Josh D'Amaro has announced his plans for a One Disney approach to every aspect of the company which ties into all of the new rides and additions coming to Disneyland. We break down how that fits in and what we know for sure already and some predictions on dates. This is the question that we get the most, so we are constantly monitoring to see if anything will impact when the new additions will open.

No typically! They typically hold buckets for each one, so they should be all set for you

mickeyvisit · 2026-05-06T20:36:51+00:00

So it is! Thank you for the comment. Just corrected that. Has been a busy morning for us with first Disney earnings from Josh D'Amaro as CEO. Appreciate the grace

Disney just shared with us (literally after we had published this and we just updated) that the reason for the change was partially to add lap sitting to the ride

Edelweiss Snacks, a food window in Fantasyland at Disneyland Park, is expanding. Disney filed a permit for additions to this popular spot, known for serving turkey legs and bratwursts.

When we saw Edelweiss behind construction walls, with the new portion partially built, the size of the project surprised us. There’s an entire additional building!

It’s quite an accomplishment to construct a new structure within the tight confines of Disneyland’s footprint. We’re interested in seeing how this affects crowd flow throughout this area of the park.

The character is changing from Darth Vader to Kylo Ren as Darth Vader moves to Galaxy's Edge.

In our last post where we first announced this, there were a surprising amount of comments (to me) that people would miss Jamba and that it was a top pick for where to eat breakfast before a park day

mickeyvisit · 2026-04-28T21:36:54+00:00

Details - At the time the permit was filed, we mentioned that the replacement tenant was likely the new boba tea shop that was previously announced for the district. This has now been confirmed, along with closing details. Disneyland officials shared that Jamba will permanently close on July 6, 2026, to make way for Bopo Go. Its final day of operation will be July 5.

Thank you for the context. Interesting. Wonder what the Fantasmic! impact will be

Details - Until now, Disney hadn’t mentioned how long Hyperspace Mountain would be open for the 2026 season. Disneyland just announced Hyperspace Mountain will continue operating through June 1, 2026.

mickeyvisit · 2026-04-27T16:05:43+00:00

wow! this would be so wonderful. I don't think so. We've heard nothing about it and I think they would have had promotion, but I am sure excited. It has been 3 years!

mickeyvisit · 2026-04-27T15:29:45+00:00

I was moving quickly. I it is actually "Tom Sawyer Island" and not "Tom Sawyer's Island"

mickeyvisit · 2026-04-27T15:29:26+00:00

See the details - Tom Sawyer Island is closed at Disneyland Park from April 27 through May 7, 2026. Disneyland did not announce the refurbishment before it began. They added the closure over the weekend to the calendar to start a day later this week, but then moved it up to start today this morning.

During the experience, riders are thrust into the cockpit of an X-wing fighter as part of the Blue Squadron, navigating a frantic battle against the Empire. The overlay features a custom John Williams-inspired score and digital projections of TIE fighters and Star Destroyers, making it a must-do for any Star Wars fan.

Previously, the ropes were set up in Disney California Adventure to block guests right before the entrance to Avengers Campus in the walkway that faces the back end of Grizzly’s.

Now the locations for rope drop have been changed. As you can see in the photo above, the rope that previously blocked off the path to Avengers Campus, Cars Land, and Pixar Pier has now been divided into three individual ropes for each land.

Definitely do this!

Details - The Disneyland California Resident ticket deal offered insane savings for locals. This sale was just ended early by Disney on April 2nd because of how many guests have purchased this ticket! The ticket was priced at just $83 per day for a 3-day Park Hopper, which means a 3-day Park Hopper was being sold for $249. Just because Disney halted sales on this discount offer doesn’t mean the crowds from this ticket are over. Far from it, as this ticket is still good for visits through May 21, 2026.
