Just thought I’d post a list of some upcoming events at Disneyland:
September 3-5 – Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend. Events include the Health and Fitness Expo on Friday and Saturday, the Family Fun Run 5K and Kids Races on Saturday, and then the Half Marathon on Sunday. All Ears Team members Deb Wills, Cathy Bock, and Lee and I will all be participating in the half marathon. There will be a meet and greet on Saturday at 9:00 a.m. – see /btp/teammeets.htm for more information – hope to see you there!
September 17 to October 31, 2010 – Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort. I have to say this is one of my favorite times of year – the parks are really festive with lots of pumpkins and decor in autumn colors. New this year, the hard-ticketed Halloween party moves from DCA to Disneyland, where it also gets a new name: Mickey’s Halloween Party. Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy and Haunted Mansion Holiday return to Disneyland, and at DCA’s Twilight Zone Tower of Terror guests might encounter some new “phantom patrons” of the hotel.
September 24-26 – D23’s Destination D Event and Scavenger Hunt – Destination D takes place Friday and Saturday at the Disneyland Hotel Convention Center. And the Scavenger Hunt on Sunday? Who knows! Sounds like it’ll take us all over the resort! Deb Wills, Jeanine Yamanaka, Lee and I will comprise the All Ears Team for that event. There will be two Meet and Greets – one on Thursday afternoon and one on Saturday morning. Again, see the see All Ears Team Meets page for more information.
October 15 – Rapunzel, from the upcoming animated feature Tangled, will begin greetings guests in the Fantasyland location formerly occupied by Gepetto’s Sweet Shoppe.
November 12-January 2 – Holidays at the Disneyland Resort, including all of the perennial favorites: Holiday “it’s a small world”, A Christmas Fantasy Parade, Santa’s Reindeer Roundup, Sleeping Beauty Winter Castle, and the magical Believe…in Holiday Magic fireworks show. And it’s also fun to see what special holiday food treats the Disneyland chefs will come up with!
April 29 – June 11, 2011 – Disney’s California Food and Wine Festival returns for the sixth annual festival. (Another of my favorite events!) If you’re a DVC member like me and want to stay in the Villas at the Grand Californian during your visit to the Festival, starting thinking about your booking dates!
Also coming up next year, we have the opening of Star Tours – The Adventures Continue at Disneyland, and The Little Mermaid – Ariel’s Undersea Adventure, at DCA.
This isn’t specifically Disneyland, but the Disney Wonder will move to its new home at the port of Los Angeles in January, where it will be be sailing to the Mexican Riviera, and later to Alaska. A number of All Ears Team Members and readers will be on the Inaugural Alaska cruise which begins on May 3 in Vancouver. If you’d like to join us, there’s more information HERE.
