- What's new at Disneyland for 2019, I'm Chris,
this is Yelloww Productions.
I do travel guides that are fun,
informative and entertaining.
And in this video, I'm gonna be telling you
the major new attractions that are opening
in Disneyland this year and the ones that have opened
in the past year.
So if you haven't been to Disneyland for about a year
and you're planning a trip, well this video is for you,
'cause you'll know all the new things
to check out when you come.
All right, here we go.
And oh by the way, this video is part
of my series on Disneyland.
If you want to know more about Disneyland tips,
when's the best time to go,
what's the best thing to eat,
well then you'll enjoy checking out some of those videos.
You'll find my playlist for the whole series
in the description below, at the end of this video,
or in the card you can click up on here.
The first thing that's new
is ticket prices are up.
The low ticket prices have gone up
from $97 to $104 on low days.
On high days, they're up to about $135.
Prices keep going up, but you know what,
I keep paying them and apparently so do all of you.
Parking prices are up,
parking has gone from $20 to $25.
And also the price for MaxPass,
which is the FASTPASS that you can get from your phone,
that's gone up from $10 a day to $15 a day.
First we'll start with Disneyland
and then we'll move onto California Adventure.
The first thing you'll see when you come into the park
Main Street has some upgrades.
In 2018, they replaced these horse-drawn carriage tracks.
The entire tracks were replaced in their entirety
and they've also added this new brick work
to go along with it.
Walking down Main Street, you'll see some new banners
with Mickey and Minnie on them.
It's for the Mickey and Minnie Get Your Ears On celebration.
This year Mickey and Minnie turned 90 years old.
This next one's pretty significant,
the Sleeping Beauty castle, the centerpiece of Disneyland
is getting an upgrade for 2019.
The last update was in 2005, but that means for at least
the first part of 2019 the castle is closed.
So no pictures in front of the castle,
well at least no good pictures
until the castle reopens with it's new facelift.
Just next to the Castle in Tomorrowland
the Astro Orbiter, the spaceship ride
that has the spaceships going around
is getting a facelift too.
This will reopen in Spring 2019, with some fresh paint
and a fresh new look.
In the world of eating inside Disneyland in 2018,
Disneyland rolled out mobile ordering.
If you don't like lines,
you'll wanna pay attention to this.
Now you can use the Disneyland app,
if you have your credit card linked to it,
to order ahead of time at restaurants.
You can look at all the menus,
you can pick what you want to order, you pick a time.
When you get here you check in and you say, "I'm here."
And then your food just comes right out of that window.
You don't have to stand in any of those lines.
That's pretty good, take advantage of mobile ordering.
Speaking of food, right next to the Enchanted Tiki Room
they've just opened up the Tropical Hideaway.
It's a pretty neat kinda tiki room themed eating area.
What have they got there?
They've got premium Dole whips,
like fancier Dole whip floats and sundaes.
And they've got a place with Asian steamed buns
and sweet lumpia.
While you're dining here, you can overlook
the boats from the Jungle Cruise.
They've got these neat torches that
are up in the air with flames.
And they've also got a bird from the Enchanted Tiki Room,
Rosita, she cracks some jokes every once in awhile.
(bird tweeting)
- Did you hear that the tiger had got
into the shipment of lemons?
He turned into a real sourpuss.
- Disneyland continues to roll out a FASTPASS.
Finally, It's A Small World has FASTPASS.
But if you want to pick up a FASTPASS
for It's A Small World, you have to go over
to the Matterhorn and there's two machines right there
that say It's A Small World.
Make sure you get the FASTPASS from the correct machine,
otherwise you might end up with a Matterhorn FASTPASS.
January 18, 2019, which is actually today,
the day I'm filming this Disneyland is premiering
a new fireworks and projection show
called Mickey's Mixed Magic
that will run on weekends and holidays
and also on January 25th,
which is the day this video will be premiering on YouTube
Disneyland is releasing a new parade.
Well actually it's a return of the parade
Mickey's Soundsational Parade,
but it'll have a brand new opening.
Definitely the mostly hotly anticipated
new opening in 2019 is right here.
You're probably saying Chris why are you standing
in front of this really boring rock thing.
Well, this will be the entrance
to the new Star Wars Land, Star Wars Galaxy's Edge
slated to open in summer of 2019.
And so speaking of those ticket prices, you might say,
well why did Disneyland raise those ticket prices?
One might say, to make more money.
But Disneyland says it's to manage the crowds
that they expect for the opening of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge.
They expect over 200,000 people to come to the opening day
of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge.
Ah hey, there's a train, all aboard, whoop, whoop.
Now that we've seen everything new in Disneyland,
let's check out what's new
in Disney's California Adventure Park.
First new thing you'll notice in 2019
coming in to Disney California Adventure
is where the Bug's Land used to be, it's gone.
It's now a big wall that says Stark Industries.
That's where they're building the new Marvel themed land.
And right about here is where
you used to get FASTPASSES
for Radiator Springs Racers in Cars Land.
No fear, those FASTPASSES have just moved inside
right next to Radiator Springs Racers.
If you're coming to Disney California Adventure,
that's probably the first FASTPASS you should get.
It's one of the most popular rides.
And have no fear, just walk down that way
go down Route 66, turn right at the stoplight,
you'll find the FASTPASSES.
The newest thing to California Adventure
in 2018 is Pixar Pier.
This land over here that's anchored
by the Ferris Wheel and the rollercoaster,
nothing's really substantially changed,
but they did change the theming of this whole land.
