New promotional artwork for Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway features Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Pluto can also be seen caught up in the tornado along with a picnic basket that seems to be an important element to the storyline!

Walls up near Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree shield some of the construction sight lines into Avengers Campus but not all of them.

Scrims have gone up on the construction behind Luigi’s Rolllicking Roadsters. The artwork printed on the scrims shows what the new building will look like.

Stuntronics!?

New test footage showcases Spider-Man soaring through the air and while Disney didn’t confirm it in their posting, it seems all but certain that the web-slinger is actually a “stuntronics” robotic figure which we’ve seen tested by Disney previously (watch that footage in the link below).

Around Disneyland

20200201_081009

Rope drop continues to be a busy period now at the Disneyland Resort as guests amass to try and get boarding groups for the opening of the RISE OF THE RESISTANCE attraction.

20200201_080903

Tulip time is here!!

20200201_092815

Sleeping Beauty Castle is still missing some of its finial details.

20200201_092801

Construction scaffolding and scrims are visible poking up behind the castle.

20200201_081421

King Arthur Carrousel is in the process of being dismantled for its refurbishment.

20200201_081631

20200201_081756

Photos with the SWORD IN THE STONE are currently unavailable. Coincidentally, the movie also appears to have been removed from Disney+.

20200201_081452

Steady as she goes!

20200201_081827

Signage up on the Carrousel provides some historical context on the opening day original.

20200201_081856 20200201_081911 20200201_081841

20200201_081442

Walls are not just up on the Carrousel but also Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and Snow White’s Scary Adventures.

20200201_081432

Walls don’t completely surround the area but they still take up valuable real estate in this cramped part of the land.

20200201_081438 20200201_081504

The popular princess makeover shop remains open during the refurbishment.

20200201_081654

Artwork on the scrims seems to confirm some changes in paint scheme. Also, although it doesn’t likely mean much, the “Scary Adventures” is removed from the attraction marquee over the entrance in the concept art.

20200201_081605

Instead of a darker more scary tone, it looks like the castle will be painted more to match the one in the SNOW WHITE film with brighter stonework and some red turrets. You can compare the colors in the artwork to how the attraction looked a few weeks ago below.

20200111_084315

20200201_081710

Artwork on the refurb walls teases new scenes coming to the attraction.

20200201_090632

Even Chewbacca needs a boarding group to enter the RISE OF THE RESISTANCE.

20200201_090121

Droid Depot still seems to be packing them in.

20200201_090150

Still absolutely adore the R2 serving bowls. Feel free to send one over my way.

20200201_085521

Tables added outside of Docking Bay 7 increase capacity for the land’s main eatery.

20200201_083609

Sporks are back at Docking Bay 7 but only if you purchase them. They’re a lofty $10.99 each! Yowza!

20200201_082959 20200201_083016

Mobile Order is available at Docking Bay 7 and the sporks ARE available through this service.

20200201_084624

The label on the cloth sheath reads SPORK – Property of Docking Bay 7 which makes light of the fact that when Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge first opened last year, the utensils at the restaurant proved to be quite the pillager’s delight. By the third week of public operation, the location had switched to regular forks and knives following weeks of theft.

20200201_082925

A visit to the refresher is in order before using your newly acquired utensil.

20200201_091243

The Haunted Mansion is also down for an extended refurbishment and its entrance also features concept art and historical details.

20200201_091223

This sign is a fun tribute to the original opening days of the attraction. A similar poster was posted outside prior to the attraction’s opening in the 1960s.

The scrim here features concept art of the attraction.

The Mark Twain remains in dry dock.

20200201_091111 20200201_091519

20200201_092925

The north side of the Tomorrowland entrance looks just about ready for its re-emergence.

20200201_093339

One of the trees in front of Space Mountain (behind the construction walls on the right side of this picture) has been removed.

20200201_093304

With the tree gone, it’s a little easier to see progress on the new stairs.

20200201_093139

20200201_093854

If you’re missing the Disney Holidays, you can still get a taste of them year-round on Main Street!

20200201_100826

Walls are still up in front of Mission Breakout! for the Red Car Trolley track re-route.

20200201_100753 20200201_100811

20200201_101641

Nobody was greeting at the Cozy Cone.

20200201_101945

Cruz Ramirez was out greeting guests near Ramone’s.

20200201_102918

We noticed the colorful new hot food bags a few weeks ago but totally missed the Angry Dogs hot food bags. How cute!

20200201_102922 20200201_102923

20200201_112844

Grizzly River Run is also down for refurbishment. It always seems uncharacteristically high temperatures seem to pair with refurbishment schedules for this attraction with temps in the mid 80s seen this weekend.

20200201_112909

You can still take pics with the bear.

20200201_112920 20200201_112549

The areas in and around the attraction are off limits during the refurbishment.

20200201_112646 20200201_112720 20200201_112744 20200201_112755

20200201_112621

20200201_112856

The signage is using the original 2001 logo.

20200201_112838

Rushin’ River Outfitters is also closed during the refurbishment.

20200201_112810 20200201_112829

It’s not enough space but wouldn’t it be awesome if this were a new Country Bear Playhouse?

20200201_113020

The lookout binoculars are gone leaving just a pole. Wouldn’t it be neat if augmented reality was used on these to add more life to the scenes? Maybe Humphrey Bear sneaking by with one of Donald’s picnic baskets. A hanglider soarin’ over the mountain. Spike the bee flying in and around some flowers.

Around the Resort

20200201_073743

Crowds in the morning continue to run uncharacteristically high with people rushing to get to Disneyland before park opening for RISE OF THE RESISTANCE boarding groups!

20200201_073413

Bring patience if you’re trying to access Disneyland within the hour of its park opening.

20200201_074441

New signage posted up on the carcass of the AMC Theater.

20200201_074451 20200201_074503

20200201_115519

Jamba Juice looks about ready to open its doors!

20200201_072511

Thew new elevator at Mickey and Friends seems about ready to begin operation.

Merch Run

Lunar New Year

20200201_114200

Looks like the AP t-shirt might be the only Lunar New Year merch still available. We didn’t find ANY other merch anywhere else in the park. The kiosk near Ariel’s Undersea Adventure was pushing general 2020 merch.

Space Mountain

20200201_094333

Space Mountain Minnie is looking faboo.

20200201_114012 20200201_114018
