Grab this chance — only for Disneyland Resort Annual Passholders — to be among the first to experience how the Happiest Place on Earth just got happier! As part of the preview, experience exciting attractions, dining and merchandise locations.
Step foot on Buena Vista Street — the main street of Disney California Adventure Park — to see the transformation. Imagine you have been transported to an idealized 1920's version of Los Angeles. Stroll past Art Deco storefronts, a sparkling fountain and see sights designed to invoke the energetic city Walt Disney discovered when he traveled to California in 1923.
And then enter a land like no other: Cars Land! Here, Radiator Springs has been brought to life and you'll feel like you've walked into the Disney•Pixar Cars movie. Cars Land comes fully loaded with exciting attractions, entertainment and plenty of Disney Character meet-and-greet opportunities. Get ready to be floored!
The expanded and re-imagined Disney California Adventure Park will open to the general public on June 15, 2012.
With just a little over five weeks to go before Buena Vista Street opens at Disney California Adventure park, here’s your first look at the art for one of the key programs, appropriately titled “Storytellers” and set to debut inside Elias & Co. While I could spend all day telling you why I’m a fan of this piece, I thought I’d turn it over to artist Noah and Product Developer Lisa Bergman, who were able to give me a bird’s-eye view on what inspired them to create this piece and on the magic that lives on in all of us.
1901 will be a special lounge accessible exclusively by Club 33 members. Named for the year Walt Disney was born – 1901 – the club will be a warm, intimate space with eclectic light fixtures, overstuffed leather chairs, and beautiful, rich touches.
Yesterday, we took you inside the exclusive, private 1901 which will be located at Carthay Circle Theatre in Disney California Adventure park. Today, we’re showing you the inside of Carthay Circle Restaurant, which will be accessible to all park guests when it opens June 15.
The photos above show the inside of Carthay Circle Restaurant, still under construction but close to the way it will appear when it opens on June 15. The new premier dining location will take guests back in time to opening night of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” a historic night for Walt Disney and his studio. Re-creating the excitement of that night, Carthay Circle Restaurant will immerse guests in the post-screening atmosphere – as if they are celebrating alongside Walt and Lillian Disney, themselves.
More Buena Vista Street details are emerging over the walls, or from the windows of a speeding monorail train. From the always fantastic weekly Dateline Disneyland update on Monday over at Miceage...

I know, so am I.
I was a huge DCA critic and detractor, from back in the alt.disney.disneyland days in the late 1990's (when this TP2000 handle seemed very futuristic!), and I've been a critic through most of the 2000's of the fixes that Pressler and/or Eisner tried to throw at it. But since the 2010's started, I've really begun to like what DCA has become.
This last big double-whammy phase of Cars Land and Buena Vista Street is pushing me over the edge, and I'm just about to become a DCA Lover. I'll have to wait until about July when I can inspect and experience the entire park without the mad crush of AP's from June 15th to 30th, but I think my final verdict on DCA 2.0 is going to be a very good one.
