Disney will kick off the Soundsational Summer at the Disneyland Resort with a press event on June 2-3, 2011 spanning across both theme parks and into the nearby Disneyland Hotel.
Today we received the schedule for Disneyland’s upcoming media event which will officially premiere The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure, Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, Mickey’s Soundsational Parade, Disneyland Hotel upgrades, and even a look at “What’s Next?” for the Disneyland Resort.
The press-only premiere events won’t be open to the public, but you can definitely follow us on Twitter and Facebook for all the latest news, pictures and updates, and then check back here to InsideTheMagic.net for complete coverage afterward. And after the attractions have held their grand openings, the public will be invited to enjoy them!
