Checking Up on Refurbishment Work at the Disneyland Resort

Visiting Disney California Adventure


Walking down Buena Vista Street


Today the Condor Flats rope drop was pushed all the way back to the airplane.
Most of the time the rope drop is at the entrance to Condor Flats from Buena Vista Street


Grizzly River Run refurbishment


Across from Toy Story Midway Mania, work continues on the west structure




I was hoping that Little Mermaid would have soft opened when I was there. But it was still closed.
After I visited Disneyland, I did come back to check to see if Little Mermaid had opened, but they had it closed.
Apparently, it did open for a soft open in between the two times I came over here.   Not sure if it had reopened after I left.

I just want to apologize that I didn't get pictures this time around of the new enhancements. I should have some pictures by next week's pictorial. Although by then it will be "old" news. ha ha




Good thing the song is called "Freeway of Love" and not "Highway of Love". ha ha
Cause after all, the highway is was killed the town of Radiator Springs



It's been 10 years that Guests have been dropping in on Hollywood History.
Why haven't we received an random drop sequence like Disney Hollywood Studios in Florida?


Doc McStuffins in the house!


Disneyland time


Main Street is relatively crowded

Speaking of Main Street and crowds....

There are some days when the Park is so busy that moving on Main Street U.S.A. can be a hassle with all the foot traffic.  To alleviate the congestion, Disney will open up the back sides of Main Street for Guests flow.  But these back stage areas aren't that pretty and distract from the Disney magic.

But now, after all these years, Disneyland will start constructing themed corridors on the back side of Main Street U.S.A. starting May 12, 2014.  These corridors will move Guests efficiently while still maintaining an onstage show. These corridors should open up sometime in the Fall of 2014.

What will these corridors look like?
Supposedly they will be lined with themed Victorian fencing and themed sound and lighting will give the feel of Main Street.


Because of the construction taking place of the themed corridors, the Main Street Lockers will be unavailable for Guests.
During that time, the only lockers available would be the ones outside the Main Gate and the ones inside Disney California Adventure


Although the lockers will be closed to Guests to store things in, this area will be used as First Aid for Guests.


The lockers will reopen when the corridor is completed


Why are the Main Street Lockers being uses as a First Aid station when they have one at the end of Main Street?


First Aid will actually get remodeled during the construction of the corridors


Looking onto Main Street from First Aid








More Adventureland and Tiki inspired merchandise








Indiana Jones Adventure reopened




New Orleans Square rooftop work




Looking down at the Indian Jones Adventure queue from the Treehouse


















Alice in Wonderland refurbishment










The leaves look as though they are getting a fresh coat of paint














Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is suppose to open at the end of September 2014, but don't be surprised if the refurbishment is extended with a reopening in Oct 2014.


Work continues over at the Subs, but now work can be seen outside in the lagoon once again






















Now only will the East side of Main Street get themed corridors, but the West side should be too.




About to head out


As I stopped in the shade to check something, and that's when I noticed this mom reading a Frozen book to her daughter
