Breakfast value meal?


Visitors who purchase certain Disneyland travel packages, including the
AAA Passport Plus Package, receive a breakfast voucher good at Club Buzz
in Tomorrowland. But weekday park-goers might get a surprise when they
try to redeem their vouchers.

In yet another effort to cut costs, park managers have decided to close
Club Buzz for breakfast Monday through Thursday. Weekday afternoons, the
location serves light snacks and drinks. The full Club Buzz breakfast
and lunch menu is now served only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

PHOTO: Breakfast is served until 10:30 a.m., but only on weekends.

When Club Buzz is closed, patrons are encouraged to take their vouchers
to any other breakfast location in the park, where they can apply the
$8.25 value towards their meal. Area managers have been encouraging visitors
to try out the Plaza Inn character breakfast buffet—where their voucher
would cover less than half of the $18 adult ticket.


For a more affordable alternative, try the Riverbelle Terrace near the
Rivers of America. While the menu prices are still higher than Club Buzz,
the voucher covers most of the meal cost.


Moon Rock: MIA


Sharp-eyed readers have noticed that the moon rock has been missing from
the NASA exhibit in Tomorrowland for several weeks. At first, the rock
was replaced with a confusing sign telling visitors that the rock would
be on display during regular park operating hours.

PHOTO: Perhaps it's an invisible moon rock.

Now the moon rock case just sits empty in the middle of the unattended
exhibit. The reason? Budget cuts, of course. Cast members explain that
the moon rock must be guarded when on display. If the rock is kept locked
up backstage, there is no need to staff the NASA exhibit. “Anyway,
this is all going away after Christmas,” said one cast member. “They
want the room for the Imagineering exhibit.”


Patina online


You can now make reservations for some of the Patina Group restaurants—including
Catal in Downtown Disney—online. The new Patina Web
site
allows to you make your reservation and receive an instant
confirmation.

The Patina Group has also announced the name of its new Mexican-concept
restaurant in the former Y Arriba Y Arriba pad. Tortilla Joe’s is scheduled
to open in February 2004, and will have a magarita bar on the patio.


Candlelight rumors


We hear that Disneyland’s Candlelight Processional is tentatively scheduled
for December 6 and 7. Choir members speculate that the show will return
to its former home in Town Square, because the Fantasyland Theater will
be under construction to make room for the new Snow White production.

Get 5 days and 4 nights for the price of 3


Book a package at the Disneyland Resort for a minimum four-nights through
the Walt Disney Travel Company, and your package price will include one
night’s free accommodations at participating hotels. Your package will
also include a five-day Disneyland Resort park hopper ticket for the price
of a three-day Disneyland Resort park hopper ticket. Click
here
for a list of participating hotels and dates.


Play 4 Days pass


Southern California residents, (zip codes 90000-93599), can purchase
a new four-day ticket for just $79. The ticket is valid for four admissions
to either Disneyland or Disney’s California Adventure park, between June
1 and September 30, 2003. Residents can purchase just one ticket per person,
per day, so your out-of-town relatives will need to buy their own, regular-priced
admission.


The tickets can only be used at one park each day—no park hopping.
We understand that you can use two admissions—one to each park—on
the same day, effectively making this a $79 two-day park-hopper ticket,
a $20 discount from the regular adult price.


The tickets can not be used at Disneyland on June 28, and July 4, 5,
26, and August 2, 9, 16, 23, 29, 30, and 31. There are no block-out days
for DCA. Tickets are nontransferable, and you must show a valid ID each
time. These tickets can be applied towards the cost of a Deluxe or Premium
Annual Passport, (but not a Southern California Annual Passport), so long
as you upgrade when or before you use the fourth admission.


Disney’s Armed Forces Salute


Through Friday, December 19, all active members of the United States
military (including Coast Guard and activated National Guard and Reservists)
qualify for Disney’s Armed Forces Salute and can claim one free
3-day park-hopper tickets. Since the tickets expire on December 19, you
must claim them by December 17 to use all three day’s worth. The passes
can only be claimed at a park gate ticket booth. To claim the passes,
valid military ID must be shown; activated National Guard and Reservists
must also show their active duty orders.


In addition to the one free pass, each qualifying person can also purchase
up to five 3-day companion passes for $39 each. If the qualifying person
cannot visit a park to purchase these companion tickets, a spouse may
do so instead.


Summer Annual Passholder special


From May 21 to September 3, APs can purchase a 2-Day Disneyland Resort
Park Hopper for $69 (10+) and $49 (3-9). Just present your AP at any ticket
booth. Limit five tickets per Passholder, per day. Tickets are valid for
14 days from date of first usage. First usage must be on date of purchase.
Last usage must be on or before Tuesday, September 16, 2003.


Annual passholder discounts at Alamo


California residents get discounts of up to 20% off Alamo’s retail rates
in the United States. For more details and the discount code you’ll need
for this offer, visit the annual
passholder section
of the Disneyland Web site.


ESPN Zone discounts for annual passholders


Disneyland annual passholders can get an Season Ticket Frequent Dining
Card at the Downtown Disney ESPN Zone. The Season Ticket entitles you
to a free soda with your meal purchase of $6.99 or more. Once you have
made four meal purchases, you receive the fifth meal and soda free, and
get a chance to win a pair of tickets to the ESPY Awards in 2004. See
location for more information and details.


City Pass now available with AAA packages


You can now purchase the Southern California City Pass with Walt Disney
Travel Company packages.


With a Southern California City Pass booklet, you will receive admission
to five separate entertainment options. Admission includes:



  • 3-day Disneyland Resort Park Hopper Ticket
  • 1-day ticket to Sea World Adventure park
  • 1-day ticket to the World-famous San Diego Zoo
  • 1-day ticket to Knott’s Theme Park.

Instead of the Disneyland Resort Park Hopper Ticket currently included
in California packages from the Walt Disney Travel Company, guests can
select a Southern California city’s for an additional charge of $47 per
pass ($32 per pass for guests ages 3 through 9).


Note: The Southern California City’s does not include the $10
ESPN Zone Arena Game Card, or the California package’s feature that allows
guests to collect multiple Fastpass tickets at once for free in advance.


5-Day Park Hopper promotion extended


The “Get a 5-Day Park Hopper ticket for the price of a 3-Day ticket”
promotion has been extended through January 5, 2004. These tickets are
available when you order online from Disneyland.com.

use the tickets.
