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

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
11:29

13:03

13:05

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

15:01
walls aplenty not now everything is
15:03
completely open for business
15:06
