The nighttime spectacular "Wondrous Journeys" dazzles Disneyland Park once again with projection effects and music nodding to Walt Disney Animation Studios films; the show is enhanced with fireworks on select nights.

The water show features a rendition of "Rainbow Connection" performed by R&B group Boyz II Men, plus an original song "Makes Me Wanna Move," performed by FITZ – frontman and namesake of multi-platinum hitmakers Fitz and the Tantrums. Colorful floats and more than two dozen characters from Pixar Animation Studios films fill the streets of Disney California Adventure Park with the return of the high-energy daytime parade "Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!"

Alaska Airlines unveils new aircraft livery inspired by Disney theme-park attraction
There's magic in the air. Alaska Airlines has unveiled an 'enchanting' aircraft livery inspired by The Princess and the Frog and new log flume rides at Disneyland Park in California and Walt Disney World. The design, sported by a Boeing 737-800 with the tail number N596AS, is a 'celebration' of the classic Walt Disney animation starring Princess Tiana and the 'immersive' Tiana's Bayou Adventure attraction, which opened at Magic Kingdom and Disneyland in June and November 2024 respectively. The intricate graphics, which took artists more than 2,000 hours to paint, feature Disney characters Princess Tiana, Louis the Alligator splashing among water lilies on the bayou, Mama Odie and Prince Naveen on the winglets and a trail of fireflies stretching from the aircraft's nose to tail. Alaska Airlines unveiled the new design at Portland International Airport ahead of its maiden flight to Santa Ana, California, last week. The colorful aircraft, nicknamed Tiana's Bayou Adventure Flyer, is the carrier's ninth Disney-themed plane and its first to feature a Disney princess. Tiana's Bayou Adventure Flyer arrives in time for Disneyland Resort's 70th celebration, which begins on 16 May and runs until summer 2026. Passengers will be able to fly on the aircraft throughout Alaska's route network for 'the next several years', while junior fliers can look forward to a Tiana's Bayou Adventure snack pack onboard from this summer. 'For more than 25 years, Alaska Airlines and Disneyland Resort have collaborated to bring magic and happiness to the skies,' said Sybil Crum, vice president of marketing and commercial strategy at Disneyland Resort. 'As Disneyland Resort prepares to celebrate its 70th anniversary, this latest addition honours our legacy and looks ahead to a bright future with Princess Tiana leading the way.' Walt Disney World have increased for 2026. Prices for one-day tickets to the popular Florida attraction will rise next year by approximately $10 (£7.50). Visitor numbers to Disney attractions have yet to return to pre-pandemic levels, though Walt Disney World and Disneyland remain the two most-visited theme parks in the world, with around 34 million annual visitors between them.

Disney Ride Passengers ‘Dumbfounded' After Man Jumps From Log to Wander With His Son Causing ‘40 Minute' Delay
A Disney World guest left fellow passengers on a ride frustrated after ignoring instructions to remain seated during its brief pause. On Thursday, March 6, the unidentified man was on the Tiana's Bayou Adventure water ride in Magic Kingdom, when he decided to 'jump out of his log with his kid." The ride had been paused for around 10 minutes before his antics caused it to be delayed further, according to an anonymous member of the Walt Disney World Tips and Tricks Public Facebook Group. 'Shout out to this guy, who held up everyone on Tiana's for 30-40 minutes because he and his son jumped out of their log,' the Facebook user wrote in a now-deleted post, per Disney news outlet Wow News Today. According to the post, the guest exited the carriage despite 'very clear announcements to remain seated.' Related: We Tried It: Riding Disneyland's New Princess Tiana Ride, and Spending a Day On Her Bayou (Exclusive) 'The cast members came over the speaker three times — yes, three times — asking him to get back into the log, and he refused,' the post continued. The Facebook member said the man 'began shining his phone flashlight around, looking for an exit' and 'waving the bright light in [the] faces' of the seated guests, leaving them 'dumbfounded' at the situation. According to the post, the man was told to wait at the ride and he and his child were eventually escorted out by employees, per Wow News Today. 'We went from a 10-minute ride pause to a 30-40 minute ride pause because of this guy,' they wrote. '...There was absolutely no need for this to happen. This guy is teaching his son that the rules don't matter and you can do whatever you want, even if it inconveniences everyone else.'

The ride, which replaced Splash Mountain, was created in homage of Princess Tiana from the groundbreaking 2009 Disney animated film Princess and the Frog and it is set in New Orleans Square like the picture. This latest incident at Disneyland comes after several recent incidents at the resort where the guests have refused to follow the rules. In January, a guest was caught stealing an out-of-order sign and putting it on her scooter. A woman was also tasered at Disney's Port Orleans Resort for her drunken behavior, per Wow News Today.
