It’s once again time for a photo report from our very own Chuck Canzoneri:
Disney now has a parking lot on the famous strawberry fields. I don’t think it’s open to the public yet though
It must have been busy, as Chuck had to park in Buzz Lightyear!
Lots of nice merchandise, including this Sorcerer Mickey with orange robes for some reason
A very musical Goofy from the Mickey Mouse Club collection
Shere Kahn from The Jungle Book
Pistol Packin’ Donald with Huey, Dewey, and Louie
The Three Little Pigs
Basil and Watson from The Great Mouse Detective, one of my personal favorite movies
Priority seating for Disney’s Electrical Parade is in the Golden Vine Winery right next to the Blue Sky Cellar
Sunday night the crowds were deep and thick for the Electrical Parade
New light up balloons that retail for $12
Here you can see the balloons work very nicely along with “Baroque Hoedown” (the main theme of Disney’s Electrical Parade)
The lead Tinkerbell float was very big. Larger than any photo could possibly convey
Nothing beats the sounds of “Baroque Hoedown” blasting through the speakers
The Cheshire Cat did a real neat disappearing trick
Here’s a short video of that effect
The improved Peter Pan unit
The Pinocchio section was interesting because it focused exclusively on Pleasure Island
Pixie Hollow Enchantment was one of the nicest upgrades for Summer Nightastic, well worth waiting around for
The lighting effects here are just simply stunning
Now on to Monday June 15th… There was some filming taking place for some Disney promos with Alexa Vega
Celebration Roundup and Barbecue was the most crowded Chuck had ever seen it. Over 20 tables in use
But it was still quiet compared to most of the park. In fact, there were record crowds on Monday as all Annual Passholders could finally catch the new Summer entertainment
This is Tower of Terror at 4pm. Large crowds and long waits were everywhere
This queue was for people returning with a Fastpass
These people were waiting for the rest of their party. Large crowds were everywhere you looked
Extended queue was up at Tower of Terror. Chuck decided to head out and take in the fireworks another day
Thanks for the report Chuck!
