Iconic Disney Attraction Leaves Guests Stuck for Hours

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

A popular Disneyland attraction recently broke down, and Guests were stuck for hours.

Disneyland is a world-renowned theme park located in Anaheim, California. Opened in 1955, it was the first of the Disney Parks and is often referred to as “The Happiest Place on Earth.” Disneyland Resort has two theme parks Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. Disney Parks sees thousands of Guests daily.

Disneyland Park is divided into eight themed areas, each with its own unique attractions and experiences. These areas include Main Street, U.S.A., Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, New Orleans Square, Critter Country, and recently opened Mickey’s Toontown.

One of the most popular areas of the park is Fantasyland, where guests can experience classic Disney fairy tales and ride iconic attractions such as “it’s a small world” “Peter Pan’s Flight,” and Matterhorn Bobsleds.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

A iconic Disneyland Park attraction has been dealing with issues, delays, and errors while Guests are waiting and on the attraction. “it’s a small world” has been around since its debut at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. This attraction takes guests on a gentle boat ride through various regions of the world while accompanied by the famous Sherman Brothers song, “It’s a Small World (After All).”

The attraction features over 300 audio-animatronic dolls representing different cultures and ethnicities, dressed in traditional clothing, and singing the famous song in their native language. The dolls move and dance to the music, creating a charming and whimsical experience. Guests can also spot Peter Pan and Tinker Bell in England, Cinderella in her native France, Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket in Italy, Aladdin and Jasmine in the Middle East, The Three Caballeros in Mexico, Ariel and Flounder under the sea, Lilo and Stitch in the South Pacific and Woody, Bullseye and Jessie in the southwestern U.S.A.

The ride’s scenery and set design are also impressive, featuring iconic landmarks and architectural styles from various regions around the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. Guests can spot the Eiffel Tower, the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, and the Egyptian pyramids, among other landmarks.

In a recent TikTok, Guests that were enjoy a ride on “it’s a small world” when it comes to a halt and the music stops playing. In the video you can hear Guests calling for help.

Disneyland Park closes at 11:00 p.m. or 12:00 a.m. depending on the day, meaning these Guests who were trapped on the ride for hours and didn’t get off until 12:45 a.m. got a special experience to see the Park well after it closed. Though they didn’t get to stay the entire night, it was probably pretty cool to be able to stay overnight for a bit in the theme park and see what it looks like basically empty.

While in the video you can see Cast Members giving high fives and trying to cheer Guests back up after being stuck for so long. Cast Members do their best at keep Disney magic alive and the safety of Guests are their top priority.

Another Disney Influencer Speaks Up About “Attack”

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

Via DisDining.com

Disneyland Resort is known the “Happiest Place on Earth,” but another Disney Influencer recently came out about an “attack” that was witnessed at Princess Nite.

Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort see thousands of Guests daily. With this number of Guests, anything can happen. Guests have been spotted cussing out Disney Cast Members, fighting with other Disney Guests in line, and much more.

While this is not how Disney wants Guests to think of their Parks, some Guests try and ruin Disney magic for everyone. Disneyland Resort is known for having two theme parks Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park.

On March 7 and March 9, Guests could experience the Disneyland After Dark series as “Princess Nite After Hours.” Disneyland will also be hosting another event called. Disneyland After Dark: Throwback Nite on April 18 and 20, 2023. Disneyland and Disney World are known for having events for Guests to enjoy during different points of the year.

Disney Dining covered the first Disney influencer who came out about being allegedly attacked at Disneyland’s Princess Nite. Disney influencer, Justin Scarred, went on TikTok and YouTube to talk about him reportedly being “attacked.” While he could not share many details, the second person in this “attack” has decided to speak out.

Popular Disney influencer Spencer Emmons shared in a Youtube video that he wanted to “set the record straight” on what happened during the confrontation with Justin Scarred at Disneyland. Spencer made a YouTube, saying that Scarred got in his face and then yelled for him to get out of his face. While this “attack” happened over a question that Spencer asked, the Disney influencer states he was not the aggressor in this situation and the story that Justin Scarred is putting out is incorrect. He says the heated situation lasted maybe 20 or 30 seconds. He added that what is important that there was never a physical confrontation and that no one was in any danger. This situation ended on good terms with a handshake, he said.

The details that Justin Scarred previously shared do not match what was shared by Emmons, meaning that there are conflicting reports.

Disney Cast Member Finds Abandoned Newborn In Park

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

Disney Cast Members were notified when a newborn baby was left unattended, and parents were nowhere in sight.

