Disney's California Adventure Expansion

As many of you might know, there is a great expansion happening at California Adventure and some of which have come to pass already, and are slowly making its way into the park. I went at the beginning of the summer, and the usually huge plaza, is under construction, as well as the new entrance to the park to resemble when Walt Disney came to California in 1920.

The construction of the main plaza is supposed to reflect that of 1920's with red cable cars that used to run through Los Angeles. There is also the Carthay Circle Theatre which will be built which was where Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was premiered in Los Angeles.

Many other expansions are the Little Mermaid's Under Sea Voyage (see post below), Toy Story Mania, which premiered a couple years ago with the first responding and interactive animatronic. Mr. Potato Head.

This animatronic talks to you and tells you jokes, and actually gives not the best response when he is ignored. So make sure to interact with him when you go to the park. Voiced by the actor of Mr. Potato Head in the Toy Story films, Don Rickles,

They also added, removing the Orange Peel swings, replaced it with Mickey's Silly Symphony Swings, which has Mickey in his concert attire on the top of the attraction. Silly Symphony was actually the name of the production company at a time, as seen in the short "Goddess of Spring" which Disney animators put together while creating Snow White to test the animating of people.

The last big attraction they plan to bring to the parks...CARS LAND. Set to come out in 2012, The large rocks that make Radiator Springs can already be seen from Bug's Land. So be sure to be on the look out for that. For more information or what the attractions are, see the video below.

The other expansion which has already been in effect for a while is the World of Color. Which has been a big success for the park since its premiere in 2010.

So what are you looking forward to in this expansion? Let us know on the comments below, and make sure to follow us on Twitter @DlandInsider!

Walt Disney's Birthday!

Well today is the man who started it all's birthday. Walt would have been celebrating his 110th birthday this year. Thinking back on all his achievements, the man had created the first animated feature film, started the first multimedia franchise, started the theme park business which has now spread over 4 continents. His company has produced 50 animated features not including sequels to the movies, along with attractions which has sprung some of the most popular culture sayings of our time, one even becoming a blockbuster franchise.

What is your favorite Walt Disney aspect, and if you could tell him something, what would it be?

Glee's Disney Cameo!

As much s I love Disney, I am just as much a Gleek. I love Glee with a burning passion and I was supposed to put this out when the season 2 finale aired. In Glee's Season Two Finale "New York" they do "Lady and the Tramp"'s 'Bella Notte', the romance song of the entire movie, which was originally sang to Tramp and Lady while eating spaghetti and having a walk through the park. There is already a reference to Disney and this movie once in the show (Brittany talks about moving spaghetti with her nose).

Upon this singing it, I found it a strange cover, but good all the same. serenading the couple as they try to reunite their love for one another which falls short anyways. But! Alas, a Disney song was sung on Glee. Those Gleeks of us out there, do we want more Disney covers? Or is this enough for all of us?

"Brave" - A New Pixar Movie

Well, for those who have seen "The Muppets" they have seen this trailer already, or is just plain a Disney fan knows about this movie already. I have been excited to see how this is going to go as a movie as I am a Celtic myself and my father is from the United Kingdom. I think this movie is going to be good and will be an interesting watch for sure, for those who want to see it, it comes out sometime next year and it looks to focus on a Scottish Princess who doesn't want to be a princess, and wants to do men-like activities. I am looking forward to this, as it seems that there will be some type of supernatural theme to it and I am a sucker for that kind of stuff. So we shall see!

Villain of the Week

I decided to start some segments on the blog, and I decided on a villain of the week.

This week it is dedicated to the Evil Queen. She is the first Disney Villain and is one of the first people to ever chill us to the bone. She is a great villain who is evil, asks for Snow White's heart. Is so vain about her beauty that she turned herself evil in order to take out the competition of the woman who seemed to think that nothing else mattered except her looks. Her death is also one of a kind, and is one of the only deaths to get a buzzard hovering above and has the death of a rock landing on her, crushing her to death.

Any discussion on the Evil Queen make sure to post here or follow on our Twitter page!

Any ideas you want for the blog please make sure to either post on twitter or email! Our Twitter page will also have a daily fun fact! So make sure to tune in each day for your Disney fun fact!
