La tierra reimaginada Mickey’s Toontown reabre sus puertas el 19 de marzo de 2023 en Disneyland Resort
  • Las familias pueden jugar y relajarse con nuevas experiencias y en áreas ajardinadas, incluyendo CenTOONial Park, Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard y mucho más
  • Dos establecimientos nuevos de comida y bebida ofrecen versiones juguetonas de platos tradicionales y refrigerios para llevar
  • Este vecindario animado es el hogar de una nueva atracción para toda la familia, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway

     Disneyland Resort continúa la celebración de aniversario Disney100 con la reapertura de la tierra reimaginada Mickey’s Toontown el 19 de marzo de 2023 en Disneyland Park. En este vecindario animado, las familias pueden explorar, jugar, descubrir y relajarse juntas mientras disfrutan de nuevas experiencias interactivas, del regreso de otras populares y de la nueva atracción Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway.

    En Mickey’s Toontown, los visitantes pueden jugar, animar a otros a jugar o jugar juntos. El ambiente y las experiencias en esta tierra fueron diseñadas para permitir a todos los visitantes el ver, oír, sentir e interactuar entre ellos de muchas maneras.

    La reapertura de Mickey’s Toontown ofrece a las familias jóvenes aún más experiencias para disfrutar juntos una área distinta de Disneyland Park, justo al lado a Fantasyland, hogar de “it’s a small world” y el Fantasyland Theatre, donde se presenta “Tale of the Lion King”, un emocionante espectáculo en vivo en días selectas.

    Nuevas áreas interactivas y espacios ajardinados

    La reimaginada Mickey’s Toontown fue diseñada por Walt Disney Imagineering para tratar de eliminar cuantas más barreras posibles mejor, con más espacios verdes al aire libre creados para reunirse y jugar. Los visitantes podrán encontrar elementos para las necesidades diversas de familias jóvenes, desde baños complementarios y una área más tranquila para la descompresión hasta un terreno sin bordillos que ayuda a que la navegación sea más fácil para los visitantes con diferentes habilidades.

CenTOONial Park es la primera zona que los visitantes ven cuando entran en la tierra temática. CenTOONial Park presenta dos nuevas experiencias de juego interactivas: una preciosa fuente con mesas de agua diseñadas para jugar y que animan a los visitantes a vivir una experiencia sensorial. También hay un árbol de ensueño con raíces esculpidas que permiten a los más pequeños deslizarse por ellas con el fin de explorarlo todo.

Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard incorpora un jardín fantástico donde los niños y niñas descubrirán nuevas formas de hacer ruidos de lo más extraños, así como disfrutar de un nuevo club elevado. Dentro de Goofy’s House, los visitantes pueden ayudar a manejar un nuevo dispositivo interactivo para hacer dulces que solo podía haber sido imaginado por Goofy.

Donald’s Duck Pond ayudará a que los más pequeños se lo pasen en grande. El Bote de Donald están asentado en un estanque rodeado de nenúfares gigantes, barras de equilibrio y juguetes mecedores. Los exploradores también pueden ver burbujas juguetonas con Huey, Dewey, Louie y Webby a través de las portillas de la barca.

Mickey’s Toontown también es el hogar de la nueva atracción para toda la familia Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, que debutó el 27 de enero de 2023. Esta atracción no presenta ninguna restricción por edad o altura, así que todas las familias pueden viajar juntas a través del mundo impredecible y alocado de Mickey Mouse y Minnie Mouse. Para más información acerca de cómo poder vivir esta atracción visite DisneylandEspanol.com.

Cuando Mickey’s Toontown reabra, los visitantes también podrán disfrutar del regreso de algunas de sus atracciones favoritas como Mickey’s House, Minnie’s House y Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin. Además, la divertidísima atracción se ha transformado en la montaña rusa GADGET de Chip ‘n’ Dale, donde los visitantes pueden volverse locos en una montaña rusa creada por el artesano residente de Mickey’s Toontown, Gadget Hackwrench.

