More On DCA

Yesterday's Al Lutz column at MiceAge has some more scoop on the changes coming to California Adventure. It's a must-read:

Tied in with the project to radically remake the entrance is a plan to rebrand and retheme the current Hollywood Pictures Backlot section directly to the east of the existing Sunshine Plaza. Instead of a fake Hollywood backlot themed to being a fake Hollywood, the area will be redone to actually be Hollywood during the Golden Age of the 1930's. ...

[Paradise Pier] ... the Route 66 section is planned to be removed entirely. In place of the cheap Mulholland Madness county fair coaster and the McDonalds and pizza parlor a beautiful Victorian beer garden would be built. Nestled next to the beer garden would be a new coaster themed to Ratatouille and a mad race through kitchens and alleys...

[Golden State] The current plans call for those empty San Francisco row houses to become a new Disneyland Resort Preview Center with models and sketches of the new attractions and park themes coming to Anaheim in the next few years. The center will most heavily tout the plans for DCA, especially at first. But it would also be used to showcase the new Disneyland Resort hotels, Downtown Disney expansion, the new Disney Cruise Line ships based out of Long Beach, the new look and attractions planned for Tomorrowland, and any number of the growing list of new projects now headed to Anaheim..

This is all really exciting, and I personally can't wait to see how it all turns out. Elaine and I will be down at Disneyland in early '08, and I'm hoping to see the Orange Stinger for, maybe, the last time.

I went to DCA in 2004 and was appalled at how bad it was. I'm glad that I didn't make the mistake of planning to spend a whole day there. I walked in at 5pm and had finished by 6pm.
