amusement park industry overview MouseSteps Weekly #154 Magic Kingdom Refurbs; Crystal Palace Review; Disneyland 60; Gaylord ICE!

In Mousesteps Weekly #154, we talk about these topics:

We begin at the Magic Kingdom, where we first check out the construction. Much of it is centered around the hub and Cinderella Castle (Dream Along with Mickey is closed for a month or so). The Main Street Philharmagic also plays a couple of sets daily in Plaza Garden East. After we leave the hub, we head to the Pirates of the Caribbean, which is closed currently through September 25th, 2015 for rehab. The former Adventureland Veranda is being renovated into what has been referred to as a Jungle Cruise themed restaurant possibly called the "Skipper's Cantina".

Lunch is at the Crystal Palace Buffet. Neither Jeff nor I have eaten here in 15 or so years, and we enjoyed a visit back for lunch (which ended up being dinner). Piglet, Pooh, Eeyore and Tigger made the rounds while we enjoyed a meal that included carved meats, salad, pasta and seafood.

We were at the Magic Kingdom to celebrate Disneyland's 60th, riding some of the original attractions. Those include Peter Pan's Flight, The Walt Disney World Railroad, and the Mark Twain. We enjoyed Wishes from Disney's Polynesian Resort before a visit to Trader Sam's Grog Grotto.

Next, we head to Disneyland for the 60th celebration. Our correspondent captured a look at the day, including Richard Sherman and Ashley Brown singing "Feed the Birds in front of Cinderella Castle. A cavalcade followed, with quite a few Disney characters joining original Cast Members that included Bob Gurr, Marty Sklar and Oscar Martinez (he is still working at the Carnation Cafe).

Our last stop is Gaylord Palms, where "Twas the Night Before Christmas" was announced for ICE!, as was the new show "Cirque Dreams Unwrapped". The show is included when at Gaylord Palms. We recommend extending your ICE! day to see the show, atrium and tree lighting! "Elf on the Shelf" is the theme of the scavenger hunt this year.

Recorded 07/25/15 Featuring Commentary from Denise Preskitt and Jeff Lange.
