Disneyland‘s Fantasy Faire continues to get its finishing touches applied as it approaches its grand opening in early March. The new princess meet-and-greet area will provide a much-needed home for several of Disneyland’s popular princess characters, but how will the expansion of Fantasyland alter the landscape of Disneyland’s turn of the 20th century-styled Central Plaza? Meanwhile, refurbishments in both parks continue to progress and wrap up as the parks prepare for the busy spring break season. And Disney’s Limited Time Magic promotion continued last week with a special week-long tribute to Presidents’ Day by the Voices of Liberty in the Main Street Opera House.

Walls have gone up around the entrance to Refreshment Corner’s outdoor patio, likely to prepare for the reinstallation of the archway that was removed back at the end of last August.

Limited Time Magic

Last week, Disneyland’s Voices of Liberty performed a special Presidents’ Day version of their patriotic a cappella show at the Main Street Opera House.

Only a small addition to the Voices of Liberty poster outside of the Opera House indicated the special Limited Time Magic offering.

Touring a New Kingdom

On Friday, we spotted Disneyland Resort’s new president Michael Colglazier touring Fantasyland with Tom Fitzgerald, executive vice president of Walt Disney Imagineering.
fantasy faire, Fantasy Faire gets finishing touches as Voices of Liberty celebrate Presidents’ Day

We spotted the two taking a look at various Fantasyland landmarks including the Matterhorn Bobsleds and “it’s a small world”
fantasy faire, Fantasy Faire gets finishing touches as Voices of Liberty celebrate Presidents’ Day

The two ended their jaunt through Fantasyland with a ride on Alice in Wonderland, hopefully discussing a solution for the ride’s outdoor portion, which has been covered in temporary safety scaffolding since July 2010.
fantasy faire, Fantasy Faire gets finishing touches as Voices of Liberty celebrate Presidents’ Day

fantasy faire, Fantasy Faire gets finishing touches as Voices of Liberty celebrate Presidents’ Day

Here’s hoping a permanent fix comes soon for Alice. It’s been nearly three years since the temporary scaffolding went up. Hopefully we don’t continue to see temporary fixes like those Colglazier oversaw at his previous home park, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, with the Tree of Life nets and continued issues with Expedition Everest’s yeti.

Welcome to California Adventure

At California Adventure, the Glendale-Hyperion Bridge on Buena Vista Street is sporting what appears to be its final take on a series of recent repaints.
fantasy faire, Fantasy Faire gets finishing touches as Voices of Liberty celebrate Presidents’ Day

For the most part, the bridge looks about the same as it did when Buena Vista Street first opened just last summer. The bridge now features some white accents, contrasting with the beige that covers the rest of the structure.
fantasy faire, Fantasy Faire gets finishing touches as Voices of Liberty celebrate Presidents’ Day

Looks like the previous mottled reddish-brown color is functioning as an undercoat to give the bridge a bit more depth? It seems like a lot of trouble for not much of a difference.
fantasy faire, Fantasy Faire gets finishing touches as Voices of Liberty celebrate Presidents’ Day

The white accents are a little distracting
fantasy faire, Fantasy Faire gets finishing touches as Voices of Liberty celebrate Presidents’ Day

Meanwhile, California Adventure’s off-season continues with a couple of on-going refurbishments. On Paradise Pier, the Silly Symphony Swings are still dismantled.

This and That

New paper foodservice products are slowly being rolled out. Popcorn boxes and coffee cups are now sporting a new design.

We spotted these great location-specific plastic souvenir cups at the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor on Main Street. A Cast Member said they’ve had them for a while now, so they aren’t new, but I thought they were worth pointing out.
fantasy faire, Fantasy Faire gets finishing touches as Voices of Liberty celebrate Presidents’ Day

It’s great to see a souvenir cup that’s location-specific and isn’t covered with character designs. Now, if only they had glass versions available — they’d be great for entertaining with at home!
fantasy faire, Fantasy Faire gets finishing touches as Voices of Liberty celebrate Presidents’ Day

In New Orleans Square, a fantastic new line of Haunted Mansion merchandise is slowly being rolled out at the Port Royal shop. I hear more of this great line is on its way and I’m excited. It’s fantastic to see new nicely-designed attraction-specific merchandise in the parks! A great four-piece coaster set:
