Behind the Scenes at WDI, "Donald's Apprentice," Send Your Kid to DCA day, Anaheim's Conquest by Eminent Domain, Cruise on Disney Magic
Look for "Donald's Apprentice" coming to Disneyland this summer!
Donald Trumps "Apprentice" reality television show is teaming up with ABC and is now under contract with Disney to produce 28 new episodes for this coming fall season. The name is being changed to "The Donald's Apprentice," the show will be filmed at Disneyland this summer, and it will air on your local ABC station in the fall.
Contestants will be given a short training sessions at Team Disney headquarters and then be thrust into various cast member positions that require a lot of public contact. The winner will become the new manager of Disneyland for a year! (A losing contestants will manage DCA.)
Want to catch a contestant "in action"? Just keep an eye open for Disneyland cast members who seem slightly clueless. If you see a "cast member" mess up, let them know that you know they are an impostor -- just point your finger at them and shout "You're FiredTM!" This is going to be fun, since the average guest will likely have no idea that The Donald's Apprentice is being filmed!
Did you know that Sunday April 10, is the official "Send your kid to DCA day"?
Starting in mid March, a heavy promotional campaign will be launched promoting April 10 as "Send your kid to DCA day!" According to the glossy promotional brochure put out to promote the event, on that day Disneyland will be closed to young people under 21 and parents will be required to send their kids to DCA instead. What a great opportunity for those of us without kids! Can you imagine spending an entire day at Disneyland and not having to put up with whining, sniveling, crying, line jumping children? That's right – for one whole day we adults get the park all to ourselves! We can ride Peter Pan and Dumbo as many times as we like, there will be no lines in Toontown, and the Baby Care Center will be temporarily rethemed as a pub! This is expected to be a hit with annual passholders and people who are under court order not to fraternize with children and, if successful, will be an annual event!
