In an exciting new collaboration with Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group, the Winchester Mystery House is launching “Festival Fright Nights.” This all-new Halloween event will transform the entire estate in a way never seen before, promising fans of the holiday a thoroughly original and immersive experience from the moment they first dare to step onto the iconic property.

The Story:

It’s Halloween night, 1924. Two years have passed since the death of the enigmatic Sarah Winchester. Her labyrinthine estate, Llanada Villa, has sat silent, its secrets buried beneath layers of dust. But now, under new ownership, the mansion’s doors are set to reopen. The mysterious host, a charming out-of-towner with a flair for the theatrical, invites the public to a grand 1920s Halloween Masquerade Ball, promising a night of costumes, glamour, music, and revelations… He claims to have opened a spiritual portal, a window into the past that will finally reveal why Sarah Winchester built her endless house of secrets. But the house remembers. Has he uncovered a truth long buried, or invited something unspeakable into our world?

“It’s incredibly exciting to have the opportunity to produce an event on such historic grounds,” says Brett Bertolino, Thirteenth Floor’s Director of Special Projects, “The lore of this property has given us so much to work with, and we look forward not only to creating a memorable experience for attendees this fall, but also to creating San Jose’s newest Halloween tradition.”

This event will debut three main haunted attractions, theatrical experiences, themed food and beverage offerings, and more. New paths and access to never-before-used spaces will create an unforgettable evening of immersive entertainment.

Running select nights from September 26 through November 1st, Festival Fright Nights at Winchester Mystery House is anticipated to become the premier Halloween destination in the South Bay.

June 13, 2025

At this year’s Annecy’s International Animation Film Festival, Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios offered a series of surprises that thrilled festival goers.

Jared Bush, Walt Disney Animation Studios’ chief creative officer and director/writer of the upcoming “Zootopia 2,” made his first appearance in Annecy to debut new footage and images from the anticipated sequel of the beloved Oscar®-winning global hit film, which will be theatrically released this November.

Thunderous applause and bursts of laughter punctuated his presentation as footage screened featured returning characters Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin), Nick Wilde (voice of Jason Bateman), and Mr. Big (voice of Maurice LaMarche), and new characters Gary De’Snake (voice of Ke Huy Quan), Nibbles (Fortune Feimster) and Dr. Fuzzby (voice of Quinta Brunson). The audience was particularly delighted when learning that French actor Jean Reno will lend his voice to a cameo role as an officer of the Zootopia Police Department. To celebrate the original film, “Zootopia” will be screened tonight under the stars on Le Pâquier.

Also within the presentation, Disney legendary director Ron Clements (“The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” “The Princess and the Frog,” “Moana”) was honored on stage with an induction into Annecy’s Walk of Fame. The celebration continued with a surprise announcement from Jared Bush revealing that Clements will return to Walt Disney Studios Animation in an advisory role.

Pixar kicked off their panel with the arrival of Pete Docter, Pixar Animation Studios’ chief creative officer, alongside “Elio” directors Madeline Sharafian and Domee Shi, and producer Mary Alice Drumm. The “Elio” filmmakers offered a brief preview of their summer movie full of heart, laughs and fantasy. The screening of 27 minutes of the movie enchanted festival goers, leaving them eager to discover the full scope of this brand-new adventure which will hit theatres next week.

The audience was then treated to an exclusive look at Pixar’s upcoming slate by Docter, who was honored with an induction into Annecy’s Walk of Fame. Highlights of the presentation included never-before-seen footage from Pixar’s March, 2026 release, “Hoppers,” screened exclusively for the Annecy audience along with a sneak peek at the first two minutes of the studio’s summer 2026 release, “Toy Story 5.”

Docter confirmed the return of Joan Cusack as Jessie in this next “Toy Story” chapter and announced exciting new characters as well. As the supervising animator on the original “Toy Story,” Docter then showcased rarely seen legacy footage from “Toy Story,” the first feature length computer animated film ever released, in celebration of its 30th anniversary.

Additionally, Docter announced a brand-new original project called “Gatto,” slated for summer 2027. From the filmmaking team behind “Luca,” director Enrico Casarosa and producer Andrea Warren, the new film returns to Italy, this time to Venice, where after years of maneuvering the canal-ridden, superstitious city, a black cat named Nero begins to question whether he’s lived the right lives. Indebted to a local feline mob boss, Nero finds himself in a quandary and is forced to forge a truly unexpected friendship that may finally lead him to his purpose—unless Venice gets the better of him first.

With these Disney and Pixar presentations, the studios reaffirmed their commitment to the Annecy International Animation Festival as a venue to deliver exclusive news and screenings to a global audience of animation fans.

Theater Review: Disney’s Frozen at La Mirada Theatre

June 10, 2025

“For the first time in forever,” experience the musical phenomenon which has taken the world by storm. Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature film, La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts & McCoy Rigby Entertainment presents the Los Angeles regional theatre premiere of “Disney’s FROZEN: The Broadway Musical”.

