<p><strong>Disneyland Gets Hit With DOSH Code Violations &amp; Fines</strong> -</p>
<p>A few weeks ago Disney suddenly closed down Space Mountain, Matterhorn, and Soarin’ over California due to not passing DOSH inspections for worker safety.</p>
<p>The proposed penalties are nearly $235,000. Matterhorn and Soarin’ has since reopened but as of today, Space Mountain remains closed and not set to reopen until 4/24 (thursday so may be open by the time we record)1</p>
<p>I’m now reading that the DOSH now won’t allow train engineers to get water from the water tower of New Orleans Square station to power up the train?</p>

<p><strong>Delicious Ideas for Mother’s Day at the Disneyland Resort</strong><br />
It’s the one day of the year mom really shouldn’t have to cook. So, whisk her away like a Disney princess to one of these spots for a Mother’s Day meal to remember. The big event on May 12 is “Join Cinderella and Her Princess Friends for Disney’s Royal Buffet for Mother’s Day.” It’s an all-you-care-to-eat feast from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Disneyland Hotel Grand Ballroom, with visits by Cinderella and live musical entertainment.<br />

<p><strong>Feature</strong> &#8211; Jae’s Hungry Bear Review (<a href="http://diningatdisney.com/review-hungry-bear-restuarant/" target="_blank">http://diningatdisney.com/review-hungry-bear-restuarant/</a>)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3914" alt="Hungry-Bear-Entrance" src="http://www.disgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Hungry-Bear-Entrance.jpg" width="480" height="360" /></p>
<p><strong>Tip of the Week</strong></p>
<p>Looking for a sweet snack at DCA? Try the gourmet marshmallows at Trolley Treats. Flavors vary daily depending on the kitchen. Not sure if there is a way to check with Disney to see what will be offered during a particular day. I know Candy Kitchen has their own Hotline at (714) 781-0112</p>
<p>Anyhow, I have two tips about this place. First, Trolley Treats recently started selling smaller portions of their marshmallows. Normally they sell the flavors in a package of two large portions at $5.95. But you can get the smaller ones at the counter. I believe you have a choice of three for $4.95. Here is a list of flavors.</p>
<p>Campfire S’mores &#8211; Vanilla marshmallow on top of a crunchy graham cracker with a layer of chocolate between.</p>
<p>Banana Split &#8211; Banana Marshmallow with caramel, chocolate drizzle and cherry on top.</p>
<p>Luscious Lemon &#8211; Lemony flavored marshmallow with graham cracker crumbs and a lemon marmalade drizzle.</p>
<p>Peanut Butter Chocolate Madness &#8211; This is a peanut butter/chocolate flavored marshmallow with chocolate chips, chopped peanuts and peanut butter cookie crumbles.</p>
<p>Raspberry Chip &#8211; Raspberry infused marshmallow with semi-sweet chocolate chips.</p>
<p>Watermelon &#8211; Dual layered marshmallow in light green and pink. Flavored with watermelon and contains chocolate chips to look like seeds. This is my wife&#8217;s favorite.</p>
<p>Nutmallow &#8211; Generous coating of chocolate on top of a vanilla marshmallow with walnuts.</p>
<p>During the Holidays they have peppermint and egg nog flavors. Last year they did not sell the peppermint. During our Holiday Tour, cast members told us that they were only giving them to guest on the tour. Not sure if it will change, but it was the best peppermint marshmallow I&#8217;ve ever tasted. Egg nog was good too, but could be better.</p>
<p>HERE&#8217;S THE SECOND TIP: Try to get the marshmallows from the back kitchen. Look at what they&#8217;re making and ask the cast members if you can purchase a fresh marshmallow. They may be reluctant, but just ask nicely. This makes a HUGE difference in the flavor, especially with the S&#8217;mores. It&#8217;s hard to tell how long some of the packages on the floor have been sitting there. With the S&#8217;mores, the graham cracker gets soft. When fresh, it&#8217;s really crunchy. I&#8217;m assuming that&#8217;s probably the case with the other marshmallows that have some type of pastry with it.</p>

All-Nighter Kicks Off “Monstrous Summer” at Disneyland Resort.

