If you were waiting to get a Magic Key to Disneyland, the time has passed. Magic Key sales are once again locked and not able to be purchased for new Key holders. Existing Magic Key holders can renew their passes still. Who knows when they will go on sale again, as they have gone back and fourth over the last couple of years. – https://www.micechat.com/420220-disneyland-news-oswald-refurbishments/

There are currently two attractions down in Fantasyland with some ehancements on the way. Storybook Land Canal Boats and Casey Jr. are both down for refurbishment, with permits from the city of Anaheim allowing for the installation of a new 10ft max height show element, and two aluminum tube trellis arches. No official word on what could be coming, but MiceChat thinks it may be a Tangled tower and a floating lantern archway. – https://www.micechat.com/420220-disneyland-news-oswald-refurbishments/

There is a lot going on in Downtown Disney! Sunglass Icon and Sephora have closed, likely for refurbishments. The Lego store has some external construction of new Lego elements in the works. The old ESPN Zone building continues its transformation for Lululemon, a boba shop called Bopo Go, and possibly an unconfirmed Funko store. Earl of Sandwich has once again remained open past the closing date, pushing Portos further down the line. – https://www.micechat.com/420220-disneyland-news-oswald-refurbishments/

The painting features Walt and Mickey, Sleeping Beauty Castle with fireworks, Matterhorn Mountain, Jungle Cruise, the Mark Twain Riverboat, Haunted Mansion, and so much more.
