0:03 brand new parking structure coming along
0:03 nicely looks as if they have added some
0:05 escalator platforms where the new bridge
0:09 will be that leads from the parking area
0:11 to Downtown Disney they're gonna need
0:15 all those extra spaces with galaxies
0:19 edge you've heard of the backside of
0:20 water this is the back side of Star Wars
0:23 land opening this summer the clock is
0:27 ticking speaking of walkways the current
0:32 structure is going to be connected to
0:34 the new one by a walkway as well going
0:37 from the old one you see on the right
0:39 the newly formed one here on the left
0:45 nice it's very futuristic looking in a
0:49 lot of ways isn't it welcome everyone
0:51 atoms of whoo here
0:53 early last year I started a series where
0:54 I just peruse around the Disneyland
0:57 Resort starting at the structure making
0:59 my way to Downtown Disney DCA and then
1:01 eventually into Disneyland just to see
1:04 the updates the changes and the
1:06 construction that is happening on site
1:09 this addition is January 2019 the first
1:13 of the new year let's see what's
1:15 happening join me
1:16 shall you and to have a feeling there's
1:19 gonna be a lot to document on this
1:20 particular once a month update because
1:23 post holidays is when they really get
1:25 down to business
1:35 but we mix it up a little today and
1:35 start first at Walt's original Magic
1:37 Kingdom before heading into other areas
1:39 of the property so prepare to leave
1:43 today and enter the world of yesterday
1:44 tomorrow and fantasy and not just that
1:48 evidently but also walls lots and lots
1:53 of walls one of them being directly in
1:56 front of City Hall just just moderately
2:00 blocking the view and also in front of
2:02 the Emporium but fret not the store is
2:04 open once the Christmas tree comes down
2:06 the renovations begin
2:34 Wow take a look at that sleeping beauty
2:38 castle has been completely covered in a
2:41 very decorative fence
2:47 it's going to be up for quite some time
2:49 I believe it's creating a little bit of
2:51 confusion with part guests but without
2:53 progress there never can be change as
2:57 with all of Disneyland great care is
2:59 taken to lovingly renovate and restore
3:01 the castle and its surroundings on a
3:03 regular basis this is a sign place here
3:07 in front of these very large doors
3:09 leading into the construction some added
3:12 details are these lamps to look like
3:15 flames almost like fire most likely at
3:18 night they are illuminated just to give
3:21 a little bit of ambiance and then if you
3:24 follow it around the side there is a
3:27 decorative tarp set up for even more
3:29 theming now to get to Fantasyland you
3:32 must use Big Thunder trail or the parade
3:35 route along the Matterhorn that's going
3:37 to take a little getting used to but
3:39 when it's all said and done it's going
3:42 to be impressive
3:44 most impressive
3:54 had a horse just video bobbed me if you
3:57 attempt to take the route around the
3:58 castle on the side next to the Wishing
4:01 Well you will notice there's not quite
4:03 as much theming in this particular area
4:06 it's also a dead end you cannot go
4:09 around the castle from this angle either
4:13 and since this area is blocked off it
4:15 makes for a very peaceful experience
4:17 back here like no one over in this
4:20 little corner which gives anyone that so
4:22 chooses a little one-on-one time with
4:24 the wishing well which to be honest does
4:27 not happen too often you must embrace it
4:30 embrace it the ducks don't seem to mind
4:33 they're having a ball with all this
4:34 extra room over here oh they're for to
4:37 be doing let's stop hiding over there
4:39 guys come on guys calm down our land
4:42 also has a little action going on even
4:44 from this distance it's pretty obvious
4:46 today's Astro orbiter was relaunched in
4:49 1998 shaped by the futuristic vision of
4:53 Jules Verne
4:57 sorry kid departing flights will resume
5:00 spring 2019 standing here makes me
5:03 wonder when are they finally gonna get
5:05 rid of the People Mover track directly
5:07 above my head wonder if that's up next
5:10 over in the former Captain EO theater in
5:13 front of space mouth and as a pop-up
5:14 sneak peek Ralph breaks the Internet
5:17 it'd be nice if one day they brought
5:18 back Captain EO as a pop-up we can dream
5:22 can't wait after all the hectic seasonal
5:25 overlays the stage of Tomorrowland
5:26 Terrace is semi back to normal always