Disneyland Gets Hit With DOSH Code Violations &amp; Fines -

A few weeks ago Disney suddenly closed down Space Mountain, Matterhorn, and Soarin’ over California due to not passing DOSH inspections for worker safety.

The proposed penalties are nearly $235,000. Matterhorn and Soarin’ has since reopened but as of today, Space Mountain remains closed and not set to reopen until 4/24 (thursday so may be open by the time we record)1

I’m now reading that the DOSH now won’t allow train engineers to get water from the water tower of New Orleans Square station to power up the train?

Feature - Jae’s Hungry Bear Review (http://diningatdisney.com/review-hungry-bear-restuarant/)

Tip of the Week

Looking for a sweet snack at DCA? Try the gourmet marshmallows at Trolley Treats. Flavors vary daily depending on the kitchen. Not sure if there is a way to check with Disney to see what will be offered during a particular day. I know Candy Kitchen has their own Hotline at (714) 781-0112

Anyhow, I have two tips about this place. First, Trolley Treats recently started selling smaller portions of their marshmallows. Normally they sell the flavors in a package of two large portions at $5.95. But you can get the smaller ones at the counter. I believe you have a choice of three for $4.95. Here is a list of flavors.

Campfire S’mores - Vanilla marshmallow on top of a crunchy graham cracker with a layer of chocolate between.

Banana Split - Banana Marshmallow with caramel, chocolate drizzle and cherry on top.

Luscious Lemon - Lemony flavored marshmallow with graham cracker crumbs and a lemon marmalade drizzle.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Madness - This is a peanut butter/chocolate flavored marshmallow with chocolate chips, chopped peanuts and peanut butter cookie crumbles.

Raspberry Chip - Raspberry infused marshmallow with semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Watermelon - Dual layered marshmallow in light green and pink. Flavored with watermelon and contains chocolate chips to look like seeds. This is my wife&#039;s favorite.

Nutmallow - Generous coating of chocolate on top of a vanilla marshmallow with walnuts.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The final preparations for Mickey and the Magical Map stage show are underway.  This show is set to open on May 25th, 2013 inside the Fantasyland Theatre.</p>
<p>From the <a href="http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2013/04/first-look-setting-the-stage-for-mickey-and-the-magical-map-at-disneyland-park/" target="_blank">Disney Parks Blog</a>:</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There’s still a lot of work to be done to get ready for “Mickey and the Magical Map” to open May 25, but we wanted to give you a sneak peek at the newly refurbished stage inside the Fantasyland Theatre at Disneyland park. The theatre will be the setting for this all-new show, featuring a cast of live performers along with some of your favorite Disney friends – all interacting with the huge magical map which takes center stage throughout the performance. This first photo shows the opening title for the show, which is revealed during the first sequence.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://www.disgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/smp120392SMALL.jpg" alt="smp120392SMALL" width="550" height="357" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3895" /></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This amazing, living map is created with an enormous, multi-tiered LED screen, which helps tell the story and allows for the inclusion of fantastic animation and visual effects, taking Mickey Mouse into the lands of his imagination. This wondrous map spans the entire length of the stage, covering 35,000+ square inches with nearly 1 million pixels. The second sneak-peek photo we have for you features the wise sorcerer Yen Sid, whose magical map is the centerpiece of the show.</p>
<p>Disney also provided some videos to our friends at <a href="http://www.insidethemagic.net/" target="_blank">Inside the Magic</a>.  Take a look at the video screens that are on stage and some rehearsal footage of the Jungle Book sequence.</p>

