Walls Up around the Haunted Mansion as Construction Begins

Walls Up around the Haunted Mansion as Construction Begins

Walls have been put up around the Haunted Mansion and the areas surrounding the attraction as construction on the grounds begins! Disney announced in August 2023 that the grounds around the Haunted Mansion would be expanded and that work is now under way.

Concept art is hanging on the walls outside of the attraction. Enhancements are coming to the plaza adjacent to Tiana’s Palace. This area is one that holds a lot of memories and history, and a new, elegant park-like setting will be a place to relax and enjoy the ambiance and live entertainment under the shade of new and historic trees.

Closer to Haunted Mansion the walls show a gallery of original Haunted Mansion concept art by various Imagineers. There are eight pieces, each crafted by a different Imagineer. Seven of them date back to the period spanning from 1952 to 1969, during the attraction’s original development phase. Additionally, there is one piece from the 1994 update.

While in the area, guests might hear work being done on the grounds. When we visited the area recently, we could hear the work as well as see part of a construction vehicle behind the walls.

When the area reopens, each of the gardens will feature unique elements ranging from a water fountain and gazebo to themed statuary and landscaping. In fact, guests will be able to see a new greenhouse where the groundskeepers for the Haunted Mansion grow their plants. The pet cemetery and horse-drawn funeral hearse will continue to reside on the attraction’s grounds.

A new retail shop is also coming to the Haunted Mansion grounds. This carriage house of the mansion, belonging to Madame Leota, will be a standalone shop.

We’re hoping to see the attraction reopen this fall in time for the Halloween season with its Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay.

Anaheim Planning Greenlights Disneyland Forward Project

Anaheim Planning Greenlights Disneyland Forward Project

The Anaheim Planning Commission voted last night to approve the Disneyland Forward project. It was approved in a 5-1 vote and now moves to the Anaheim City Council for approval.

Through the DisneylandForward Project proposal, the company aims to invest $1.9 billion in property development over the upcoming decade. This encompasses allocating $40 million to acquire streets from the city of Anaheim, such as Hotel Way, segments of Clementine Street, and Magic Way.

The expansion proposal doesn’t alter Disney’s existing 490-acre (488-hectare) footprint in Southern California or its current building permissions. However, it presents an opportunity for the company to introduce new attractions. This includes utilizing the sprawling 50-acre (20-hectare) parking lot for rides and entertainment options, alongside relocating Disneyland parking to a multistory structure. All of this is planned within the resort’s boundaries, surrounded by residential neighborhoods.

Disney aims to craft enhanced, immersive experiences for tourists, akin to the acclaimed attraction Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, inaugurated in California in 2019. Although the company hasn’t identified specific narratives for the new developments, the concept is to fashion zones reminiscent of “Zootopia” in Shanghai Disneyland. Here, animated animal characters traverse a dynamic cityscape mirroring the film’s setting.

Rachel Alde, Disney’s senior vice president of global development and finance, noted that at present, the original Disneyland in Anaheim lacks sufficient space to undertake large-scale construction without impacting cherished existing attractions, valued by loyal, long-time visitors to the company’s oldest theme park.

The city’s Planning and Building Department staff have recommended approval of Disney’s application.

Stay tuned to see if the Anaheim City Council approves Disneyland’s plans!

Disney Cruise Line is set to open a new tropical destination called Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point on the island of Eleuthera in The Bahamas in June 2024. This unique retreat will offer guests a chance to experience the rich culture, warm hospitality, and natural beauty of The Bahamas. Construction is continuing full steam ahead as the opening date for the island approaches, and we have some updated photos from Disney ready to share with you!

The updated photos depict vibrant cabanas designed by a Bahamian artist that dot the island’s shores. The architecture throughout the island is inspired by colorful seashells, and guests can enjoy tasty BBQ at True-True Too BBQ while taking in ocean views. The tram stops on the island will be brightly colored, reflecting Bahamian art and culture.

Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point is celebrating Bahamian culture, particularly the Junkanoo tradition. Disney has supported the Junior Junkanoo competition in Eleuthera, helping preserve this cultural tradition. The company has also increased support for the program, providing funding and hosting workshops for students to learn about creative careers.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse will debut new looks designed by Bahamian fashion designer Theodore Elyett when they visit the island. Their outfits will have a Bahamian flair, inspired by the Junkanoo festival as depicted in the video from Disney above.

Stay tuned to Chip and Co for more updates as the opening of Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point approaches!