Includes all the film’s beloved songs along with new music written exclusively for the stage. In a beautiful, mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princess Anna (Cailen Fu) and Elsa (Jenna Lea Rosen) grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world, and increasingly distanced from each other. After only having met on the day Elsa is crowned queen, Princess Anna accepts a marriage proposal from Prince Hans (Garrett Canyon).

The magical powers Queen Elsa has desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home, with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff (Alexander Mendoza), his loyal reindeer Sven (Thomas Whitcomb), and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf (Mark Ivy). Full of magic, humor, and a stunning musical score, “Disney’s FROZEN: The Broadway Musical” is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance, and finding the real meaning of true love.

Disney’s FROZEN is “snow” exception at La Mirada when it comes to bringing out their best work with reproductions of Disney on Broadway. Disney’s FROZEN is the latest adaptation to the La Mirada stage after huge successes with “The Little Mermaid”, “Beauty and the Beast”, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”, and “Mary Poppins”. The recognizable songs from the animated film gets a fresh take on the stage.

New songs especially created for this adaptation range from enhancing core emotional moments fleshing out Elsa’s internal thoughts and fears, a duet about love between Anna and Kristoff, and an ensemble piece to complement the lively spirit of wandering Oaken (Daniel Dawson). The unmistakable vocals and live musical score calls the audience back to the world of Arendelle in an avalanche of whimsy and heart.

The expansive costumes sweeps between authentic townsfolk, rural fur for warmth , ceremonial affair, and to the crystal clean dazzle of Elsa’s iconic sparkling icicle dresses. The familiar will attract long time fans of the movie, but the exclusive stage songs is a reminder of the splendor of what captivated audiences in the first place.

Music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Book by Jennifer Lee. Based on the Disney film written by Jennifer Lee and directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee. Musical direction by Brad Gardner. Direction and Choreography by Dan Knechtges.

“Disney’s FROZEN: The Broadway Musical” performs on select times now thru June 29, 2025 at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts.

June 6, 2025

Plans are underway for a new parking structure and transportation hub to be built on the east side of the Disneyland Resort, on a portion of what is currently the Manchester cast member parking lot. This new area will provide approximately 6,000 parking spaces, shuttle and rideshare areas, security screening, and dedicated traffic access off of Disney Way to improve parking and traffic flow throughout the resort area.

The new parking and transportation hub will also feature a pedestrian bridge over Harbor Boulevard, leading to an all-new esplanade arrival experience and providing convenient public access.

These enhanced offerings are the first step in the resort’s next phase of construction. The project will create the necessary infrastructure to prepare for future growth and welcome more guests for new experiences. Upcoming additions include two new attractions that will double the size of Avengers Campus, a new “Coco”-themed ride, and an Avatar destination at Disney California Adventure Park.

The multi-year construction of this new arrival experience is slated to begin in the fall of 2026.

Updates on the Location for the “Coco” Attraction

Disney also announced that the upcoming attraction themed to Pixar Animation Studios’ “Coco” will be built near Paradise Gardens Park and Pixar Pier, in areas that are predominantly backstage today. Construction on this attraction is set to begin backstage this fall.

Avatar Experience Location Details

Additionally, a portion of the current Hollywood Backlot area will be transformed into the Avatar destination in Disney California Adventure. This project is still in the early stages of development, and additional details will be shared later, including construction timeframes.

To make way for this new experience, Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! will close in early 2026.

BoxLunch is delighted to introduce its Disney’s A Goofy Movie Collection, a whimsical and heartfelt gathering of more than 30 treasured products paying tribute to the movie’s memorable 30th anniversary. Fans can revisit the silly, touching world of the film through a nostalgic offering of collectibles that spotlight the lovable Goofy and Max, alongside exciting moments from their famous road trip.

This unique collection honors thirty years of father-son relationships, iconic Powerline concerts, and transcontinental escapades, vividly expressed through vibrant attire and accessories. Followers of all ages can celebrate the classic moments of the 1995 cult hit with retro fashion, old-school prints, and distinctive designs.

Goof Family Trip Photo Op/In-Store Activation

In addition to the collection, BoxLunch invites fans to take part in an immersive in-store experience at select locations nationwide. From June 7 – 8, guests can visit the Goof Family Trip photo op, a nostalgic activation featuring polaroid-style photo booths complete with themed props and backdrop inspired by the film’s iconic road trip scene. Shoppers can snap pictures and share their moments by tagging @BoxLunchGifts. The fun ramps up June that weekend with high-energy events featuring DJs spinning ’90s hits, trivia games, and exclusive giveaways at select stores.

Ultimate BoxLunch Road Trip Sweepstakes

Adding to the excitement is the Ultimate BoxLunch Road Trip Sweepstakes. From June 6 – 30, fans can enter for a chance to win a grand prize getaway for a four-night stay for two at the Under Canvas Grand Canyon Resort, roundtrip airfare, a polaroid camera bundle, and the many pieces from our Disney’s A Goofy Movie collection. The content will launch on BoxLunch Facebook, Instagram and X.

Each purchase from the latest assortments contributes, as always, to a good cause. For every $10 spent online or in-store, BoxLunch will provide a meal to a person in need through its philanthropic partnership with Feeding America.
