NEW LOOK! NEW POST! Disney Califor..err...Construction Adventure.

Hey All!  Now I know its been a week or so since my last update but I have had to catch up on a few things at work and had no time for the blog. Now I have time and I have not alot of info to share, but info nonetheless


As all of you know Disney California Adventure park is in the middle(literally 1/2 way done) with its massive 1.2 Billion dollar expansion.  Just recently Sunshine Plaza entered Yesterland. Current plan with Buena Vista Street is( as you all know) to do it in 4 sections. First of course as you can see is Carthay Circle Theater and Walt Disney Plaza area. Then come January the C-A-L-I-F-O-R-N-I-A letters will also enter Yesterland and thats when the true operational headaches start. So as they close current turnstiles in January as well as the California letter, they will open temporary turnstiles(which location is still to be determined). They will work very quickly on the new turnstiles, as they want to have them done by the middle of summer season during its peak period. Then they will start on the stores and restaurants, which is supposed to start in Spring 2011 for a grand opening of June 2012. So all of Buena Vista Street will be complete June 2012, but sections will open up along the way. And expect a fantastic new daytime parade in 2012 as well, which is shaping up to be one of the most innovative parades Disney has ever done. More on that in the weeks to come.


On the other side of the park, is the location of one of the most popular shows in Disney history. I am speaking of World of Color of course. Which as of a couple weeks ago, has been seen my more than 1 million guests. The new addition, TRONcore, opened to rave reviews from the online community and guests in the parks. This is not the only addition planned for this nighttime spectacular. Expect the Pirates section of the show to be removed and replaced with something new come next May, so that Pirates of the Caribbean will become a new Encore promoting Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides. The long rumored Halloween overlay and Holiday overlay is gaining quite a bit of momentum. There may still be a possibility of adding late this holiday season some sort of Christmas themed Encore to replace the exit music. But that is a very slim chance at this point. Expect a very grand 20+ minutes Halloween World of Color in 2011, and a remake of a Disney California Adventure original, LuminAria. LuminAria has beautiful music and will be used once again come Holiday season 2011. 


Thanks all, but that is all I have to share. Have a Magical Day!
