It is almost impossible to keep track on all the rehabs that happen during a year. One would need to visit the park almost weekly to keep up. However, at this time Disney is working on the following areas.
In Adventureland the Pirates of the Caribbean is closed for a rehab. Not only the attraction itself is closed and boarded off, but also the Blue Lagoon restaurant has closed its doors. One can’t see anything on what is going on inside the attraction or the restaurant but you can see on one of the picture that they are also working on the Blue Lagoon exterior section. Scaffolding is set up at the entrance of the restaurant, in front of the Blue Lagoon sign. Looks like they’ll give the sign a little clean up before welcoming back their guests. The Pirates is expected to re-open on March 15th.
In Fantasyland we can see the next rehab going on. This time of a far smaller proportion then the one mentioned above. Just behind Dumbo, next to Peter Pan and in front of Mickey’s new meet and greet attraction a small area is fenced off. Guest can walk around it in a circle, just like the pattern that can be found on the floor next to the green fences, but the work on the little planting area is hidden behind them.
The next little rehab can again be found in adventureland. One of the little shop, La Girafe Curieuse, has some work done on the exterior walls. Might be a small thing, but it shows that Disney cares about the look of all of their shop, restaurants and buildings.

Some time ago we have reported about different renovation works in Adventureland, including Captain Hook’s Galley. At Christmas it was again possible to see changes at the Galley.
As can be seen on the photo, the scaffoldings are dismantled at the ship’s masts and the interchanging between the masts is also already available.

They have already been working hard at the Colonel Hathi’s Pizza Outpost. A couple of weeks ago it was all still covered in white scaffolding but slowly and surely the scaffolding is being removed to show the result of weeks of hard work. The lower half of the building is still covered up for more rehab, but the top is ready and it looks amazing.
The bright red on the rooftops is vividly showing through the green leaves, the white building shining in beauty with the windows showing some wonderful greens to finish it all of. Even if you’re not planning to eat at this restaurant it is well worth a visit to see the end result of the lengthy rehab. Pick up your camera and takes some snapshots for your Disney picture collection.

There is a lot of work going on in all the lands of the Disneyland park. In Adventureland we can see how the Colonel Hathi’s Pizza outpost is being taken care of. The whole building is covered with scaffolding.
The whole of the outside building is hidden and it looks like it will be for a while. Men are working hard to give the Colonel Hathi’s Pizza Outpost building a complete fresh look. The restaurant itself is open for service!

It looks like captain Hook had some luck in his pirate life. He must have looted another ship, got some gold coins doing so and is now taking the time to get his ship all clean and ready for the next run. Scaffolding is surrounding the boat and men are hard at work to bring the ship back to its former glory. With some of the work already prepared the ship is now showing some holes, let’s hope there will be no tidal wave as water would pour into the ship…

Even so our coverage of the various refurbishment projects currently taking place at the resort in preparation for next year’s 20th anniversary mostly concentrates on the big, high-profile projects (e.g. the current rehab of Orbitron) there are numerous small regurbishments going-on across the resort at any given time. For example right now one of the small bridges of the meandering paths connecting the various outdoor areas of the Cafe de la Brousse in Adventureland has been closed off for one of the smaller refurbishment projects.
UPDATE:
It is as if the small rehab next to the Cafe de la Brousse was set up as a perfect example for us to demonstrate the small & swift rehabs that pop up in the resort and are finished just as fast as they appeared. Where Thursday the rehab was executed the work was already finished and the two pieces of construction fence blocking the access had disappeared by Friday – as seen in the new photo by InsideDLParis.

