Disney Closes Critter Country

January 26, 2011 By Daniel Hale

From the OC Register:

Disneyland is set to shut down Critter Country for more than a month starting Wednesday (Today).

Crews already began refurbishing Splash Mountain and Hungry Bear Restaurant, two major features in the land in the northwest corner of the park, earlier this month.

Disney decided to close the rest of Critter Country while work is ongoing, said Suzi Brown, a Disneyland Resort spokeswoman. Click on the photo to see Critter Country features and other attractions that are undergoing refurbishments this month.

“Closing the remainder of the land allows us to be more efficient and to perform refresh work that was originally scheduled for later in the year,” Brown said in a statement.

Other parts of Critter Country include The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride and Davy Crockett’s Explorer Canoes, as well as a few shops and food locations. Winnie the Pooh and other characters often greet visitors in Critter Country.

All features, except Splash Mountain, are set to reopen in March, Brown said.

Splash Mountain is scheduled to undergo renovations through May 26.

    I always go to that candy store, Pooh Corner I think it’s called, outside of the Pooh ride. Now I won’t know what to do with myself next time I’m there. :-/
