Back at Disneyland, the main entrance turnstiles continue their rolling refurbishment with the section that was behind tarps last week now uncovered and looking fresh and shiny.

The facade refurbishment at the Chester Drawer’s and Castle Bros. has wrapped up and it all looks shiny and new again.

Too bad this groan-worthy shop name wasn’t changed.

This silly 90s-era sign is still here.

The Castle Bros. sign isn’t back up yet…

[center]Finishing Up the French Quarter[/center]
Back in New Orleans Square, we keep being told to wait and see as Disney is reportedly still working on finishing up work on the major changes to the facades following the Club 33 expansion project. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like much else is being done to help the poorly reworked facades better blend in with what was Disneyland’s most exquisitely-themed land.
Haunted Mansion, Disneyland celebrates Haunted Mansion’s 45th Anniversary with new art and collectibles

Nothing has changed here and at this point, what could really be done to help this off-center and oversized window look appropriate on the forced-perspective building?
Haunted Mansion, Disneyland celebrates Haunted Mansion’s 45th Anniversary with new art and collectibles

No changes at the new bridge, which still seems severely lacking in the rich, authentic detail that characterized the original New Orleans Square.

Walls have come down at the side entrance to Mlle. Antoinette’s Parfumerie.
Haunted Mansion, Disneyland celebrates Haunted Mansion’s 45th Anniversary with new art and collectibles

The doorway received a new facade, which is pushed out from the rest of the facade, likely due to structural changes from Club 33’s new overhead bridge. While this particular facade is probably the best in terms of the facades that were reworked as part of the Club 33 project, it’s definitely not perfect. It mimics the rest of the perfume shop’s facade in an effort to blend in, but lacks the details found on the existing facade. It’s a nice effort, but not good enough – the new facade just doesn’t match. While it might look fine at first glance, it falls apart upon closer inspection.

From the Daveland archives, a look at the facade as it appeared in the early 1970s, just a few short years after New Orleans Square opened.

And the facade in 2011:

No further changes on the rest of the altered New Orleans Square facades. Wait and see…?

Over on Royal Street, the pathway from Club 33 emergency exit stairs behind the portrait artists area continues to be kept clear with some barricades. If this a permanent change, hopefully some night wrought-iron fencing or something can be installed to replace the temporary railing.

Elsewhere in New Orleans Square, this is the final week to enjoy Haunted Mansion in its traditional format until next year. The attraction, fresh off its 45th anniversary, will close to install its holiday overlay starting next Monday.
