In just a few days, Guests will be invited to team up with the Avengers and their allies to live out their Super Hero dreams as Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure park opens on June 4.
As Disney has shared, Avengers Campus is comprised of several heroic locations, each hosted by a different Super Hero or their ally to share their unique powers, technology and knowledge with recruits. However, there’s a lot that still need to be said. And I am here to help prepare you for your mission!
Here is everything you need to know as you plan your visit to Avengers Campus:

Theme Park Reservations and Tickets
First up, all recruits planning to visit Avengers Campus will need both a park reservation and valid ticket for Disney California Adventure park on the same date. Theme park reservations are limited due to capacity limitations and will be subject to availability, so be sure to plan out your mission before you head over.  
Avengers Campus Access
When Avengers Campus opens, Guests will be able to enter at the main entrance located right next to the Worldwide Engineering Brigade (also known as WEB), just past Carthay Circle Restaurant and across from Golden Vine Winery. 
There are two ways to gain access into Avengers Campus: Guests can either use the standby queue, or the virtual queue* option for WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure. Here’s how each option works:

• Standby queue:When Avengers Campus reaches capacity, a standby queue to enter Avengers Campus will be available to the right of its main entrance by the Worldwide Engineering Brigade (WEB) for those looking to take in the sights and sounds of Avengers Campus.
• Virtual queue for WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure:In order to experience WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, Guests are required to join the virtual queue, which is accessible via the Disneyland mobile app.** There is no standby line for this attraction. Similar to Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, virtual queue enrollment times will be twice daily, at 7 a.m. (which Guests can do from the comfort of their home or hotel room) and 12 p.m. To learn the details of how the system will work, visit this page for more information. Once a Guest’s boarding group is called, they should head to the left of the land’s main entrance along the parade corridor. Guests may enjoy Avengers Campus after their boarding group has been called and they have entered the land.

Disneyland and Play Disney Parks Apps
Alright recruits, it’s time to get tech savvy! As always, we highly recommend that Guests download the latest version of the Disneyland app on their mobile device prior to their visit.
Guests will be able to use the app to join the virtual queue for WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, place a mobile order for food and beverages, view park maps and more. Guests should be sure to have location services and Bluetooth enabled and turn on notifications to receive their virtual queue call back details and other important information.
Also, the new PhotoPass+ One Day** is a limited-time offer available through the Disneyland app. Guests can capture and share their unforgettable moments at Avengers Campus with unlimited downloads from the day of their visit!
If Guests are fans of the Play Disney Parks app***, they can also enhance their experience with interactive moments throughout Avengers Campus. They can discover new in-app experiences, like Avengers Campus trivia, plus land-based and attraction digital achievements!
Heroic Encounters
Spider-Man takes to the skies high above Avengers Campus, where Guests may also have heroic encounters with the likes of Iron Man, Black Panther, the Dora Milaje, Black Widow, Ant-Man and The Wasp – some of whom are making their first appearances at the park.
At a nearby Ancient Sanctum, Doctor Strange will train recruits in the mystic arts by bringing this ancient sanctum to life with powerful spells. Guests may even witness Spider-Man swinging into action high above Avengers Campus with gravity-defying, acrobatic feats never seen before in a Disney theme park.
Speaking of Spider-Man, Guests can put their web-slinging skills to the test and experience what it’s like to have powers on the new WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, the first Disney ride-through attraction to feature the iconic friendly neighborhood Spider-Man! Also while in Avengers Campus, Guests can help Rocket bust his fellow Guardians of the Galaxy out of the Collector’s Fortress on the fan-favorite Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!

Super Hero Sustenance
And with all that training, Guests are going to need to fuel up at some point! From a shawarma wrap, to the Choco-Smash CANDY Bar, Pingo Doce and more, there are several super rad dining options throughout the campus.  
We highly recommend that Guests plan ahead, use the mobile order service and pay with the Disneyland app for a contactless ordering experience at locations, including Pym Test Kitchen featuring IMPOSSIBLETM, Pym Tasting Lab and Shawarma Palace. Currently, Guests may only pick up a food and beverage mobile order if they are already inside Avengers Campus. It’s important to know that simply placing a mobile order at a food and beverage location in Avengers Campus does not grant Guests access to the land or the park. 

