Here we see the nightly lighting ceremony at Cars Land inside Disney California Adventure Park. True to the movie, even down to the 3rd light flashing slower than the others!
This is a full ride-thru on the Red Car Trolley from the Tower station to the Buena Vista Street station by way for Carthay Circle. This park looks truly amazing lit up at night!
Snow White’s Scary Adventures made its last and final run at Walt Disney World yesterday. It is a very sad day as this was one of the original attractions at the Magic Kingdom when it opened in 1971.
WDW's Exterior
The space that belonged to Snow White’s Scary Adventures will now become a princess area. Are people upset about this much like the same way people were upset at Disneyland for changing the Carnation Plaza Gardens to make room for a princess themed area?
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs on a beautiful mural at the WDW version.
And looks who's also on that mural!
But all is not lost, for a new attraction will be opening at the Magic Kingdom based on Walt Disney’s first animated feature. The Seven Dwarf’s Mine Ride will open sometime next year and I am very excited about it. It looks like it will be loads of fun with amazing details.
Disney released concept art for the new attraction
And for us West Coast fans, Snow White will continue her scary adventures for years to come. But we will always remember the sister attraction that was at Walt Disney World. While they were similar in most ways, there were differences and in some ways WDW’s version was superior. Disneyland’s version’s climax has the Old Hag struck by lightning and then you see a wall mural that reads “And they lived happily ever after”. Kind of anti climactic right? Well, WDW’s version had a real ending that Disneyland didn’t have enough room for. In WDW’s version, after the Old Hag is struck by lightning, we see the body of Snow White being kissed by her Prince in order to wake her up. The very next scene shows the Dwarfs waving goodbye to the Prince and Snow White as they really do live happily ever after.

And they lived happily ever after!
And here is a great video which was posted on Mousechat of a ride thru of the WDW version with the lights on!
So we want to hear from you. How do you feel about Walt Disney World closing their version of “Snow White’s Scary Adventures”? Does it make sense because a new ride based on that film is opening? After all, Dumbo and Alice in Wonderland have 2 rides each at Disneyland. Leave your comments below.
A few weeks ago, we went down to the parks and the first thing we did was ride the Disneyland Railroad. Our plan was to do a grand circle tour plus one stop to NOS. On the ride, I decided to see how well we could capture the Grand Canyon Diorama and Primeval World and what came out looked really great!
Let us know what other video content you would like to see on the site! We hope to have some great interviews coming in the next few months.
This was one of the coolest things I have seen at the park. A quick google search will show that the custodial team at TDA has been at this for a while, but with as much time as I have spent at the parks I have never seen this!
We had just finished out Fantasmic! 20th anniversary showing, had already ridden on Big Thunder Mountain and were headed to Pirates… when we saw a few people admiring something on the ground. We saw some water on the ground and as our eyes adjusted to the ground in front of Riverbell Terrace, we realized that it was artwork!
Here are some pictures we snapped of a few of the characters drawn on the ground and to boot, I caught some video of the cast member drawing a huge Mickey Mouse in front of Pirates! Enjoy!
I was moving some files at work last week and one of the moves was from this timelapse camera we have set up at a construction site. The timelapse camera shoots as many pictures as can fit on the card but splits them into folders with 999 files each so as to not have duplicate file names, etc. I thought it would be funny to see the Mac file transfer window moving 999 files into a folder called “Haunted Mansion.”
I had a pretty bad day today and was cleaning up my desktop and came across this and it made me laugh a week later after I had forgotten about it completely. Thought I would share.
"There's room for 1,000. Any volunteers?"
What do you do when bored or stressed at work to remind you of happier times or Disneyland?
