Disneyland Security Host Gives Us A Look At How The Theme Park Is Doing
Earlier today,we here at MickeyBlog shared a story with you about Elio, a security guard at Disney Hollywood Studios who during his evening rounds decided to give us a look at how this theme park is doing.
He then passed the baton over to his colleague at Disneyland Resort. Her name is Tina, Security Deputy Manager with Disneyland and hot on Elio’s heels she gave us a tour of the “Happiest Place on Earth!”
Hello there! I’m Tina, Security Duty Manager at the Disneyland Resort. We were inspired by Elio’s look inside @WaltDisneyWorld Resort & decided to give our followers a peek inside Disneyland park. #DisneyCastLife pic.twitter.com/xUwAZNQzZw

First, her rounds took her from the HUB over to the Mark Twain Riverboat which we think is looking particularly stunning at sunset. Tina shares an incredible memory of Louis Armstrong performing while aboard the ship! How amazing is that!?
I grew up a mile north of Disneyland & could always hear the whistle of the Mark Twain Riverboat. Favorite childhood memory: one summer night I saw the great Louis Armstrong performing aboard while cruising along the Rivers of America. -Tina #DisneyCastLife pic.twitter.com/JNuUe95SMp

Then it’s over to one of our favorite neighbourhoods, New Orleans Square where Tina has another incredible memory of working her first job at River Belle Terrace!
My first job was at River Belle Terrace in New Orleans Square. The area remains one of my favorite places to walk and peer through shop windows. In the evenings, you can still smell the beautiful aromas from Mlle. Antoinette’s Parfumerie. -Tina #DisneyCastLife pic.twitter.com/6chmvCgDsQ

I learned something new about Disneyland today thanks to Tina’s tour! In the photo below you can see a rare geological artefact that apparently sits on the banks of the Rivers of America in Frontierland. According to our guide, it is thought to be 55-70 million years old and rumour has it, this piece was a gift from Lillian!
In Frontierland, you can’t miss this rare geological artifact: the petrified tree. It’s believed to be between 55-70 million years old! Did you know that it was a present from Lillian Disney? -Tina #DisneyCastLife pic.twitter.com/BFVDZOKkiI

Now that the sun has set, its time for a visit to Storyland Canal Boats with its tranquil lighting and beautiful floral displays.
As a kid, I remember being afraid of Monstro the Whale, looming over Storybook Land Canal Boats. Tonight, however, he looks beautiful surrounded by bright florals. Love that this attraction transports you to the homes of happily ever afters. -Tina #DisneyCastLife pic.twitter.com/Xrirxmnwji

Next up is this stunning shot of the Swiss flags along the Matterhorn Bobsleds’ queue.d This is probably the first and only time we’ll see the line this empty!
Also in Fantasyland, I couldn’t help but look up at the Swiss flags glowing above Matterhorn Bobsleds’ queue. When I worked in Attractions, this was one of my favorites. There’s nothing better than pressing “Chuck’s Bell” & giving a 👍. -Tina #DisneyCastLife pic.twitter.com/gidNeTcwxY

And the final stop on Tina’s tour is inside Sleeping Beauty Castle walkthrough where you can see this beautiful illuminated portrait of Princess Aurora being awoken by Prince Philip
Thought I’d end the evening with this illuminated portrait of Sleeping Beauty at her castle. We hope you enjoyed following along with our #DisneyCastLife walks through Disneyland & @WaltDisneyWorld Resorts. “They say if you dream a thing more than once, it’s sure to come true.” pic.twitter.com/okgQUYevdG

We want to send out a HUGE shoutout to Disneyland and Tina for taking the time to share these incredible images with us. It is wonderful to have a taste of “Home” while the theme parks are closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
