The castle has been blocked off from visitors since January, as groups of maintenance crews have been giving it a spruce. The castle now features brighter, more vibrant pink walls and blue rooftops, plus some sparkling gold shingles that look like "pixie dust." The crews also added some artistic tricks to make the castle seem bigger. A painting technique was used that involves painting the lower parts of the 70-foot tall castle walls in darker and warmer hues of pink paint, gradually getting lighter and cooler as it goes up to the top in order to blend in with the atmosphere. This tricks the eye into thinking the object in front of them is larger or taller than it is.1983:Pinocchio's Daring Journey officially opens to the general public as part of Disneyland's New Fantasyland.1999:The final 3 episodes of the long-running ABC-TV sitcom Home Improvement airs back-to-back.2007:Over at Disneyland, Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island officially opens.2013:Disney's 24-hour "All-Nighter" held at Disneyland, California Adventure and Disney World's Magic Kingdom2011: Disneyland guests get an unannounced preview of "Mickey’s Soundsational Parade," a new nine-float affair featuring Mickey Mouse and such favorite characters as Peter Pan, Aladdin and Ariel.Topic 2 - News ClosuresThe U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds soared over the Disneyland Resort on Friday.

Welcome to the Magic on Main Street Podcast! We're Sean and Tabitha! Over the better part of a decade our little family has lived the Disneyland lifestyle. As an ex-cast member, Legacy Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members we’ve been surrounding our lives with Disney. From disneybounding to pin-trading, exclusive items and all the food, we’ve fully immersed ourselves in the culture that Walt built. We’ve done it all and have made some great friends and memories over the years! We’ll be sitting down with friends and other Disney junkies to share our stories and advice. We’ll be your one stop shop for Disneyland, California Adventure and Walt Disney World history and trivia and all the insider information you could ever ask for on merchandise, food, shows, attractions and everything else you should know about the parks. Our goal is to bring a little magic to your ears each week by sharing our Disney journey with you. As a patron, you will receive extra episodes and more each week! This is Magic on Main Street!
