PHOTOS: Disney Reveals PIXAR Pier Model for Disney California Adventure, First Look at New Counter Service Establishments

WDWNT on December 21, 2017

Coming summer 2018, Pixar Pier will transform the southern shore of Paradise Bay at Disney California Adventure park with whimsical neighborhoods filled with characters from Pixar stories. Today, Disney is sharing a first look at this transformation through photos of a working model now in use at Walt Disney Imagineering.

Featuring newly themed attractions, foods and merchandise, this area will introduce new neighborhoods representing beloved Pixar stories. The neighborhood inspired by “The Incredibles” will be anchored by the Incredicoaster, which will feature a new mid-century-modern-style loading area inspired by the Parr family home as seen in the upcoming “Incredibles 2.” In the artwork behind the model above, we get an early glimpse at a Toy Story themed attraction with Jessie serving as the marquee, a fast food stand themed to the chicken restaurant from the Toy Story Toons series, Bing Bong inside of his new candy store, and an additional fast food stand (which we couldn’t figure out).

Another of the neighborhoods will be a celebration of many of your favorite Pixar stories. In this neighborhood, each of the 24 gondolas on what is now Mickey’s Fun Wheel will feature different pairs of Pixar pals, and at the Games of the Boardwalk, all of the midway games will be inspired by characters from films such as “a bug’s life,” “WALL·E” and the Pixar short “La Luna.”

Pixar Pier will open summer 2018, during the first-ever Pixar Fest celebration, which begins April 13.

New Auction Shows Where Disney is “Quietly” Liquidating Props from Your Favorite Extinct Attractions, Tower of Terror & More

WDWNT on December 11, 2017

In an upcoming auction, you will have the opportunity to own a recently-discarded piece of Disney theme park history from the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Big Thunder Ranch, or Disneyland’s 60th Diamond Celebration, but how did these pieces get into a third-party auction and why are cast members and park guests not getting in on the action?

Some key Tower of Terror props are going on auction soon

Some key Tower of Terror props are going on auction soon

In recent months and years, Disney has abruptly ended the D23 Expo auction, and noticeably limited the number of attraction props and such that are liquidated through Property Control and Cast Member Auctions at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts. For whatever reason, Disney seems afraid to sell attraction props themselves.

This is becoming a growing issue as they have closed some truly beloved, classic attractions in recent memory, from Maelstrom, to the Universe of Energy, to the Great Movie Ride. Where do all the salvaged props from a closed theme park attraction go? Well, they go to a few places typically, as items can be claimed by Walt Disney Imagineering, the Walt Disney Archives, and then any remaining items can be taken by Property Control, most likely to be sold off at some point in time to cast members, or in rare circumstances, to guests or vendors. Sadly, in recent times, this hasn’t been happening.

On top of this, Disney has seemingly noticed that some secondary market avenues are bringing bigger bucks for these types of “one of a kind” prop items and they now want to get in on the action. Rather than sell these items directly to their cast members or guests as they have done in the past, sources within the Disneyland Resort have indicated that Disney is now consigning these larger, more prominent attraction props through the upcoming “Remembering Disneyland”  auction by Van Eaton Galleries to make more on them and to perhaps avoid backlash from guests and their employees for profiteering on such things. Disney already has taken a lot of flack from fans for closing Tower of Terror in California, so it may not be in their best interest to publicly auction props from the ride themselves. On top of that, Cast Member auctions aren’t exactly the best way to make money on a prop as most cast members aren’t really making a wage where they can afford to blow hundreds of dollars on a lighting fixture from the lobby of the Hollywood Tower Hotel.

Massive props from the California Tower of Terror, too big to "walk away"

Massive props from the California Tower of Terror, too big to “walk away”

width=

In an interview we conducted on Friday, Mike Van Eaton of Van Eaton Galleries denied that Van Eaton auctions works with the Walt Disney Company in any way and stated that they do not sell items acquired directly from Disney, nor do they accept consignment items from them. It would be one heck of a coincidence that all of these Tower of Terror, Big Thunder Ranch, and Diamond Celebration props vanished from the resort and mysteriously landed in one big auction at the same time. Sources within the Disneyland Resort indicate it is likely much more than a coincidence. In our research for this piece, these items were never publicly sold by the Disneyland Resort at their property control facilities, through cast auctions, or anything of the sort. The props, especially those from Tower of Terror, are also far too large and iconic to have “walked away” during the conversion of the ride. They have simply been in storage since the props were removed, and now someone at Disney seems to have decided that a 3rd party auction is the best way to liquidate them for maximum profit and minimum backlash.

