So, here is the official update for the Pixar Fest Summer Maps.  I do enjoy the choices for the covers but my only gripe is the obnoxious registered symbol right in the middle of the Pixar Pier loop circle.  Doesn’t Disney own the name Pixar? Does it really need that symbol right in the middle of the image?  Don’t see many changes on the inside of the Disneyland map.  The DCA map now reflects the division of Paradise Pier into Pixar Pier and Paradise Gardens Park.  I’m assuming the next change will be toward the end of  the Summer when they’re supposed to shut down “A Bugs Land” to be changed into some sort of Marvel Land.

Codes are:  DLP-062318-ENG & DCA062318-ENG

Here are the Summer Maps. I’m out of town but at least wanted to share the covers. Will post the official posting when I return with the inside scans.

Hey everyone, I added a Facebook Group for people to join, communicate with each other and help each other out with their collections.  Check it out…

As of today, Disneyland has yet to change their maps to reflect the change from Space Mountain to Hyperspace Mountain.  As this point, I think it’s safe to assume the maps won’t change until late June when the Pixar Pier is due to open in DCA.  It’s odd because the parks have changed the maps in the past for much smaller items/events.

***As always, I spoke too soon. Right after I posted this, I see a tweet from Disneyland that Hyperspace Mountain is ending June 3rd and it’s back to the normal Space Mountain. That explains why we haven’t gotten a new map.***

Has anyone been to the parks lately?  HyperSpace Mountain made it’s return over two weeks ago and I’m curious if they updated the Disneyland map to reflect that.  The PixarFest maps that came out in April have Space Mountain listed.

Pixar Fest is here!!!  I’m liking the new maps – clean, simple and fun!  I’ve heard they have these same images on banners in the esplanade between the parks and they also have some more with other Pixar movies so I will guess we may see come cover switch-outs over the summer party.  Perhaps, Incredibles when the revamped California Screaming opens and the sequel hits the movie screens.

So, I got some more information on the Chewbacca Map Mystery.  One day only on Sunday, March 18th Disneyland put out a Chewbacca cover map with the updated interior ads and the new code of DLP-031618-ENG.  Then strangely, the very next day, the park went back to the Pretzel Girl cover with the newly updated code and interior ads.  So, it seems we have a one day map and the reasoning behind it we may never know.  If you got your hands on one, congrats!

Thank you so much to blog follower Daniel for bringing this to our attention!

I’m so confused…the parks are just messing with us collectors now.  It seems that Disneyland is now handing out a Pretzel girl map with a code of 031618 that has a mention in the front cover ads for the Food & Wine Festival and a couple other minor changes.  So, I’m going to go ahead and say these are the official maps for the time being until April 13th which is when Pixar Fest is set to begin and the Food & Wine Festival ends.

The mystery of the one day Chewbacca maps is still waiting to be solved…stay tuned.

Well, it seems I spoke too soon.  After my post yesterday, it was brought to my attention that DCA actually just released on Friday (03/16) a new map with a grape covered Food & Wine Festival cover.  Also, it seems like we have a Chewbacca cover map coming back soon to Disneyland.  A follower of my blog (thank you Daniel) was able to obtain a Chewbacca cover map with the code 031618 as well (pictured below) yesterday (03/19) but other followers of the blog who visited the park today (03/20) reported that the park is still handing out the Pretzel map. So, something to look forward to.

Some of you guys asked about the 2018 Food & Wine Festival.  Please note on this blog, I only collect and list all the guide maps that are available at the front gate AKA the main park maps.  Like the prior years they didn’t change the map at the front gate for the Food & Wine Festival, they just create a separate map that can be picked up within the festival itself.  Going forward, I will do my best to let you guys know if there are any special maps like this released.  Prior years, they used to do a separate map for each week of the Festival but this year it looks like they did one to cover the whole Festival which makes it easier on us collectors.  Here’s a pic of the cover, I don’t have a scan of the inside.  Happy Collecting!
