A Disneyland Frontier reader asked for a schedule of the fireworks in Hong Kong Disneyland. The schedule changes depending on the time of year, but currently you can see the fireworks every night at 9:00 PM.

All attractions at Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure shut down while inspectors performed safety checks; almost all had reopened by Tuesday evening. At Knott’s Berry Farm, some park-goers found themselves stuck when power was cut during the quake and rides shut down; the rides all re-opened later in the day. No injuries were reported at either park.

CNN’s Ed Lavandera was at Disneyland in Anaheim, southeast of Los Angeles, with his family and felt the temblor. He said the shaking lasted about 5 seconds.

CNN affiliate KABC is reporting that Disneyland’s rides have been evacuated.

Lavandera was standing in line for a ride when he saw the ride’s top “shaking back and forth.” ”

You could hear the metal kind of clanging around, and the ride was just ending, so for a moment … I thought maybe something was wrong with the ride. Then I realized the ride had already stopped moving and the ground was still moving,” he said.

This blogger went to Disneyland expecting the worst:

I expected it to look like a Mad Max wasteland, as depicted in the 2Pac and Dr. Dre music video of “California Love“. I was disappointed in this respect.

Instead, he found real magic.

Who pissed in your Corn Flakes?: Confirmed: Disneyland is in fact, the happiest place on Earth.

Talk about an attitude changer. This is a great video to show the power of Disney magic.

YouTube - Surprise! We are going to Disneyland!.

This is a great story about how the Disney magic ends up making them more money in the long run. Maybe other businesses could learn from this.

By Randy’s calculations, over the years his family has enthusiastically spent over $100,000 with Disney brand over the years and they never forgot the symbolic importance of that one specific interaction. Logic+Emotion: Disney’s $100,000 Salt + Pepper Shaker

This is my favorite video on Disneyland. It’s long, but I enjoy every minute of it.

In July 1956, the five-member Barstow family of Wethersfield, Connecticut, won a free trip to newly-opened Disneyland in Anaheim, California, in a nationwide contest. This 30-minute amateur documentary film tells the fabulous story of their fun-filled, dream-come-true, family travel adventure, filmed on the scene at Walt Disney’s “Magic Kingdom” by Robbins Barstow.

Bummer: The video has been taken down.

The first time you see the Turtle Talk with Crush show, you will be in awe. Watching this video shows a little bit of how that magic is made.

If you’re like me, you love Disneyland audio. The ambient audio is really what makes the experience magical and separates Disney from other theme parks. If you’re in the mood to hear some audio, check out The Sounds of Disneyland. They have audio wav files from the park separated by land. Take a look.

If you’re curious about what’s being said about Disney in the Twitter-sphere, you need not look any further than The Disney Frontier’s new “Posts on Twitter Containing Disney” page! This awfully named page grabs the last 25 tweets off Twitter that contain one of these keywords: Disney, WDW, or Disneyland. Bookmark it and enjoy.

TJ of Disneylandtour.com has done an awesome job with this video - I think it must have taken many hours to put together. This is his first dedicated video of Disney’s California Adventure and shows in detail where and how the $1.1 Billion will be spent.

Before watching this video, I hadn’t fully comprehended the extend of the changes. They will affect most areas of the park in some way or another and will definitely draw more crowds.

I’m most excited for the new Toy Story Mania ride. It should be technically awesome - and spending $1 million on the Mr. Potato Head animatronic is huge.
