Re: Disneyland Project Tracker

Do you realize how much there is, in there, that needs repainting? The Pleasure Island scene alone would take a few weeks. Pinocchio is going to look amazing, with everything being painted fresh. If you've seen pictures of what a difference it made with Honest John, this past year, then imagine that for the whole ride. It's going to be awesome!

And, as much as I'm going to miss going on certain rides while they're closed- it's ok. Why? Because they are taking care of the park. Do you know how long it's been since these Fantasyland rides went down for a simple refurb? I can't think of anything (other than Alice, Casey Jr/Storybook, and Teacups) that has, in the past 3/4 years. And quite frankly, that's way too long to go with out some touch-up work, or more. I'm very proud to have this park as my home park- they care, and take care of it.

It's not just paint, you know. They also have to check everything, update if needed, and review and update all the safety things. If Disney didn't do these refurbs, they wouldn't have the great parks we know and love today.

Exactly. They check track connections, make sure electrical leads aren't getting worn out, make sure lights are hung properly, replace gels if needed, adjust lighting angles, refocus spots. They may not be adding anything new, but just like a 60k mile service does wonders for how your car performs without adding anything new, these rides will perform much better now.

Re: Disneyland Project Tracker

Is it fair to say that outside of needed routine refurbs/maintenance.. NOTHING will be done with Disneyland until the DCA renovation is finished in 2012? As far as even bothering with PeopleMover, Autopia, queues, etc...

Everything is pretty much tied up in WoC, Little Mermaid, and CarsLand. Is that a fair assumption?

Re: Disneyland Project Tracker

You can't really say that nothing will happen at Disneyland. I'm sure they'll still have the regular ride refurbs and what not.

Yea that's why I mentioned "outside of routine refurbs/maintenance."

Re: Disneyland Project Tracker

There are teams of Imagineers and Management who are currently only focused on DCA and its many projects. However, that is not to say the entire company is solely focused on DCA and nothing else. There are still many projects being considered and looked at for other parks, including Disneyland Park. There are still ideas being pitched and considered, and budgets being formed and set aside for other projects and additions as well; the normal hustle and bustle as usual.

If the disney gallery is moving to main street, are there future plans to open the Dream Suite publicly?

I heard a while back that it would be for VIPs only. I am not sure if this is correct though.
