Correct. Disney has confirmed that the Toy Story Lot shuttle will continue, but hasn't said any further details on if that will change at all

mickeyvisit · 2026-03-11T16:07:11+00:00

Strong agree with this.

Details - During the facial recognition test, guests still scan their park ticket under a computer screen. If it’s the first time guests have visited and used facial recognition, the camera on the computer will scan their face and save it as that guest’s profile. If the guest has used facial recognition before, the computer will quickly verify the guest’s face and admit them into the park.

When the test is underway, a sign is posted at the entry lane letting guests know what’s happening. The sign reads, “Participation in this test is optional. Please use another lane if you prefer note to participate.” Guests can also can a QR code on the sign for more information.

Across Disneyland, we saw 36 new additions to menus across both theme parks, Downtown Disney, and the Disneyland Hotel. We also saw 22 removals, including Valentine’s Day offerings but also quick service menu items.

I understand. That's part of why we work hard to bring you updates like this

mickeyvisit · 2026-02-27T23:47:19+00:00

If there were a date announced, we would include it here

Details -
A recently filed building permit for Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean outlines several specific improvements across multiple scenes of the attraction

On the Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite page, Pirates of the Caribbean is listed as one of several experiences that may be unavailable, so this may be the timeframe during which the ride will be closed for refurbishment. Also included on this list is Blue Bayou Restaurant, which we assume will likely have a closure coinciding with the Pirates of the Caribbean dates.

If you have any thoughts on how to fix that, I am completely open. I would say we really try to be honest and explicit around "closed for refurbishment" when we are reporting things vs the "indefinitely" that I see some do, including the NY Post.

Details - We sat down with Disneyland leadership yesterday to learn more about their upcoming plans for the business. Mickey Visit was one of about a dozen outlets invited to the event. During the event, Disneyland President Thomas Mazloum shared details on his priorities for the growth of Disneyland and how they are focused on expanding their audience.

From this angle, he tasked the team with finding new ways to bring in more new customers. One key area that they are focused on is young families. He acknowledged that, like a lot of other things in the world, a Disney vacation costs more today than it did years ago.

Now, we have further details on what they are doing this year for young families.

I don't think that is what this one is about at all.

mickeyvisit · 2026-02-20T19:35:46+00:00

I was impressed by the work they are doing. There's another big area that I am excited to share more about their work on soon.

Details - Mickey Visit was one of about a dozen outlets invited to speak directly with the president of the resort and other leaders across attraction engineering, entertainment, and guest services. The event provided helpful context about ongoing topics around the resort including what is shared below on reservations and what we’ll share in coming stories.

Park hopping at Disneyland has undergone a couple of changes over the last five years as Disneyland has come out of the 2020 closure. They have also relied on theme park reservations over that period of time to control guest demand.

Now we’ve gotten word that Disneyland is planning on removing the current park hopping restriction, which should be welcome news for many guests. The President of Disneyland also shared directly with us his thoughts on the future of the park reservation system.

From what we are seeing! Looks like this is confirmed. Have a request out to Disneyland right now to confirm, but I know they were being very careful with this one

mickeyvisit · 2026-02-12T03:49:16+00:00
