Welcome to the all new IN THE PARKS weekly updates.  With this entry we give you an idea of what is going on inside Disneyland Park.  The Matterhorn is still down, but walls could come down any day now.  While on Main Street, the Carnation Cafe is nearing completion and a projected opening date of June 13th.  Finally we look behind the fences at Fantasy Faire Village to see what’s left.  It’s a small Disneyland update but there is more In The Parks goodness and links to the other topics below!

 

We also have a brand new look for our weekly In The Parks column. Rather than bringing you one big long article every week, we are going to be delivering lots of smaller stories which are easier for you to read and share on mobile devices and to your favorite social networks. We’ll still bring you the same amount of content we always have, it will just be much easier to find and share than ever before. We hope you enjoy!

Today we have news from…

The new single seat  bobsleds are red, blue, or teal in body color and look fantastic.

More paint screens have gone up and obscure our view of the progress thus far. there is an impressive amount of copper being used to create the canopy in the outdoor portion of the restaurant. The scheduled opening for this location is June 13th . . . tick tock tick tock, that’s less than a week away. They’d better hurry!
