Don’t expect any big changes with “Big Thunder”
The Web’s awash in rumors of the permanent closing of this Disneyland thrill ride. Jim Hill sets the record straight as to why the “Wildest Ride in the Wilderness” will continue to roll on in Anaheim for many years to come.
I know this is going to seem somewhat hypocritical (not to mention bizarre) for a webmaster to say something like this … But — you know — you can’t believe everything that you read on the Internet.
Take — for example — the rumors that are currently flying around the Web about the ultimate fate of Disneyland’s “Big Thunder Mountain” attraction. Were you to believe some of the stories that have been popping up on various Disneyana discussion boards, it would seem like the Walt Disney Company is getting ready to send a wrecking crew out to Anaheim tonight. And that these burly guys will soon be tearing down “Big Thunder Mountain” to make way for a brand new Frontierland ride. Something that (no doubt) moves very slowly and probably involves pillows.
Well, after calling a few folks fairly high up in the Mouse House food chain, let me state for the record that Disneyland’s “Big Thunder Mountain” ain’t going anywhere. That — following a two or three week long investigation — this Frontierland attraction will reopen for business later this summer. And that — God willing — the “Wildest Ride in the Wilderness” will probably run for many decades yet to come.
How do I know this? I can give you three very good reasons: The “Big Thunder Mountain” attraction at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, the “Big Thunder Mountain” attraction at Tokyo Disneyland and the “Big Thunder Mountain” attraction at Disneyland – Paris.
To put it bluntly here, folks: “Big Thunder Mountain” is a franchise for the Mouse. A pretty popular (And — more importantly — profitable) one at that. And — were the Walt Disney Company to ever permanently close this Disneyland thrill ride for “safety reasons” — that would put the “unsafe” taint on all of the other “Big Thunder” attractions operating around the globe. And Disney’s financial partners (I.E. The Oriental Land Company and EuroDisney SCA) just wouldn’t stand for that.
So Disney’s going to do its damnedest to try & quickly find out why this Frontierland attraction has had such a run of bad luck lately. (Though — from what I’ve been told — both last Thursday’s incident as well as March’s unfortunate collision between two empty trains appear to be a case of pure operator error. As in: The cast members who were manning Disneyland’s “Big Thunder” seem to have lost track of where the trains actually were in the station area. Which is what ultimately caused these two unfortunate incidents.) Then — after the current investigation’s complete — look for the Walt Disney Company to mount a huge PR campaign to try & convince the public that “Big Thunder” is once again safe to ride.
Of course, when this happens, look for Disney’s PR flacks to issue a statement saying that brand new safeguards & procedures have been put into place which virtually guarantees that something like this will never happen again. Which will only make longtime Disneyland employees laugh …
“Why would longtime Disneyland employees laugh about something like that?,” you ask. Here, let me let you in one of the Anaheim theme park’s deep dark little secrets. This trains-bumping-into-one-another-in-the-station-area thing? It’s been going on for years.
Mind you, we’re not talking about horrific accidents like last September’s crash which claimed the life of poor Marcelo Torres. Or even unfortunate incidents like what happened back in March of 1998 when 5-year-old David Fackler got his foot crushed as the train he was riding rolled into the attraction’s offload area. Which resulted in this little boy losing several toes.
No, I’m talking about your garden variety scuffs & bumps. When someone at the “Big Thunder Mountain” operating console accidentally misjudges the distance between trains in the loading/unloading area and/or isn’t paying attention for a few seconds and forgets to switch the track over as they’re bringing a trainload of guests into the station.
Said one Disneyland vet (who — for obvious reasons — asked not to be identified):
Since this attraction first opened back in 1979, we’ve probably had at least one incident like this for every year “Big Thunder” ‘s been in operation. Where trains would bump into one another in the load/offload area. Or a train would come to a sudden stop while the ride was in motion, giving everyone on board a nasty scare as well as some bumps & bruises.