In addition to the aforementioned items, the upcoming auction includes over 800 lots of Disneyland memorabilia tracing the history of Disneyland from its opening in 1955 up to present day. The catalog features a number of rarely available items including fascinating internal company documents that cast a light on the decisions, processes, financials, and everything else you might have wondered about Disney theme park operations, as well as rare Disneyland artifacts including cast costumes, a nearly complete collection of Disneyland security badges from all eras, and props and signs from favorite attractions. As in past auctions, Van Eaton noted that they source these items from cast members and private collections of Disney memorabilia.

It is worth mentioning that, in the past, the Walt Disney Company has been very much against the resale of some cast member pieces, such as past and present security costuming and badges from the parks, as well as character costume pieces. In my time working with theme park collectibles, it was not uncommon for Disney to ask or demand that the sale of a security badge or character costume piece be halted due to safety concerns that someone could impersonate a park employee once by procuring one. Needless to say, it would be a pretty large ethical dilemma if Disney was consigning items in an auction catalog alongside these pieces.

While there is certainly some negativity surrounding how this is being handled, we are excited by the prospect of owning an actual piece of some of our favorite, recently-departed attractions, one way or another. What we are not sure of is why Disney has chosen to sell its own memorabilia through a third party. Surely a company of that size really would have no need to share any profits with anyone, right? Also, an advertised auction isn’t the best way to quietly sell off giant pieces of beloved theme park rides.

width=

In recent times, Disney themselves have proven they can do it. Disney knows their customers and they haven’t been afraid of selling memorabilia to the public in the past. The Disney Cast Costume Collection of handbags proves that they’re not afraid to sell “artifacts” from the Parks, or even market them. On top of that, Disney has sold signs and memorabilia at Disney-run auctions, special events, and conventions for over twenty years. Hell, even Universal Orlando has an in-park retail location for the sale of props and signs (and it’s really wonderful, so kudos to them for such a great idea).

What do you think should be done with these pieces?

MARVEL Black Panther Meet and Greet Coming to Disney California Adventure

WDWNT on December 1, 2017

Early next year, “Black Panther” will open in theaters February 16, 2018, and for a limited time, Disney California Adventure park guests will have the opportunity to encounter the king of Wakanda himself, Black Panther.

width=

“Black Panther” follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king — and Black Panther — is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.

No date has been given for Black Panther’s arrival at Disney California Adventure park – so stay tuned. “Black Panther” arrives in theaters February 16, 2018.

REVIEW: Gingerbread Funnel Cake Fries at Award Wieners, Disney California Adventure Holidays 2017

WDWNT on November 20, 2017

Award Wieners in Hollywood Land at Disney California Adventure is currently offering a seasonal specialty.

width=

They don’t light the boards very well in the evening…

New to the menu are Gingerbread Funnel Cake Fries, available through January 7th, 2018.

Gingerbread Funnel Cake Fries ($7.49)

width=

I haven’t had the normal variety of Funnel Cake Fries from Award Wieners, but if they are anything like these, I will have to.

width=

It is what the name implies, Funnel Cake in the shape of fries, in this case with a pretty fantastic gingerbread flavoring. The presence of a sweet icing and whipped cream on top is perfection and the order size is quite large, which it should be at this price point.

I did have to wait about 5 minutes for them to be made, but that also meant they were as fresh and warm as could be.

I can not recommend these enough, please try them if you have the chance!

REVIEW: Giant Yule Log Cronut, Pumpkin Pie Smoothie at Schmoozies, Disney California Adventure Holidays 2017

WDWNT on November 20, 2017

Schmoozies in Hollywood Land at Disney California Adventure is offering a number of seasonal specialties this holiday season. Among them is a Yule Log Holiday Doughnut and Pumpkin Pie Smoothie.

width=

Yule Log Doughnut ($8.99)

width=

I’ve become so desensitized to Disney Parks food prices that I didn’t even think about this being $8.99 when I ordered it. With that being said, I was thus unprepared for the giant pastry I would be handed…

width=

This thing is giant, at least shareable between 3 people (at minimum) if you don’t want to feel like death afterwards. It is also quite good.

width=

It is basically a croissant doughnut (similar to the one we had at Schmoozies for HalloweenTime), but this time a larger version filled with a Pecan Praline cream and covered in chocolate. The exterior is flaky and delicious, the Pecan Praline cream adds a nice flavor, and there’s just enough chocolate on top to make this just about perfect for every bite. Everything is balanced properly and the cream filling is present just enough to not over power all of the other flavors.