Personajes clásicos, gastronomía animada y mercancía fantástica

Mientras visitan este mundo de fantasía, los visitantes pueden ver y tomarse fotos con Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse y sus amigos el Pato Donald, Daisy Duck, Pluto, Clarabelle y Goofy. Por primera vez en un parque Disney, Pete también hará acto de presencia llevando a cabo más de una travesura por el vecindario. Mickey Mouse lucirá un nuevo traje especial para cuando salude a los visitantes a las puertas de su hogar.

En Mickey’s Toontown dos nuevos establecimientos ofrecerán menús tradicionales y refrigerios deliciosos que de buen seguro satisfarán a los más pequeños y a aquellos que se sienten como tales. Café Daisy, que ofrece alimentos y bebidas a través de la opción de pedido móvil utilizando la app de Disneyland*, sirve clásicos de siempre con un giro juguetón, incluyendo una opción vegetariana. El Mercado Good Boy! Grocers ofrece bebidas, refrigerios y opciones innovadoras para llevar. Para una comida memorable, hasta que se agoten las existencias, las familias pueden elegir el Souvenir Slushee Sipper o el Perfect Picnic Basket, que incluye tres refrigerios a elegir. Los visitantes también pueden añadir la manta Perfect Picnic Blanket a juego con sus canastas. El carrito de palomitas cerca de Chip ‘n’ Dale’s GADGETcoaster ofrecerá el “yummy” souvenir popcorn bucket. (cajita de palomitas) hasta que se agoten las existencias.

EngineEar Souvenirs, al lado de Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, presenta una selección de juguetes, ropa y complementos inspirados en Mickey Mouse y sus amigos, incluyendo el nuevo tren sin vías por control remoto Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway Remote Control Trackless Train. **EngineEar Souvenirs ofrece la opción de compra móvil que permite a los visitantes escanear y pagar por productos selectos desde sus teléfonos usando la app Disneyland.

La celebración de aniversario Disney100 en Disneyland Resort

Mickey’s Toontown forma parte de las nuevas experiencias que debutan como parte de la celebración Disney100 en Disneyland Resort y que rinden tributo al 100 aniversario de Disney con proposiciones nuevas y por tiempo limitado a lo largo del año. La celebración también incluye entretenimiento emocionante, como dos nuevos espectáculos nocturnos, “World of Color – ONE” en Disney California Adventure Park y “Wondrous Journeys” en Disneyland Park, así como el regreso del desfile “Magic Happens” en Disneyland Park.

Por tiempo limitado, los residentes del sur de California pueden visitar Disneyland Resort por un mínimo de $73 por persona y día con la adquisición de un boleto para tres días, un parque por día, hasta el 25 de mayo de 2023, sujeto a la disponibilidad de las reservas al parque***.

Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs Awards $84,000 to Projects Promoting Tourism and Resilience

Image
Today, the City of Houston Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs (MOCA) announced it is awarding $84,000 in grants to 8 individuals and nonprofit organizations whose work furthers cultural tourism and resilience in the city.

The funds were awarded through City’s Initiative, a competitive grant program that is administered by the Houston Arts Alliance (HAA) and funded by a portion of the city’s Hotel Occupancy Tax.

The program opens four times a year and offers grants in three categories: neighborhood cultural destinations, conference tourism, and resilience awareness. In addition to these funding categories, MOCA awards a small number of special community initiatives each year.

“These eight projects illustrate the importance of neighborhood identity in our city,” says Mayor Sylvester Turner. “These projects celebrate the neighborhoods they happen in, add to their identities, and together highlight our goal of expanding cultural offerings throughout the City.”

City’s Initiative- Adam Castaneda
Adam Castaneda:  “Reviving Churches” is a multidisciplinary, community-based activation that addresses the broken windows theory in a holistic, creative manner. Local choreographer Adam Castaneda will activate an abandoned Church’s Chicken location in the Near Northside neighborhood at 2700 Fulton Street in partnership with the Greater Northside Management District. Over the course of three weeks, this abandoned complex will be transformed into a vibrant public art installation that will culminate in a community gathering that consists of student essay readings, dance performances, live music, and temporary art. This grant was awarded under the Neighborhood Cultural Destinations category.

