Time seems to be slowing down for those of us waiting for Disneyland to reopen. The hopeful July reopening was pushed back and then, even as other businesses began reopening again in limited capacity, Disneyland and other SoCal theme parks remained mostly closed. It’s been a painful wait . . . but it appears not for too much longer. Today, we’ll take a look at the good news which may be rolling your way “very, very soon,” and the new things Disneyland has done in the last week to get ready for you. We’ll also show you a takeover from the edge of the galaxy in Downtown Disney, look forward to some Halloween activities, and enjoy some absolutely beautiful photos in our “Zen Disneyland” section. It’s been a rough year so far, let’s enjoy the quiet before the storm.

Disneyland Reopening “Coming Soon”

It has been just over six months since Disneyland suddenly closed, setting off a chain reaction throughout the theme park industry. And while our beloved parks remain shuttered, Disney management is hard at work applying pressure at the state level to get the parks reopened. Those gates won’t remain closed forever, and according to our sources, a new deal with California’s Governor may make the operation of the parks a reality again before you can say . . . Jiminy Cricket. 

How Soon is Soon?

Two weeks ago, Governor Gavin Newsom mentioned that good progress had been made on theme park reopening guidance. But after the successful reopening of most of Disney’s parks around the world, the company has become tired of waiting. Disneyland President Ken Potrock blasted the state in a public statement, saying: 

“We are disappointed with the state’s lack of progress in providing the industry with guidance and clarity on reopening. We have proven we can operate responsibly, with strict health and safety protocols at our properties around the world and at Downtown Disney in Anaheim.”

The cities of Anaheim, Buena Park, and Garden Grove (all near Disneyland) have also called upon the state to reopen theme parks because the hotels, restaurants and other businesses that depend on tourism in their cities are on the verge of financial collapse. It’s already too late for many businesses and their former workers. 

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

The Governor seemed to respond to all of the concerns from entertainment operators with a statement on Wednesday that theme park guidelines would be coming “very, very soon.” However, while positive, he wasn’t ready to make the announcement regarding theme parks just yet. We were told to watch the governor’s noon press briefing on Friday, but it never happened. 

Since then, we have received word from reliable sources that an agreement has been reached between theme park operators and the state. The state should be set to release guidance early this week. We expect Disney to act swiftly and there are many indications that they are already ramping up their reopening procedures. 

While the park has essentially been ready to reopen since July 17th, lots of new things suddenly popped up late last week. On Friday, Disney’s most senior executives made a trip to Anaheim. Disney CEO Bob Chapek, Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro, and Disneyland President Ken Potrock, among others, were all spotted touring Disneyland and DCA. Various hotels in the Resort district have also received an invitation to a conference call with Josh D’Amaro for tomorrow morning at 10am (Tuesday the 22nd). 

Tram Walking Route 

We now know that the parks will open without parking trams. A new walking path from the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure to the parks has been prepared for guests.  The tram route has been retrofitted as a walking path with benches, trash cans, safety signs, directions, and security towers. 

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”
Social Distancing signage is now visible on the tram route.

From above, we can see benches and trash cans along the route. They’ll be needed, as that’s a long walk for many folks. 

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon” , Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

A-frame signs remind guests to be safe and follow procedures. 

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

We believe that Disney will implement one-way traffic on the route. Likely directing guests from the structure to the parks along the tram route, and then have them walk through Downtown Disney and the new bridge at Magic Way to get back to their cars. Though, it is possible that the route could be reversed in the evenings to prevent overcrowding of Downtown Disney.  

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

One of the parking lot telescoping security towers (in the lowered position below) has been moved to the tram route to help keep an eye on guests.

Buena Vista Street Ready 

Meanwhile, it appears that Buena Vista Street was staged with more hand sanitation stations, outdoor sinks, and directional signage in stores. We can get a glimpse of the progress from the front gate. We took these photos Friday afternoon as the corporate visitors were leaving: 

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”
It’s still like the Twilight Zone to see the parks completely empty on a Friday evening.

At Five & Dime, an “Enter Here” sign and two hand sanitizers have been placed near the park entrance.  Like World of Disney, it appears they will have one main entry so they can track capacity.  

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon” , Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

More signs are going up in a hurry. They’ve had months to do this, but all of the sudden . . . 

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

Orange tape is on the posts which will soon get the signs.  

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

We showed you the new plexiglass dividers at the turnstiles recently, but here’s a different angle for you so you can see how the boxes work.

Disneyland Construction Updates

Jumping across the Esplanade, there is a bit of progress to show you. 

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”
Although you are able to get right up to the gates at California Adventure, there’s a large security perimeter around Disneyland.