If this sounds good to you, then bring a small horde over to the park to share this with you. Or try to eat it all yourself, I won’t judge.

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie ($5.99)

width=

I have had many a smoothie from Schmoozies in my time, and I typically enjoy them quite a bit, but this was horrendous. It didn’t taste like pumpkin pie, but rather as if you were drinking a blended version of the metal tin that the pie came. So yes, there is a pumpkin pie flavor, but it is followed by a strong metallic, or even chemical-like flavor. I had to throw half of this out, and I only drank the other half because I felt bad wasting so much of it.

They’re also serving a Peppermint Malibu Mocha beverage right now, so I would probably go with that if you want a seasonal specialty drink.

BREAKING: California Screamin’ to Become Incredicoaster, Disney Shares Full Plans for PIXAR Pier at California Adventure

WDWNT on November 10, 2017

Summer 2018 will bring a transformed land for guests to experience at Disney California Adventure park when Pixar Pier opens along the southern shore of Paradise Bay, with newly themed attractions, foods and merchandise throughout. This new, permanent land in the area that is now Paradise Pier will introduce four new neighborhoods representing beloved Disney·Pixar stories.

width=

PIXAR PIER (ANAHEIM, Calif.) –Summer 2018 will bring a transformed land when Pixar Pier opens for guests to experience at Disney California Adventure park, featuring the new Incredicoaster inspired by Disney•Pixar’s “The Incredibles.” This artist concept illustrates the four new neighborhoods that will represent beloved Pixar stories and the newly themed attractions that will be found throughout the permanent land of Pixar Pier. (Disney•Pixar)

The first neighborhood is inspired by Disney·Pixar’s “The Incredibles” and it will open in summer 2018 with the Incredicoaster. Permanently transformed from the attraction that is now California Screamin’, Incredicoaster will invite guests into a mid-century-modern-style loading area where they board vehicles with a distinctive, new look. New character moments, new scenes and special effects, and an exciting musical score will connect the attraction’s story to Pixar’s “The Incredibles 2,” which opens in theaters June 14, 2018. To prepare for this transformation, California Screamin’ will close January 8th, 2018.

PIXAR PIER (ANAHEIM, Calif.) – Summer 2018 will bring a transformed land when Pixar Pier opens for guests to experience at Disney California Adventure park, including the new Incredicoaster, inspired by Disney•Pixar’s “The Incredibles.” Pixar Pier also introduces four new neighborhoods representing beloved Pixar stories. This artist concept captures a scene from one of the neighborhoods inspired by “The Incredibles.” Here, guests will find the new Incredicoaster featuring a mid-century-modern-style loading area, new character moments and a new look for the ride vehicles. ( Disney•Pixar)

Toy Story Mania will anchor the “Toy Story”-inspired neighborhood. A neighborhood inspired by “Inside Out” will be found on the western side of the boardwalk and will welcome a new family-friendly attraction, scheduled to open at a later date.

The fourth neighborhood will be a celebration of many Pixar stories. In this neighborhood, Mickey’s Fun Wheel will have a new look, with each of the 24 gondolas featuring different Pixar characters and the iconic face of Mickey Mouse remaining on the Paradise Bay side of the wheel. At the Games of the Boardwalk, which already includes the Bullseye Stallion Stampede game, all of the midway games will be inspired by Pixar characters. New games are expected to include characters from “A Bug’s Life,” “La Luna” and “WALL·E.” Mickey’s Fun Wheel, Games of the Boardwalk and Sideshow Shirts will close January 8th to begin this transformation.

