The next Disneyland After Dark Nite tickets are about to go on sale! Pride Nite – in our opinion one of the best after hours events – tickets will go on sale April 16th for Magic Key Holders, and April 17th for general admission. This year, Pride Nite itself takes place on June 16th and 18th. – https://mickeyblog.com/2025/04/10/disneyland-after-dark-pride-nite-tickets-go-on-sale-soon/

Weeklyteers who aren’t a fan of a headband style create your own headwear now have an alternative! Guests can now create their own HAT instead! The hat is black with the D resort logo on the front, also in black. All the existing plushes that you can add to the headbands can be added to the hat as well. The hat itself is $14.99 and can be purchased at the Mad Hatter on Main Street, or at World of Disney in Downtown Disney. – https://mickeyblog.com/2025/04/13/get-a-new-create-your-own-hat-at-the-disneyland-resort/

One of our favorite Imagineers will be featured in an upcoming documentary about their life and legacy. “Bob Gurr: Living by Design” will premiere at the Alex Theatre in Glendale on April 26th to a red carpet arrival with celebrity guests, and a Q&A after with Bob himself! Doors open at 5:30pm and the film begins at 7pm. The event is scheduled to last 2 hours and 40 minutes, including the intermission and Q&A.

A small thing at Disneyland that we have been following is the sign at the Jolly Holiday on Main Street. When the location reopened recently from its refurbishment, there was a temporary sign covering the popcorn lights underneath. The temporary sign has been removed, and the decorative elements have returned, but the popcorn lights are still problematic. – https://www.micechat.com/413111-disneyland-news-crowds-construction-bob-gurr-star-wars-nite/

For the past 66 years, the Ernest S Marsh locomotive has taken guests around Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom. What you may not know is that it is much older than that! For 100 years the locomotive has been in operation and Disneyland has commemorated this with green 100 year celebration flags on the front of the locomotive. – https://www.micechat.com/413111-disneyland-news-crowds-construction-bob-gurr-star-wars-nite/

There are some small things happening around the resort that we wanted to mention. “it’s a small world’s” return has been delayed until May 9th. A new permit for Porto’s includes the removal of two of the ticket booths in the esplanade to make room for the expanded location. Also, there was some testing on Lightning Lane removal from Pirates this week.