The Ferris wheel is now called the Pixar Pal-A-Round.
It still has the swinging and non-swinging cars.
The roller coaster, which we see right here,
it's now called The Incredicoaster.
It's themed on The Incredibles.
This is still one of my favorite rides
in California Adventure, it goes really fast.
If you like rollercoasters, you will like that one.
Toy Story Midway Mania in the middle.
That one now offers FASTPASSES
and there's a whole bunch of new food options
in this area.
I love Angry Dog, well not the hot dogs
but I love the theming of it.
The cookies by the rollercoaster
are one of the fan favorites of Pixar Pier.
And if you're a fan of those Lobster Nachos
at Cove Bar, have no fear, they've moved inside
to the Lamplight Lounge,
which took over for Ariel's Grotto.
Pixar Pier has one more neighborhood opening soon.
It's the Inside Out Neighborhood
and it will have a new ride,
the Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind.
The final new ride I'll mention
in Disney California Adventure
is Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout
and can you see Groot back there, Groot is back there.
They always have neat characters out there.
This ride opened in 2017, but for 2019,
they are refurbishing the outside.
You can see there's some big construction fences
out here and then this part used to connect
over here to Bug's Land in the back.
But you can see that's where the new Marvel Land
is coming up with the Stark Industries wall back there.
Downtown Disney, it's the area that connects
the theme parks to the hotels.
There's a lot of new stuff in Downtown Disney.
Follow me let's go check it out,
really follow me here we go.
First thing in Downtown Disney I wanna talk about
is actually something that's not happening.
Disneyland was planning to build a new luxury resort hotel.
And so there's a bunch of things here that are closed.
ESPN Zone is closed, the Rainforest Cafe is closed,
the AMC Movie theater is closed.
But this hotel that Disneyland was planning to build,
they're not building it anymore
or it's on indefinite hiatus because Disney
is in an argument with the City of Anaheim
about tax breaks.
Anyway, because of that, the Earl of Sandwich
that was closed it is now reopened.
And get my favorite Earl's Club Sandwich.
It's really good.
This is my favorite food, in all the Disney Parks.
Definitely check it out, if you're here.
Especially since they're open again.
I guess to make these closed things
look a little less depressing in the evenings
they bring out food trucks in front of them.
They park in front of the movie theater
and the Rainforest Cafe.
I've seen the Habit Burger and a dumpling truck.
Okay, let's stop talking about stuff that's closed
and depressing, let's talk about
what's new and exciting in Downtown Disney.
The Disneyland monorail that brings you
from Downtown Disney into the park
has been re-themed.
It used to be kinda Tomorrow Land themed.
Now it's yellow and black with Mickeys on it.
Central Downtown Disney, there's a lot of new things.
We'll start right here Splitsville
it's a new restaurant and bowling alley.
This opened up in 2018.
The bowling lanes are pretty neat.
And it's not just a single floor bowling alley,
there's bowling alley's on two floors.
This restaurant is huge.
If you find Downtown Disney is really busy,
this is gonna be a good bet for seating,
'cause there are lots of tables here.
Just to the right of Spitsville in this building
the top floor is Ballast Point.
It's a beer brewery from San Diego and also a restaurant.
And on the bottom floor Black Tap is coming soon
with craft burgers and shakes.
I have to say, those burgers and shakes
they certainly look very Instagram-able.
Whether they're delicious we'll have
to find out when it opens.
Just across from those restaurants
is this new place called The VOID.
The sign says step beyond reality.
It's a virtual reality game experience.
One of their missions you can play
is a Star Wars VR experience.
If you like foofy ice cream,
you're really gonna like Salt & Straw.
Their slogan is handmade, deliciously interesting ice cream.
They've got flavors like olive and goat cheese
but also classic flavors like cookies and cream.
You can get them in a cone, in a cup,
or you can get the pins to go.
That's what we usually do.
The Naples restaurant and bar has pretty much
had a complete remodel and right next to it
they've opened up a Napolini Pizzeria.
It's like one of these fast fire pizza places.
You can get custom-made pizzas for as cheap
as about seven bucks.
And finally in Downtown Disney,
the World of Disney, Disneyland's biggest gift shop
received a pretty significant overhaul.
The inside of it has all been pretty much remodeled
and themed even more.
I think one of the coolest things is this light display
on the floor, World of Disney, Disneyland.
And it's got these different snacks that go in front of it.
All those tasty foods you might wanna eat in the park.
In this section, you can pick up all the shirts
that resemble the food.
Look at this, do you want a cupcake shirt?
Maybe you want a donut shirt.
But what you probably really want, you really want
that slice of pizza stuffed animal?
Not an animal but stuffed slice of pizza.
So I mentioned Disneyland's expecting tons more people
for that opening of Star Wars Land.
So they're building new parking.
I'm not in front of the parking structure
because parking structures are boring,
I'm in front of the trams.
But they're expanding the Mickey and Friends
parking structure, which is where these parking trams go to.
They're adding 6,500 more parking spaces,
a new tram-loading area, and a new security screening area
there as well.
And what else is new in 2019?
Well, I've got more new Yelloww Productions videos
about Disneyland, a couple others I shot
on this trip are full walk-throughs of both parks.
So if you want a deeper dive to see everything
in the park.
Well most of everything from the main walkways
you'll find links in the description below.
I've got one on Disneyland,
I've got one in California Adventure.
2D 360-degree videos, your choice.
Check them out, or you can click right here
to watch one of them.
Well I won't say goodbye because I'll see you
in one of these videos.
