Disney’s California Adventure Renovation Update

As you may have heard, Disney is investing over $1 billion to improve its California Adventure theme park in Anaheim.  They’ll be adding new rides and shows and improving the rides they already have.  A detailed project tracker for all of the changes can be found at MiceChat, a popular Disney chatroom.  If you’re a Disney fan, be sure to check out MiceChat.com.

The changes include:

  • A new Little Mermaid Ride
  • Adding a new land, Carsland, which will be themed on their hit movie, “Cars”
  • Retheming the Paradise Pier area and adding a parachute-type ride
  • A new “World of Color” watershow in the big lagoon
  • Adding a beer garden area

On Monday, the “Blue Sky Cellar” will be opening in California Adventure.  The Blue Sky Cellar will provide sneak previews, including scale models and concept art, for the upcoming changes.

The following pictures show the new Blue Sky Cellar and some of the models and concept art you can view for yourself.  In addition, if you’re an annual passholder, you can get a sneak preview of the Blue Sky Cellar this weekend, before it’s opened to the general public.

More California Adventure Renovation Information

Since it’s been such a popular topic, I’ve dug up some additional information on the upcoming Disney’s California Adventure renovation project.

The LA Times posted a map of what the park will look like when the renovation is completed:

And Master Gracey has created a detailed project tracker that lists the various renovation projects, along with their current status and estimated completion date. Check that out at MiceChat.com HERE. It’s a great place to go if you’re interested. It also has links to concept art, photos, and additional news stories.
