The twang of Frontierland, the upbeat retro-futurism feel of Tomorrowland, the chill woodwinds and rhythms of nature from Animal Kingdom - all of it is great for changing your stuck-at-home vibe.ĭisney has some official playlists of park music that you can find streaming on Apple Music and Spotify, but the library can feel limited to a nerd like me who wants more instrumental, atmospheric tunes and fewer sing-a-longs of pirate shanties. So much of the good feels of Disney come from the background music played around the parks. But there are ways to transport yourself back to those memories. Moments like this you just can't recreate at home. Two years ago, my daughter met Rapunzel on her first trip to Disney World. Even though I can't take my son on his first trip this year to meet Mickey yet, or show my daughter Galaxy's Edge and face off against Kylo Ren, these are some of my tips for how I get my parks fix at home. I've covered new theme park attractions over the past few years, and I also made countless trips with family growing up in Florida near Disney World. What makes Disney parks so special to me is how they incorporate all the senses to fully immerse you into a new world - be it a visitor to Batuu in the outer rim of a galaxy far, far away, an eco-tourist to the bioluminescent planet of floating mountains and flying banshees or becoming new friends with toys, shrunk down to play inside Andy's backyard. For now, the rest of Walt Disney World Resort in Florida will remain closed. But that's just a place to grab a bite to eat and buy some Mickey merch without a park ticket. You're not invited.This week, Disney will start to test the waters of reopening with Disney Springs, a dining and shopping complex in the Orlando, Florida, area. Oh, and at the California Adventure Park, too. If, on the other hand, you live the rest of your years as a regular schmuck like the rest of us, just know that people are secretly partying in secret rooms at Disneyland.
Once inside the club, as if that will ever happen, you'll find yourself in a restaurant in line with turn-of-the-century French decor, except that the rooms are decorated with actual props and concept art from Disney movies. But just know that if, by some miracle of the Lord of Disney, you're moved to the top of the list, you should be ready to shell out $25,000 initially, then $10,000 a year for the privilege of just getting in the door. Sure, you can submit a written application to get on the waiting list, the same list that often goes years without bumping anyone up.
So how exclusive is this club? Membership is rumored at 500 people. "Pay millions of dollars to sponsor a club that only like a hundred people will ever see!" Or you could count up the number of original sponsors that made Disneyland happen and do the conspiratorial math. As for the name of the secret club, you could say it was simply the street address on the door, 33 Royal Street. So in addition to building a second apartment for himself and his family above the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, he also commissioned a secret VIP lounge for entertaining dignitaries and celebrities. When Walt Disney designed his park, he realized that his teeny-tiny apartment on Main Street wouldn't be large or roach-free enough to host big-time visitors. He's a member of a secret club you'll never ever be invited to join. Then the door opens and the person disappears. A voice from the interior of the door wants to know the name of the sneaky person and the number in his party. Or a place where children are taken from unattended strollers down to the Utilidors, ne'er to be seen again.īut then you see someone walk up to the door, all stealthy-like, remove a secret panel and press a buzzer.