5:30 like the stage how it goes up and down
5:32 out of the ground the performers are
5:34 down below the depths of Disneyland
5:36 literally just pop up and entertain the
5:39 masses you'll also notice the monorail
5:41 has been overlaid with Mickey
5:43 celebrating his 90th birthday
6:12 there goes the monorail some concrete
6:12 work being done right out here to have
6:14 it all blocked off and another little
6:16 patch right over here hand yet another
6:18 one right here in this section oh no
6:20 they're going in they're going in don't
6:22 go in there don't never go into a
6:23 whale's mouth of view from the fantasy
6:25 land side of the castle
6:28 lots goings on back there almost like a
6:32 maze of sorts a little corridor leading
6:35 over into that gift shop to the far left
6:38 that's as far as you can go you cannot
6:40 walk up sir can I go they can't go that
6:43 way
6:43 for now it is a little confusing to
6:45 figure out your way around but in due
6:48 time you'll get the hang of it
6:52 goodnight
6:58 everyone congregating down there next to
7:01 the Star Wars land galaxies edge coming
7:04 soon sign this thoroughfare is
7:07 completely blocked off it is a dead end
7:10 but in about half a year it will be
7:13 totally opposite and accessible
7:32 as time goes on it's really hard to
7:35 differentiate where rivers of America
7:38 ends and galaxy's edge begins check that
7:44 out
8:08 oh yes original style haunted mansion is
8:08 back Jack Skellington has left the
8:12 building
8:55 and with that gonna head over to DCA and
8:55 see what kind of changes are happening
8:57 over there you don't have to worry about
9:01 getting too wet on grizzly River Run and
9:03 the rapids are dried up so you know not
9:06 to worry about getting too soaked States
9:08 Park beautification project now underway
9:11 and there is a very large fence placed
9:14 here almost unnoticeable is this scrim
9:17 off to the right because most people pay
9:18 attention to that big bear here on the
9:20 left
9:21 I've written this quite a few times in
9:23 the past and I must say you get a little
9:25 moist once you board those drafts just a
9:28 little tiny bit even down towards a
9:31 smoking area is an ngon exit at this
9:33 point the golden Zephyr is looking very
9:36 beautiful careening through the skyline
9:39 while still up in the inside out area
9:42 underneath the in Credit coaster it
9:44 doesn't look like much progress having
9:46 over in this section but there does
9:48 however appear to be some progress off
9:50 the carousel that's coming along nicely
9:52 there it goes there it goes hold on
9:55 tight blast off
9:58 in Credit coaster style Wow check this I
10:01 don't think I've ever seen this little
10:03 area all dried up like this the seagulls
10:07 are having a field day down there on the
10:09 dry land here's the reverse angle with
10:12 Paradise Pier in the background and the
10:13 fun wheel off in the distance
10:15 even the fish photo-op is obstructed by
10:18 a little bit of scrim
10:30 still no access to the former bugs land
10:30 from this direction
10:31 lots of walls but no more bugs later
10:34 it's gonna be very exciting when all
10:36 this is completed very very exciting the
10:39 partitions seem to go on pretty much
10:42 forever got to admit it's kind of weird
10:44 not seeing a roaring waterfall behind me
10:47 here new photo op added to the blue wall
10:49 this time
10:50 MARY POPPINS returns a kite not too much
10:53 happening over at the sunset showcase

11:05 while at DCA went ahead and booked a
11:07 Fastpass for it as I figured heck it
11:10 back to its old-school rendition I
11:13 cannot depart without at least riding
11:16 through its halls being scared to death
11:21 on the Haunted Mansion nah Nightmare
11:26 Before Christmas edition

13:05 oh yeah that's a that's a good shot they

14:06 destroyed Mickey
14:34 the photo-op teacup has been removed and
14:34 they have continued by welding a little
14:38 bit more of the metal fence line so you
14:39 can't step up to where it once was
14:41 that's weird
14:42 that's a lot of birds flying overhead
14:45 look at this whole flock of birds as the
14:50 crows make their noises and circle
14:53 around the train station when I head out
14:55 and walk through Downtown Disney heading
14:57 back to the parking structure last time
14:59 I walked through this section there were
15:01 walls aplenty not now everything is
15:03 completely open for business
15:06 second Starbucks location has reopened

15:11 closed for a while but now it's back on
