I’ve got some fantastic news to share with you straight from the heart of the magical kingdom – Disneyland Resort is set to give its entry gates a magical makeover! As a seasoned traveler and Disney aficionado, I couldn’t be more thrilled to spill the details on this enchanting project.
In a recent confirmation from theme park officials, it’s official – the entry gates at both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure are getting a well-deserved facelift. Picture this: brand new gates, some specially designed for strollers and ADA accessibility. Scott Gustin, a member of the digital team at Nexstar Media, spilled the beans on these upcoming changes, drawing comparisons to the charming entry gates at Disneyland Paris.
Now, what’s even more magical is the automation! The new gates will open like a fairytale come true after a Cast Member scans and validates your theme park ticket. No more turnstiles – it’s all about making your entrance as seamless and enchanting as possible.
But hey, I know what you’re thinking – construction can be a bit of a downer on the magical experience. Fear not, fellow Disney lovers! To ensure minimal impact on your visit, Disneyland will be tackling this project in phases. They’re taking a thoughtful, phased approach, working on one turnstile bank at a time to keep the magic alive while they work their construction magic.
And guess what? This news is just the tip of the enchanted iceberg. Amidst this gate transformation, there’s a lot more happening in the world of Disney – from the ongoing revamp of Downtown Disney to the reimagining of Splash Mountain and the exciting construction of the outdoor queue for the Haunted Mansion. It’s like a symphony of creativity, and we’re all invited to dance along.
Now, for the nitty-gritty details: Construction is scheduled to kick off later this year, and building permits have already been filed with the City of Anaheim. For Disneyland Park, they’re planning to remove existing turnstiles and gates, making way for new automatic guest entry gates, fixed manual gates, removable railings, and even overhead shrouds for that extra touch of magic. Over at Disney California Adventure, similar plans are in place, ensuring that both parks get a magical makeover.
While a completion date is yet to be announced, one thing’s for sure – the anticipation is building, and the magic is about to get even more enchanting at Disneyland Resort. Stay tuned for more updates on this spellbinding transformation!✨🏰 #DisneyMagic #MagicalMakeover #DisneylandRevamp