<p>From <a href="http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2013/04/first-three-park-all-nighter-kicks-off-monstrous-summer-at-the-walt-disney-world-and-disneyland-resorts/" target="_blank">Disney Parks Blog</a>:</p>
<p>Last night April 25th 2013, a 180-foot-tall Mike Wazowski from the upcoming Disney●Pixar film “Monsters University” made the official announcement that we’re keeping three theme parks open for 24 hours on Memorial Day Weekend, the traditional start of the family travel season, to kick off a Monstrous Summer on both coasts. Wazowski, the loveable green-bodied, one-eyed monster, joins best pal James P. Sullivan (“Sulley”) in the prequel to “Monsters, Inc.”, this summer as college students with hopes of becoming Scarers.</p>
<p>Our first-ever, three-park all-night party is happening at the Magic Kingdom Park in Florida and Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park in California. The parks will stay open from <strong>6 a.m., May 24 to 6 a.m., May 25, 2013, local time</strong>.</p>
<p>In Florida, Magic Kingdom Park will feature a “Monsters University” theme where Mike and Sulley will be the Grand Marshals of the “Celebrate a Dream Come True” day parade and make appearances in Tomorrowland. There will be extra entertainment throughout the day and night, including characters in their pajamas in Town Square during the late night and early morning, and late-night dance parties in and around the courtyard of Cinderella Castle.</p>
<p>In California, you’ll be able to party the night away at both parks with special entertainment including: a “Monsters University” “TLT Monstrous” Dance Club and Star Wars characters in Tomorrowland and late-night Character Pajama Party in Mickey’s ToonTown at Disneyland park. The new Fantasy Faire Royal Theatre at Disneyland park will become a Royal Dance Hall late at night with a live band and dancing; and guests of Disney California Adventure park will find Monstrous photo opportunities with new “Monsters University” “Dorms” in Hollywood Land and a new “Monsters University” float leading the Pixar Play Parade.<br />
Tonight, the huge sphere of Spaceship Earth was transformed from Disney Parks icon to Disney●Pixar “Eye-con” for the announcement.</p>

<p>Walt Disney World Resort President George Kalogridis joined Mike to share the news of the Monstrous Summer. “This summer, Disney Parks are bursting with a monstrous lineup of new thrills, shows and happenings,” he said. “Guests can start Memorial Day Weekend with a 24-hour-marathon of memory-making as three parks stay open all day and all night to celebrate the bi-coastal kick-off of our Disney Parks Monstrous Summer.”</p>
<p>All three parks will feature limited-edition specialty merchandise and food and beverage offerings plus other surprises throughout the entire day. Keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog and the Monstrous Summer site for more details in coming weeks.</p>

<p>Disney Legend, Harrison “Buzz” Price to Receive Main St. Window &#8211; In July 1953, Walt hosted a party and discussed the Disneyland project with architects Charles Luckman, Welton Becket, and William Pereira. When the subject of where the park should go came up, Luckman suggested that Walt talk with Harrison “Buzz” Price. Price worked for the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) and had recently finished two site suitability studies for major corporations. This was the type of expertise that Walt needed. The next morning, Walt had Nate Winecoff call Price and put SRI under contract.</p>
<p>Over his long career, Buzz Price worked on an estimated three thousand economic feasibility studies. Most of those were in the leisure-recreation-attraction field. Price would go on to advise Walt and Roy on more than 150 projects. (Source: MiceChat)<br />

<p>Andy is not coming, he is in college! &#8211; It all started with a picture on the internet &#8211; if you yell “Andy’s coming” to the Toy Story walk around characters, they are suppose to stop and drop. Now, guests at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World are shouting this phrase over and over frustrating the character handlers.<br />

Andy is not coming, he is in college! - It all started with a picture on the internet - if you yell “Andy’s coming” to the Toy Story walk around characters, they are suppose to stop and drop. Now, guests at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World are shouting this phrase over and over frustrating the character handlers.

