Fantasmic dark until spring '24
Fans of Disneyland's iconic nighttime show Fantasmic! will have to wait even longer to see Mickey Mouse return to the stage on the Rivers of America.
The show has been on hiatus since April, when the 45-foot-tall Maleficent dragon figure went up in flames during a performance. Thankfully nobody was injured in the fire, but the dragon prop was a total loss. Disneyland said the show would be on hiatus through Labor Day weekend while they worked to restore the production, but it seems that timeline was too optimistic, and the show will now return sometime next spring.
Fantasmic will return in spring 2024 without the Maleficent dragon figure. MousePlanet file photo.
In a statement, Disney officials said, "Our goal is to always deliver the best possible show for our guests. With that in mind, we are planning the return of "Fantasmic!" with exciting new magic in spring 2024. As teams continue work on the show, we have launched nightly entertainment on the Rivers of America this summer and we are working on even more exciting entertainment offerings for our guests later this year."
Regarding the spring return, Disney also noted, "At that time, the show won’t include the dragon figure, but it will feature new special effects and a thrilling new battle scene between Sorcerer Mickey and Maleficent." We don't know if this means the dragon figure is being removed permanently from the show, or if it's just going to take longer for a new dragon to be ready to take the stage.
Disney has presented Fantasmic! without the dragon figure many times over the show's 30-year history. Whenever the dragon malfunctions, the show runs in the so-called "B mode," where an animated Maleficent is projected onto the three mist screens.
While less common in recent years, the show frequently ran in B mode after a new-and-improved Fantasmic! debuted in 2009. A new three-dimensional, 45-foot-tall, fire-breathing dragon that had featured so prominently in Disneyland's marketing campaign for the revamped production wasn't ready when the show returned that summer, and didn't join the cast until September. Recurring mechanical problems quickly earned the dragon the nickname of "Murphy" (as in Murphy's Law) made all the more appropriate when the dragon's neck appeared to snap mid-show the following summer. Murphy returned to the show that December, and there haven't been any major incidents until now.
It sounds like the B mode is getting an upgrade before Fantasmic! returns, and it's still unclear whether this might be the only mode going forward. It would be a true loss if Disney decides not to replace the Maleficent figure, which truly is the most spectacular part of the show. I love taking first-time viewers to see Fantasmic!, just to see their reactions when a 45-foot tall, fire-breathing dragon seemingly materializes from nowhere. It's even more impressive when you consider that the Cider Mill on Tom Sawyer Island, which functions as the stage for Fantasmic! by night, is open to guests as an attraction during the daytime. Visiting the island during the day, there's no sign that you're walking over the infrastructure for the nighttime spectacular.
We can accept a few more months of B mode if that's what it takes to get a replacement dragon ready for prime time, but if this is the new normal we're going to have some words.
While we wait for Fantasmic! to return, Disney has already added some nighttime entertainment to New Orleans Square. Queenie and the Jambalaya Jazz Band debuted an evening show last week, and Disney promised news "soon" about additional entertainment offerings. Thanks to a notice on the Disney Auditions website, we now know more about one of those acts. Disney has posted a casting notice seeking a solo jazz pianist to portray Joe Gardner, the music teacher from SOUL. The callbacks aren't until mid-September, so it will be a bit before we see the new show.
Restaurant news and booze
Dry no more
Disney rattled a few fans this week when they announced that alcohol will be served at three table-service locations inside the park. September 12, Cafe Orleans, River Belle Terrace and Carnation Cafe will add wine, beer and cocktails to their existing menus.
📣 Foodie News! 📣 Beginning Sept. 12, Carnation Café, River Belle Terrace, and Café Orleans will introduce delish new offerings along with wine, beer, specialty cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages. 🍹#DisneyEats#Disneylandpic.twitter.com/WrVxCPJvhy
Disneyland was famously a "dry" park when it opened in 1955, with alcohol available only 1967 when the members-only Club 33 in New Orleans Square. That changed in 2019 when Oga's Cantina opened in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Oga's patrons are required to finish their beverages before leaving the lounge, and we understand the same will hold true at these new additions.
By contrast, Disney California Adventure offers alcoholic options at nearly every location, and guests can carry their boozy drinks around the park if they so choose. All four of the Walt Disney World theme parks serve alcohol, though the Magic Kingdom park also limits sales to table-service locations.
Almost there
Disney shared an image last week of the new architectural addition and marquee for Tiana's Palace in New Orleans Square. This renovation of the French Market will open later this year, along with the Mint Julep bar.

