The Disney Pin Scavenger Hunt will start on August 4, 2016. The Pin Quest will require you to hunt around the park solving clues to give you the opportunity to purchase new pins. You’ll need to collect stamps from NavigatEAR cast members at a certain location before you can continue. The participating locations include:
- Main Street, U.S.A. – 20th Century Music Company
- Fantasyland – “it’s a small world” Toy Shop
- Frontierland – Westward Ho Trading Co.
- Tomorrowland – Little Green Men Store Command
- New Orleans Square – The Pieces of Eight Shop
- Critter Country – Pooh Corner
It appears that As part of the “Adventure Kit” (the Starter kit) you will have a decoder that will require you to line up your pins to determine your next location. Once you have solved all six clue cards, you will be eligible to purchase the QuestEAR pin completer pin. Here is the price breakdown:
- Adventure Kit – $14.99
- Clue Cards – $9.99 (each)
- QuestEar Pin (only available of you complete all six clue cards) – $4.99
The total price to play this will be approx $80 (+ tax) but AP discounts will apply.
The Nightmare Before Christmas overlay is coming and The Haunted Mansion will be closing between August 22, 2016 through September 9, 2016 to make the switch. Try to plan accordingly because the overlay will be around until January 2017.
We’re very happy to hear that Disneyland is bringing back live music to the Tomorrowland Terrace (even if it is for a limited time). One of the bands that Heyzen has seen perform is Suburban Legends (a Ska band originally from Huntington Beach, CA, now residing in Santa Ana). Check out the video clips of them performing A Dream Is A Wish and a live version of Under The Sea from a performance they did at the House of Blues in Cleveland:

After months of rumors circulating, during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, officially confirmed that ‘Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout’ is coming to Disney California Adventure. The new ride attraction experience will begin summer 2017. Here is a description of the ride from the Disney Parks Blogs:
Deep inside his fortress-like collection, the mysterious Taneleer Tivan (aka The Collector) is displaying his newest acquisitions, the Guardians of the Galaxy. They are trapped in customized display cases, suspended over a vast abyss. Unbeknownst to their unscrupulous captor, the intrepid Rocket has escaped and is enlisting the Collector’s VIP guests for help. Guests board a gantry lift, which launches them into a chaotic and hilarious adventure as they join Rocket in an attempt to break his fellow Guardians out of captivity.
Check out the announcement video below:
