Tomorrow lands in Disneyland

Back in Disneyland, the new extended sneak preview of Disney’s upcoming “Tomorrowland” film has opened in the Magic Eye Theater. The entire exterior and preshow area have been painted in silvers, whites and blues, finally bringing this part of Tomorrowland out of the brown ages of Tomorrowland 1998.

Inside the theater you see all of these great New York World’s Fair graphics in action in the extended preview of “Tomorrowland.” The scene shown gives a glimpse into the backstory of Frank, our hero, and how he got involved with the secret Tomorrowland society during his visit to the 1964 New York World’s Fair. The extended scene wraps up with a traditional movie trailer-style series of clips, encouraging you to go see “Tomorrowland” when it hits theaters May 22.

I really enjoyed the “Tomorrowland” preview and exhibit at Disneyland. I was skeptical of this film, particularly with early marketing aspects including the “1952” box, which flirted with fabricating false company history for no good reason. The preview and exhibit have me interested, though, and I look forward to seeing this one in theaters in May.

Disney released a video discussing the connections between “Tomorrowland” and Walt Disney’s own work.

Shine Bright Like A Diamond

Meanwhile, a few new refurbishment projects have popped up around the park as Disneyland continues to get ready for its big 60th Anniversary Celebration in late-May. The old Wizard of Bras porch is now behind walls for some work.

Besides filming set-up, the Castle looks just about ready for the 60th. All its missing is its big “60” decoration, which will probably be added just before the 60th kick-off in May.

Disney has yet to announce an official end date for the Frozen Sing-Along show, Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post, and the Frozen meet-and-greet inside the Disney Animation pavilion. Of course, these offerings could, and depending on guest demand, may just continue to be offered indefinitely.

Will Muppet*Vision 3D return? Disneyland has yet to give an official release date, but when the attraction first closed for Frozen Fun, the park’s social media team insisted to worried fans the show would return at a later date:

…but by late-March the tone had changed a bit.

We’ll see what happens as the Frozen Fun promotion comes to an end in the coming weeks. Will some of it linger or will Hollywood Land return to normal?

Downtown Changes

In Downtown Disney, the Disney Vacation Club sales center is now open.
