Peter Parker has crafted a new Spider-Bot for Pride Month 2024. This limited-release Pride Spider-Bot is available from WEB Suppliers in Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure and on DisneyStore.com.
Pride Month Spider-Bot – $29.99
The bot has a black base. Each leg is a different color of the rainbow pride flag: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The green is a little more turquoise than the standard green. The legs also feature silver panels near the joints.
The full rainbow is on the bot’s carapace, above its eyes.
Like other Spider-Bots, its eyes light up and it moves by pressing the button on its back.

Crew members are hard at work on the grounds expansion coming to the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland Park.
Haunted Mansion Construction Update
We got a look at the construction updates going on in the Haunted Mansion queue area while riding the Mark Twain River Boat. The walled-off construction area begins right up against Tiana’s Palace in New Orleans Square, to the left of the Mansion.
Portions of the brick wall at the far side of the queue have been removed in the construction. This work is all being done for a major grounds expansion that will revamp the outdoor queue area with more immersion and themed elements. This will include gardens and a new gift shop.
The wooden walls that separate the hillside from the queue area have been lined with what appear to be sheets of metal.
There is also newly-added greet tubing coming from the ground. Once completed, this area will be home to the extended queue gardens area, completed with a gazebo, fountain, and a greenhouse.
Crew members could be seen working near the front of the Mansion. The outside of the Haunted Mansion will not be changed during the construction work.
The front patio of the Mansion is sectioned off, with work happening on both sides of the plastic tarp. The construction walls here have proven to be unique, debuting the first construction walls with MagicBand+ integration, and a lenticular gallery of the Mansion’s changing portraits.
Moving further to the right side, we arrive at the future location of the attraction’s gift shop. Here, behind the trees on the right side of the image, will be the Mansion’s carriage house that is converted into a gift shop owned by Madame Leota.
While the exit crypt structure remains intact, the brick walls around it are removed. The two crypts to the right of it have not been changed since our last visit.
Taking a look at the concept art above, it appears as though those two crypts will be replaced by the gift shop. In addition to the grounds expansion, there is a rumor that when the Mansion reopens later this year, it will be with changes to the attic and Hitchhiking Ghosts scenes.
Are you looking forward to changes coming to the Haunted Mansion. Let us know in the comments below.

A new Bicoastal Adventures pin inspired by Astro Orbitor (or Astro Orbiter) is now available at Disneyland Resort. These pins celebrate attractions at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort.
Like all Bicoastal Adventures pins, this has a green frame with a blue Disneyland flag, a red Walt Disney World flag, and a Mickey ear hat on top. Goofy is the featured character, dressed in an astronaut spacesuit. He’s attached to a piece that slides back and forth inside the frame, revealing the two different versions of the ride.
The Disneyland version (Astro Orbitor) is on the left, while the Walt Disney World version (Astro Orbiter) is on the right. The slider is gray and reads “Out to launch Astro Orbiter.”
