News:
The original version of the Haunted Mansion opened this week, and with it a new bride has appeared! The new bride replaces the previous Constance Hatchaway bride at the end of the attic scene. The new bride appears to be floating above the ground, holding a candelabra instead of a hatchet, with the return of the beating heart effect. In addition to the new bride, her candelabra can now be seen in the endless hallway, and inside a crypt in the graveyard scene. She is joined by a one-eyed cat, similar to the one-eyed cat that was installed previously. Lighting and sound has been upgraded throughout the attraction as well. – https://www.micechat.com/407954-disneyland-update-new-bride-lunar-new-year-construction/ https://www.micechat.com/408138-news-disneyland-haunted-mansion-new-bride/

An area above the newly finished extended queue of the Haunted Mansion has finally been completed. The cemetery on the hill has been unveiled from the scrim blocking the area before. New vegetation and tombstones dot the hill and add some great themeing. – https://www.micechat.com/407954-disneyland-update-new-bride-lunar-new-year-construction/

The Year of the Snake has kicked off this Lunar New Year festivity at Disney California Adventure. In addition to all the food that we spoke about last week, there is also a new Year of the Snake display in the lobby of the Grand Californian Hotel. A Mickey-shaped snake was cooked up by the culinary team at the resort to honor the holiday. It is made using 40 pounds of white chocolate, 30 pounds of fondant, 10 pounds of crisped rice cereal, and 3 pounds of marshmallows. – https://www.micechat.com/407954-disneyland-update-new-bride-lunar-new-year-construction/

It is that time again when Magic Keys are back on sale for a limited time! By the time you hear this, they will already be on sale. We recommend that you act fast since the last time Magic Keys went on sale, sales were paused after less than 6 days. – https://www.micechat.com/407954-disneyland-update-new-bride-lunar-new-year-construction/
