Foodie Guide to a Touch of Disney at Disney California Adventure Foodie Guide to A Touch of Disney at Disney California Adventure Park Opening March 18 We’re thrilled to share our Foodie Guide to A Touch of Disney at Disney California Adventure park! Our Disney chefs and beverage managers have been busy creating menus that include new items and several favorite classic dishes from around the resort for this new, limited-capacity ticketed experience that begins March 18, Thursdays through Mondays, from noon – 8 p.m. This Foodie Guide lists all the bites – sweet and savory – and refreshing sips at the more than 25 locations – including six marketplaces themed for A Touch of Disney. In addition to all the great food and drink, Guests will have a chance to see Disney characters, shop for the latest Disney merchandise, and pose at fun photo locations. We encourage Guests to take advantage of mobile order on the Disneyland mobile app for added convenience and promote contactless payment. We have noted the mobile order locations at A Touch of Disney in this Foodie Guide, and, yes, Guets can now even mobile order a churro from Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land! Beginning March 11, table reservations for Lamplight Lounge and Carthay Circle Lounge – Alfresco Dining will be made available for A Touch of Disney. Table reservations do not provide admission to A Touch of Disney. A Touch of Disney ticket is required to dine at those locations on the same day as the table reservation. To help maximize Guests’ time – and minimize contact with others – during their visit to Disney California Adventure park, we are now offering mobile check-in and mobile wait-list at select locations, available on the Disneyland mobile app. Mobile check-in – If Guests have a confirmed reservation at Lamplight Lounge or Carthay Circle Lounge – Alfresco Dining, they’ll receive a push notification on the Disneyland mobile app when their check-in window arrives. They can scan their QR code near the restaurant’s entrance; there’s no need to visit the host stand. They will be seated once their entire party has arrived. Mobile walk-up – While dining reservations are highly recommended, Guests can also add themselves to the mobile walk-up list (subject to availability) for Lamplight Lounge and Carthay Circle Lounge – Alfresco Dining using the Disneyland mobile app. If Guests don’t find walk-up list availability right away, they can check estimated wait times and look for reservations that may be available later in the day. With the health and safety of everyone in mind, A Touch of Disney will operate with limited capacity and enhanced health and safety measures in place based on guidance from health authorities, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and appropriate government agencies. Now, check out all we have to offer at A Touch of Disney. Enjoy!

    05_559702_part5.qxd 7/23/04 11:40 AM Page 182 Part Five Disney’s California Adventure A Brave New Park The Walt Disney Company’s newest theme park, Disney’s California Adventure, held its grand opening on February 8, 2001. Already known as “DCA” among Disneyphiles, the park is a bouquet of contradictions conceived in Fantasyland, starved in utero by corporate Disney, and born into a hostile environment of Disneyland loyalists who believe they’ve been handed a second-rate theme park. The park is new but full of old technology. Its parts are stunningly beautiful, yet come together awk- wardly, failing to comprise a handsome whole. And perhaps most lamen- table of all, the California theme is impotent by virtue of being all-encompassing. The history of the park is another of those convoluted tales found only in Robert Ludlum novels and corporate Disney. Southern California Dis- ney fans began clamoring for a second theme park shortly after Epcot opened at Walt Disney World in 1982. Although there was some element of support within the Walt Disney Company, the Disney loyal had to content themselves with rumors and half-promises for two decades while they watched new Disney parks go up in Tokyo, Paris, and Florida. For years, Disney teasingly floated the “Westcot” concept, a California version of Epcot that was always just about to break ground. Whether a matter of procrastination or simply pursuing better opportunities elsewhere, the Walt DisneyCOPYRIGHTED Company sat on the sidelines while MATERIAL the sleepy community of Anaheim became a sprawling city and property values skyrocketed.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Earth and Mineral Sciences DECONSTRUCTING THE MYTH OF CALIFORNIA: GENDER AND RACE IN DISNEY’S CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE A Thesis in Geography by Marina R. Viola 2009 Marina R. Viola Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science December 2009 The thesis of Marina R. Viola was reviewed and approved* by the following: Lorraine Dowler Associate Professor of Geography and Women‘s Studies Thesis Advisor Melissa W. Wright Associate Professor of Geography and Women‘s Studies Karl Zimmerer Professor of Geography Head of the Department of Geography *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT Disney turns fantasy into reality. ―Imagineers‖ are Disney‘s team of dream makers responsible for creating the magic. Nearly one dozen international theme parks, a cruise ship line, shopping centers, hotels and ownership of the community Celebration, Florida attest to Imagineering‘s cultural influence and success. This vast and variant space along with widely recognized topographic neologisms such as ―Disneyscapes,‖ and ―Disneyfied,‖ illustrate the Company‘s ability to transform ordinary landscapes into fantasy-scapes. In 2001, Disney deviated from its traditional Imagineering practices and attempted to re-recreate reality. Disney‘s California Adventure park opened as a celebration of the Golden State and the Golden Dreams that brought countless individuals in search of opportunity. Using qualitative methods, this study textually analyses the stories conveyed throughout the park‘s artwork, architecture, landscape and iconography. This thesis reveals that the lives and ―dreams‖ of various California subcultures are represented in demeaning and stereotypical manners that reinforce the superiority and dominance of white males over California‘s landscape.

