Earlier this year the Café de la Brousse, a counter service location in African style huts offering only partialy covered outdoor seating along the shores of the lagoon in Adventureland, underwent an extensive rehab including a paint job and a new thatched roof – only to remain closed when the visible work was done. However, the past week saw the location finally open again!
Surprisingly the menu was kept pretty much unchanged even so the Café de la Brousse is now being presented by Dole (according to its own statement the world’s largest producer and marketer of fresh fruits and vegetables), i.e. mostly Hot Dogs, pre-packaged ice cream, soft drinks and some desserts.

… at the Disney Blockbuster Café in the Walt Disney Studios Park. Guests expected the restaurant to open its second themed area (after the High School Musical area has been open for several weeks already) as various official guides started referring to both themes as of last week. However, as of Saturday the Pirates of the Carribean themed seating area was still blocked off and work clearly not finished. But before we get to that just a short note, that the High School Musical themed main area has received some additional decoration elements as well, including another banner right above the main access to the counter area congratulating the Wildcats on their back-to-back championships.
The latest pictures show off the new backdrop added to the rear of the raised seating area, in front of the large windows looking out toward the Armaggedon attraction (as mentioned in our most recent report about the project progress). Note that there are three lamps attached to it, one on each side and one at the center top. Also the glass in the wooden frame-like structure is assembled out of rectangualr pieces in two different colors. In the meantime additional decoration elements have been added as well (more…)

Three of the resort’s ongoing construction / rehab projects have finally been finished nearly half-way through the summer season in the past days. In the Disneyland Park the scaffolding has come down around the Plaza Gardens Restaurant, giving guests of the buffet restaurant once again the opportunity to look out on the gardens during the meal while guests walking around Central Plaza can see the sun reflecting in the shiny shingles of the once again all pretty facade. Also finished is the rehab of the columns along the facade of the Annual Passport office just a few meters further up at the border between Discoveryland and Fantasyland.
The third finished project can be found in the Walt Disney Studios Park, where the small structure added in front of the Disney Channel building has been revealed as another merchandise kiosk offeriing a small assortment of products, including High School Musical themed items, such as Mickey and Minnie plush in East High basketball respectively cheerleader outfits. The new kiosk seems to reflect the new color scheme that the current rehab is adding to the Disney Channel building. The yellowish color is still the main color, but in addition to the blue / green accents (in the cas eof th kiosk in the form of neon lights) also red art deco accents have been added.

… are supposed to be right at home at the Disney Blockbuster Café in the Walt Disney Studios Park once the transformation of the former “Backlot Express Restaurant” is finished. In another visible progress the “Café” signage part of the restaurant’s name was added to the facade above the main entrance in the past days. As in the past, while “Disney Blockbuster” is painted directly on the wall, the “Café” element is actually a 3D-element that (supposedly) should be illuminated at night. But what about the interior?

Just a little heads up from the ongoing rehab of the Disney Channel Studio building in the Walt Disney Studios Park. As reported the whole building, housing “Stitch Live!”, the new “Playhouse Disney” stage show as well the actual offices of the Disney Channel France, is covered in scaffolding on the sides facing the theme park. First glimpses of the work going on on the top levels indicate that not only is the facade going to be repainted but with a different color scheme! Originally the yellowish color was combined with green and blue accents but the latter seem to be (at least partially) replaced with a red color. Also the small kiosk under construction in front of the building is already showcasing this new, warmer color scheme.

There is always something new at the Disneyland Resort Paris … however, some of the surprises are not really ment to attract guests … one of those is the maybe biggest surprise of this summer season … despite it being July, the Dis
neyland Park having extended operating hours and it supposedly being the busiest time of the year there are several highly visible in two cases even the guest flow impeding construction / rehab projects going on in the Disneyland Park. On this scale a true first at the Disneyland Resort Paris, which usually made sure that all major, highly visible cosntruction projects related to renovating or rehabing were done prior to high season.

The world wide smash hit franchise “High School Musical” is already present at the Walt Disney Studios for the past three years with the various shows performed during the summer half-year. 
However, now a year round option for fans is prepared: as reported earlier the former Backlot Express Restaurant has been emptied of all movie props on display so far and is transferred into a restaurant featuring a “High School Musical” themed area and a “Pirates of the Caribbean” themed area – and the transformation is progressing with large steps.

… for the summer season does not only mean, that the entertainment department is busy with the final preparations, gardening crews are bustling even more busy than normally and the final attraction closures for last minute rehabs are organized. In addition there are numerous smaller (and not so small) rehabs and construction projects in particular spread over the Disneyland Park to sprouce up everything.
In Adventureland the rehab of the Café de la Brousse, we reported earlier this week, has now been joint by a (more…)

The crews are rushing to finish the last scheduled rehabs inside the Disneyland Park (and also to a lesser extent in the Walt Disney Studios) before the official summer season commences in a couple of weeks. Currently the outdoor playground “La Plage des Pirates” in Adventureland is undergoing a sproucing up (till June 19) while the “Robinson Tree House” next door undergoes a major “all around” rehab since Monday and till June 26th (the first such extensive rehab for the popular walk through attraction). For the same time window the Flying Carpets over Agrabah (in the Walt Disney Studios Park) are also closed. Alice’s Curious Labyrinth which already underwent several smaller rehabs has three more scheduled for June 22nd to 26th and 29th to 30th as well as July 1st till 3rd, basically being reopened for the weekends - however, guests should note that even if open during the date of their visit, the labyrinth since this spring has limited operational hours, i.e. opens after the park and closes in early afternoon. But attractions aren’t the only objects of rehabs in the final weeks of spring… (more…)
