Disney has announced that Annual Passholders for the Disneyland Resort will have the chance to win a preview of Toy Story Midway Mania. Just head on over to the AP Website and enter as soon as possible. Winners will be announced by June 2nd. In a nutshell you select the dates you will be available and how many other APs will be in your group and you get put into a drawing. Some of the available dates are during Blockout Days for select APs. Make sure you don’t enter for those days or you will need to buy a Blockout Day Ticket in order to go into California Adventure. Good luck to those who enter!

The official park map from California Adventure finally gives a release date for the new Toy Story Midway Mania set to open this summer. The date printed on the maps is June 17th, 2008. Mark your calendars, this is going to be a good one. Expect lines to be long and the sun to be out. Featured outside of the ride will be an animatronic Mr Potato Head that will interact with guests telling them that they should ride on the new ride. Looks pretty impressive thus far.

In the past week or so Disney has been testing the giant Mr Potato Head and getting some guest reactions while doing it. Right now they are working with pre-recorded comments by Don Rickles (voice of Mr Potato Head from movies). All three videos found on youtube. Enjoy!!!

Disneyland has an amazing VIP package that few people know about. Several things are included in this 6 day (3 at Disneyland) package. Some of the things included are experiences like unlimited fastpasses to select rides, seeing the parade floats in the storage warehouse, a tour of Walt’s original apartment above the fire station, riding Space Mountain with the lights ON, behind the scenes of Indiana Jones and Soarin’, reserved seats for popular shows such as Fantasmic and Aladdin, among other things. Basically, this offer is a DREAM COME TRUE for any fan of Disneyland. This would be the experience of a lifetime! The problem? The special VIP package will set you back a total of about 2-3 thousand dollars per person (depending on time of year). At least you get your hotels and most meals paid for, but that is still a pretty large sum of money.