  • Before the Beginning
    pa r t i Before the Beginning Glass - From Mission to Microchip.indd 1 18/02/16 5:27 PM Glass - From Mission to Microchip.indd 2 18/02/16 5:27 PM 1 Where in California Is Its Labor History? In an auditorium in Disney’s California Adventure Park, a film titled Golden Dreams screens a dozen times each day. Hollywood star Whoopi Goldberg plays Queen Calafia, a character lifted from a five-hun- dred-year-old Spanish romance. In that story, Calafia ruled over Amazons on an island west of the Indies named “California.” This is the origin of the Golden State’s name. Calafia is our host through reenactments of well-known moments in California history. She shows us the first contact between Spanishconquista - dores and the native population; the Gold Rush; building the railroads; the heyday of Hollywood; spread of suburbs and the “good life” of the 1950s; and the psychedelic era of the late 1960s, with hippies dancing in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. In addition to these standard snapshots in the state’s family album, we also view images added in recent years, including the mistreatment of Asian immigrants by the white majority in the nineteenth and early twentieth cen- turies and the migration of African Americans from the South to work in shipyards during World War II. The film makes an earnest effort to showcase the many ethnic strands of California history. And yet something important is missing from Golden Dreams. Chinese laborers hang over cliffs in the Sierra Nevada in baskets to blast a passage through the rock for the Central Pacific Railroad.

  • UCLA's Early Years, 1919-1938 a Dissertation
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Something New Under the Los Angeles Sun: UCLA’s Early Years, 1919-1938 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education by William Charles Purdy 2016 © Copyright by William Charles Purdy 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Something New Under the Los Angeles Sun: UCLA’s Early Years, 1919-1938 by William Charles Purdy Doctor of Philosophy in Education University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Patricia M. McDonough, Chair Here we argue that UCLA’s first two decades show it to be a unique historical case: it was a state normal school that quickly became a research university, not just a teaching college, a branch campus quickly achieving parity with its parent institution, the first elite research university comprised of a large majority of women students, the first major public research university founded in the twentieth century, the first public/private partnership, even if silent, to plan a public university alongside a private commercial village or college town, and one of the first colleges to be used as a prime filming site for Hollywood film studios using it to portray a typical American college. Unlike most, if not all, histories of specific universities, much of the study is devoted to the broader historical ii education context in which UCLA is embedded, and therefore, the popular new public high schools in Los Angeles, UCLA’s predecessors and later competitors in the private sector such as Caltech, USC, Pomona, Occidental, and new junior (later, community) colleges are discussed and examined here.
