Mahomes to visit Disneyland Monday

A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that Mahomes visited Walt Disney World in 2022 after winning Super Bowl LVI. The visit was in 2020 following Super Bowl LIV.

Updated 2-13-23 1:20 a.m. with cavalcade information from Disney.

In a departure from the usual post-Super Bowl declaration, quarterback Patrick Mahomes announced that he is heading to Disneyland. The Disneyland Resort shared last week that they would host the winner of Super Bowl LVII on Monday, February 13, following the game in Arizona.

Mahomes visited Walt Disney World in 2020 after winning Super Bowl LIV. After this most recent victory, the two-time Super Bowl MVP joked that Disney would need to build more parks so that he could do a world tour.

Disney doesn't usually make details of these appearances public, but we received a media alert late Sunday evening. There will be a Super Bowl cavalcade on Main Street, U.S.A. featuring Patrick Mahomes at 1:30 p.m.  Prior to the cavalcade, Disney says Mahomes will spend the morning enjoying Disneyland with family and friends.

You may see Mahomes around the theme parks during the day as Disney does publicity photos with the stars at various locations. Again, these will be blocked off to the public, so don't expect any one-on-one time. We expect Mahomes and entourage to visit the new Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway attraction.

Disney may also set up a live broadcast location for the use of local television crews, and you may be able to watch an interview.  The most common spots for these set-ups are atop the Main Street train station, near Sleeping Beauty Castle, and at the "Christmas tree" point in Town Square.

Disneyland Postpones Toontown Reopening Due to Weather

The grand reopening of Mickey's Toontown at Disneyland has been delayed until March 19, 2023, park officials confirmed last Friday. The land has been closed since March of last year for an extensive renovation, and was originally scheduled to reopen on March 8, 2023.

A Disney official said, “Due to heavy winter storms that impacted our construction momentum, we are adjusting the reopening date of Mickey’s Toontown to March 19. We can’t wait for our Guests to visit and experience the reimagined land.”

In December 2022 and January 2023, a series of "atmospheric river" storms drenched California from top to bottom, bringing much-needed water and snow to the drought-plagued region. The storms also caused widespread flooding and mudslides, and apparently caused construction delays for Disney.

One portion of the new Toontown is already open to the public. Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway opened on January 27 during the launch of the Disney100 celebration. The new attraction is a duplicate of the ride which opened in 2020 in Walt Disney World, but features a brand-new ride queue which takes visitors on a tour of the El CapiTOON Theater. Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway remains open while Disney wraps up construction on the rest of the reimagined Toontown area.

Iger teases Avatar experience for Disneyland

During last week's Q1 FY23 earnings results webcast, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that an "exciting new Avatar experience" is coming to the Disneyland Resort. Absolutely no additional details were provided about this new experience, but Iger said he hopes to be sharing them very soon.

Avatar: The Way of Water is now the fourth highest-grossing movie worldwide, and it's not surprising that Disney would look to leverage that IP in some way at the Disneyland Resort, especially with the third installment of the franchise set for release at the end of 2024.

Still, we have no indication of how or where Avatar will fit into Disneyland, nor really how big of an addition this could bring.

An "Avatar experience" could mean anything from a meet-and-greet or virtual reality offering, up to a full land like Walt Disney World's stunning Pandora – The World of Avatar. Pandora has arguably one of the best attractions anywhere, but it wouldn't do to just re-create Avatar Flight of Passage without the entire land to back it up.

This and That

...This is the last week of the Lunar New Year celebration at Disney California Adventure, so be sure to use up any remaining Sip and Savor passes you may be holding on to.

...MousePlanet contributor Lisa Stiglic noted that the platinum Mickey Mouse statue installed on Main Street for the Disney100 celebration was mysteriously missing last week. We noted that the original statue had a misprint on it plaque. We're wondering if Disney removed the statue to fix the error, or if there was some other problem with the figure.

..."Marvel's Moon Girl and Dinosaur Devil" premieres this Wednesday, February 15 on Disney+, and fans can meet Moon Girl in person at Disney California Adventure starting the same day. A special one-day Moon Girl Celebration is planned for Wednesday, with a cavalcade down Hollywood Blvd. and a one-time-only stage show on the Hollywood Backlot stage. Following Wednesday's events, Lunella Lafayette, a.k.a. Moon Girl, can be found for a limited time in Avengers Campus.

...Disneyland has released the reopening date for the Indiana Jones Adventure attraction. The ride is now scheduled to reopen March 26, 2023.

...With new Toontown reopening March 19, and Indiana Jones Adventure reopening March 26, we're wondering if Disney won't

    • 2024 Disneyland Half Marathon – Sunday, January 14

We also recommend checking the convention calendar at the Anaheim/Orange County Visitor and Convention Bureau website. When looking at that site, remember to note both the number of people and the number of rooms resulting from each convention. A gathering of 25,000 people booking few room nights (indicating most will be driving in to the area for their meeting) can impact traffic around the resort much more than a crowd of 25,000 staying in area hotels. Of course, that second group is going to make finding a hotel room more difficult (and possibly more expensive), so it's best to book your own room as early as possible if you see that a big convention is in town during your trip.

Current Discounts and Promotions

Disneyland prices as of October 11, 2022.

Note: MousePlanet does not edit past Updates to reflect price increases; for up-to-date prices, check the most recent Disneyland Resort Update. Several current promotions offer discounted admission to the Disneyland Resort. For your convenience, we have grouped the discount offers based on the number of days the tickets are valid. Check out the category that best matches the amount of time you plan to spend at the resort, and pick the offer that works best for you. And keep those tips coming—let us know if you find a better or different offer, so we can share it with other readers!

This first section is a list of discounts on ticket-only purchases. Though it has become more common in recent years, Disneyland tickets are rarely offered at deep discounts unless you are a resident of Southern California or Northern Mexico. For residents outside that area, the best discounts available tend to be simple advance purchase discounts. If you know of any additional discounts, offers, promotions, or contests that should be listed in this section, drop us a line. Note, we are no longer listing offers from the Anaheim-Orange County Visitor & Convention Bureau, as their convenience fee negates any savings.

Don't get scammed! Never buy tickets from an unofficial or secondary outlet, such as through eBay or Craigslist. Never rent or purchase tickets from people approaching you outside the gates stating they have remaining days or leftover tickets. This practice is against the terms of use for Disneyland admission, and may result in denial of entry. It is also common for criminals to shoplift inactivated Disney theme park tickets from supermarkets to resell them. There is no way to determine if these tickets are valid until you try to use them to enter the parks. Only purchase Disney theme park tickets directly from Disney, an authorized seller, or travel agency like MousePlanet travel partner Get Away Today.
