The MiceChat Round Up of Disney and theme park news and information is here to serve up the week in news, gossip, rumors, and fun. Big changes are coming to Disneyland’s exclusive Club 33 and the alterations are hard to miss from this once secretive club. There are also games afoot as “Legends of Frontierland: Gold Rush” completes its first week of game play. How did it go? Not to be outdone, Disney California Adventure is lovingly photographed by user, RegionsBeyond. Walt Disney World is also in the spotlight this week as a Monorail broke down on the beam, stranding passengers and forcing an evacuation. Next up, User Täysikuu delivers some epic pictures from Disneyland Paris that must be seen to be believed. It’s all here along with a fantastic collection of Podcasts and videos from MiceChat. Let’s get this started, shall we? |

Today, July 15th, we offer our congratulations to Universal Studios Hollywood on 50 years of their world famous Studio Tram Tour and the genesis of their theme park operations.

Frontierland Games and Summertime Fun at Disneyland Resort
The Disneyland Resort survived the 4th of July with ease as low crowd levels made the holiday weekend an absolute dream for those with access to the park. Meanwhile, a brand new type of interactive park experience launched this week with mixed reviews. Legends of Frontierland, a new interactive game, began on Wednesday in the saloon and pathways of Frontierland. While interesting, there did seem to be a few kinks to work out. Meanwhile refurbishment of the front gates of Disneyland continues as another bank of turnstiles goes behind construction walls. There is finally some visible work on the arcade/alley that is being constructed behind the eastern side of Main Street, U.S.A. The new First Aid station has opened its doors where the old locker location was. Plus, we’ve got construction shots from around the park for you.