Mission-critical gear
Don’t forget to gear up for their epic adventure! There are three industrial mercantile shops set to outfit aspiring WEB members with all the latest gadgets, accessories and fashions.
Inside the land, beginning June 4, Guests will find WEB Suppliers and the Avengers Campus Supply Pod. Just outside of Avengers Campus, visit Disneyland Resort Backlot Premiere Shop featuring Avengers Campus (which is now open). One must-have gadget available at all locations is the WEB Tech! As Disney has shared, all Guests visiting WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure will be able to sling webs with Spider-Man in the most epic adventure yet. Those wishing to customize their experience on board the attraction can do so with wearable WEB Tech accessories, which gives them additional web slinging powers. Pretty awesome!
And remember, tucked into the ground floor of the Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! are hundreds of items curated in The Collector’s Warehouse that Guests might be tempted to add to their own collection.
Travel Updates
Lastly, I would be remiss not to mention a very important note on traveling to the Disneyland Resort right now. Guests planning a visit should be aware of the latest health and safety guidelines. Until June 15, only California residents may visit Disneyland Resort theme parks, and party size is limited to no more than three households.
Beginning June 15, 2021, we will once again be able to welcome Guests from outside of California back to Disneyland theme parks. As always, Disney procedures may change as they continue to update their health and safety processes based on guidance from the state of California and local health officials. To help you plan and prepare for your next trip to Disneyland Resort, Disney would like us to share the Disneyland® Resort “Know Before You Go” information with you by using the updated “Know Before You Go” microsite – Disneytraveltradeinfo.com/dlr. I  recommend that you check back on the website often, as information continues to be updated.


That’s all for now, recruits! It’s time to get ready for epic action beginning June 4!

As announced, Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park plan to reopen on April 30, with limited capacity! With this exciting news, we know you are eager to get back to the magic, and likely have questions about future visits.                                                               

When Disneyland reopen their two theme parks, they will have enhanced health and safety measures, and will limit capacity through a new theme park reservation system that requires all guests to obtain a reservation for park entry in advance. Theme park reservations will be available online, in advance only, for a specific date, subject to availability. 

Here’s some important information to help plan ahead: 

Theme Park Reservations: To enter Disneyland park or Disney California Adventure park, both a theme park reservation and valid admission ticket for the same park on the same date are required for guests ages 3 and up. Guests must have a valid theme park admission ticket in order to make a reservation. Theme park reservations will be limited and subject to availability and, until further notice, only California residents may visit the parks, and in groups no larger than 3 households, in line with current state guidelines. Given the residency requirement you can only make a reservation if you live in the state of California. 

The theme park reservation system will launch on April 12, and guests with existing valid theme park tickets can begin making park reservations for the days that their ticket is valid. Theme park ticket sales will resume on April 15, and guests without park tickets may begin purchasing tickets and making park reservations. As a reminder, ticket expiration dates were extended for many outstanding tickets. To accommodate as many types of ticket holders as possible, park reservations for select dates may be made available on a rolling basis. Ticket calendars will be updated on a rolling basis. Check for updated availability. 

Here are some key dates to remember:

• April 9: Guests who currently hold a theme park ticket can check available days for 1-day ticket type beginning April 9 on Disneyland.com/ParksUpdates.
• April 12: The theme park reservation system will open no earlier than 8 a.m. PT on April 12 and guests who already have valid theme park tickets may begin making park reservations.

The beloved Partners statue, created by famed Disney sculptor Blaine Gibson, features Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. The photo above left was taken at its original unveiling on Nov. 18, 1993, at the hub in Disneyland park to commemorate Mickey’s 65th birthday. 

Over time, the bronze had oxidized, and because of the applied patina, acrylic polymer and wax, it required a more intensive process than just a simple cleaning or polishing. Over four days, an artisan utilized a process using crushed walnut shells to gently strip the figure down to the bare bronze. After cleaning, various chemicals were applied and heated with a blowtorch to create a reaction and fuse with the bronze. The figure was coated in a polymer to protect the patina, then coated with a very thin layer of wax. ​

As Disney previously announced, Downtown Disney District will begin reopening on July 9 in line with state's reopening guidelines. Disney is pleased to welcome back a variety of shopping and dining experiences during this initial phase, including the flagship World of Disney store. 
Disney is following guidelines from health authorities and government agencies, as well as applying learnings from the phase reopening at Disney Springs in Florida to guide their reopening plans. With the health of guest and Disney cast members at the forefront of planning, several operational changes will be implemented based on guidance from health authorities to promote physical distancing and cleanliness throughout the Downtown Disney District. 

During the initial reopening phase, Downtown Disney District will have capacity measures in place, as well as limitations on parking and operating hours. Guests will be directed to self-park at Simba lot (at Disneyland Drive and Katella Ave). Please follow signs for clearly defined entrances and exits. In addition, Downtown Disney District hours will be 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., daily. Individual location hours may vary. 

Additional measures and information will be shared closer to the reopening date. 

Pending state and local government approvals, Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park plan to reopen on July 17.  In addition, Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel will begin to reopen on July 23.

