Disneyland’s historic Autopia attraction faces a state-mandated deadline to retire its gas-powered cars by February 1, 2027, following an administrative error in engine certification. The park settled with regulators for $56,250 and is developing an electric prototype while seeking clean technology solutions. Meanwhile, Margaret Kerry, the actress who brought Tinker Bell to life in Peter Pan through her unique dance movements, passed away at 97 after a beloved career spanning decades. Her performance without dialogue or props relied entirely on imagination and dancer’s instincts that captivated audiences worldwide. The news also covers ongoing construction projects across Disneyland Resort under the DisneylandForward initiative, including new parking structures and attraction refurbishments. Several rides like Pirates of the Caribbean and Buzz Lightyear are undergoing extensive updates while Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind is set to reopen soon. New merchandise collections featuring jewel-toned themes inspired by park elements have launched at both California and Florida resorts.
