More Rehabs

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

As reported yesterday the Suspension Bridge on Adventure Isle has been closed for a major rehab already beginning in the summer season. Earlier this week numerous smaller rehabs suddenly began without interrupting the operation of any attractions. However, since Wednesday four attractions in the Disneyland Park have been closed for rehabs:

  • Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains)
    which is supposed to be closed till October 8,
  • Phantom Manor
    which currently is scheduled to be closed till September 24 only,
  • Le Pays des Contes de FĂ©es
    and finally
  • Casey Jr. - the circus train.

The last two are listed on this week’s entertainment program as closed as of September 1st. Interestingly the corresponding list on the park’s official website has them listed as being closed only from October 4 to October 15. No word whether the closure has been moved up from October or whether the closure has been extended all the way up from October.

Before we forget it: later this month from September 13 till 17 Le Carrousel de Lancelot will be closed for a rehab as well according to the official website. However, as the situation of Casey Jr. and the fairytale canal boats show these plans are always subject to changes. This certainly also applies to the further listed closures of Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast from October 11 till 22 and of it’s a small world from November 8 till 26 – even so the latter can be expected to remain unchanged since it is the annual closure needed for the installation of the special decorations including numerous extra costumes and decorations on the ride for the christmas season.

Little changes …

According to a report of Andrea, who visited the resort earlier this week, the small “Snow White” happening (along the lines of the Mary Poppins event on Twon Square or the Sleeping Beauty event in the Castle Courtyard) that premiered only at the beginning of the Christmas Season received a first small addition.

Snow White on the Castle Stage

Castle StageAfter more than 4 years the Royal Castle Stage next to Sleeping Beauty Castle seems to be set to be finally used for a show again – instead of function as a photo location for Disney Characters (in particular the Disney Princesses). The last show performed on this stage for a longer period of time was the first version of ”Winnie the Pooh and Friends, too” which closed at the end of the summer season 2005. Once its sets had been taken down the stage was sitting barren and empty except for minor elements moved in temporarly for the popular photo opportunities. However, most of the time the stage looked just as on the photo on the righ, taken this summer. BUT – that is about to change … (more…)
