Fans of Disney's Electrical Parade and visitors planning summer trips to the Disneyland Resort received an unpleasant surprise last week when it was announced that Disney's Electrical Parade will be heading to the Magic Kingdom in April to take part in Walt Disney World's Summer Nightastic promotion. Like the 2009 Disneyland Resort promotion of the same name, Summer Nightastic will feature a "pixie-dusted" version of the Electrical Parade and a new fireworks show, though WDW will debut an enhanced version of the Tower of Terror instead of a new Fantasmic dragon.
The move gives Disney's California Adventure park the opportunity to focus on its debut of the World of Color show later this spring without having to deal with the logistics of crowd control for both shows in a park that will still be cluttered with construction walls. Disney has not given any indication when or if the parade will return to California, nor to which park. There have been rumors that the parade might move to Disneyland once World of Color debuts, and this could be a way for Disney to stage the triumphant return of the Electrical Parade to Main Street.
If you want to catch a final look at Disney's Electrical Parade before it "glows away" for the summer, the show will be presented nightly March 19 through April 11, and again April 14–18.
Walt Disney Imagineering was "exercising the systems" of Captain EO last week, and put out a call for interested cast members to attend preview showings Friday afternoon. The announcement posted to cast members included the warning "keep in mind that while show elements may be active, the attraction is not yet complete or ready for the public," and reminded cast members that "these opportunities comes the responsibility to adhere to our Company's policies and guidelines on proprietary information and intellectual property." Cast members were told not to talk or post about their experiences.

The Disneyland Resort has not made any announcements about possible opening dates, and, with many of the Disneyland Resort publicists in Walt Disney World last week for that Resort's big Summer Nightastic press event, it was unlikely that Disneyland would schedule a newsworthy event at the same time. We've heard that Imagineering was targeting February 18th as the public opening date, assuming last week's tests went well, and we'll keep readers updated as we learn more.
As we reported last week, 10 protesters, including seven Disneyland Resort Hotel cast members, began a weeklong hunger strike Tuesday night. The demonstration is the latest in a series of protests that have marked the two-year-long labor dispute between the Disneyland Resort and Unite Here Local 11, which represents workers at the three Disneyland Resort Hotels. The fast began with an informational picket outside the Paradise Pier Hotel, and continued with a candlelight vigil in an adjacent parking lot where Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers of America, addressed the crowd. Adrienne Vincent-Phoenix attended the kick off rally, and posted a full report and additional photos in her MousePlanet Blog (link).

On Wednesday morning, those who were fasting had pitched individual tents along the sidewalk outside the Grand Californian, and set up a number of signs and banners facing the street. They originally committed to remain on site for at least a week, though one of the participants ended his fast after the first night on the advice of the medical staff who are monitoring them. Two of the fasting protestors are writing about their experience on the union's Web site (link).

Throughout the week, the union scheduled a series of protest and demonstrations, including a "make-a-bed" rally where housekeepers pressed their claim that new bedding at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel can cause injuries. On Saturday, Tom Morello of the group Rage Against the Machine performed at the union's "Day of Music" protest, an event that closed a portion of Walnut street adjacent to the Disneyland Hotel for several hours.

An hour before Tuesday's protest began, union officials responded to Disney's renewed request for both parties to sit down with a federal mediator. According to union spokeswoman Leigh Shelton, Local 11 has agreed to meet with the mediator, and is discussing possible meeting dates with Disney. Shelton said that, since union members rejected Disney's offer last June, Local 11 expects that Disney has a new offer to discuss, and has asked Disney for an advance copy of any new proposal. Disney has not indicated that they have a new offer to make, and has previously characterized June's proposal as their "last, best and final" offer.

The weeklong series of protests continues with a rally at 1pm today featuring Assemblyman John Perez, and the fast is expected to conclude tomorrow evening at a rally outside the Paradise Pier Hotel.
Today (February 15) is the last date for Disneyland Resort annual passholders to purchase discounted tickets to select 2010 Food & Wine Festival Signature Events. Discounted tickets and early registration are available for Taste, the four Winemakers dinners, and the new Brewmaster dinner. The discounted tickets must be purchased through the special offer page (link). You will need to log in to your Disneyland.com account to make reservations.
Online registration for all other Signature Events, including the popular Napa Rose Cooking School and Sweet Sundays events, starts tomorrow, February 16, 2010 at 10:00 am (link). As of this writing, Disney had not yet released any details about the Sweet Sundays events, and the lineup of participating chefs and restaurants remains a mystery. We'll post an update once further details are available.
A new Riedel Glass Tasting event was just added to the schedule. Two sessions will be offered - Saturday, April 24 and Friday, May 28, and is $90 per person. Each participant will receive a set of four Riedel Vinum series lead crystal wine glasses to take home after the tasting.
As a reminder, if you're planning to attend any of the seated events with friends or family, you should make your reservations in the same transaction to ensure you are seated together. Guests who make their reservations in separate transactions risk being seated at different tables, and, as several MousePlanet readers discovered last year, it's difficult or impossible for seating arrangements to be changed the day of the event.
Updated 2/15 12:30
Disney has released a schedule for most of the Sweet Sundays events. All events are $70 per person, plus tax. Scheduled to attend:
* April 18: To Be Announced
* April 25: The Art of Chocolate presented by Ghirardelli Master Chocolatier
* May 2: Richard Ruskell, Executive Pastry Chef, Montage Beverly Hills Hotel
* May 9: Matt Lewis & Renato Poliafito, Baked [New York City and Charleston, SC]
* May 16: Jorge Sotelo, Executive Pastry Chef, Disney's Grand Californian Hotel
* May 23: Elaine Ardizzone & Donna Cellere, Sweet Cheeks Baking Co. [San Diego, CA]
As promised, lots of construction photos this week for those who just can't get their fill of bulldozers and dirt lots. The Rivers of America refurbishment project continues, and a look through the construction wall reveals that the track that guides the Mark Twain and Sailing Ship Columbia is being completely replaced.