Disneyland is where Guests go to make memories that will last a lifetime. Disneyland Resort is known as “The Happiest Place on Earth.”

Being known as the “Happiest Place on Earth” Guests expect to spot happy Guests, make good memories, and experience magical attractions and entertainment offerings.

Disney Parks are located all over the world and see thousands of Guests daily. Guest heading to Orlando, Florida may enjoy Disney World, including four theme parks: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Across the country on the Pacific coast, Disneyland Resort includes two theme parks Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park.

With Disneyland sees thousands of Guests bringing families, friends, and others. Children can easily get lost in crowds.

In a TikTok, one Guest spotted a newborn baby that was reportedly left unattended for over 20 minutes crying. They couldn’t find the parents, and in the video, it says she came back and “acted as if nothing happened.”

@itsamandag_

She left! They couldnt find the mom and she came back like nothing 20 MINUTES LATER security was alerted and were waiting for her #disney #disneyland #disneycaliforniaadventure #dca #disneyworld @disneyparks this needs more than just a scold by security!!!

When watching the TikTok, you can see a Disney Cast Member stopping the mother and, most likely, asking her questions pertaining to the incident.

Guest

While we do not know how this ended, we are glad the parents finally made their way back to the baby. And in the future, we hope others will have a reminder to never leave their children unattended, even if it is for a few minutes.

If you see a missing or lost child, or a child that has been left unattended, go find your nearest Disney Cast Member, and they will handle finding the parents, and taking the child to safety.

Disney Parents or Guardians may want to look into safety tips like adding a phone number or tag to children or placing them in a stroller or baby leash when trying to get through large crowds to help prevent missing or lost children inside Disney Parks.

Disney CEO Bob Iger Hints at Huge Disney Park Expansion

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

Did a recent statement made by Disney CEO Bob Iger hint at a massive Disney Park expansion in the near future, on par with the existing Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, but the end of DisneylandForward?

With the success of new additions to Walt Disney World, such as Magic Kingdom’s TRON Lightcycle / Run, Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and the highly anticipated World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland, the next big question on Disney fans minds is: “Will Disneyland get that?” While the original Disneyland Park remains a classic, and Disney California Adventure offers one-of-a-kind experiences, such as Avengers Campus, in its own right, many Guests prefer Walt Disney World when choosing a vacation destination.

Simply based on the property’s size alone, Guests see it as a stronger investment compared to the Disneyland Resort for longer stays, assuming perhaps that with more square footage and two additional gates come more opportunities for entertainment. As a result, Disney Parks has looked into expanding the Disneyland Resort, looking for more space to both dream up new content and clone existing successes for a West Coast market in the US.

Indeed, the Southern California theme park’s smaller stature results in unique limitations, particularly when in comes to new construction, due to both limited additional space and restrictions from the City of Anaheim which regulate which types of expansion Disney could undertake in a specific area of its property. In fact, Disney proposed the DisneylandForward project a few years ago, looking to renegotiate previous approvals from decades past which segregate land based on function (Retail, Theme Park, or Hotel) to allow for new interdisciplinary experiences, or even a third gate, within existing space owned by the corporation.

Announced at the D23 Expo, the lobbying would end the separation of district zones for the Walt Disney Company, even expanding its Park sphere into the current Downtown Disney District. Moreover, Walt Disney Imagineering previously discussed building an immersive Resort Hotel, while Disneyland President Ken Potrock mentioned an all-new theme park following a united storyline, similar to Fantasy Springs, Zootopia, or Pandora’s Avatar experience.

Additionally, Disney Parks Experiences and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro said in an interview that he remains “very excited about the prospects of what DisneylandForward can mean for the Disneyland Resort – more opportunities to tell more amazing stories, etc.” through immersive retail and dining. However, Anaheim has yet to greenlight the “multiyear public planning effort,” leaving Disney Parks & Resorts to battle “inflexible” district/zoning procedures.

But, has Disney moved past the need for renegotiation? For instance, Iger himself seemed to hint at future expansion of the Disney brand… But did not mention DisneylandForward or Anaheim by name while at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference. As reported by CinemaBlend, Iger stated:

Certainly in Florida, we have a lot of property. We have a lot of opportunity outside the United States. We actually have more opportunity in California than people are aware.

While D’Amaro noted DisneylandForward hasn’t progressed, the Palm Springs-based Cotino community, part of the larger Storyliving by Disney endeavor alludes to future potential outside of the Anaheim Resort for the themed entertainment company in such a large state.