<p dir="ltr">The highly popular Disney Channel show, “A Dog with a Blog” will be arriving to Innoventions replacing the home of the future, formerly sponsored by Microsoft. The exhibit will now replicate the home of the show’s star, Stan the dog, It will now be sponsored by Google and they will be promoting their blog site, Blogspot.com on multiple computer screens so that guests can start their own blogs.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ol start="7">
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Do you follow @DCAToday and @DisneylandToday on Twitter? Get ready for @DTDToday! This new Twitter handle will give you the latest up to the minute information on food, drink, and merchandise purchasing opportunities in Downtown Disney at the Disneyland Resort. They will also give you real-time status wait times on the Mickey &amp; Friends parking trams &#8211; so there is no need to guess if you should wait for a tram or walk back the mile to the parking structure anymore! Don’t like crowds in DTD? They will start posting crowd levels starting April 1st. Categories include: Quinceaneras, Post-Prom Teenagers, and Families wearing the Same T-Shirts.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ol start="8">
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Merchandise is returning to the windows of Buena Vista Street! After short, but terse struggle between WDI and DCA merchandising department. DCA has won the battle and we can expect more plush, keychains and other plastic doohickeys that have nothing to do with the motif and era of BVS. When Andy Castro of MiceAge heard this, he had a stroke.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">With the success of Cars Land, Pixar is pushing WDI to come up with a concept theme park land based upon their movie WALL-E. Ride ideas include a “guests on floating ECV’s adventure through the spaceship Axiom; and a Fred Willard animatronic takes guest on a journey through an scortched Earth asking guests &#8220;wot happen?&#8221; And more&#8230;</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Limited Time Magic Menu</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">No Food and Wine Festival at DCA this year, so instead Disney is offering a special selection of food at various locations around the resort. They&#8217;ve invited celebrity chef Andrew Zimmerman to consult on the menus. If you don&#8217;t know who Andrew Zimmerman is, he&#8217;s the host of a television show called Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel. He is also a James Beard Award winner. This award is similar to winning an Oscar for movies. Anyhow, he&#8217;s been hired to create exotic dishes with a special emphasis on Global Cuisine. Since Andrew&#8217;s show on Travel Channel takes him to remote destinations, they asked him to provide insight into authentic native cuisines from various countries all across the world. The dishes that will be offered are influenced by actual recipes he discovered during his travels.</p>
<p>Cafe Orleans and Blue Bayou – Mama Odie&#8217;s Voodoo Gumbo and JuJu Fries (U.S. Cajun)</p>
<p dir="ltr">Chef&#8217;s are creating a unique gumbo recipe that will include real alligator and possum meat. Both animals are indigenous to that area of the country, which makes this very unique. They&#8217;re combining the alligator and possum meat with a wild boar italian sausage. It&#8217;ll be created with standard gumbo ingredients such as tomatoes, bell peppers, celery, okra, garlic, and various cajun spices.</p>
<p>The JuJu Fries is actually Cajun Snake Fry. The snake meat is marinated in a mix of whole milk and garlic juice to remove the gamey flavor. Then it&#8217;s seasoned with paprika, onion powder, ground cayenne pepper, and black pepper. The meat is finally coated with a blend of flour, rosemary, white pepper, and oregano before it goes into the deep fryer.</p>
<p>Rancho Del Zocalo – Three Caballeros Stew (Mexico + Latin America)</p>
<p dir="ltr">The stew is named Three Caballeros because it contains three different types of meat including beef tongue (lengua), tripe (like Menudo, it&#8217;s cow&#8217;s stomach lining) and iguana. Iguanas are considered a delicacy in Mexico and throughout Central and South America. It compares to chicken, but more tender. The three meats are cooked using a variety of ingredients including carrots, onions, tomatoes and cabbage. It will come with tortillas and a papaya salsa on the side.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Award Wieners – Iron Man Sausage (China and other parts of Asia)</p>
<p dir="ltr">In keeping with the traditions of creating hot dogs with a movie tie-in, Disney is developing a special concoction for Iron Man 3, which is set to be release May 3rd. It&#8217;s a Blood Sausage made with pig&#8217;s blood mixed with sweet rice, vermicelli, pork shoulder, and pork liver. Blood contains a lot of Iron, so that&#8217;s how it got it&#8217;s name. To go along with the food, they&#8217;re also offering a drink called Mandarin&#8217;s Mad Cocktail (Mandarin is Tony Stark&#8217;s nemesis in the movie). The elixir is made with 3 parts Zinfandel red wine with 1 part pig&#8217;s blood and topped with a frothy goat&#8217;s milk foam.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Village Haus Restaurant – The Monstro Sandwich (Northern Europe)</p>
<p dir="ltr">Pinocchio and Geppeto get their revenge on Monstro the Whale. Disney will be releasing a limited time sandwich featuring Baked Whale on Focaccia Bread. The meat has been imported from Norway and is prepared with red wine, garlic, onions, salt and peppercorns. It&#8217;s topped with a white wine vinaigrette and radicchio lettuce served on an herb-infused Focaccia Bread roll.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Bengal Barbecue – Indy Going Bananas (India)</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Bengal Barbecue will be offering a new dessert item on their menu. In honor of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, chef&#8217;s have recreated the most iconic dish in the movie &#8211; Chilled Monkey Brains. They received special permission from the Anaheim Health Department to serve this specialty item. Because a monkey&#8217;s diet consists of mostly fruits, the flesh is slightly on the sweet side. However, to enhance the sweetness further, they&#8217;ve included some native Indian delicacies like mango, lychee, and ambarella. Fried bananas will be served on the side.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Disney is going to be offering this Limited Time Menu beginning May 1st and it lasts throughout the entire month.</p>

