New “Buena Vista Bugle” – Spring 2016

A new “Buena Vista Bugle” was released two weeks ago that includes some articles about the Spring activities within the park including the “Food & Wine Festival” that made a return to the park this year.  This edition is Spring 2016 – Volume 5, Issue 3.

I also modified the Bugle section of the blog to include a special variant copy of Summer 2015’s “Volume 4, Issue 3” where the park changed the cover image to be an actual picture of the Carthay Theater decked out in it’s 60th best instead of a concept art picture which what was originally printed. (Thank you Chris for bringing this variant copy to be attention)

Also, added Volume 5, Issue 2 which was only available one day on February 12th, 2016 for DCA’s 15th Anniversary.

Disneyland has gone to the Darkside!

After three months of the Chewbacca maps, Disneyland has changed tides and went to the darkside.  New maps came out earlier this week that now feature a Stormtropper on the cover.  DCA maps stayed the same but I expect a change soon to remove all Mad T party references.  Not much changed on this inside at Disneyland.  I noticed that  Super Hero HQ was removed and Autopia now features the new paint scheme and “Presented by Honda” in ride description.

The codes are DLP-040316-ENG & DCA-011916-ENG

Buena Vista Bugles

I’ve had several requests to add the popular “Buena Vista Bugles” to my blog.  So, check out the new Bugle page (link below) to see a complete list of the Volumes and Issues that have been printed to date along with complete scans of the four pages for your reading pleasure.

I have reports that a new Bugle has been issued within the past couple weeks but I have not been able to get one yet or confirm what is on the cover.

Happy Collecting!

New DCA Map – Luigi’s Officially Added!

Yesterday, March 7th, DCA released that map that was accidentally released and then pulled back in January featuring the addition of the new ride – Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters.  The same Disneyland map is still being used since January 11th.

The codes are DLP-011116-ENG & DCA-011916-ENG

Luigi’s to open Monday!

So, the Resort has announced that the new Luigi’s ride will be officially opening Monday the 7th so we should see at least new DCA maps.  I’m curious to see if they will be those same maps they accidently released in January or will they be all new maps.  We’ll know Monday!

Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters added to DCA Map – EDITED

I stopped by the parks last night.  Upon entry to DCA, I was shocked to see a new map (same Mater cover) but with a new code and on the inside, it now has the new Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters added in Cars Land in anticipation of it’s upcoming opening.

The new code is DCA-011916-ENG.  Here are some pictures of the inside and new code of the sole map I grabbed when I went in.  I folded it so I do not have a good full scan of the inside yet.

I grabbed a stack of maps when I was leaving only to find out when I got home they are the old DCA-010716-ENG maps without the new ride so make sure to pay attention to what map you grab when collecting! 🙂

EDIT:  It looks like all traces of this map has been removed from the park.  It was also never uploaded to the official site.

Happy New Year and May The Force Be With You!

Happy New Year!!!  2016 is here and we got new maps today!  Needless to say with the hoopla that is Star Wars, we got a new Star Wars cover on the Disneyland map featuring the one and only Chewbacca!  DCA is also doing a little bit of a Star Wars shout-out with Mater featured in front of a star filled sky.   I’m not sure how long these maps will last as a good majority of attractions will be closing this Sunday at both parks to make way for the construction of the new Star Wars Land.  We’ll see come Monday if these maps are still being used.  Happy Collecting!

Here are scans of the inside:   Disneyland and DCA

Codes on these new maps are DLP-010716-ENG and DCA-010716-ENG
