News: Avengers Assembling in Disney’s California Adventure in 2020


Everything’s coming up Marvel.

The Disney Parks Blog announced that new Marvel-themed lands are coming to Disneyland Resort (by way of California Adventure), Disneyland Paris, and Hong Kong Disneyland.

At DCA, it is reported that the new “Super Hero”-themed land will be taking over the area currently occupied by A Bug’s Land, which means no more Heimlich train. This was hinted at with the Avengers hatch that was installed next to Mission Breakout, pictured above. According to Disney Parks Blog, the Avengers and Spider-Man will be joining the Guardians of the Galaxy in this area. Does this mean we will be getting that rumored Spider-Man attraction in that area? It would be pretty cool if we did.

Disneyland Paris is getting an Iron Man themed ride, which is a “reimagined attraction” at their Walt Disney Studios Park. (I’m not familiar with that park, but a quick glance at the list of attractions could lead to some hints). Hong Kong Disneyland is getting an Ant-Man and the Wasp attraction to go along with the Iron Man Experience which is already over there.

This seems pretty cool. In my opinion, instead of closing the Heimlich ride, they should just leave all the giant food up and re-tool it into some kind of Ant-Man ride… but whatever.

They also released this video to get you all hyped up. Get to it!

News: At Long Last, Pizza Planet Arrives At Tomorrowland

Source: WDW News Today “Wait, isn’t this already in Tomorrowland?” Not exactly. For some reason, Disneyland has had a space-themed pizza restaurant inside of Tomorrowland since 1998, a full three years after the release of Toy Story , and decided to name it Red Rockett’s Pizza Port (not to be confused with the Pizza Port brewery) instead. However, thanks to Pixar Fest, Disneyland is FINALLY re-theming the restaurant to Pizza Planet. And while I’m not sure exactly what the above concept art is for (since I also found it on an Oh My Disney post from 2015 ) it will probably have a similar aesthetic. No word from the Disney Parks blog as to whether or not you’ll be able to win an alien from The Claw, but you will be able to purchase a cheeseburger pizza with “ketchup, yellow mustard and pizza sauce on a sesame seed crust and topped with cheese, caramelized onions, diced tomatoes, slider patties, a house-made burger sauce, and pickles.” Pixar Fest runs from April 13 to

News: Disneyland After Dark Goes Galactic

The Disney Parks Blog announced that they’re doing a second Disneyland After Dark event, entitled Star Wars Nite. Source: Disney Parks Blog Now I didn’t make it out to the previous event, Throwback Nite, but from what I’ve seen it was basically a Disney-sanctioned Dapper Day, set in the 50s, after hours, with select attractions open for guests to enjoy. There was also music and fun photo opportunities around the park. For Star Wars Nite, the event starts at 9:00PM on May 3rd, and features character encounters (now including Rey!), Star Wars photo ops, a collectible lanyard, free PhotoPass photos, and first access to May the 4th merch (literally the day before). Costumes seem to be encouraged. Per the Disneyland site, these attractions "and more" will be open: Star Tours, "it's a small world," Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and the Matterhorn Bobsleds. You can also watch the new “March of the First Order” mini-parade in Tomorrowland, and of course H

Best Disney Thing: Splash Mountain

Splash Mountain is the best Disneyland thing. Pop quiz: how many mountains are there in Disneyland? I think the answer might be four so far: the Matterhorn (based on a real mountain), Space Mountain (which I guess counts even though you never really see the mountain in it), Big Thunder Mountain (upon which there is a railroad) , and Splash Mountain . Splash Mountain is a log flume ride that opened in 1989, based on Song of the South, a 1946 movie that has never actually been released on home video in America since its release. You are, of course, familiar with the song. It won an Academy Award! Also, I’m sorry, but this will be stuck in your head all day. Splash Mountain combines some of the best elements of Disneyland rides: fun animatronic characters, a great song, and some pretty good thrills. And if you want to be soaked in water, there’s a non-zero chance that you will get soaked in water. Here’s a tip: bring a sandwich-sized bag so you can put your phone in it, an