<p>Mouseplanet <a href="http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/showthread.php?193041-Tony-Baxter-s-Letter-of-Resignation&amp;p=1781369#post1781369" target="_blank">posted his announcement email</a> to his colleagues today:</p>
<p><strong>Fantasy Faire opens March 12th</strong><br />
The former Carnation Plaza Gardens stage and dance floor will now be called The Royal Theatre with shows featuring characters from Beauty and the Beast and Tangled.</p>
<p>At The Royal Hall, there will be three princess meet and greet areas.<br />
Food items include new cheddar garlic twists, boysen apple freeze and a yogurt parfait from Maurice’s Treats.</p>
<p>During the Q&amp;A, swing dancing was brought up MousePlanet tweeted out their response saying “The stage is flexible, but the decision will be made later. For now, full-time Fantasy Faire.”</p>
<p><strong>Nescafe Coffee is leaving Disneyland</strong></p>
<p>Disney has entered into a long-term agreement with Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea Co to provide the standard coffee at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Vacation Club properties. In addition, Joffrey’s will develop special blends exclusive to Disney and resort hotel rooms will all have a catalog where guests can purchase Joffrey’s products to take home. These changes will be complete within the next few months.</p>
<p>Just to give you an idea how quickly Limited time magic goes, we have had two events go since our last recording. And two more events come and go.</p>
<p>What has ended is Golden Horseshoe Review Tribute and the New Orleans Bayou Bash.</p>
<p>What has COME and go meaning the event happened and is now gone</p>
<p>Lunar New Year at DCA and True Love Week</p>
<p><a href="http://disneyland.disney.go.com/offers-discounts/annual-passholder-extended-hours/" target="_blank">Extended hours</a> at DCA on Thursdays. 2 extra hours to enjoy.</p>
<p>Finally it seems that they will now start enforcing fastpass return times as they recently did in Florida. Of course this draws outrage from the fan community which frankly I don’t understand. Signs has gone up although I understand the enforcement is not actually in place yet. Signs are up merely to start getting passholders used to the idea.</p>
