No Festival of the Holidays stage on the Wharf or in the Palisades Stage or Arches this year. It's like the entire sign budget was dropped.

No "Festival of Holidays" sign this year, at all.

So, apparently, the #PlayDisneyParks app got a totally new interface on iOS (v3)!?
Android is still on v. 2.35.1 with the older COVID-centric home-UI.

Disneyland has added "Park Visits" under your barcode, and this must be based on account or pass # or something - because I haven't used this pass every other day this year.
Feels like maybe a renewal tactic or something?

Well, here we are. $150 price increase and now *$1900* for a "pass" that's not really a pass - and there's at least an additional blockout day in 2026 compared to 2025.

It's kinda funny that for the Avatar redo, they muted/toned down most of the colors on Discovery Island, and then this new sign would 100% fit in the 1998 "Safari Village" look.