Andrea Venson: “Elevated Intersections” is a painting exhibition featuring Andrea Venson and Jatziri Barron that captures a series of monthly events in Fifth Ward Houston. There will be a Mindful Painting session led by Andrea, a Salsa night led by Texas Salsa Congress, a Hip-Hop dance night led by Sun’Kissd Dance Concepts, and two outdoor yoga sessions led by Nicole Peralta and Jotina Buck. The final art exhibition will open at the DeLuxe Theater on September 23, 2023 and will feature dance performances by Nia’s Daughters Movement Collective and Itzcoatl Tezkatlipoka. This grant was awarded under the Neighborhood Cultural Destinations category.

Ars Lyrica Houston: Ars Lyrica Houston presents “Maria’s Magical Music Adventure,” an interactive musical story time, at three key community venues in spring 2023. Maria’s Magical Music Adventure follows a young girl named Maria and Matthew the Musical Magician as they travel through time to meet Antonio Vivaldi, who has just written The Four Seasons. Musical accompaniment features The Four Seasons, along with original music arranged for string quartet and narration in English and Spanish. Maria’s Magical Music Adventure, presented at Rothko Chapel for Menil Neighborhood Day, Heights Kids’ Day of Music, and Discovery Green, is a magical music adventure for the whole family. This grant was awarded under the Neighborhood Cultural Destinations category.

Jake Eshelman: As a hybrid art exhibit and guided nature walk with the Houston Arboretum in the spring of 2023, “(Bio)Diversity Bonds” empowers Houstonians to meet, celebrate, and ultimately support the many threatened local, native bee species that built and continually maintain the unique coastal prairie ecosystems that cradle our city, its people, and our astounding (bio)diversity. Just as Houston is the most ethnically diverse city in the country, we’re also one of the most biodiverse cities in the world—providing an opportunity to exemplify what’s possible when we empower everyday people to enrich our community by supporting our vital pollinator partners. This grant was awarded under the Neighborhood Cultural Destinations category.

Michele Brangwen Dance Ensemble: The Michele Brangwen Dance & Music Ensemble will premiere a new work that explores the delivery systems for renewable energy. New sources of energy mean that new conduits will be constructed to harness and deliver wind and sun; equity in how these new grids are designed and function are issues the work will raise. The premiere will feature jazz saxophonist & composer Jon Irabagaon. This grant was awarded under the Neighborhood Cultural Destinations category.

City’s Initiative – Tami Moschioni
Tami Moschioni: “Tres Brisas” is Art Uniti’s public art celebrating Near Northside’s Latino culture with three, migratory sculptural installations. Sculptures unveil October 20th at Northside’s MD Andersen YMCA with performances by Ambassadors Ballet Folkloric and mariachi music. The sculptures re-emerge on the Tour de Northside bike tour featuring public art on Saturday, November 18th. They’re reunited on Sunday, December 3rd at Northside’s Irvington Park hugging trees with a finale dance performance (interpretation of folkloric dance) synchronized with rhythms of Latin Jazz. This grant was awarded under the Conference Tourism category.

Te-Jui Fu: H.O.F is a festival created to be enjoyed by the whole family (Adults & Kids) during the springtime (April/2023). The festival includes an Origami art exhibition and 5 workshops (kids & adults): 2 basic Origami workshops, 2 advanced Origami workshops, the awarded “Foldtstic” documentary film (18 minutes) on Origami master artist Kyle ( Te – Jui) Fu, and a meet & greet (Q & A) with the Origami masters session after the film screening. The date for the festival is Saturday, April 15 from 10 – 6 PM through Sunday, April 16th  12 Noon – 5 PM. Festivities will be held at the Chinese Community Center  This grant was awarded under the Resilience category.

Trent Wittenbach: A short documentary film exploring the history, art and craft of Las Catrinas, how they are symbolic of the East End neighborhood of Houston and Día de los Muertos. Through interviews with several Catrinas, we will learn about the history and art as we see them create their individual Catrina character. We will learn why they are so important to the identity of this community. We plan on screening the film at a venue in the East End accessible to the community during the lead-up to 2023 Día de los Muertos and on a project-specific website. This grant was awarded under the Neighborhood Cultural Destinations category.
