The new hotel project famously fell apart in 2018 after months of tension between city officials and Disney leadership. That $1 billion expansion included Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland and the construction of Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure, as well as a new parking structure and a new 4-star hotel at the west end of Downtown Disney. In exchange for that extension, Disney promised to invest $1 billion at the Disneyland Resort by 2024.
The Disneyland Resort also negotiated a 20-year ticket tax exemption in 1996, and extended the agreement for an additional 30 years in 2015. Had the measure won approval from the voters, events at Anaheim Stadium would also have been subject to the fee, but the tax proceeds would have been credited back to the Angels under terms of a 1996 lease agreement. Events at the city-owned Anaheim Convention Center would have been exempted from the tax.
The proposed tax would have applied only to events held at Anaheim venues with a capacity of more than 15,000 people, including the Disneyland Resort and the Honda Center. Anaheim City Council rejects 2% ticket taxĭisneyland visitors won't see a new 2% ticket tax added to their admission charge, after the Anaheim City Council rejected a proposal from Council member Jose Moreno to put the matter up for a vote with Anaheim residents in November. Winter 2023 could see the much-anticipated return of that short-lived parade, or perhaps yet another "limited-time run" of the Main Street Electrical Parade. We always recommend buying something you like as soon as you see it, but we suspect there will be some MSEP merchandise around for a while.ĭisney has made no announcement of a replacement for nighttime parade at Disneyland, and there's been no mention of the Paint the Night parade. While shops will certainly swap out Electrical Parade cookies for their Halloween Time replacements, large shipments of new Electrical Parade merchandise have been hitting the Disneyland Resort in recent weeks, bringing replenishments of previously sold-out souvenirs and even brand-new items. Is it time for the Main Street Electrical Parade to turn back into a pumpkin? MousePlanet file photo.ĭisney says the next month is the last opportunity for visitors to enjoy food offerings and merchandise themed to the Main Street Electrical Parade's 50th anniversary, but that may not be entirely the case. World of Color and Fantasmic will remain on the nighttime entertainment schedule. The "limited-time runs" of the Main Street Electrical Parade and Disneyland Forever fireworks end on September 1, bringing to an end the 2022 summer season and making way for the start of Halloween Time on September 2. The 2023 D23 Expo is officially sold out. Don't expect all of the top presentations to be available without a ticket, however-in 2019, D23 live-streamed the Disney Legends Ceremony, but not the Disney Parks and Resorts panels, nor any of the Studios panels. With no more tickets available for guests to attend in person, Disney has shared that they will live stream select panels and presentations from the Expo. The 2022 event runs September 9–11 at the Anaheim Convention Center. HEADLINES AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED HERE ON PAGE LOAD!