Of course, this was before the state was paying such close attention to theme park safety problems. More importantly, this was back in the day when Disney actually had a reputation for keeping its guests safe, treating its customers right.
So — when something like this would happen — Disneyland’s managers would rush on over to Frontierland, armed with pocketloads of free passes to the park, free meal coupons, even vouchers for several nights stay at the Disneyland Hotel. And then — after apologizing profusely to all the agitated guests and then offering to refund everyone’s admission price to the park that day — they’d then begin handing out all those free tickets & food vouchers. Usually, that was enough to do the trick. Which is why incidents like this never ever made into the papers.
Of course, there were always those people who couldn’t be bought off with free Disneyland passes or food coupons. They’d hold their necks, cry “whiplash” and threaten to sic their attorneys on us. All we’d ask them to do — before they talked with reporters — was to have their lawyers call Disney’s legal department. That’s when we’d typically offer a cash settlement if they’d agree to keep quiet. All those nondisclosure forms really helped keep the company’s reputation for guest safety intact.
Mind you, this was back in the ’70s, ’80s, even early ’90s. Before people got jaded and greedy. Nowadays everyone wants their turn in the spotlight. So — when something like this happens — they’re quick to contact the press.
And — in the age of mobile phones & the Internet — it’s obviously a whole harder to sweep these sorts of things under the rug. Not that we don’t still try, mind you. But after Marcelo Torres’ death, “Big Thunder” is obviously on everyone’s radar. So whenever anyone so much as gets a paper cut while riding this attraction, we’ve got news copters flying over Frontierland.
So — sure — Disney will undoubtedly spend the next few weeks cooperating with DOSH. Doing everything they can to help speed along this investigation. I’d even anticipate that the company will OK making some pretty sweeping changes to the station area this time around. Doing everything they can to help improve sightlines for the operator, so that it’s that much easier for cast members to keep track of where the trains actually are once they finish their run and enter the station area.
But will this new set of precautions actually prevent accidents from ever happening again on Disneyland’s “Big Thunder Mountain” ride? I doubt it.
If this ride’s historic pattern holds, we’re still going to see more incidents like what happened back in March, what happened last week. Relatively minor incidents. But — as for what happened to that poor Torres kid and little David Fackler — hopefully we’ve seen the end of that sort of accident.
But let’s face facts, Jim: “Big Thunder Mountain” is a piece of very heavy, extremely complicated equipment operated by humans. And humans make mistakes. You can put all the safeguards you want in place, but humans still make mistakes.
So — yes — I think that Disneyland’s “Big Thunder Mountain” is going to have more of these trains-bumping-in-the-station-area incidents in the future. I just hope that — once we get this ride reopened later this summer — that we don’t have another incident like this for another couple of years.
“Big Thunder Mountain” needs to be an accident-free zone for the next couple of years. Otherwise, people will always refer to it as the ride that that guy died on. The Disneyland attraction where the trains keep crashing into one another. And — in order for Disneyland to continue to be thought of as a safe & friendly place to take a family — we really can’t afford to have any more incidents like this.
So there you have it, folks. These bumping-in-the-station-area incidents HAVE happened before with Disneyland’s “Big Thunder Mountain” ride. Perhaps dozens of times over the past 25 years. But — because Disney’s usually been able to play these incidents down, keep stories of these accidents out of the press — we’ve never really heard about them … Til now.
Which brings up an interesting question: Have any of you JHM readers ever been involved in something like this at a Disney theme park? Where a ride or attraction malfunctioned on you? Which resulted in Disney reps swarming all over you? Offering you theme park tickets, meal coupons or even hotel vouchers? If you just agreed to forget about the incident?
Inquiring minds wanna know.

Disney and Macy’s 90-Year Thanksgiving Day Parade Partnership: From Mickey’s First Balloon to Minnie’s Big Debut
Now, folks, if you’re like me, Thanksgiving just wouldn’t be the same without a coffee, a cozy seat, and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on the TV. And if you’re really like me, you’re watching for one thing: Disney balloons floating down 34th Street. Ever wondered how Mickey, Donald, and soon Minnie Mouse found their way into this beloved New York tradition? Well, grab your popcorn because we’re diving into nearly 90 years of Disney’s partnership with Macy’s.
