This exciting news comes to us from Sarah Tully at the OC Register.
Disney California Adventure plans to temporarily close corridors, shut down stores and stop its parade as crews work on a major, $1 billion overhaul of the theme park.
Disney next year will start finishing major projects of the five-year, park makeover, which is set to be completed in 2012. New jobs are set to begin in early January, said John McClintock, a Disneyland Resort spokesman.

The biggest project will come in the entrance area of the park, which will transform into Buena Vista Street — an area meant to look like Southern California when Walt Disney began his career here. The park’s entrance will move temporarily at the end of summer.
Pixar Play Parade is set to go on hiatus for most of the year as crews repave and close major corridors. Check the blog tomorrow for a story on entertainment changes in 2011.
Most attractions will remain open during the construction, McClintock said.
