As we’ve previously reported, Disney California Adventure park will welcome Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind to Pixar Pier this summer and yesterday, Disney revealed a first look at the new attraction which is sure to give you all the feels.
Inspired by the hit Disney and Pixar film “Inside Out,” Emotional Whirlwind opens later this month in the Inside Out Headquarters neighborhood of Pixar Pier.
Once you hop aboard one of eight Memory Movers, you’ll take a sense-ational spin and help Riley’s Emotions (aka Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear) sort through memories being collected.
To complement the whimsical atmosphere, Academy Award-winning composer Michael Giacchino created five music tracks, one for each of the emotions. Last year Michael collaborated with Walt Disney Imagineering to compose the music for the thrilling Incredicoaster.
Pixar Pier celebrates its one-year anniversary this weekend. The reimagined land shares the stories and characters of Pixar films with exciting attractions, themed neighborhoods and fun eateries.
Are you excited to make your own memories when Emotional Whirlwind opens? Let us know what you think in the comments.
Since the Minnie Van service was introduced in 2017, Disney has partnered with the rideshare company Lyft and yesterday, Disney announced that Lyft will now be the official rideshare company for both Disneyland and Disney World.
With this new relationship, Lyft and Disney Parks and Resorts will collaborate in a number of exciting new ways including an enhanced presence at Disney Resorts and an improved Minnie Van user experience through the Lyft app.
“This year, Lyft will continue to celebrate the magic of Disney by expanding Lyft’s presence at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort” said David Baga, Lyft Chief Business Officer. “We’ve always been inspired by the extraordinary experiences that Disney provides for guests and we share a similar commitment to customer service. Working together will allow us to enhance the way guests experience the resorts.”
Lyft’s new alliance with Disney Parks and Resorts will enhance the rideshare experience for Guests by expanding Lyft’s presence throughout Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort. With dedicated pick-up and drop-off areas and way-finding signage, Lyft and Disney are focused on improving mobility around the Resorts through reduced wait times.
This fall, they will be enhancing the Lyft app experience at Walt Disney World Resort, making it easier to request a Minnie Van ride, find the most convenient pickup location, and even select a wheelchair accessible vehicle. “We are thrilled to have this relationship with Lyft, connecting our guests with our Minnie Van service and playing an important role in our innovative, world-class transportation services for years to come” said Alison Armor, Vice President of Transportation Operations at the Walt Disney World Resort.
As we previously reported, Disney has plans to bring Marvel Land to Disneyland Resort and now those plans are in full swing as the company has recently obtained permits to begin the expansion.
Last year, CEO Bob Iger teased the expansion to the company’s California Adventure Park at Disneyland Resort, and it seems Disney is moving full steam ahead to bring its popular superhero franchise to parkgoers.
The city of Anaheim has approved a handful of building permits for projects such as a bathroom overhaul, a retail outlet, a microbrewery, a character meet-and-greet area, plus improvements to behind-the-scenes buildings
The construction permits assess the value of the work so far at more than $14 million, according to an L.A. Times report.
Licensing agreements that predated Disney’s 2009 acquisition of Marvel Entertainment bans the word “Marvel” from appearing on any theme-park land. However, it is possible that Disney has found a way around that either legally or by using the word “Avengers” in its place.
Trick or treat! Disneyland Resort is bringing in a new event this Halloween season called “Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party” to Disney California Adventure park and guests of all ages are sure to have a ghoulishly good time.
This separately-ticketed party is packed with exclusive new entertainment and experiences, including the new “World of Color” spectacular – “Villainous!”
Also, Tweens will be treated to multiple new experiences – including the new interactive DescenDANCE Party and more! Take a look below to see what’s in store:
DescenDANCE Party – A new pulsing party in the Backlot area of Hollywood Land is inspired by the popular “Descendants” franchise from Disney Channel. As the DescenDANCE Party begins, a spell is cast, summoning the greatest dance crew from the Isle of the Lost to throw down and lead everyone in moves that are set to the biggest hit songs from all three “Descendants” movies. The original “Villain Kids” might even crash the party through magic mirrors. Once the DescenDANCE crew returns to their realm, the Backlot DJ continues to spin tunes that will make any “Villain Kid” proud, inviting everyone to step onto the dance floor into the night.
“Villainous!” – The new “World of Color” show weaves a Halloween tale about a young girl named Shelley Marie. This twisted tale carries Shelley on an unforgettable journey, exploring the villainous side of Disney characters through fountains, lights, lasers, projections and special effects. “Villainous!” shows that, deep down, there’s a little villain in all of us.
Character encounters – Tweens will love meeting beloved Disney characters – and villains, too. You may be surprised at who you discover at this Halloween party, like Dr Facilier, Jafar and Maleficent!
Immersive Treat Trails – Trick-or-treating is not just for little kids! There is so much to see at the new, wonderfully wicked treat trails throughout the park. Iconic characters such as Mad Hatter from Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland,” or even Oogie Boogie himself will surprise and delight. Additional treat trails will feature oversized cauldrons full of treats for all guests to enjoy.
“Frightfully Fun Parade” – The favorite Halloween parade is coming to Disney California Adventure park for the first time! The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow starts the procession, followed by Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse who lead the cavalcade of characters and many mischievous Disney villains who are ready to stir up some trouble along the parade route.
This spook-tacular Halloween party is only offered on 20 select nights this fall.
Rain and lightning hitting Southern California on Wednesday forcing closures to several outdoor rides at Disney’s Califonia Adventure, park officials said.
