After a delightfully empty summer season, this week brought the long-awaited return of huge crowds. But not for the reason most people (and the Disneyland Resort) were expecting. With a haunted attraction celebrating a huge milestone and the annual CHOC Walk bringing in thousands of extra guests, Disneyland felt like the summer vacation mecca that it is known and feared for. Let’s take a look at the Haunted Mansion’s 50th, updates around Star Wars land and CHOC Walk. Plus shocking news about the collapse of a section of the Matterhorn facade and the sudden failure of the Disneyland Railroad at Galaxy’s Edge.

Engine Down

Yesterday, around 2:45pm the Disneyland Railroad’s Ward Kimball blew out an axle on the Galaxy’s Edge trestle. The cars were evacuated and then pulled back to New Orleans Square, but the locomotive remained on the tracks for the remainder of the day as it couldn’t be towed back to the roundhouse without heavy reinforcements.

Some will recall that train conductors warned that the increase in grade of the Railroad between the New Orleans Station and the new Galaxy’s Edge bridges and waterfalls could put extra stress on Disneyland’s aging fleet of locomotives. We have no idea what precipitated this failure, but it does warrant investigation. Which we are sure Disney will do.  

, Disneyland Update – Matterhorn Mischief, Train Trouble, and Haunted Happenings

Unfortunately, with one train already down for refurbishment, that leaves just two trains for regular operations until engine no. 5 can be repaired. Be prepared for longer than normal waits for the Disneyland Railroad.

The Matterhorn Landslide

There was another unfortunate incident this week at Disneyland when a door-sized chunk of the Matterhorn facade fell off and partially closed the ride. This could potentially be the result of water damage from the nearby waterfall, but whatever the root cause, we hope there isn’t more compromised rock work on the mountain.

By the weekend, the damaged area was covered with a scrim.

, Disneyland Update – Matterhorn Mischief, Train Trouble, and Haunted Happenings

As a result the Tomorrowland-side was down and the wait times skyrocketed.

Star Wars Land Update

In the land at Disneyland’s edge, there have been a number of little changes. 

, Disneyland Update – Matterhorn Mischief, Train Trouble, and Haunted Happenings

Boarding Screens Removed

Those big screens that were intended to let the guest know when their boarding groups could enter Galaxy’s Edge have been removed from the park. Aside from a few short uses, the land has remained in “Open” condition, so the signs weren’t really needed.  However, they were the only indication to guests of where the entry to Galaxy’s Edge is.  Star Wars remains the ONLY land in the park without an entry sign.  

, Disneyland Update – Matterhorn Mischief, Train Trouble, and Haunted Happenings
The big boarding pass sign was removed from this Fantasyland planter and all other locations in the park.
, Disneyland Update – Matterhorn Mischief, Train Trouble, and Haunted Happenings
Signs point guests OUT of Galaxy’s Edge to Fantasyland and Frontierland . . . but nothing points you in. It’s also the only land with a completely blind entry. There are NO indications that anything is beyond those twisted entries into Star Wars land. With traffic in the land lower than the rest of the park at most times, perhaps those arrows pointing out should be replaced with signs pointing guests into the new land.

Droid Depot Reservations

Although the Droid Depot was rarely busy, guests now have the option of booking a reservation two weeks in advance. We like the idea of reservations in crowded spots, but we’re not sure that this location fits that bill.

Standby Availability for Oga’s

We’d like to address comments we’ve been seeing online about standby being available at Oga’s Cantina. While there are times that guests may be allowed to join a standby line outside the Star Wars bar, it is rare for that to happen. Your best bet is still to check reservation availability at Disneyland.com.  That’s the only way to guarantee your entry into the Cantina.  However, if you see very few people waiting out front, it’s worth asking if standby is available.

Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion: 50 Years of Magic, Mystery and Weirdness

 

Special Event

Disney held an expensive late-night party and merchandise event to celebrate the big anniversary.  For $300 guests were able to be first to buy limited-edition merchandise and then attend an after-hours party which included specialty haunted entertainment, food, and uncrowded access to some of Disney’s scarier rides. 

, Disneyland Update – Matterhorn Mischief, Train Trouble, and Haunted Happenings

Crypts were scattered throughout New Orleans Square and surrounding areas where ghosts from the Haunted Mansion came out to socialize with event guests.

Ballroom dancers spun near Pirates of the Caribbean.

And guests could ride attractions until 4am.

Aside from the star of the evening, the Haunted Mansion (with live actors throughout), guests could also ride Big Thunder, the Mark Twain (with SCAREolers aboard), Indiana Jones, the Jungle Cruise, and Tarzan’s Treehouse,

Merchandise

Event guests were first to buy special Haunted Mansion inspired art, clothing, pins, and artifacts. Including some awesome glowing jars containing famous Mansion ghosts. But by Friday morning, all the unsold goods (of which there were a lot) had made their way to Disneyana on Main Street and New Orleans Square.

A new cart bearing the souls of Mansion ghosts invite guests to adopt a spirit.

Imagineer Kim Irvine designed these collectible ears inspired by the Haunted Mansion. The Madame Leota figure in the center is extra personal to Kim, her Mother (Leota Toombs) was the actual model and namesake of the Mansion’s classic figure (and also the voice of Little Leota).

Meanwhile, in the little park across the way, there are some projects big and small as well.

With Marvel Construction suspending Red Car service, now is the right time for some refurbishment to the Trolley stop and tracks.  The vehicles are also getting some refurbishment backstage.

Villains Grove

Redwood Creek is getting something awesome this Halloween. Oogie Boogie’s Halloween Bash will be using this area for a Disney Villain focused haunt. With a musical score, special lighting, and a spooky feeling throughout, the trail will be a little step toward a spooky, but not terrifying, haunted house. I’m really looking forward to this one.

Safety First (A Fan’s Concern)

We received a letter and phone call from a reader this week who is concerned about the safety of disabled guests. Enhancements in the new Pixar Pals Parking Lot have created some confusion for blind guests and others who might not realize there are inconsistencies in how the resort marks safe and unsafe zones.  

Here’s the note: 

The Disneyland Resort has made significant improvements over the past several years, especially in preparation for the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.  Widening the sidewalks, leveling the curbs on Main Street U.S.A. and adding an additional elevator bay to the Pixar Pals parking Structure have been huge improvements for traffic flow and safety in the resort.  With so many projects going on, there are bound to be oversights and discrepancies, such as the procedures of the tram loading and unloading zones between the parking structures and Downtown Disney.
 
My main concern is how Disney Cast Members handle the “yellow line” and “yellow tactile pads” at the tram loading and unloading zones.  The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) describes the “tactile pads” as being used to notify those with visual impairments that the tactile pads are the last safe place before entering an area with vehicular traffic. 
 
In the parking structure, the yellow line is between the tactile pad and the trams, keeping everyone at a safe distance. 
 
, Disneyland Update – Matterhorn Mischief, Train Trouble, and Haunted Happenings
Yellow line and tactile pad in Pixar Pals loading area.
However, in Downtown Disney, the tactile pad is the yellow line and guests are asked to stand behind it, causing discrepancies with the ADA laws.  This is especially difficult for those with visual impairments/blind, as they can’t see the “Yellow Line” that cast members are asking them to stand behind.  In the structure, they feel the tactile pad and know to stop. 
 
, Disneyland Update – Matterhorn Mischief, Train Trouble, and Haunted Happenings
The whole tactile pad is yellow in Downtown Disney, a completely different design than the pads on the other end of the tram route. This causes great confusion for a blind guest as rules should be applied consistently for safety’s sake.
Our thanks to our readers for letting us know what they spot at the Disneyland Resort. Share your story with us.
