What a line up on the way. There’s clearly so much to see and taste at the festival this year!
There’s no limit to the delicious adventures guests can have at Disney Parks, particularly during a festival.
(Note: All offerings are subject to change and availability.)
Patrick Mahomes, the phenomenal Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, is about to embark on an exhilarating post-Super Bowl adventure at Disneyland Park. After an awe-inspiring performance, leading his team to a resounding triumph, Mahomes is ready to let loose and revel in the magic of Disneyland.
Boldly clad in his iconic red and gold Chiefs jersey, Mahomes is set to spend the day at Disneyland Resort with his wife, Brittany Mahomes, and two daughters. A grand cavalcade has been meticulously orchestrated in his honor, as the park wholeheartedly embraces the celebration of his momentous victory. Fans, both young and old, eagerly gather along Main Street USA, brimming with anticipation for the appearance of the football superstar. However, some fans worry that his return might bring up old trauma from the year prior.
Disneyland Park, known for its magical atmosphere and enchanting attractions, has always been the perfect backdrop for extraordinary events, and welcoming Patrick Mahomes to bask in his well-deserved Super Bowl glory is no exception. This iconic theme park, nestled in the heart of Southern California, has played host to numerous champions, celebrities, and noteworthy figures throughout its storied history.
The Super Bowl cavalcade, a cherished tradition among Disney Parks enthusiasts, serves as a joyous showcase of triumph and triumphantly celebrates the achievement of extraordinary individuals like Patrick Mahomes. The pageantry and excitement that accompany this event are unparalleled, with colorful floats, energetic performances, and roars of applause from adoring fans filling the air. It is a testament to the longstanding partnership between The Walt Disney Company and the National Football League that has captivated hearts and inspired countless dreams over the years.
However, many cannot forget Patrick’s less-than-magical experience at the theme park last year.
Patrick Mahomes will be at Disneyland today to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs winning the Super Bowl. Mahomes will be featured in a cavalcade on the parade route from "it's a small world" to Main Street U.S.A starting at 2 p.m. PT. pic.twitter.com/W8koCiIG6b
Last year, while reminiscing on his trip to Disneyland, Mahomes mentioned that he found some of Disney’s rides to be quite extreme for children. One ride, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, was especially terrifying for the quarterback. Mahomes said;
“It was actually pretty crazy, It caught me by surprise a couple of times. I thought it was, like, a kids’ ride how it was set up, and all of a sudden, I’m flying around in this place, and I’m like, ‘how do y’all let little kids on this thing?’”
Hopefully, Mahomes has a more positive experience when he is at the theme park this year.
In the midst of the cavalcade’s jubilant atmosphere, it is worth reflecting upon the significance of Disney Parks as a backdrop for celebrating champions. Through the decades, this beloved institution has perfected the art of creating magical moments that transcend the boundaries of imagination. It serves as a reminder that dreams do come true, regardless of age or background, and that anyone, including the likes of Patrick Mahomes, can achieve greatness through determination, perseverance, and unwavering belief in their abilities.
There is almost nothing you can’t find on Amazon — from food to household products, back-to-school supplies, clothes, and everything in between. One woman named Molly went on Amazon looking for some hair bows to complete her Disney look.
She found the perfect bows and placed the order. However, when she received her highly anticipated bow, she realized Amazon had made a mistake. Instead of sending her the two bows that she ordered — one blue, one pink — Amazon sent her 40 bows.
Yes, 40 bows!
Now, some people may receive an order like that and think, “What am I going to do with all these bows?” However, Molly is not like some people.
She attempted to return the bows to Amazon, but they told her to keep them. That’s when she knew that she could use them to make some truly magical memories.
On her next trip to the Disneyland Resort, Molly — known as Magically_Molly on TikTok — brought the bows with her and spent the day handing them out to both Guests and Cast Members, brightening their days.
You can watch Molly’s interactions in the video she created below. Warning: you may want to get the tissues because, between the excitement of those who receive the gifts and the music she put with the video, you may find yourself getting misty-eyed.
There seems to be a lot of negativity happening at the Parks right now — with brawls breaking out in Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World and a screaming match taking place as a tram was ready to depart for the Ticket and Transportation Center.
While it can be easy to get down and think that things won’t get better, it’s important to remember that there are people out there who believe in the magic of Disney and want to spread that magic to others.
If you are looking for more feel-good stories, you can read about Miss Ellie Honeybee — a young girl who frequently visits Disneyland Resort with her family.
Ellie and her family want to make Cast Members feel appreciated, so they bring flowers with them to hand out to Cast Members, both surprising them and bringing a smile to their faces.
PETA is demanding that animal-themed carousels like those found at Magic Kingdom and Disneyland Park become a thing of the past, as the organization says that such attractions are harmful to animals because they teach children to disrespect animals and go so far as to celebrate that disrespect.
On Monday, PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, sent a written request to the president and CEO of the largest manufacturer of rides in the United States, Wichita, Kansas-based Chance Rides, in an effort to stop the manufacturer from producing animal-themed carousels.
The letter, addressed to Aaron Landrum and written by PETA president Ingrid Newkirk, claims that such rides “normalize the use of animals as conveyances and amusements.”
“Children learn through play, and teaching them to have respect and compassion for all living, feeling beings can help create a more just and merciful world,” says Newkirk, who authored the book 50 Awesome Ways Kids Can Help Animals.
“PETA urges Chance Rides and all other carousel manufacturers to hit the brakes on old-fashioned animal-themed rides and embrace designs that engage children’s imagination and showcase human talent.”
The letter, dated February 6, specifically asks for the end of the “manufacture and sale of animal-themed carousels” and requests that in place of animals, other figures be exclusively produced, including those “in the shape of vehicles, such as cars, unicycles, tractors, airplanes, rockets, and bulldozers, that children are drawn to or even more whimsical designs, like shooting stars, rainbows, or brooms.”
In the letter, PETA concedes that such a request is “unexpected but important.” As the basis for PETA’s request, the letter states the following:
Animal-themed carousels unintentionally celebrate the exploitation of sentient beings. Animals used for rides and other forms of entertainment—including camels, horses, elephants, and dolphins—are confined and in servitude, never free to pursue their own lives and interests. They’re also sometimes beaten, tormented, and even slaughtered when their bodies wear out.
All animals are thinking, feeling, affectionate, playful, and social beings who form strong bonds with their offspring if permitted to keep them (a rarity). They crave freedom from oppression. Animal-themed carousel sets reinforce the notion that these sentient beings are simply here for our entertainment rather than individuals with the same capacity to experience fear, pain, joy, and love as any of us.
According to PETA, the decision by ride manufacturers–and presumably theme parks like Disney World and Disneyland that offer animal-themed carousels as amusement attractions to their guests–will ultimately send two messages, deemed “powerful” by the organization:
Animals are to be respected, not exploited, and companies can and should evolve to keep up with the times. In 2018, following talks with PETA, Nabisco replaced the more than 100-year-old design of caged animals on its Barnum’s Animals Crackers boxes with imagery of wild animals roaming free.
In 2019, after a push from PETA, Trader Joe’s redesigned its Bamba Peanut Snacks, toilet paper, and organic peanut butter packages to no longer include images of elephants performing tricks. And just last winter, after hearing from PETA, Dukal Corporation stopped selling bandages depicting animals in circuses.
The letter concludes with Newkirk asking the Chance Rides CEO to pledge to stop “promoting this abuse by no longer producing carousel figures in animal forms.” There’s no word yet about his response to PETA’s request.
