Exciting Dining Enhancements Coming Soon to the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort
by Michael Ramirez, Editorial Content Director, Disneyland Resort
Two hotel fast-casual food spots are getting spruced up at the Disneyland Resort, also adding gorgeous new bar seating for pool goers and hotel guests.

Tangaroa Terrace, the South Seas hideaway at the Disneyland Hotel, is closing soon and will re-open in early 2019 as Tangaroa Terrace Bar & Grill. The restaurant’s ‘50s Tiki-inspired design, however, will remain the perfect tropical complement to the mid-century modern architecture of the Disneyland Hotel. Guests can expect a new outdoor bar and refreshed patio, serving island cocktails and Asian-inspired fare. New details will also be added to the interior space, including light fixtures made of colorful fishing floats and netting, a tropical mural and bamboo accents. Guests will also be delighted to find a dedicated service window for various coffee selections in the morning and the popular Dole Whip throughout the day, perfect while enjoying time at the pools. The grill will offer options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with an open-air marketplace for quick bites. While Tangaroa Terrace is under refurbishment, menu offerings will be available at The Coffee House, Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar and Steakhouse 55.

Exciting Dining Enhancements Coming Soon to the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort
by Michael Ramirez, Editorial Content Director, Disneyland Resort

Guests of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will also be able to lounge in even more luxury, poolside, with a new pool bar opening in spring 2019. As you can see in the artwork above, the new pool bar area will keep with the hotel’s signature Arts and Crafts design with natural boulder stonework and clinker bricks. A custom tile mural at the back bar will also set the craftsman tone in the new space. In addition, a trellis structure will provide shade and a perfect respite to enjoy sipping beverages and snacking on appetizers. A variety of new lounge and table seating will also be available.

Check back on the Disney Parks Blog for more details!

Getting rid of big planters for more concrete because tragic people can't imagine going to disneyland without their hummer strollers for their 9 year olds.
They are removing the planter seats that were around the columns of the PM tracks.

Thanks. On top of removing the planters for crowd control (as this was a huge bottleneck area), can this be seen as a preparation move for removing the tracks altogether?

Sad. I mean it's sad to see it in its current state, but it's also depressing knowing another piece of Disneyland history might be removed instead of reinforced / rebuilt.

Well I'm not going to get into a whole thing, but my understanding is it could never come back in its current form. So they'd have to tear it down anyways. And then build a replacement, which wouldn't be the same to a lot of people. So I rather them just get rid of it and put something new in its place, along with a overhauled TL.

That would be nice, and I suppose doing it this way is less invasive. But the reality is, now that they're removing the planters, the People Mover track is a claustrophobia-indusing visual intrusion (and shade structure that incidentally provides guest comfort) now instead of an actual intrusion. Each column without the planter takes up the space of one human in the land. The incentive to remove the tracks now seems diminished if the objective of their projects all over the park ahead of star wars' opening is to expand guest areas.

Why not? Get into a whole thing ;)

On a separate note I don't think there's much argument in that the tracks are a huge eyesore. They need to go, or they need to be brought back to life. I don't mind as long as something happens with a new Tomorrowland revamp (and the only thing remaining untouched is Space Mountain).

I secretly die a little bit everytime a piece of Disney history is removed.

Yeah I see your point. I am hoping a new Tomorrowland is right around the corner, and with that the destruction or rebuild of the tracks.

Well I could start talking about OSHA/ADA stuff. But nah....

Anyways, I wouldn't be surprised if by January you see parts of PM tracks being taken down. But just my thoughts, not an actual rumor.

In 'It Pays to Re-Check' news, here is a permit from last summer:

Received BLD2017-04158 WALT DISNEY WORLD CO 1313 S HARBOR BLVD Disneyland - SW - DL Frontierland Expansion - BLD 10030/ Attraction #2 - Tenant Improvement: (Scene 11 a/b) 953 s.ft (Scene 10a/b,12a/b,13a/b,14a/b,17a/b,18a/b) 4,817 s.ft . REF:BLD2016-05640

It now reads:

BLD2017-04158 Disneyland - SW - DL Frontierland Expansion - BLD 10030/ Attraction #2 - Tenant Improvement: Phase 1 (Scene 11 a/b) 953 s.ft new steel structure guest sorting area. (Scene 10a/b,12a/b,13a/b,14a/b,17a/b,18a/b) 4,817 s.ft steel structure queue hall way. Phase 2: Scene 1 through 9 and 17AB,18AB through 20 for theming decoration mounted to interior of existing facility . Phase 3: Scene 03, Hero Engine prefabricated themed show set prop anchored to existing facility support. All work inside attraction. REF:BLD2016-05640

Alternative theory: If Attraction #2 is Big Bird/Millenium Falcon, then the a/b could refer to the duplicated indoor queue, grouping, and Falcon interiors. I have always assumed that each wing (North and West) each having two carousels/turntables, would have its own "spaceport" queue and Falcon interior. Somehow the Falcon interior would branch to serve loading two carousels.

Does anyone know on these permits which is attraction #1 and #2?