Ariel’s Grotto restaurant and the Cove Bar will be transformed into a new lounge and grill offering sparkling views of Paradise Bay and the new Pixar Pier. Both locations will close January 8th, with Cove Bar reopening briefly in April before closing again for its permanent transformation. Guests wishing to reserve “World of Color” dining packages after January 7th may consider Carthay Circle Restaurant or Wine Country Trattoria.

The remaining areas of the land that is now Paradise Pier, including Paradise Gardens, Silly Symphony Swings, Jumpin’ Jellyfish, Goofy’s Sky School, Golden Zephyr and The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure, will become a new land called Paradise Park.

Pixar Pier will open during the limited-time Pixar Fest celebration, which begins April 13th.

Paint the Night Electrical Parade Return Set For “Summer 2018”, PIXAR Fest

WDWNT on October 13, 2017

At the D23 Expo 2017, Disney announced that Paint the Night would return in 2018 at the Disneyland Resort. As of today, the parade is not slated to debut at California Adventure until Summer 2018.

width=

Next Summer, Disneyland Resort will celebrate PIXAR Fest with the new PIXAR Pier area at California Adventure, the move of the PIXAR Play Parade to Disneyland Park, and a PIXAR fireworks spectacular over Sleeping Beauty Castle. Paint the Night will add a PIXAR-themed float (rumored to be Inside Out) when it returns, now performing during the evenings at Disney California Adventure.

Parks and Resorts Chairman Bob Chapek announced a return for Paint the Night at the D23 Expo in July. The parade has not performed since January 2017.

The long period of darkness for the parade is by design, being used to build up excitement for the 2018 Summer season, a last push to bring in visitors that might have held out on a trip before Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens in 2019. Rumors also persist that World of Color will go dark next Summer for a massive refurbishment and overhaul while Paint the Night fills-in at DCA.

Pumpkin Churros Drive Into Cars Land for Haul-O-Ween at Disney California Adventure

WDWNT on September 27, 2017

Disneylanders love their churros, and now there’s a new flavor of churro to love for a limited time at the Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land.

width=

The pumpkin churro is available for a limited time during the Haul-O-Ween celebration now through October 31st at the park. Available at Cone 1, the treat didn’t even have a real sign yet when we first discovered it. It is priced at $4.50.

width=

How is it? Well, I’m not the biggest fan of pumpkin flavored snacks nor churros, so I was surprised and delighted when I enjoyed this one. The pumpkin flavor wasn’t overpowering and the churros tasted like it was fresh out of the oven.

width=

The bad news is that this line can get quite long, but Cone 1 does open a little earlier than some of the others for the early morning breakfast hours. My tip would be to get their early and get this for a sweet breakfast treat.

REVIEW: Halloween Marshmallow Cronut, Mummy Macaron, & Candy Apple Smoothie at Schmoozies

WDWNT on September 27, 2017

Schmoozies, located in Hollywood Land at Disney California Adventure, is offering three specialty items for Halloween Time now through October 31st.

width=

width=

MonsterMallow Doughnut ($5.49)

width=

A croissant doughnut with marshmallow filling, this is large enough for a small family to share. I absolutely loved the marshamallow filling and the “cronut” was soft, flaky, and delicious.

width=

Mummy Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich ($6.49)

width=

This item is a almond macaron with dark chocolate, drizzled with white chocolate and filled with rainbow sherbet. This is an absolute must-order as the flavors all compliment each other perfectly. While rainbow sherbet doesn’t seem very Halloween-themed, it was the prefect companion to the almond and white chocolate pastry. Be sure to grab lots of napkins, because this thing can be a bit messy.

Caramel Apple Smoothie ($5.99)

width=

It is what it is titled, a smoothie flavored like a caramel apple. While light on the caramel, it has a really pleasant apple flavor with just a hint of the caramel flavoring.

Overall, all 3 of these are worth ordering, so make sure that you stop by Schmoozies at Disney California Adventure during HalloweenTime!

HALLOWEEN TIME AT THE DISNEYLAND RESORT (ANAHEIM, Calif.) – A spell is cast during Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort as more spooky fun expands into Disney California Adventure Park this year. Along Buena Vista Street, guests will enjoy Halloween decorations in store windows and in Carthay Circle, they’ll see a new 10-foot-tall statue of the Headless Horseman himself, holding up his jack-o’-lantern head to the sky. New, themed background music further creates the appropriately eerie, but still fun, mood. (Disney California Adventure Park)