The refurbishment projects continue to pop up all over the lands of the Disneyland Park. And while the Pinocchio dark ride reopened this weekend from its rehab another attraction in the neighboring Adventureland just got closed for a rehab: La Cabe des Robinson – the tree house of the Robinson Family (inspired by the classic live-action Disney movie). This walk-through attraction normally not only allows guests a close up look at the living quarters which the Robinson Family set up when they got marooned on a deserted island but also offers great views all over Adventureland. During the rehab guests can still enjoy similar views from the highest points of Adventureland Island.
Another refurbishment project in Adventureland also seems to be in the early preparation phase: the replacement of Captain Hook’s Galley that feel into serious disrepair over the last years. The close up of the galley provided by InsideDLParis (and seen on the left) not only shows the sorry state of the ship (with elements nearly falling off allowing guests to look at the core structure not supposed to be visible) but also the water level of the lagoon. As can be seen the water level is way lower than it normally should be, exposing the fundament the ship sits on.
The reduced water level is also clearly discernible at the rock in the middle of the lagoon seen in the photo below. The dark part of the rock usually is above the water line, while the lighter colored section usually is below the water line. As the replacing of the galley has been officially announced (and should already be underway according to the first schedules mentioned by the resort) this reduction in the lagoon’s water level should be the first visible preparation of this process.

With the Magical Moments Festival officially underway the new photo location in Adventureland next to the restaurant Hakuna Matata is coming to live several times daily with the sounds of the African Tam Tams. Or, as the sign announces: the Ryhthms of the Jungle!
While the professional African Tam Tam drummers bring their drums in for each session, the drums used by the young guests are on-site day-round under the small hut constructed opposite of the main photo location starring Kaa and Zazu. This also means: they are free to drum away whenever they want – even so it might be more fun to join in on the professionaly led drum sessions.

The Disney Magical Moment festival for 2011 brought several new photo locations to the Disneyland Park. One of two new locations added to Adventureland is located at the oter walls of the Adventureland Bazar toward the lagoon, right next to the small courtyard, which – in summer months – is used as outdoor seating for the Café Agrabah.
Here a new market stall has been set up in front of which the magical lamp from Disney’s Aladdin is placed atop a cushion. A great photo location. But there is more to this detailed photo location than one might think on first sight …
Guests willing to wait a bit will be treated to a special effect enhancing their photo: Aladdin’s magical lamp actually shoots out some smoke every now and then! Our photo on the right of it in action was taken on the past Easter weekend.
Unfortunately that is only, if the magic lamp is in place. It seems lately the Genie got a bit lazy looking for his home. As the photo on the left by InsideDLParis shows the lamp had disappeared by Friday, April 29. Since the smoke effect can be turned off easily one can only assume that the magic lamp was damaged. We can only hope it will return soon…
UPDATE: By Sunday, May 1st, the Genie must have woken up and sorted out his little problem, as the magic lamp is now back in it’s place and guests once again are able to get their photo taken with his home.

The Sleeping Beauty Castle might be most prominent refurbishment going on right now. But as already reported, there are numerous additional rehabs currently in Fantasyland and certainly the rehab of Walt’s on the Main Street. But that is not the end of the list – and certainly the rehabs are not limited to the Disneyland Park, as the scaffolding at the lake facade of Disney’s Sequoia Lodge shows. Another refurbishment is currently starting just a few meters further up on the shores of Lake Disney. As seen in the photo by InsideDLParis work has started on the light house in front of Disney’s Newport Bay Club – finally, as it has been awaited by fans for a rather long time as the state of it had been detoriating for quite a while now.
There is also a sort of a rehab going on in the Walt Disney Studios Park. As can be seen in the second photo from Friday, April 29, crews have started cleaning the tent structure roofs of Studio 2 and 3 housing Cinemagique and Animagique. While these roof structures are not as obvious as something like the light house on the shores of Lake Disney or Sleeping Beauty Castle in the Disneyland Park they are still visible from inside the Walt Disney Studios Park for all guests and need just the same attention as other buildings.
The final new refurbishment for this report is found inside the Disneyland Park once again, to be more specific inside Adventureland. Here scaffolding has gone up over the last days around Colonel Hathi’s Pizza Outpost.
