Disneyland Resort Update for February 6, 2023
News and Views
Tiana's Business Adventure
Walt Disney Imagineering last week released new details about the storyline for the upcoming Tiana's Bayou Adventure attraction coming to Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom in 2024, and it really didn't do much to generate excitement for the new ride.

In this all-new chapter of Tiana's story, we learn that after Tiana opened her signature restaurant, she purchased a salt mine and formed an employee-owned cooperative. This “multi-faceted enterprise” runs the salt mine, a boutique farm, and working and teaching kitchens, and develops new products under the Tiana's Foods label, including hot sauce.
This is one heck of an elevator pitch, or cover letter for a small business administation loan, but it doesn't sound like a very exciting ride. From Disney's description, we learn all of this while navigating the attraction queue. The attraction storyline seems to start with Tiana's Mardi Gras party, and a search for a missing ingredient that takes us on a trip through the salt mine and down into the Bayou. Those details are still forthcoming. So far, Tiana's Bayou Adventure sounds like a good Business Week feature, but not something I'm eager to make a Lightning Lane reservation for.
Hyperion Theater to host new limited-run production
A casting notice on the Disney Auditions website last week has park-watchers wondering exactly what Disney musical requires this combination of performers:
- Three Female identifying roles, 20s to 50s. Vocal Range: All. Style: Proficient with harmonization and ability to sing in many styles from Destiny’s Child to Andrew Sisters. These three performers are a fun, energetic and musical sisterhood that acts as the occasional “Greek Chorus”.
- Female identifying, mid-20s to early 30s. Vocal Range: Mezzo Soprano. Style: contemporary musical theatre. Brave, resourceful and intelligent. Must have a strong English accent.
- Male identifying, 17 to 20. Vocal Range: Tenor. Style: contemporary musical theater. Young man coming into his greatness.
- Male identifying, 30s to 40s. Vocal Range: Baritone/Tenor. Style: contemporary musical theatre. He is decisive, capable, principled and has a wry sense of humor. Leads others with attitude and swagger.
- Male identifying, mid-20s to early 30s. Vocal Range: Baritone/Tenor. Style: contemporary musical theater. He is a noble, loyal, idealistic, and romantic do-gooder, who does not give up easily.
These are just a few of the roles Disney is looking to cast for a new limited-run production at the Hyperion Theater at Disney California Adventure. The theater has been dark since the parks reopened in 2021, and we've admittedly been wondering just when Disney was going to stage a new show there. This casting notice was welcome news, but… exactly what show are they casting for?
The roles posted could point to a production of Hercules—if Megara had a strong English accent. Some have wondered if Tarzan would make sense, but few of the other roles seem to fit characters from that film.
However, one theory that I can strongly get behind is Rogers: The Musical actually getting a full—if limited-run—treatment. Marvel fans may know the fictional musical from the first episode of the Disney+ series Hawkeye. Fans who attended the 2022 D23 Expo were treated to a surprise live performance of “Save the City” during the Marvel Studios panel.
Disney says “details about this new show will be announced soon,” so for now I'll just leave this video here for those who may not yet have encountered Rogers: The Musical:

runDisney returns
runDisney returns to Anaheim in 2024, and hopeful runners should already have an alarm set so to be ready when general registration opens at 7:00 a.m. PDT on February 14, 2023. However, gold and platinum-level members of Club runDisney can register for some of the events starting this Tuesday, February 7.
The return of the Disneyland events brings back the Coast to Coast challenge in 2024. To qualify, runners must complete the 2024 Disneyland Half Marathon, and a 2024 qualifying event in Walt Disney World. There are two different medals to be earned, so check out the Coast to Coast challenge page for eligibility requirements.

Virtual Races – If you can't make it to Anaheim to run in person—or if the events sell out before you get in—Disney is offering a virtual edition for the 5K, 10K, half marathon and Dumbo Double Dare events. Registration for these virtual events opens on February 17. Pricing is as follows:
- Virtual Disneyland 5K – $85

New perks now available
Last month, Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, announced some changes coming to the Disneyland Resort for the start of the Disney100 celebration, and this week we see two more of those changes take effect.
Earlier Park Hopping
As of this past Saturday, February 4, visitors with park hopper tickets or Magic Key passes can now enter their second (non-starting) theme park as early as 11:00 a.m., rather than waiting until 1:00 p.m.
As I wrote when the announcement was first made, the change to 11:00 am gives visitors more flexibility to do what they want, where they want, and I think it will actually benefit Disney's California Adventure a lot more than some might expect. While Disneyland is frequently my starting park, DCA is usually where I want to have lunch—and I don't always want to wait until 1:00 to do so. Let's just hope this is one step closer to eliminating the whole park-hopping restriction entirely.
Complimentary digital ride photos
Visitors to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure can now receive complimentary Disney PhotoPass digital downloads of attraction photos. This perk runs through the end of the Disney100 celebration.
The perk is available at the five attractions which offer on-ride photos:
Disneyland
- Space Mountain
- Splash Mountain
Disney California Adventure
- Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!
- Incredicoaster
- Radiator Springs Racers
Disneyland All-American College Marching Band
On January 27, Disneyland announced via social media that the fan-favorite Disneyland All-American College Band program was going on “hiatus.”
The Disneyland All-American College Band brings college musicians from all over the country to Anaheim each summer, where they spend about three months rehearsing and performing at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. In addition to their in-park performances, band members take classes and clinics with music industry professionals and performing artists. Disney describes it as a “once-in-a-lifetime” experience for collegiate musicians.
The band has performed each summer at Disneyland since its founding in 1971, with the exception of 2020 and 2021 when the program was suspended due to COVID. 2023 was to have marked the groups 50th anniversary season, and alumni were eagerly awaiting word of a possible reunion performance.
The reaction to the news was swift, with commentators urging Disney to reconsider the decision. Dozens of former band members spoke of their time in the band as being life-changing, and several said it directly impacted their career path.
Two days after the announcement, The Orange County Register reported that Disney has assembled a project team to restart the All-American College Band program, though no time line was given.

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 and Promotions
Disneyland prices as of October 11, 2022.
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 like MousePlanet travel partner Get Away Today.

Disney usually allows 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.
