🎢 Summer is sneaking into Disneyland… and the resort seems to know something we don’t.

Crowds are building, shade is multiplying, Trader Sam’s is bringing back fan favorites, and Disney has teamed up with a weather company just as forecasters warn of a potentially wild summer ahead.

Meanwhile, a famous Disneyland icon is falling apart, a Tomorrowland eyesore refuses to disappear, and one lucky MiceChat team member got pixie-dusted in a way we’d never seen before.

Oh… and yes, the Halloween countdown has begun. 🎃

All the details and discussion 🔗⬇️

Crowds are growing, new shady spots are popping up, Kids Rule Summer begins, and Trader Sam’s brings back fan favorites at Disneyland.

🎃 Is Universal’s BEST after-hours event no longer Halloween Horror Nights?

🧛🏻‍♂️That sounds ridiculous… until you compare it to Fan Fest Nights.

One event offers guests interactive mysteries, live performers, guided adventures, dinosaur encounters, and experiences tailored to each franchise. 🦖

The other often boils down to: walk through maze, loud noise, jump scare, repeat. 🫣

That’s the argument one longtime Universal fan is making in a new editorial that’s already sparking debate in our office.

Is this editorial too critical? Or is Fan Fest showing Universal exactly how to reinvent HHN?

This one is likely to divide people.

Disney is giving Carousel of Progress a major update, complete with a new Walt Disney Audio-Animatronics figure, new decades, and a new vision of the future. But there’s a catch…

For more than 60 years, the attraction has reflected the world Walt Disney himself lived through, from the turn of the century to the dawn of the Space Age. The new version moves that timeline forward, meaning the attraction will no longer tell that same story. Disney is preserving the ride, but is something important being lost in the process?

Would you rather see Carousel of Progress updated for a new generation, preserved as a living piece of Disney history, or something else entirely?

We also included a full video of the current version before it changes.
