Disney California Adventure Entrance Details

December 22, 2010 By Daniel Hale

From LA Times:

An intense, 16-month construction project designed to transform the Disney California Adventure entryway from a nondescript strip mall into a circa-1920s Los Angeles streetscape will begin in earnest Jan. 4.

As part of an ongoing, $1.1 billion makeover, the sweeping and extensive reimagineering will wall off 4 acres of the main entrance between the C-A-L-I-F-O-R-N-I-A letters, Sunshine Plaza, Grizzly Peak and Hollywood Studios Backlot. The remade entryway, dubbed Buena Vista Street, will be designed to evoke the era when a young Walt Disney first arrived in Los Angeles.

After the winter holiday season ends, construction walls will go up around the iconic C-A-L-I-F-O-R-N-I-A letters Jan. 4 so that crews can turn the plaza area into Streamline Moderne turnstiles modeled after the former Pan-Pacific Auditorium in Los Angeles.

“Disney Channel Rocks!”: DisGeek Review

December 5, 2010 By Daniel Hale

Considering the disaster that is currently known as “Mickey’s Dance Crew”, I approached “Disney Channel Rocks!” (that’s the name, not a personal interjection), with some skepticism. The new show at Disney’s California Adventure opened on November 26th, replacing “High School Musical 3: Senior Year — Right here! Right Now!”, and all I was able to find online were pictures with the news that there was a new show, and a synopsis about what the show was about. Nobody seemed to have an opinion.
