In The Parks – A Dazzling Disneyland Update
Disneyland and the 60th celebration is in full swing at the resort.  Nearly every corner of the entry plaza, Main Street U.S.A. and Buena Vista street make that fact abundantly clear with deep blue bunting studded with crystals.  Today we share the latest happenings at the resort and take a leisurely stroll around Walt’s original park.  While Soarin’ Over California, the wonderful Pain the Night Parade, Disneyland Forever Fireworks Spectacular, the new World of Color Celebrate!

Disneyland’s Diamond Celebration continues as the park gets ready for more new summer magic
Disneyland continues to celebrate its big 60th Anniversary as the summer pushes forward. In both parks, work on new additions are underway. The extended refurbishment on Peter Pan’s Flight will wrap up on July 1, bringing major new enhancements to the classic Fantasyland dark ride. In Tomorrowland, work on Innoventions‘ major facelift progresses as the Tomorrowland Theatre goes dark following the run of the “Tomorrowland” movie sneak peek. Meanwhile, MARVEL’s Ant-Man is moving in at Disney California Adventure. There’s also plenty of new merchandise in both parks as well.

Fab News: Fantasmic Fastpass, D23 Expo Stars and New Adventures
This week is zooming by. The parks are full of teenagers because of Grad Nights, but cloudy skies have kept the CA parks from becoming too packed in the past few days. Daughter Alice finished the last of her finals (in one of them, two of her fellow students passed out and there were ambulances and paramedics and everything!) so we celebrated with breakfast at Carnation (the blue carnations at each table for the special anniversary celebration are a nice touch) and some time for Alice to draw friendly goats.

The original Disneyland Band performs a final Town Square concert

As part of Disneyland’s 60th anniversary, the park will debut a new version of the Disneyland Band in July, that features choreography and more guest interaction. Because of this, the members of the original Disneyland Band, which had never been recast in the park’s 60 year history until this year, had to re-audition for their roles and many chose not to or did not make the cut.

The band’s June 15, 2015 performances marked the final performances of the Disneyland Band with all of its current members. The current line-up will continue performing through July 15, 2015 but with noticeable absences after June 15.
