Wednesday Photo Challenge 4-4-12 – Answer

April 5, 2012 By Daniel Hale

Hey everybody.  Definitely got more guesses this time.  But surprisingly a lot of guesses were wrong.  A lot of folks guessed Arial’s Grotto.  But that’s wrong.

It’s was …

King Triton’s Carousel!  You can see the mermaids to the right and left of the sign.  Every trip we take to DCA induces a ride on this attraction!  It’s a family favorite!

Here are the folks that got it right:

  • Robert Erickson
  • Ashley Hodgson
  • Alison Hodgson
  • LilLeopard (Twitter)

Thanks to everybody that played and we will see you next week!

The Streetmosphere for Buena Vista Street

April 2, 2012 By Daniel Hale

While I’m super excited for the opening of Cars Land on June 15th, I’m equilly as excited for Buena Vista Street. I often ask myself what’s the big deal? It’s just going to be a trolly and some shops.

The Details.

Details like the ones released the other day from the Disney Parks Blog. Check it out!

When you enter Disney California Adventure park this summer, you’ll step back in time to Los Angeles of the 1920s and ‘30s on Buena Vista Street. One of the keys to creating a truly immersive environment like this is populating it with interesting and believable characters, so Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Creative Entertainment has been hard at work developing the unique personalities and show experiences that will bring the new entrance avenue to life.

Buena Vista Street is alive with optimism and opportunity. It’s a boulevard of dreams and dreamers… like the Citizens of Buena Vista Street. This cast of characters will interact with guests in this area of the park, creating impromptu laughs, smiles and memories wherever they go.

The Red Car News Boys roll into town on one of the shiny Red Car Trolleys, belting out “California, Here I Come!” Inspired by the spirit and style of Disney’s “Newsies,” the Red Car News Boys bring the latest headlines and engage their audience with fun songs of the ‘20s and ‘30s.

Over “On the Sunny Side of the Street,” the musical group Five & Dime arrives in Carthay Circle to jazz things up. This ensemble of friends and relations, headed up by a vivacious singer named Dime, has travelled down Route 66 all the way from Chicago in the hopes of making it big. Like everyone who comes to Buena Vista Street, great things await them just around the corner!

Stay tuned. We’ll have more to share about these entertaining new offerings coming to Disney California Adventure park as we get closer to the opening of Buena Vista Street on June 15.