The Very First Parade and the Early Days of Balloons
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade goes way back to 1924, but if you can believe it, balloons weren’t part of the festivities until 1927. That first lineup included Felix the Cat, a dragon, and a toy soldier, all towering above the crowds. Back then, Macy’s had a pretty wild idea to end the parade: they would let the balloons drift off into the sky, free as birds. But this wasn’t just Macy’s feeling generous. Each balloon had a message attached, offering a $100 reward (about $1,800 in today’s dollars) for anyone who returned it to the flagship store on 34th Street.
And here’s where it gets interesting. This tradition carried on for a few years, right up until 1932, when Felix the Cat almost took down a plane flying over New York City! Imagine that—you’re flying into LaGuardia, and suddenly, there’s a 60-foot balloon drifting toward your wing. Needless to say, that was the end of Macy’s “fly away” stunt, and from then on, the balloons have stayed firmly grounded after the parade ends.
1934: Mickey Mouse Floats In, and Disney Joins the Parade
It was 1934 when Mickey Mouse finally made his grand debut in the Macy’s parade. Rumor has it Walt Disney himself collaborated with Macy’s on the design, and by today’s standards, that first Mickey balloon was a bit of a rough cut. This early Mickey had a hotdog-shaped body, and those oversized ears gave him a slightly lopsided look. But no one seemed to mind. Mickey was there, larger than life, floating down the streets of New York, and the crowd loved him.
Mickey wasn’t alone that year. He was joined by Pluto, Horace Horsecollar, and even the Big Bad Wolf and Practical Pig from The Three Little Pigs, making it a full Disney lineup for the first time. Back then, Disney wasn’t yet the entertainment powerhouse we know today, so for Walt, getting these characters in the parade meant making a deal. Macy’s required its star logo to be featured on each Disney balloon—a small concession that set the stage for Disney’s long-standing presence in the parade.
Duck Joins and Towers Over Mickey
A year later, in 1935, Macy’s introduced Donald Duck to the lineup, and here’s where things got interesting. Mickey may have been the first Disney character to float through the parade, but Donald made a huge splash—literally. His balloon was an enormous 60 feet tall and 65 feet long, towering over Mickey’s 40-foot frame. Donald quickly became a fan favorite, appearing in the lineup for several years before being retired.
Fast-forward a few decades, and Donald was back for a special appearance in 1984 to celebrate his 50th birthday. Macy’s dug the balloon out of storage, re-inflated it, and sent Donald down 34th Street once again, bringing a bit of nostalgia to the holiday crowd.
A Somber Parade in 2001
Now, one of my most memorable trips to the parade was in 2001, just weeks after the 9/11 attacks. Nancy and I, along with our friends, headed down to New York, and the mood was something I’ll never forget. We watched the start of the parade from Central Park West, but before that, we went to the Museum of Natural History the night before to see the balloons being inflated. They were covered in massive cargo nets, with sandbags holding them down. It’s surreal to see these enormous balloons anchored down before they’re set free.
That year, security was intense, with police lining the streets, and then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani rode on the Big Apple float to roaring applause. People cheered his name, waving and shouting as he passed. It felt like the entire city had turned out to show their resilience. Even amidst all the heightened security and tension, seeing those balloons—brought a bit of joy back to the city.
Balloon Prep: From New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium to California’s D23 Expo
Each year before the parade, Macy’s holds a rehearsal event known as Balloon Fest at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. This is where handlers get their first crack at guiding the balloons, practicing with their parade masters, and learning the ropes—literally. It’s an entire production unto itself, with dozens of people rehearsing to make sure these enormous inflatables glide smoothly down the streets of New York on parade day.