Port of San Fransokyo rolling opening
The Port of San Fransokyo phased opening keeps rolling along, and last week the new Port of San Fransokyo Cervecería opened, replacing the Pacific Wharf Distribution Co. Rita’s Turbine Blenders also reopened with a new menu, and Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill added the San Fransokyo-style street corn to its menu.
Settlement in Magic Key lawsuit
Multiple outlets including KTLA reported last week that a settlement has been reached between the Disneyland Resort and a Magic Key holder who filed suit against Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, alleging that the company used deceptive marketing practices when it began selling the new passes, which replaced the former Annual Passport program.
In her suit, Bay Area resident Jenale Nielsen claimed that she was unable to use her $1,400 Dream Key to visit Disneyland in November 2021, despite the top-tier pass being advertised as having no blockout dates. While there were no available reservations for the date(s) she wanted to visit using her Dream Key, Nielsen was able to purchase single-day tickets for the same date(s). Her lawsuit alleged that Disney artificially limited the number of reservations available to Dream Key holders, creating "a 'second class' ticket with limited availability."
Disney sold an estimated 3,600 Dream Keys before suspending sales of the pass. When Disneyland rolled out its revised Magic Key program a year later, the no-blockout-days pass was officially retired, and replaced with the Inspire Key, which is blocked out December 21 to January 1.
The next court date is August 31, at which time details of the settlement may be approved by the court. We have no idea what the settlement may include for other Dream Key purchasers.
Remembering Jim Korkis
An update from Mark Goldhaber:
Disney historian Jim Korkis. Photo by Werner Weiss.
Friends, I am heartbroken to have to inform you that our friend Jim Korkis passed away [July 28, 2023].
He was unresponsive at the rehab center and was transported to the hospital. His brother Mike was able to arrive a few minutes before Jim passed. While Jim could not respond, Mike said that Jim appeared to be able to hear him, and he was able to talk to Jim for those last few minutes. Jim had been feeling good this week, and there really was no indication that things would take a turn for the worse. He did not appear to be in pain, and went quickly and quietly as he had wished.
There will be a memorial for Jim at a date and time to be determined. It will be held via Zoom so that those elsewhere in the US or overseas can attend. We'll publicize the details once it's set, but for now Mike needs to focus on taking care of the necessary details.
To those of you who contributed to the GoFundMe that we set up for Jim, THANK YOU! Your contributions and messages of support gave life and light to Jim over these last several weeks. He was astonished to see how many people loved him. The remaining balance will be used to help pay off his final medical bills.
As I get more information from Mike, I will share it. In the meantime, thank you all for your support. I will be posting this update to the GoFundMe as well.
Thanks,
Mark

We also recommend checking the convention calendar at the Anaheim/Orange County Visitor and Convention Bureau website. When looking at that site, remember to note both the number of people and the number of rooms resulting from each convention. A gathering of 25,000 people booking few room nights (indicating most will be driving in to the area for their meeting) can impact traffic around the resort much more than a crowd of 25,000 staying in area hotels. Of course, that second group is going to make finding a hotel room more difficult (and possibly more expensive), so it's best to book your own room as early as possible if you see that a big convention is in town during your trip.

Current Discounts and Promotions
Disneyland prices as of October 11, 2022.
Note: MousePlanet does not edit past Updates to reflect price increases; for up-to-date prices, check the most recent Disneyland Resort Update. Several current promotions offer discounted admission to the Disneyland Resort. For your convenience, we have grouped the discount offers based on the number of days the tickets are valid. Check out the category that best matches the amount of time you plan to spend at the resort, and pick the offer that works best for you. And keep those tips coming—let us know if you find a better or different offer, so we can share it with other readers!
This first section is a list of discounts on ticket-only purchases. Though it has become more common in recent years, Disneyland tickets are rarely offered at deep discounts unless you are a resident of Southern California or Northern Mexico. For residents outside that area, the best discounts available tend to be simple advance purchase discounts. If you know of any additional discounts, offers, promotions, or contests that should be listed in this section, drop us a line. Note, we are no longer listing offers from the Anaheim-Orange County Visitor & Convention Bureau, as their convenience fee negates any savings.
Don't get scammed! Never buy tickets from an unofficial or secondary outlet, such as through eBay or Craigslist. Never rent or purchase tickets from people approaching you outside the gates stating they have remaining days or leftover tickets. This practice is against the terms of use for Disneyland admission, and may result in denial of entry. It is also common for criminals to shoplift inactivated Disney theme park tickets from supermarkets to resell them. There is no way to determine if these tickets are valid until you try to use them to enter the parks. Only purchase Disney theme park tickets directly from Disney, an authorized seller, or travel agency like MousePlanet travel partner Get Away Today.

SoCal Resident Ticket Offer
The California Resident Ticket is a 3-day, 1-park-per-day ticket that offers residents of California admission to either Disneyland or Disney California Adventure:
The weekday ticket – starting at $249, three weekdays (Mondays through Thursdays only) between June 12 and September 28, 2023
The any day ticket – starting at $299, three days (any day of the week, including weekends) between June 12 and September 28, 2023
You can use every day of the California resident ticket at the same theme park, or visit different parks on different days, but you can't use it to enter both parks on the same day.
The weekday ticket is $249 for ages 3 and up, is valid only Mondays through Thursday, and doesn't include weekends. The any day ticket costs $45 more, starts at $299 for ages 3 and up, but adds Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to your list of days.
For an additional $60, you can also upgrade the ticket to a park-hopper, which allows entry to both parks each day.
You can also add the paid Disney Genie+ service to your California resident ticket. Although you can upgrade all three days in advance for $20 per day (for a total of $60 for the three days), our recommendation is to pay for the service on the first day, after you enter the theme park. This will let you make sure the service provides a value for you, to decide whether you want to spend the extra money for your remaining days.
Tickets are available through the Disneyland website, or through MousePlanet travel partner Get Away Today.
There is no "fuse" on this ticket, which means that you can use the first admission on June 12 and wait until September 28 to use the remaining admission. However, remember that you must make a theme park reservation for each day that you want to use the ticket. Disney also warns that ticket sales may be paused or ended at any time, so it's probably best to purchase early so you're ready to make reservations as soon as they open for your desired travel dates.
Tickets expire on September 28, 2023, and have no holiday blackouts. That means that you can visit on the 4th of July holiday using a weekday ticket, assuming reservations are available.
Disney states that proof of residency is required for purchase and admission, and each resident can purchase up to five tickets per day.
Four Day Tickets
Four-Day, One-Park per Day Ticket – regularly $395/$370