It's almost time for magic as Disney's prepares for the reopening of Walt DIsney WOrld Resort theme parks, starting July 11 with Magic Kingdom Park and DIsney's Animal Kingdom and on July 15 Epco and Disney's Hollywood Studios. Disney is taking a deliberate approach that includes limits on attendance and controlled guest density to align with guidance form health and government authorities on physical distancing. Disney is also using technology to power creative solutions as they develop new ways for guest to visit the MOST MAGICAL PLACE on Earth in this unique environment and we are here to give you all the latest details. 

To manage attendance during this reopening period Disney is introducing the new Disney Park Pass system. During this time, all guests with a ticket or Annual Pass will be required to make a reservation in advance for each park entry, using this new online tool on DisneyWorld.com.

Here are a few important details to know about this new system:

• You will also need a valid theme park ticket or Annual Pass that's linked to your My Disney Experience account.
• If you have a Disney Resort Hotel reservation, be sure to link it to this My Disney Experience account beforehand, as well.

Once you have logged into your My Disney Experience account and linked your ticket, you will have access to a calendar of available reservation dates for each theme park. If you have a multi-day ticket, you will be required to make a park reservation for EACH date of your visit. Families and friends can link their tickets together and look to arrange theme park entries at the same time. 
PLEASE NOTE, park reservations are LIMITED in number and are subject to availability. Availability can change until the reservation is finalized. At this time, guests will be able to select one park per day; visiting more than one park per day will be temporarily unavailable upon the reopening of the theme parks due to attendance limitations. Guest with existing tickets that include the Park Hopper Option or Park Hopper Plus Option have options available to them for ticket modifications and cancellations.

When Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opens at the Disneyland Resort one week from today, you will be able to ride one of the most ambitious, advanced and immersive experiences ever undertaken by Walt Disney Imagineering. Already open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida, this epic adventure blurs the lines between fantasy and reality on a scale never seen before in a Disney attraction. So who is ready to ride this new amazing ride? 

Disney has offered seven ways to make the most out of your visit to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and planning tips for the highly anticipated opening of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance on Jan. 17 at Disneyland park and here they are:
1. Download the official Disneyland mobile app
First things first. The Disneyland app* allows you to navigate that land and even utilize the mobile ordering feature at select dining locations when you are in the land. Be sure to download before you go!
2. Plan around your attraction experience
Starting Jan. 17 as needed, a virtual queue for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance may be implemented to help deliver the best possible guest experience, allowing guests to explore other areas of the park while waiting for their turn to ride. The Disneyland app will have a dedicated module, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance – Access by Boarding Group, available from the main page. Here’s how it will work:

• Request to join a boarding group to ride the attraction, once you have entered Disneyland park. The virtual queue will not be available until published park opening hours.
• Boarding groups will be sent a push notification when it is their turn to enter the attraction queue and you can monitor status of boarding groups from the app.
• There also will be the ability to join a boarding group from select locations inside Disneyland park, if you are not using the app. The boarding group is tied to admission that will be scanned upon entry of the attraction.
• Signage throughout the park will also display boarding group status.
• Admission into Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will be subject to capacity, and having an assigned boarding group will not guarantee entrance to the attraction.

3. Make a reservation for select experiences
Whether you’re looking to craft your own lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop, build your very own custom astromech droid unit at Droid Depot, or sip on a delicious concoction at Oga’s Cantina, these three locations offer advance reservations up to 60 days in advance. These popular experiences book up quickly, so be sure to check out the Disneyland Resort website or the Disneyland app to make your reservations today!
4. Display your affiliation with the rebellious Resistance or the intimidating First Order
You’re encouraged to live out your Star Wars story and dress the part while visiting Batuu, however, keep in mind the Disneyland Resort costume policy is in effect. While costumes may not be worn by guests 14 years of age or older, appropriate bounding—dressing in outfits inspired by Star Wars—is permitted.
5. Find a buddy to ride with you
Head to Batuu’s marketplace to check out the Creature Stall. You may find an exotic creature or critter from around the galaxy to accompany you aboard Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, including a sassy Kowakian monkey-lizard or an adorable porg!
6. Explore Black Spire Outpost with your Star Wars: Datapad through the Play Disney Parks App
If you’ve traveled to Batuu, you may be familiar with the Star Wars: Datapad, a land-wide interactive experience available through the Play Disney Parks mobile app.* There are so many ways to explore with your Datapad, including choosing to support the Resistance or First Order by selecting new jobs within the app as you move through the Resistance clearing and towards the new attraction.
7. Follow the experience with a refreshing treat
After escaping the clutches of the dark side, treat yourself to a local delicacy in Batuu – Blue Milk and Green Milk! Available at the Milk Stand, these frosty confections are an invigorating, refreshing drink. Pair your milk with a sweet, savory snack made with popcorn from Kat Saka’s Kettle. Try the new chocolate popcorn with Crait Red Salt – yum!
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opens Jan. 17 at the Disneyland Resort. Rising Moons!
