Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland Resort Reopening March 26, 2023

According to the Disneyland app and website, Indiana Jones Adventure is scheduled for refurbishment through March 25 and will reopen on March 26, 2023.

Interesting. A lot of sites are speculating that once Indy opens, Disneyland's Splash Mountain will close (as there is limited number of E-tickets on that side of the park). We'll have to see if Disney announce anything now

Tower of Terror Refurbishment Completed, Returns to Full Capacity at Hollywood Studios

All four lift elevators and both drop shafts are in use again, with the Foxtrot refurbishment ending on February 9th and the Tower of Terror attraction returning to full capacity on Febaruy 10th. As expected, wait times are roughly half of what they were during recent weeks as a result of the increased capacity.

This is hilarious! From what I’ve seen, I think ChatGPT is more style than substance—but I do like how it emphasizes that we will get gumbo on this ride. I hope we can finish eating it before the drop.

Personally I was hoping for beignets raining down on us during the drop

Personally I was hoping for beignets raining down on us during the drop

That would be better than gumbo raining down on us.

Email from Bob Iger to D23 Members that went along with the Disney100 Trailer:

Dear D23 Members –

A century after Walt and Roy Disney first opened for business in 1923, their remarkable legacy lives on in ways they never could have imagined.

Later tonight, we’ll premiere a very special commercial during the Super Bowl honoring 100 years of unrivaled storytelling and innovation, and I wanted to personally share it with all of you first.

For 100 years, Disney has provided joy and wonder for the whole world to enjoy. We’re honored to have created the moments that make your heart sing, your mind soar, your eyes teary, your stomach drop, and your imagination come alive, as you’ve embarked on so many incredible journeys with our stories and characters throughout your lives. You in particular, our most loyal and ardent fans, truly understand what it is to experience the magic of Disney.

Over the coming year, our Disney100 celebrations will give us the chance to say thank you to generations of fans, and to honor the brilliant storytellers whose talents and imagination created the exceptional achievements that make Disney such an enduring part of the global culture. We’ll have numerous opportunities for fans and families of all ages to relive their most beloved Disney memories and to delight in new content and experiences.

Walt once said, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” That’s how I feel about this great company he started a century ago. We have a lot more magic to create, and I can’t wait to share it with the world.

So, as we commemorate our historic anniversary, I want to thank you for helping us carry forth the legacy that Walt inspired all those years ago. I hope you like this wonderful video, and we look forward to sharing more exciting Disney100 updates with you soon.

With gratitude,
Bob Iger

I watched it, it was nice.

 

[OKW Lover]

I watched it and thought it was very well done. As you would expect from Disney.

 

[nalabear]

Disneyland will never be done.... Disneyland forward -- here we go!

 

[Duckbug.Ducktales]

Disneyland will never be done.... Disneyland forward -- here we go!

An announcement for that at D23 this year would make me so happy!

What really surprised me is that there's absolutely nothing in there about "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". Not one single image. They completely ignored it.