In 2015, Macy’s took the balloon show on the road, bringing their Buzz Lightyear balloon out to California for the D23 Expo. I was lucky enough to be there, and watching Buzz get inflated piece by piece in the Anaheim Convention Center parking lot was something to behold. Each section was filled with helium in stages, and when they got around to Buzz’s lower half, well, there were more than a few gas-related jokes from the crowd.
These balloons seem to have a personality all their own, and seeing one like Buzz come to life up close—even outside of New York—had all the excitement and anticipation of the real deal.
Mickey’s Comeback as a Bandleader and Sailor Mickey
After a long hiatus, Mickey Mouse made his return to the Macy’s parade in 2000, this time sporting a new bandleader outfit. Nine years later, in 2009, Sailor Mickey joined the lineup, promoting Disney Cruise Line with a nautical twist. Over the past two decades, Disney has continued to enchant parade-goers with characters like Buzz Lightyear in 2008 and Olaf from Frozen in 2017. These balloons keep Disney’s iconic characters front and center, drawing in both longtime fans and new viewers.
But ever wonder what happens to the balloons after they reach the end of 34th Street? They don’t just disappear. Each balloon is carefully deflated, rolled up like a massive piece of laundry, and packed into storage bins. From there, they’re carted back through the Lincoln Tunnel to Macy’s Parade Studio in New Jersey, where they await their next flight.
Macy’s Disney Celebration at Hollywood Studios
In 1992, Macy’s took the spirit of the parade down to Disney-MGM Studios in Orlando. After that year’s parade, several balloons—including Santa Goofy, Kermit the Frog, and Betty Boop—were transported to Hollywood Studios, re-inflated, and anchored along New York Street as part of a holiday display. Visitors could walk through this “Macy’s New York Christmas” setup and see the balloons up close, right in the middle of the park. While this display only ran for one season, it paved the way for the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights, which became a holiday staple at the park for years to come.
Minnie Mouse’s Long-Awaited Debut in 2024
This year, Minnie Mouse will finally join the parade, making her long-overdue debut. Macy’s is rolling out the red carpet for Minnie’s arrival with special pop-up shops across the country, where fans can find exclusive Minnie ears, blown-glass ornaments, T-shirts, and more to celebrate her first appearance in the Thanksgiving Day Parade.
For those lucky enough to catch the parade this year, you’ll see Minnie take her first float down 34th Street, decked out in her iconic red bow and polka-dot dress. Macy’s and Disney are also unveiling a new Disney Cruise Line float honoring all eight ships, including the latest, the Disney Treasure.
As always, I’ll be watching from my favorite chair, coffee in hand, as Minnie makes her grand entrance. The 98th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade airs live on NBC, and it’s a tradition you won’t want to miss—whether you’re on 34th Street or tuning in from home.

Disney’s Forgotten Halloween Event: The Original Little Monsters on Main Street
When most Disney fans think of Halloween in the parks, they immediately picture Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World or the Oogie Boogie Bash at Disneyland Resort. But before those events took over as the must-attend spooky celebrations, there was a little-known event at Disneyland called Little Monsters on Main Street. And its origins? Well, they go all the way back to the 1980s, during a time when America was gripped by fear—the Satanic Panic.
You see, back in the mid-1980s, parents were terrified that Halloween had become dangerous. Urban legends about drug-laced candy or razor blades hidden in apples were widespread, and many parents felt they couldn’t let their kids out of sight for even a moment. Halloween, which was once a carefree evening of trick-or-treating in the neighborhood, had suddenly become a night filled with anxiety.
This is where Disneyland’s Little Monsters on Main Street came in.
The Origins of Little Monsters on Main Street
Back in 1989, the Disneyland Community Action Team—later known as the VoluntEARS—decided to create a safe, nostalgic Halloween experience for Cast Members and their families. Many schools in the Anaheim area were struggling to provide basic school supplies to students, and the VoluntEARS saw an opportunity to combine a safe Halloween with a charitable cause. Thus, Little Monsters on Main Street was born.
