Please support the show if you can by going to https://www.dlweekly.net/support/. Check out all of our current partners and exclusive discounts at https://www.dlweekly.net/promos. News: Madame Leota has returned from somewhere beyond and opened her own shop! Madam Leota’s Somewhere Beyond is located at the exit to The Haunted Mansion and is themed to the carriage house of the mansion. Inside, countless artifacts from Madame Leota’s collection are on display. For guests, a wide range of Haunted Mansion themed merchandise is for sale. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2024/12/23/surprise-disneys-new-haunted-mansion-store-is-now-open/#more-996998 https://www.micechat.com/407013-haunted-mansion-madame-leotas-somewhere-beyond-shop-open/ With the return of the classic Haunted Mansion later this month, Imagineering might have a new surprise for guests! A new bride may appear in the attic of the mansion. A sneak preview of this new bride may be seen in the Madame Leota shop as a portrait. The new bride is rumored to have a cutting-edge blend of classic and modern effects. The goal is to elevate the character to the same level as the Hatbox Ghost, who appeared in 2016. – https://www.micechat.com/407093-disneyland-update-haunted-mansion-secrets-holiday-hustle-whats-next/ The queue for Pirates of the Caribbean frequently sprawls throughout New Orleans Square. MiceChat reports that Imagineers are working on a solution to this issue. The solution could replace some classic areas like the Port Royal shop, Royal Street Veranda quick service window, and the small courtyard between the shops. As sad as it may be to lose these locations, an extended, more themed, indoor queue might be a good thing for New Orleans Square. – https://www.micechat.com/406689-disneyland-update-from-christmakkah-to-construction-swashbuckling-surprises/ With the start of a new year comes new merchandise for that year. For 2025, there is the Disney Play in the Park collection – Disneyland Version, which features fun activities for guests to enjoy while at Disneyland. A wide selection of items are in this collection. Disneyland 2025 Dated merchandise is also out.

The walls have come down around Parkside Market, which means that the location could open any day now! The building will house Sip & Sonder, GGs Chicken Shop, Seoul Sister, and Vista Parkside Market when it opens. – https://www.micechat.com/407093-disneyland-update-haunted-mansion-secrets-holiday-hustle-whats-next/ https://www.parksidemarketla.com/ Something is finally happening at the old ESPN Zone building in Downtown Disney! Construction walls have gone up around the building and permits show that the space will split into three spaces, two downstairs, and one upstairs. – https://www.micechat.com/407093-disneyland-update-haunted-mansion-secrets-holiday-hustle-whats-next/ A construction project long in the works between Cars Land and Avengers Campus has finally wrapped up.

The safety video with Sallah has returned to a more extended version with more theming than just the “use the seatbelts” section.

Check out the link in the show notes for all the details. – New Year, New Perks — Exclusive Popcorn Bucket and MORE Revealed for Disneyland Passholders | the disney food blog A new set of entrance gates have been unveiled at Disneyland. This is a project that has been progressing through versions for the last year at Disney California Adventure. It appears the resort has landed on a system that will work for them. The new gates allow guests to scan their own tickets and take a photo if one is not on file, allowing entrance with a valid park ticket and reservation. The new system should cut down on the amount of cast needed at the entrance to the parks and could result in faster entry for experienced guests. – Disneyland Update – Tiger Unleashed, Gate Update & Legal Fallout A missing element has returned to the Jungle Cruise. The temple that the Bengal Tiger was housed in has been restored. The previous show scene was removed after the elements and time had taken it’s toll. After almost a year and considerable work, the restored scene looks great. – Disneyland Update – Tiger Unleashed, Gate Update & Legal Fallout Another update at Disneyland has happened at Pixie Hollow. The lagoon area has been under construction for months, with no clear explanation on what was being done. Now that the walls have come down, we know that a new fountain and water features were being installed. Little themed elements have returned to the area, and the painted blue lagoon looks refreshing and clean. The meet and greet area is still under refurbishment. – Disneyland Update – Tiger Unleashed, Gate Update & Legal Fallout Cast members who were working at the resort when Measure L was passed will be getting some back pay. Measure L is the Anaheim minimum wage law. Cast members who were not being paid the Anaheim minimum wage, which took place over five years(!) will get 100% of their back wages, including overtime, minus tax withholdings, along with 10% interest on those payments. – https://www.micechat.com/406206-disneyland-update-tiger-unleashed-gate-update-legal-fallout/ Discussion Topic: Disney Treasure Preview Cruise with ConciEARs Cassie AgundesPHOTOS: Tour the Disney Treasure’s Tomorrow Tower and Royal Suites!
