Free Disney Tickets in 2010

In 2010 Disneyland is giving away 1 million FREE tickets to Disneyland or Disney World in exchange for volunteering. You can read the rules and sign up by following this link Give A Day Get A Day.

Ages are 6 and up and there are a few Black out days during the year. The service projects will be managed through HandsOn Network and the trick will be finding projects that younger kids will be able to participate in, most projects listed on the HandsOn Network website are geared for ages 18 and up.

If you have an annual pass you can still participate. Let us know if you find any projects that are good for kids ages 6-12.

California Adventure Construction Update

December 2009.
As you can see from this night time photo the lake that has been under construction for months has some water in it. However it is not know if the water was from the recent rain storm or the construction is completed and the lake was partially filled. As I was standing at this spot I over heard two Disney Security guards talking about how there is an extra water reservoir over by the hotel that will be used during the new water show. The extra water reservoir will keep the level of the lake from dropping when all off the fountains are in use at the same time. Many areas on this same side of California Adventure are blocked off for construction and will be for some time until the new rides are completed.

New Rides Coming to California Adventure Starting in 2010

Here are some rendering of the new rides, attractions and entrance plaza under construction at California Adventure. The rides and attractions are scheduled to open between 2010 and 2012. The new attractions include Pixar Cars Land, The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Adventure, Micky's Silly Symphony Swings and new upscale restaurants (no more hamburgers). The main attraction is the World of Color water and animation show. The World of Color viewing area model and the renderings of how the water show will look are on display in the Blue Sky Cellar in California Adventure. You can also watch a great video of how things are developing.

10 Hands-on Activities Kids Will Love

Here is a list of some of the favorite activities kids love to do at Disneyland.

1. Disney's Animation Academy: Located in California Adventure you and your kids can learn to draw Disney Characters in a studios setting. This is something they can do over and over with a different character each time. Younger kids (6 and under) may have a harder time keeping up.

2. Jedi Training Academy: Kids are trained as Jedi. Very popular you may need to arrive early to be apart of the show.

3. Canoes: during the summer the canoes around Tom Sawyer Island are open. This takes about 15 minutes to paddle around the lake. Kids 5 and under will wear a life jacket.

4. Innoventions: There are lots of hands on activities (computer games) that kids can play for free.

5. Celebrate A Street Party: During this parade kids are invited to be apart of the action. Kids love dancing and when the confetti canons go off they love catching and picking up the little Mickey's. This runs twice a day so check show times.

6. Toon Town: Lots of hands-on things down on the east end by the Rodger Rabbit ride. Also there is the boat next to Gagets go coaster that kids can explore

7. Playhouse Disney: Everyone sits on the floor but during the show kids can get up and dance around. Good fun for kids 6 and under.

8. Turtle Talk with Crush: Kids sit on the floor and Crush asks them questions. Very entertaining for kids and parents.

9. Redwood Creek Challenge Trail: Lots to do and explore in this playground across from Bear Rapids in California Adventure

10. S.S. Rustworthy: There are enough Water cannons, Bell-ringing, Lever-pulling and Wheel-turning activities to ensure that your child has a fun time.
