Disneyland CLOSING Other Private Hotel Theme Park Entrance For Construction
Disneyland has spent the last several months installing updated theme park entry gates around the resort, including at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa private theme park entrance that just reopened to guests. These new gates are ADA-compliant and utilize facial recognition technology to scan guests into the park. You can see information on how these new Disneyland entry gates work for key details you need to know before you visit. Now, Disneyland has announced that its other private hotel theme park entrance to Disney California Adventure will be closing to install these new entry gates. Keep reading for more details… READ MORE – Just as the Grand Californian private theme park entrance to Disney California Adventure reopened, Disney has announced that its other private hotel entrance to the park near Pixar Place Hotel will be temporarily closed. This entrance, located across the street from the Pixar Place Hotel, will be closed starting today through mid-June for construction to install the new entry gates. Right now, there aren't any turnstiles to enter at this location, as the process is just that a Cast Member scans your ticket after you go through security. Disney shared that during this closure, guests can use the newly reopened Grand Californian's private theme park entrance located near GCH Craftsman Bar and Grill. This is a slightly further walk for Pixar Place Hotel guests, as you have to cut through the hotel to get to this entrance. This batch of new entry gates will be the final installation at the resort for this project, as all of the other theme park entrances across the resort are utilizing this new system.

Your next trip to Disney World just got a lot more expensive
Disney World has quietly raised its prices for next year, turning the screws on family vacations. Walt Disney World put its 2026 tickets on sale on Tuesday, and eagle-eyed observers noticed the costs have ticked up. Prices for one-day tickets to Disney World in Florida have increased by roughly $10 for January to October 2026, depending on which package visitors choose. For example, the maximum price for a one-day ticket to Disney's Animal Kingdom rose from $169 in 2025 to $179 in 2026. Similarly a one-day visit to EPCOT will soon cost $194, up from $184 for tickets for January to October this year. Disney's Hollywood Studios currently costs up to $184 but will rise to $199 next year - the highest increase of any ticket so far. A one-day ticket to Magic Kingdom remained constant at $199. The highest prices could still be yet to come, Disney expert Gavin Doyle, of Mickey Visit, explained. This is because Disney has not released the ticket prices for November or December 2026 yet. These are usually the busiest months of the year and have the highest priced tickets. Doyle expects one-day Magic Kingdom tickets for November and December to hit as high as $205 for 2026. 'These higher prices reflect expected demand for the most crowded days at Disney World throughout the year which is typically aligned with school breaks and holidays,' Doyle said of the price increases. Doyle also pointed out that despite the price increases for the most expensive days, some 2026 dates are actually less expensive than the same period a year before. 'Particularly in July, there seems to have been an acknowledgement that even though these dates are during summer break, they are not the most popular dates of the year and prices are lower,' he explained. Disney has doubled the cost of its one-day tickets to Disney World in the last decade, adding more than $100 per person, according to Mickey Visit data. Despite the consistent price hikes, Disney World is still offering an array of discounts to encourage visitors to the park, especially at non-peak times. Visitor numbers have yet to recover to pre-pandemic levels, and dips in international travel following increased border security and President Donald Trump's threats against countries such as Canada will likely have an effect. Despite the consistent price hikes Disney World is still offering an array of discounts Gavin Doyle launched the website Mickey Visit to offer helpful tips to cash-strapped travelers 'I've heard from a number of Canadian visitors who are cancelling US trips, including Disney visits. I expect we'll start to see this showing up in spring break numbers from this year,' Doyle wrote on his blog. Canadians have begun boycotting American vacations after Trump launched aggressive tariffs against the nation and threatened to make it the '51st state.' The number of Canadians making trips to the US by car dropped 32 percent in March compared to a year ago, according to new Statistics Canada figures. It marked the third straight month of declines - including a 23 percent plunge from the month before. Air travel also took a hit, down 13.5 percent in March year-over-year.

Several Cars Have Caught Fire at Disneyland Parking Structure
A fire just broke out at the Disneyland parking structure with firefighters responding now to the emergency. We have all the details on the response from local firefighters and footage from those at Disneyland today. It's been a chaotic time for the Disneyland parking structures this month as just last week a police chase ended in the Pixar Pals parking structure and caused a lockdown at Disneyland. READ MORE- A fire has broken out at the Pixar Pals parking structure today with the Anaheim Fire Department confirming to local news stations that it started when a Toyota RAV4 caught fire and spread to about four cars nearby. Disneyland officials have not responded to request for comment and instead directed news stations to refer to the comments released by the Anaheim Fire Department. Firefighters are still responding to the fire and no details have been shared yet about how the fire started. No injuries have been reported. Videos from those in the park show smoke rising from the Pixar Pals parking structure which you can see in the video above. While the video text says Mickey and Friends parking structure, commenters pointed out the fire is actually burning from the Pixar Pals parking structure. Access to the Pixar Pals parking structure is limited so first responders can handle the situation. UPDATE: According to Scott Gustin on X, Levels 1-3 of the Pixar Pals parking structure are now open but Levels 4-6 will open at a later time. As many as 12 vehicles sustained some damage as a result of the fire which appears to have been contained by firefighters. Don't miss the latest Disneyland and Disney World news from Mickey Visit.
