Disneyland Offering Limited Time Freebie Experience in Hidden Gem Attraction
Disney California Adventure is about to be home to a limited time freebie experience. This is an update to an earlier version of this article that incorrectly reported that a now closed part of this space would be used for this offering. All of the details on what is coming to Disney California Adventure and the location for this new offering are below.

Disneyland Bringing New Offering to Animation Building Space Starting August 29, while supplies last, there will be a Disney Lorcana Collection Quest activation in Sorcerer's Workshop inside the Animation Building at Disney California Adventure. Disney Lorcana is a trading card game where players ("Illumineers") use six types of magical ink to summon versions of Disney characters ("Glimmers"). The game involves collecting cards, building decks, and strategically playing against opponents. During the Disney Lorcana Collection Quest activation this summer, guests will receive a free Disney Lorcana booster pack, and they will interact with other guests to find and trade cards. This activity will be free to all guests in the park. After they complete their quest, they will receive a Belle, Accomplished Mystic card. This card is the first of a new type of "Magical Places" promo card, signified by a castle turret symbol, which is exclusive to select Disney-owned and operated locations. The experience is being offered inside the Sorcerer's Workshop, which is part of the Animation Building experience. Here you can learn to draw a favorite Disney character, meet Anna and Elsa from Frozen, check out Turtle Talk With Crush, or learn to draw in the Sorcerer's Workshop. You should also generally check out the lobby, seen above, to experience some amazing film clips and raw animation from the Disney movies. This is a great place to escape the summer heat. We previously inaccurately shared a report that this new Lorcana offering would take place in the now closed Beast's Library in the Animation Building. We can now report that the Beast's Library space will NOT be used as part of this offering. The Beast's Library in the Animation Building used to be a space where guests could sit and take a quiz to see which Disney character they were. The room would occasionally shift in atmosphere, with lighting changes and other effects that made the space come alive. This was one of our favorite hidden gem experiences in the park to escape from the crowds, and we were sad to see it close. The experience closed back in December 2023 to become the new home of Disney Imagination Campus, which was moved from Walt Disney Imagineering Blue Sky Cellar to make way for the new Disney Vacation Club Welcome Center.

The details on this trading quest were first reported by @inkbornheroes on Instagram, though we have now confirmed that the event will not take place in the Beast's Library but in the general Sorcerer's Workshop. There is an easy confusion here as the Beast's Library was at one point the next room after the Sorcerer's Workshop. This article has been updated with new information. Previously, we reported that the Beast's Library attraction would be used as the space for this limited time experience.

Feature Video: Velvet Trip - The Bends
Velvet Trip's new music video 'The Bends' has all the flickering phosphor glow of technology lost in time, the texture of a lovingly worn-in VHS tape recorded late at night, and an irresistible groove that is impossible to not bop head to. It's the very definition of a "rage vibe". The Gadigal conceived, psychedelic experiment of Wiradjuri man Zeppelin Hamilton last week released a new EP, Glimmers , with 'The Bends' serving as the first official music video from a collection of five songs. Directed by Sydney-based creative Claire Salter, 'The Bends' is a trippy, glitchy, vintage VHS inspired journey with deep roots in the overarching creative direction of the EP. 'The idea started from the top and trickled down to me, so I'll try not to take too much credit!' says director Claire. 'The incredible mind behind Velvet Trip, Zeppelin Hamilton, approached me with a couple of 70s-inspired reference images and asked if I could turn them into a music video.' 'Zep had already begun reaching out to a creative team to collaborate with for the release of the Glimmers EP launch, including local contemporary photographer Macami and Brazilian-based analogue & VFX artist Rollinos. Both brought their own vision and mood boards, and my task was to fuse it all together and bring to life a project that combined all elements in a fresh way that honoured everyone's individual style.' The shoot came together across four performance sets and plenty of footage shot on a blank cyc for Rollinos to rotoscope and go wild with his VFX magic. 'Originally, the plan was to keep the set footage clean, contrasting it with the VFX-heavy shots' explains Claire. 'But after seeing Rollinos' first round of VFX, we changed course—more is more! (It was actually the first time he'd ever been told to go harder on effects!)' 'The shoot day started early—Zep rolled into Alchemy Studios at 8:30 am after a sunrise flight from Brisbane (like the rockstar he is) and headed straight into hair and makeup. Suzanna worked her magic to hide any signs of exhaustion. We were hit with a 30°C day after a cool week of rain—and Zep was immediately suited up in a three-layer outfit styled by Yuzhen, then asked to dance non-stop for 10 hours. (Yes, the fan got a solid workout!)' 'It was a tight day but we were lucky to have our incredible gaffer John Young (also a co-owner of Alchemy Studios), which made lighting transitions smooth and efficient. With only 10 hours to shoot stills and video, our DOPs Zac Heath and Will Valander ran dual 4K cameras the entire time to ensure Rollinos had plenty of material to work with.' That's approximately 10 hours of 4k footage needed to be clear (about 5 days to upload and the same to download… 🙃). We're so happy that the persistence paid off! 'These days film can be so calculated, so it's super exciting to try something uncertain' says Claire. 'And in the end, that risk made it all the more fun and exciting.'