When we posted photos of the Silly Symphony Swings last week, one reader grumbled that all of the images around the top of the new ride were identical. Take a closer look—each image is different, and should appear to come to life like a Zoetrope as the ride spins.

Work continues on the World of Color viewing area and show platform, and it looks as if crews are preparing the viewing area to open, finishing the surfaces and painting railings. Four new arched trellises have been installed over the walkways.

...Disneyland's merchandise team announced last week that a new "Disney Perfectly Princess Birthday party experience" will begin in April. This joint venture between the merchandise and foods department is available to customers who book makeovers at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Packages will go on sale in March through the (714) 781-STYLE (714-781-7895) reservation line, and we'll post pricing and additional details when they are available.

...MousePlanet reader "Tinkermommy" alerted us that the Walt Disney Travel Company has extended the spring Annual Passholder hotel discounts through March 24. The discount offers Annual Passholders up to 40% off select hotel rooms. To book, call WDTC at (714) 520-5045 and ask for code "AP8."
...The Orange County Register's Around Disney Blog reported last week that The Shops at Anaheim GardenWalk will be sold in a foreclosure auction on March 9 (link). The outdoor shopping center, located just across Harbor from the Disneyland Resort entrance, has struggled to attract and retain retail and restaurant clients since opening in 2008.
...Visitors planning trips to the Disneyland Resort should make a point to check the Current Refurbishment/Attraction Closures section each week for the most recent updates. The Disneyland Resort Web site currently only publishes refurbishment information about six weeks in advance. Be sure to check the most recent Park Update (link) for the latest changes, as MousePlanet does not edit past Park Updates to reflect changes.

Several current promotions offer discounted admission to the Disneyland Resort. For your convenience, we have grouped the discount offers based on the number of days the tickets are valid. Check out the category that best matches the amount of time you plan to spend at the resort, and pick the offer that works best for you. And keep those tips coming—let us know if you find a better or different offer, so we can share it with other readers!
This first section is a list of discounts on ticket-only purchases. Though it has become more common in recent years, Disneyland tickets are rarely offered at deep discounts unless you are a resident of Southern California or Northern Mexico. For residents outside that area, the best discounts available tend to be simple advance purchase discounts.
If you know of any additional discounts, offers, promotions, or contests that should be listed in this section, drop us a line (link).

Three Day Park Hopper - Regularly $204/$174 |

Four Day Park Hopper - Regularly $229/$199 |
Promotional 4-Day Park Hopper Bonus Ticket ($161) – A discounted price for advance purchase through the Disneyland Web site (link). The promotional Park Hopper ticket is valid January 5, 2010 thru April 29, 2010, and must be purchased in advance of your trip - you can't get this discount at the ticket booths. "Bonus Tickets" include one early admission day (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday). Costco 4-Day Park Hopper Ticket ($159.95) – A special offer for Costco members who are also residents of Southern California (link). Unlike some recent offers, this ticket has no "fuse" - you can use the first admission today, and have almost a full year to use the remaining admission days before the ticket expires on August 23, 2010. The ticket is blocked out the week between Christmas and New Years (inclusive of both holidays), and for the week of March 26 to April 4, which gives you an idea of what Disneyland expects to be the peak Spring Break period. The ticket is not blocked out on any other holidays - including Labor Day, Thanksgiving or even the 4th of July - and can be upgraded to any Annual Passport except the SoCal Select pass. The Costco Web site states in three different places—including a bold, bright red headline—that visitors "Must reside within ZIP codes 90000-93599" and that "Proof of residency required upon redemption." The ticket you purchase at Costco is a valid admission ticket, and you can take it directly to a main entrance gate to use it. We've been told that, to prevent the unauthorized "transfer" of tickets between visitors (ie, you use the first two days of the ticket and give it to a friend to use the second two days), visitors will be required to write their name on the ticket when it is first used for admission, and to show ID with that same name upon subsequent admissions. Obviously minor children will be exempt from the ID requirement, but will also be required to write their name on the ticket when it is first used. Adults should plan to have ID with them to use the ticket. Advance Purchase 4-Day Park Hopper Bonus tickets ($199/$169) – A discounted price for advance purchase through the Internet or select dealers.
