Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2025 Edition

Rock n Roller Coaster is closing on March 2. Not only disappointing for me, as I'll be there a month later, but I now have to recalibrate what I think of as Spring because they announced the closing with a Spring 2026 window and this is technically not that!

(I know they do the same thing with Summer but I guess that also extends to the other seasons)

March is Spring by the Meteorological calendar.

Guardians opened in May and they had called that a summer opening. I think they just do their own thing around the crowd transitions. Spring starts around when they expect Spring Break crowds to ramp up, Summer starts Memorial Day weekend.

then perhaps that will be it. If my memory serves me correct it was usually one special guest who had their own dressing room, and then with some appearances in the numbers and then also some bits in the dressing/backstage.... but I suppose they could do more than one guest for a special

This is a one off show, it's likly serving as a Pilot but we will have to see if they move forward with more shows.

I've seen a lot of reviews of the form: "No one but existing fans will care, and I've already forgotton what it was about."

I'm pretty sure no one at 500 S. Buena Vista cares.

New parking lot area for Disneyland, location for Coco, and Avatar in Disney California Adventure.

Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! will close early 2026

And so it begins. Disneyland filed a permit to build the new parking structure. 3.2 million sq ft, 8 levels, 302 EV chargers.

The former La Brea Bakery Building and two ticket booths are now behind construction walls. They will be demolished to make way for a new restaurant - Portos.

Monsters Inc will close early next year.

The Avengers Campus expansion is making steady progress. Disneyland filed a permit for a new quick service restaurant in the expansion area.

I notice that they are particularly bad today. This happens sometimes with the ad server, but it usually goes away. I am getting these onse that like creep in from the top or bottom, covering actual content.
