News: It is that time of year again when prices go up at the Disneyland Resort. This time, the lowest price, one park, one day ticket has stayed the same, but the highest level one park, one day ticket has increased from $206 to $224. Overall, tickets increased from $3 to $18. Magic Key Holders also saw increases. The Imagine Key went up $150, with the Believe Key going up $100. Parking went up $5 to $40, with preferred parking now at $60. Lightning Lane Multi-Pass went up $2 for pre-arrival from $32 to $34 per person. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-ticket-price-increase-2025/ Prices are going up, but park hours are expected to go down this holiday season. Disney has notified employee unions that overall staffing hours are being reduced, which may result in the parks closing 1-2 hours earlier on some nights. Earlier this year, it was announced that early entry was being discontinued starting in January. – https://www.micechat.com/425063-disneyland-news-prices-up-hours-down-rapunzel-rises-ramsay-revealed/ Ticket Deal – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/2026-disneyland-california-resident-3-day-park-hopper-ticket-deal/ Magic Keys back on sale – https://disneyland.disney.go.com/magic-key/ We have been very excited for the new Earl of Sandwich to open on the west end of Downtown Disney. Upstairs, the new Carnaby Tavern was announced, but has now been rebranded as “Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby.” Gordon Ramsay is a Michelin-Starred chef who will elevate the British-themed gastropub. Some of Ramsay’s signature dishes like beef Wellington, fish and chips, and sticky toffee pudding could be on the menu when the location opens. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/gordon-ramsay-at-the-carnaby-coming-to-downtown-disney/ The new “Reclaimed and Reforged” storyline, which was introduced at Savi’s Workshop for May the 4th in Star Wars Galaxys Edge has returned. The return also comes at a higher price for the lightsaber building experience. It will now cost $249.99, up from $219.99. This story is available for a limited time, joining the other four themes of Peace and Justice, Power and Control, Elemental Nature, and Protection and Defense. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/reclaimed-and-reforged-returns-to-disneyland/ The first signs of progress have appeared for the eastern gateway project, which will include parking, security, transit center, and eventually, a bridge over Harbor Boulevard. A new permit has been filed to install a 15-foot-long by 8-foot-high chain link fence, as well as a 128-foot-long and 8-foot-high wooden fence in the area. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/10/10/disney-files-permit-for-huge-new-theme-park-expansion/ A new scavenger hunt is coming to Downtown Disney this holiday season. Chip and Dale’s Ornament Trail will feature special Disney character-themed ornaments hanging from trees throughout Downtown Disney. Guests pick up a map and stickers for $11.99 at select merchandise locations, and then search for the ornaments. Once an ornament is spotted, place the corresponding sticker on the map. Once all the ornaments have been found, return your map to a redemption location for a holiday keepsake. This will run from November 14th to January 7th. – https://www.micechat.com/425063-disneyland-news-prices-up-hours-down-rapunzel-rises-ramsay-revealed/ SnackChat: Salt and Straw – https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/downtown-disney-district/salt-and-straw/menus/snack/ Discussion Topic: Epic Universe with James and Tage Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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: There has been a lot of speculation on what is happening with Storybook Land Canal Boats at Disneyland since it’s refurbishment started. We finally have at least part of an answer! Between the patchwork section and Mr.Toad’s section a new Rapunzel tower will rise, with wanted posters for Flynn Rider and a secluded dock with a boat inspired by the film. A trellis on the Casey Jr. bridge will feature twinkling lights and play “When Will My Life Begin?” during the day, and “I See the Light” at night. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/rapunzels-tower-coming-to-storybook-land-canal-boats-at-disneyland/ Some new live entertainment is coming to the Disneyland Resort. A casting call has gone out for seven improv actors, vocalists, movers, and dancers for a new production. They are also looking for band members to accompany the show. Submissions are open through October 17th. No word on when this show will debut or what it is. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/10/02/your-dream-job-is-now-hiring-at-disneyland/ Not too long ago, Rex from Toy Story came to Pixar Pier. He is back, but this time he is ready to party. Partysaurus Rex, which is Rex in his party outfit of a viking hat, with red lochs hanging out, and a few necklaces with colorful beads and a peace sign. You can catch Partysaurus Rex in the 2012 Pixar short Partysaurus Rex, which is part of the Toy Story Toons series. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/partysaurus-rex-meet-and-greet-dca/ There is a new way to interact, and maybe get a photo with, you favorite Avenger. There is a new “Avengers Assemble” moment in Avengers Campus where a few Avengers come out together, are introduced by the F.R.I.D.A.Y. voice over the PA, pose for a group photo in front of the Avengers’ jeep, then break up to meet with guests for photos in the area. After a short time, the F.R.I.D.A.Y. voice comes back and informs them they are needed elsewhere, and they disperse. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/avengers-assemble-new-moment-avengers-campus-dca/ One of our favorite previously turned down cast members, and Disney Legend Josh Gad was back at Disneyland recently. This time, he was working the Haunted Mansion. This took place before the Holiday overlay was installed, as he can be seen talking to the caretaker, dancing with the ballroom ghosts, and much more! You might remember that Josh previously worked on the Jungle Cruise as a skipper, was a conductor on the Disneyland Railroad, and worked the Kilimanjaro Safari at Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World. To see his experience, check out the link in our show notes. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/10/03/a-disney-celebrity-just-became-a-haunted-mansion-caretaker-and-we-are-so-jealous/ https://youtu.be/UTHSUCKCY8s?si=WHP0bZie-C41dFHb The Broken Spell Lounge at the Disneyland Hotel, which opened back in October of 2024, just now got it’s permanent sign. The new sign hangs from the ceiling with a magic wand and twinkling stars surrounding the Broken Spell Lounge name. The lounge is usually open from 4pm to 10pm, with live music daily at 5:30pm, 6:45pm, and 8pm. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/10/05/better-late-than-never-something-new-just-arrived-at-a-popular-disney-hotel-lounge/ Not only is Disneyland celebrating 70 years, but so is the Mickey Mouse Club! The Mickey Mickey Mouse Club premiered on October 3, 1955. To celebrate, some new, retro-style merchandise has come to the resort. There are some classic Mickey ears, a Mickey Mouse Club Member jacket, a Mickey plush, tote bag, tee, and more! – https://www.micechat.com/424727-disneyland-news-ticket-increase-aerial-construction-photos/ In the hub at Disneyland, there are pumpkins that represent each land of the park, with a character representative. Adventureland started this Halloween season with Tarzan, but has been swapped to Jose from Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room. This change makes sense since Tarzan’s Treehouse has been replaced with the Adventureland Treehouse. It is interesting that they swapped this out mid-season. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-adventureland-pumpkin-update/ We have a couple of construction updates to tell you about around the resort. First, the Disneyland Hotel security gates near the old ESPN Zone building are still closed, but the new gates are installed and should be open soon. Over in Disney California Adventure, the TWO new Avengers Campus attractions are coming ...