You can see the shimmer of plexiglass at the front gate. While we are too far here for you to get a clear look at the boxes around the turnstiles, they are the same as the ones over at DCA we showed you above. 

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

Each set of turnstiles has an automatic hand sanitation station as you enter the park. 

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

And just to the West side of the entry, we can see that the scaffolds have been removed from the top of the Emporium on Main Street. They’ll easily be able to get this wrapped up before the park reopens.  

Emporium

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

Just last week the tower still had scaffolds all the way to the top. 

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

But there’s still a bit of a mess at ground level that needs to be completed and cleaned up. 

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway

Meanwhile, at the back of the park, there’s lots of work in and near Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. That open gate you see in the lower right corner leads directly into the construction zone for Mickey’s big new ride.  

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

In just two weeks, this attraction has gone from dirt lot to 3 story construction. 

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon” , Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

Although these are evening shots, you can see how smoky the air still is in the area. Orange County has had moderate to unhealthful air all week due to fires in the LA region and temperatures over 90º.

Disneyland Hotels Now Booking October 16th

Disneyland’s three hotels have pushed their potential reopening date from the beginning of October to October 16th. All reservations booked before this date can be rescheduled or canceled with no change fee. Please keep in mind that when Disneyland was planning to reopen in July, the hotels were scheduled to open two weeks later. So the potential reopening date of the hotels does not necessarily reflect Disney’s target on reopening the parks. That could come sooner. But, then again, Disney has been pushing these dates out two or three weeks at a time since April. Though, this could very well be the last extension given the recent change in tone at the state level.

Downtown Disney Updates

It’s been an unbelievable success for Disney, visitors continue to flock to Downtown Disney throughout the week, with the weekends a madhouse of trying to find parking, waiting in long lines to get in, and then long virtual queues to see anything once you are inside. Here are some of the updates from around the shopping and dining district.

Parking Woes

It is now a common occurrence for the Disneyland Twitter account to warn potential guests that the parking lot may pause parking to maintain social distancing. 

And what happens when parking is paused? Hundreds of guests start circling the resort in a sort of mobile musical chairs hoping by the time they loop around again, a few cars will be let in. 

In an update to the Downtown Disney “Know Before You Go” page, they’ve released new guidance regarding the parking situation. Boiled down, the advice is “you’re straight out of luck if we’re full!” Disney recommends to keep driving around the resort area until parking has resumed. The problem with that advice is two-fold. First, the signage posted around the resort area is limited at best, which doesn’t accurately reflect when parking is available again. Secondly, when parking is paused, the queue of cars waiting to get in are waved through the intersection and told to return later, effectively losing your place in line while others behind you could enter before you’re able to circle back and reenter the queue— potentially facing the same situation as before. That said, if you’ve got a dining reservation, you’ll be allowed entry once you speak to the parking attendant, even if parking has been paused.

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”
Updated parking guidelines for Downtown Disney

To mitigate the troublesome parking situation, some of the local hotels in the resort district have started offering public parking for a fee. That’s how we visited Downtown Disney and it was so much easier and faster than dealing with getting into the Simba parking lot. 

An Exclusive Shopping Event without Exclusive Merchandise

Last week, Disneyland once again offered an extremely limited-reservation shopping experience that was subtly announced through the Disneyland AP social pages. As expected, the event’s reservations sold out within moments. We were luckily able to score a reservation to the opening day for what appeared to be a Haunted Mansion-themed shopping event (based on the two items posted from the social media announcement). We also thought the items would be exclusive to the event. Oh man, were we wrong…

The event featured five items, and only one item (a pin featuring Fidget from The Great Mouse Detective, allegedly created for Bats Day) was exclusive to the event. Here’s what was available from the merchandise event from the MiceChat Instagram story. 

To say we were disappointed was an understatement. Nothing quite like standing in a long line in 90º heat for a chance to buy items that you later find in the stores . . . or on sale at Hot Topic (in the case of the Funko Pop). We would much rather that they just put all the items online for sale and let folks just come pick them up later. Unnecessarily creating lines and taking payments in person is the exact opposite of the safety procedures that Disney keeps talking about in all of their statements about how they are trying to keep you safe. 

For a more detailed look into the event and our thoughts about it all, take a look at the article below.

First Look At Today’s Haunted Downtown Disney Shopping Event

 

Galaxy’s Edge Takes Over WonderGround Gallery

One of the most controversial moments last week involved the WonderGround Gallery. Overnight, the gallery transformed from a spot that featured Disney-inspired artwork created by independent artists, to a location that sells merchandise formerly found in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The change happened quietly— with no advance notice— but appears to be temporary (especially since the Star Wars overlay features patchwork tarps draped over existing signage and video monitors). Here’s a quick overview of the “new” store.

