In recent interviews, Ed Grier (Disneyland Resort President) talked about upcoming plans for the resort. He talked about several things that were already known such as the cars expansion in DCA, re-theming areas in DCA, etc. But there IS some new news in this afterall! Two brand new things are talked about while one semi-new and pretty much been expected topic. Check it out…

*Tinkerbell - Disneyland will open a Tinkerbell Attraction this fall. What does this mean? Well, an attraction can be anything from a small character greet (which some sites are reporting for Tink) to a full on ride. No other details were released besides some attraction will be opening in ‘08 with the release of the first of a straight to DVD series staring Tinkerbell.

*The Garden Walk - Disney is looking into getting two hotels in this area. This would give them a slice of cake for this new shopping, hotel, and dining district located just down the street from the Disneyland Resort.

*Third Theme Park - It was hinted during this interview with this quote: “We do see a tremendous opportunity on our 88 acres of land.” So who knows if he is talking about in the actual DLR block or down the street like the previous aerial photo shows. If this ever DOES happen, don’t expect it to be anytime soon.

After Disneyland has extended the Year of a Million Dreams celebration, Alaska Air has decided to do the same. Kids will continue to fly free to Disneyland this year! All you will need to do is book your vacation by May 31st, 2008. Travel dates can be as late as September, 2008. It’s always interesting to see companies do promotions hand in hand like this! On top of flying free they are offering 2 extra days on your park hopper if you get three or more. The old deal was simply more than three days. To summarize… Kids fly free, pay for 3 days of Disneyland and get 5. Sounds good to me.

Don’t have a chance to visit that often? Well here is a nice collection of current pics from Miceage. The collection has multiple Disney Parks, the Disneyland Resort is about halfway down after Disney World. This collection includes some picutres of Toontown, Pirates, Star Wars, Pixar Parade, etc. Sometimes it is nice to see a bunch of recent pictures when there has not been much news to report on as of lately. Enjoy!

Disneyland has been giving amazing fastpasses that are good for ANY attraction (that has a fastpass system) ANY number of times on the day of the visit to certain VIPs. Who are these VIPs and why do they get these magic passes? These are mainly celebrities or other high profile people that would cause a crowd and a problem if recognized while waiting in the standard line. Going through fastpass line gives these people (often accompanied by their own body guards) less time to be noticed. They didn’t ask for the solution to be magic and wonderful, it just is. Well, for them anyway. How do you get your hands on one of these golden tickets? Become so popular that just by your presence in a normal line would cause chaos (that isn’t your fault). Yeah, that should do it.
