News:

As the march towards the launch of Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary continues, the Disney Parks Blog posted an update for the celebration. The new “Walt Disney - A Magical Life” attraction has been delayed until the official birthday of July 17th. Rumors have suggested that they have some more tweaking of the show to make it perfect for guests. - https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/disneyland-70th-anniversary-new-experiences-main-street-usa/

In addition to the new show, the lobby of the Opera House will have an experience featuring the evolution of Walt’s dream for Disneyland. Images, art, and artifacts - some never seen before - will be on display. The next area will be dedicated to the story and history of Audio-Animatronics. Finally, some artifacts from the Walt Disney Family Museum will be on display, including items from Walt’s apartment, humanitarian accolades, and more! - https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/disneyland-70th-anniversary-new-experiences-main-street-usa/

After leaving the “Walt Disney - A Magical Life” show, the exit lobby will show previews of projects and how Disneyland will move forward in the years ahead. - https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/disneyland-70th-anniversary-new-experiences-main-street-usa/

Also announced was a fairly major update to “it’s a small world.” Shortly before Richard Sherman, who, along with his brother Robert, wrote many songs and lyrics to classic Disney tunes, passed away last year, he wrote a new verse for the iconic song in the attraction. This new verse will debut in the attraction starting July 17th. If you want to hear Richard tell you all about it, you can watch “The Last Verse,” a short film we have linked in the show notes. This short film will also be playing in the Main Street Cinema for the 70th Anniversary. - https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/disneyland-70th-anniversary-new-experiences-main-street-usa/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fKUnhAIVp0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DerN_lPryRA

Guests who brave Disneyland in the rain are getting a little extra magic recently. When it rains, the parade is usually replaced by a “rainy day cavalcade.” Currently, there is no parade running, but the cavalcade is! So, if you want a little extra entertainment for your Disney dollars, a rainy day could be a good option. - https://www.micechat.com/409435-disneyland-update-stormy-skies-rising-moons-delayed-debuts/

With the premiere of Captain America: Brave New World, new food, drink, and merchandise arrived in Avenger’s Campus. At Pym Test Kitchen, you can pick up a Red Gamma Gulp, which is a red velvet cold brew with cream cheese cold foam, or a Red Rage Wings, which are spicy wings tossed in habanero sauce and served with potato bites and ranch dressing. At the Pym Tasting Lab, there is a Liberty Punch, a Litmus Lemonade with blue Hawaiian and topped with citrus meringue foam. At Schwarma Too, a pepperoni and cheese pizza pocket is available. Both have mozzarella, house-made marinara sauce, and wrapped in empanada dough. Finally, there is a Captain America Shield Sipper at Pym Test Kitchen. - https://www.micechat.com/409435-disneyland-update-stormy-skies-rising-moons-delayed-debuts/

An unexpected, but welcome update has come to Snow White’s Wishing Well. The roof of the well has been taken down and appears to be returning after a refurbishment. - https://www.micechat.com/409435-disneyland-update-stormy-skies-rising-moons-delayed-debuts/
