Yet Another Earthquake Update

WDWNT on January 1, 1970

The OC Register have been posting updates on the earthquake & its affects on the Disneyland Resort all day today. Complaints were many, as apparently the line to complain at City Hall stretched all the way down to the Penny Arcade!

Attractions in Disneyland started re-opening just before 1pm, with the first attractions re-opening being the Jungle Cruise, Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes, & the Sailing Ship Columbia. Over at Disney’s California Adventure, most attractions were re-opened by 12:30pm, with the exception of California Screamin’, the Maliboomer, Grizzly River Run, & Soarin’ Over California.

By 3:15pm, all attractions but 3 at the Resort were re-opened, those three being Grizzly River Run (due to the water level sensors), the Maliboomer (as it can’t test while the park is open for some reason), & the Disneyland Monorail (as it was still testing then, however it should of re-opened by now).

Be sure to check the article on the OC Register to see if they get anymore updates on the status of the Disneyland Resort!

BREAKING NEWS: All Disneyland Rides Evacuated

WDWNT on January 1, 1970

Southern California is currently experiencing a relatively major Earthquake, 5.8 on the richter scale. According to the Eyewitness News program on abc7, Disneyland have taken a precautionary measure, & have evacuated all rides, as well as the hotels. I presume the stores & restaurants also have been evacuated. All guests are waiting around outside at the current moment.

abc7’s website has the following:

CHINO HILLS (KABC) — A magnitude 5.8 earthquake hit late Tuesday morning two miles southwest of Chino Hills in San Bernardino County.

The jolt was felt from Los Angeles to San Diego, and slightly in Las Vegas. It caused buildings to sway and triggered some precautionary evacuations. Ten aftershocks occurred in the next dozen minutes, including three estimated at 3.8.

No damage or injuries have been reported as a result of the earthquake.

The quake struck at 11:42 a.m. PDT. Buildings swayed in downtown Los Angeles and San Diego for several seconds.

Stay tuned to Disneyland News Today to find out when the rides will be re-opened, & various other updates we get on this Earthquake & it’s effects on Disneyland.

The It’s a Small World Toy Shop has come out from behind tarps with a fresh coat of paint, but is still closed to guests


The metal portion of the Tomorrowland marque got repainted a lighter tan & dark brown scheme


The back of this globe used to be blue


The Indiana Jones Summer of Hidden Mysteries photo-op now has a sign, just in case people aren’t aware that the boulder is to take photos with

Play Midway Mania at Home!

WDWNT on January 1, 1970

If you head on over to the official Toy Story Mania website, you’ll now find four games you can play that are very similar to the games in the real Toy Story Midway Mania. While the four games feature different themes from the games in the attractions, they feature secret targets and ammunition multipliers, giving hints to the existence of similar targets in the ride-through version. You can also create your own midway game by using the game creator on the site. Now what are you waiting for, go play!!!

Here are a few more shots of the Innoventions Dream Home


Plaza Pavilion behind tarps


Now let’s take a look at the Indiana Jones Summer of Hidden Mysteries!

The new, awesome, Secret of the Stone Tiger show in the Oasis


The theater for the show itself looks awesome (first time I’d been in the Oasis)


After the show, Indy battles a bad guy through-out Adventureland


Moving outside of Disneyland for a brief moment… The Anaheim GardenWalk is now somewhat open. Once it’s fully open, we’ll bring you coverage of this new mall that could affect the future of the Disneyland Resort!


Now going back over to Toy Story Midway Mania… Take a look at the difference in theming here! TSMM’s amazing theming makes Paradise Pier look even worse now!


Here’s a few more of the posters from in the TSMM queue


My score on my second ride (85,900 in case it’s too blurry to see)


I loved this shirt so much, that I bought it!


A couple of the posters from the queue are available for $35 each


This poster is behind the cash register in Midway Mercantile


The walls are down from the Grizzly River Run waterwheel, but the tarps are still up


Here’s another look at the new seating for Award Wieners


Apparently they were filming parts of the Pixar Play Parade


Later in the day (Wednesday) they were filming Mr. Potato Head


Midway Mania sure does look beautiful at night!


Moving on to my last day… When I entered Mickey & Friends, I was given an Adventure Roadmap!


The Roadmap gives you 8 extremely easy questions


The new billboards advertising Toy Story “Midway” Mania at the Mickey & Friends Tram Station


Green Army Men in the Esplanade letting guests know that TSMM is in DCA, not Disneyland


Wall-E & Eve from the movie Wall-E are available to purchase


The Haunted Mansion was closed all day yesterday for some reason


My score on my 3rd ride (I’m on the right, my father beat me!)


Another example of how great TSMM’s theming is compared to the rest of the Pier


For some reason, they’ve been sold out on the Mickey Mouse Pretzels for quite a while now


Bust Baby!

That’s going to do it for this DLR Pictorial. Stay tuned to the Image Galleries for more & bigger versions of these pictures (some are already up)!