This event was not open to the general public. Only Disneyland Cast Members could purchase tickets, which were initially priced at just $5 each. Cast Members could bring their kids—but only as many as were listed as dependents with HR. And even then, the park put a cap on attendance: the first event was limited to just 1,000 children.
A Unique Halloween Experience
Little Monsters on Main Street wasn’t just another Halloween party. It was designed to give kids a safe, fun environment to enjoy trick-or-treating, much like the good old days. On Halloween night in 1989, kids in costume wandered through Disneyland with their pillowcases, visiting 20 different trick-or-treat stations. They also had the chance to ride a few of their favorite Fantasyland attractions, all after the park had closed to the general public.
The event was run entirely by the VoluntEARS—about 200 of them—who built and set up all the trick-or-treat stations themselves. They arrived at Disneyland before the park closed and, as soon as the last guest exited, they began setting up stations across Main Street, Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland. The event ran from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., and by the time the last pillowcase-wielding kid left, the VoluntEARS cleaned everything up, making sure the park was ready for the next day’s operations.
It wasn’t just candy and rides, though. The event featured unique entertainment, like a Masquerade Parade down Main Street, U.S.A., where kids could show off their costumes. And get this—Disneyland even rigged up a Cast Member dressed as a witch to fly from the top of the Matterhorn to Frontierland on the same wire that Tinker Bell uses during the fireworks. Talk about a magical Halloween experience!
The Haunted Mansion “Tip-Toe” Tour
Perhaps one of the most memorable parts of Little Monsters on Main Street was the special “tip-toe tour” of the Haunted Mansion. Now, Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion can be a pretty scary attraction for younger kids, so during this event, Disney left the doors to the Stretching Room and Portrait Gallery wide open. This allowed kids to walk through and peek at the Haunted Mansion’s spooky interiors without actually having to board the Doom Buggies. For those brave enough to ride, they could, of course, take the full trip through the Haunted Mansion—or they could take the “chicken exit” and leave, no harm done.
Growing Success and a Bigger Event
Thanks to the event’s early success, Little Monsters on Main Street grew in size. By 1991, the attendance cap had been raised to 2,000 kids, and Disneyland added more activities like magic shows and hayrides. They also extended the event’s hours, allowing kids to enjoy the festivities until 10:30 p.m.
In 2002, the event moved over to Disney California Adventure, where it could accommodate even more kids—up to 5,000 in its later years. The name was also shortened to just Little Monsters, since it was no longer held on Main Street. This safe, family-friendly Halloween event continued for several more years, with the last mention of Little Monsters appearing in the Disneyland employee newsletter in 2008. Though some Cast Members recall the event continuing until 2012, it eventually made way for Disney’s more public-facing Halloween events.
From Little Monsters to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary and Oogie Boogie Bash
Starting in the early 2000s, Disney began realizing the potential of Halloween-themed after-hours events for the general public. These early versions of Mickey’s Halloween Party and Mickey’s Halloween Treat eventually evolved into today’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Oogie Boogie Bash. Unfortunately, this also marked the end of the intimate, Cast Member-exclusive Little Monsters event, but it paved the way for the large-scale Halloween celebrations we know and love today.
While it’s bittersweet to see Little Monsters on Main Street fade into Disney history, its legacy lives on through these modern Halloween parties. And even though Cast Members now receive discounted tickets to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary and Oogie Boogie Bash, the special charm of an event created specifically for Disney’s employees and their families remains something worth remembering.
The Merch: A Piece of Little Monsters History
For Disney collectors, the exclusive merchandise created for Little Monsters on Main Street is still out there. You can find pins, name tags, and themed pillowcases on sites like eBay. One of the coolest collectibles is a 1997 cloisonné pin set featuring Huey, Dewey, and Louie dressed as characters from Hercules. Other sets paid tribute to the Main Street Electrical Parade and Pocahontas, while the pillowcases were uniquely designed for each year of the event.
While Little Monsters on Main Street may be gone, it’s a fascinating piece of Disneyland history that played a huge role in shaping the Halloween celebrations we enjoy at Disney parks today.