The WonderGround Gallery sign has simply been covered with disheveled tarps like you’d see in Galaxy’s Edge. There’s a small sign with the store’s title just outside the doors.

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”
Strangely, there’s nothing hanging in the dramatically oversized windows. It’d be the perfect spot for banners displaying the factions in the land.

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

When we visited the Star Wars Trading Post, it had implemented a virtual waitlist, like World of Disney and Marceline’s. It took about 20 minutes for us to get a text saying we could return. World of Disney’s virtual queue had a 60-minute wait at the same time. 

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

For the most part, the store is pretty well spaced out. There are designated sections for the various merchandise, not unlike what you’d expect to see at Galaxy’s Edge.

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

Toys, plush, artwork, clothing, and lightsabers. 

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon” , Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

Here’s a video overview of the store. Please excuse the vertical format as this was filmed for Instagram.

Around the store, you’ll find much of the merchandise that filled the various shops and stalls at Galaxy’s Edge. You can purchase all of the exotic creatures, toys, and one particularly cute plush: The Child.

While The Child plush isn’t technically new, since it debuted out at Walt Disney World, it’s the first time it has been seen at Disneyland. He’s very cute.

The walls of the space are used to hang some of the collectibles from the land. For the moment, it’s all artwork and props that could be purchased in the land before the shutdown; there’s no independent artists’ Star Wars-inspired works here.

And of course, you can’t have a Star Wars-themed store without a selection of lightsabers. There are several displays with hilts available for purchase. At this time, only the pre-built Legacy Lightsabers from iconic Star Wars characters are available, though the two different blade lengths can be purchased.

Ventress Legacy saber. This lightsaber can actually connect to a second one to create a double-bladed lightsaber… but be prepared to spend a pretty penny because these babies ain’t cheap!

And speaking of lightsabers, the popular Kyber crystals used to change the color of custom-built sabers from Savi’s Workshop are also available. The red ones are pre-packaged in a box 

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

We’re not exactly crazy about the Star Wars overlay, but we understand why it happened. Every time that we’ve visited Downtown Disney since it reopened in July, we were always able to just walk right into WonderGround without any wait. Now, people are jumping at the chance to purchase Star Wars items. For more about the Star Wars Trading Outpost, take a look at the article below.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Takes Over Wonderground Gallery at Downtown Disney

 

While the majority of the items sold at the Trading Post were previously available in Star Wars land, there’s a new Legacy Lightsaber on the way to shopDisney, Downtown Disney and Disney Springs at Walt Disney World. The catch is you’re only able to choose one; fans are asked to vote for the one they’d like to see most. At the moment, it looks like Cal Kestis (the playable character from Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order) is in the lead, but the poll remains open through October 1.

Delicious Tidings: The Return of Sprinkles and Seasonal Ice Cream

The same day we visited the merchandise event, Sprinkles Cupcakes reopened. It was the last major storefront to reopen in Downtown Disney, it’s been a long 2-month wait. In order to promote a safer experience, the ordering process has changed.

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

Instead of the usual process of queuing up inside, the queue is entirely outdoors and the order is placed with an employee behind a plexiglass screen. Alternately, guests are encouraged to order through the Sprinkles mobile app when possible for quicker service so you can pre-pay and have your cupcakes waiting for you to pick up.

Across the way at Salt & Straw, their new seasonal flavors arrived on the same day. This month, it’s all about apples. You can see the descriptions for the flavors below. Just reading the flavors is making me crave ice cream…

Mini Merchandise Update

There weren’t many new items that we saw in the Disney stores this week. Although, we did see there’s a new Coco-inspired frock at The Dress Shop celebrating Dia de los Muertos.

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”
The Sugar Skull bag is also new

, Disneyland Update – How Soon is “Very, Very Soon”

There’s also a new Hades Spirit Jersey that’s available now. It was teased last month, and has now found its way to Downtown Disney. It’s a fun homage to the character and definitely a throwback to the 90s with the flame motif.

While The Dress Shop isn’t nearly as decked out for Halloween compared to the World of Disney, it’s nice they’ve included a few decorative accents around the store.

“Not the greatest photo technologically but this is where I go to relax. The Animation building in DCA is a hidden gem to many. First of all you can get out of the heat or rain and they have couches you can sit on. Next is you get to watch lots of cute Disney clips all around you. Lastly is two great attraction in here that allow you to sit and relax. Turtle Talk with Crush is a cute interaction between him and the audience. My favorite though is the Animation Academy in which I have done the Disney character drawing 248 times since 2005.” – George
