Sol Cal Deal Prices Go Up

January 2, 2011 By Daniel Hale

From OC Register:
Disney hiked the price of its annual two-day ticket deal for Southern California residents — a promotion that begins Sunday (today).
Southern California residents can pay $99 for two days at Disneyland Resort parks — Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. (The usual cost for a single-day, one-park pass is $76).

In recent years, Disney sold two-for-one park tickets to Southern California residents at the start of the year, roughly January to May, when attendance is down. Last year’s deal cost $72. Read about last year’s 2-for-1 Disney deal.

The new Southern California tickets do give more flexibility than the previous ones.

The old two-for-one deal required guests to go to one park on one day and the second park on another day. Both trips had to occur within 30 days of each other.
This year’s ticket can be used at either park — two visits at one park or one visit at each park. The two trips can happen any time between now and May 14.
“Our new offer gives local residents flexibility to choose which park, and a longer time period in which to visit,” said Betsy Sanchez, a Disneyland Resort spokeswoman.
Buyers can upgrade their tickets to “park hoppers” — meaning they can go to both parks on the same day — for $10 more.

Disney Parks Reach Capacity with Holiday Crowds

December 30, 2010 By Daniel Hale

From the OC Register:

Disneyland traditionally fills up during the holiday season, often prompting the park to temporarily shut its gates.

But this week’s crowds appear to be bigger than usual at both parks. Perhaps that was because some visitors postponed trips originally planned for last week until the heavy rain arrived.

Disney stopped visitors from entering both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure after the parks filled to capacity Tuesday.

It was the second day in a row for restrictions at Disneyland, which was stuffed by 10 a.m — just two hours after the park opened.

Disney California Adventure’s gates were closed shortly before 1 p.m.

Disneyland ride closures schedule for early 2011

December 19, 2010 By Daniel Hale

From The Examiner:

Here are the dates of ride and attraction rehab closures at Disneyland from now (mid December) thru the end of January 2011:

Star Tours – CLOSED through to May 2011
Actually technically Star Tours is closed permanently– at least as it was once known. The ride is getting a complete makeover (hence the length of the closure) to reopen in the Spring as “Star Tours 2”.

Haunted Mansion – 1/3/11 through 1/13/11
This closure happens at least twice a year. The first to prepare it for Haunted Mansion Holiday (The Nightmare Before Christmas overlay), and this one to return the Mansion to it’s regular self again.

Mark Twain – 1/10/11 through 1/12/11
Just a couple of days to give it’s undercarriage a bit of a “who’s your father.”

Small World – 1/18/11 through 1/27/11
Same deal as the Haunted Mansion as the sparkling colorful lights are removed from the attraction until next Christmas.

Splash Mountain – 1/18/11 through 5/26/11
No official word on why it is scheduled to be closed for four months which means it is likely just a major refurbishing and January thru May are always the best times to accomplish such overhauls.

King Arthur Carousel – 1/31/11 through 2/2/11