The Story of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party: From One Night to a Halloween Family Tradition
The spooky season is already in full swing at Disney parks on both coasts. On August 9th, the first of 38 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) nights for 2024 kicked off at Florida’s Magic Kingdom. Meanwhile, over at Disney California Adventure, the Oogie Boogie Bash began on August 23rd and is completely sold out across its 27 dates this year.
Looking back, it’s incredible to think about how these Halloween-themed events have grown. But for Disney, the idea of charging guests for Halloween fun wasn’t always a given. In fact, when the very first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party debuted on October 31, 1995, it was a modest one-night-only affair. Compare that to the near month-long festivities we see today, and it’s clear that Disney’s approach to Halloween has evolved considerably.
A Not-So-Scary Beginning
I was fortunate enough to attend that very first MNSSHP back in 1995, along with my then 18-month-old daughter Alice and her mom, Michelle. Tickets were a mere $16.95 (I know, can you imagine?), and we pushed Alice around in her sturdy Emmaljunga stroller—Swedish-built and about the size of a small car. Cast Members, charmed by her cuteness, absolutely loaded us up with candy. By the end of the night, we had about 30 pounds of fun-sized candy bars, making that push up to the monorail a bit more challenging.
This Halloween event was Disney’s response to the growing popularity of Universal Studios Florida’s own Halloween hard ticket event, which started in 1991 as “Fright Nights” before being rebranded as “Halloween Horror Nights” the following year. Universal’s gamble on a horror-themed experience helped salvage what had been a shaky opening for their park, and by 1993, Halloween Horror Nights was a seven-night event, with ticket prices climbing as high as $35. Universal had stumbled upon a goldmine, and Disney took notice.
A Different Approach
Now, here’s where Disney’s unique strategy comes into play. While Universal embraced the gory, scare-filled world of horror, Disney knew that wasn’t their brand. Instead of competing directly with blood and jump-scares, Disney leaned into what they did best: creating magical, family-friendly experiences.
Thus, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party was born. The focus was on fun and whimsy, not fear. Families could bring their small children without worrying about them being terrified by a chainsaw-wielding maniac around the next corner. This event wasn’t just a Halloween party—it was an extension of the Disney magic that guests had come to expect from the parks.
Disney had some experience with seasonal after-hours events, most notably Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, which had started in 1983. But the Halloween party was different, as the Magic Kingdom wasn’t yet decked out in Halloween decor the way it is today. Disney had to create a spooky (but not too spooky) atmosphere using temporary props, fog machines, and, of course, lots of candy.
A key addition to that first event? The debut of the Headless Horseman, who made his eerie appearance in Liberty Square, riding a massive black Percheron. It wasn’t as elaborate as the Boo-to-You Parade we see today, but it marked the beginning of a beloved Disney Halloween tradition.
A Modest Start but a Big Future
That first MNSSHP in 1995 was seen as a trial run. As Disney World spokesman Greg Albrecht told the Orlando Sentinel, “If it’s successful, we’ll do it again.” And while attendance was sparse that night, there was clearly potential. By 1997, the event expanded to two nights, and by 1999, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party had grown into a multi-night celebration with a full-fledged parade. Today, in 2024, it’s a staple of the fall season at Walt Disney World, offering 38 nights of trick-or-treating, character meet-and-greets, and special entertainment.
Universal’s Influence
It’s interesting to reflect on how Disney’s Halloween event might never have existed without the competition from Universal. Just as “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” forced Disney to step up their game with “Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge,” Universal’s success with Halloween Horror Nights likely spurred Disney into action with MNSSHP. The friendly rivalry between the two parks has continually pushed both to offer more to their guests, and we’re all better off because of it.
So the next time you find yourself trick-or-treating through the Magic Kingdom, watching the Headless Horseman gallop by, or marveling at the seasonal fireworks, take a moment to appreciate how this delightful tradition came to be—all thanks to a little competition and Disney’s commitment to creating not-so-scary magic.
