OK we're now heading into the second week of June and the Disneyland Resort is hitting its summer stride with "Soundsational Summer". Here's the summer rundown.
In Disneyland:
Now Open
The refurbished Splash Mountain (closed for about 6 months). Supposedly faster loading and unloading of the logs. We'll see,
Mickey's SoundSational Parade is getting great reviews and marked improvement over the previous forgettable parade effort.
Star Tours - again, the reviews are beyond fantastic but get a fastpass early or be prepared to wait (hours).
Not Open:
Well everything is open but the Matterhorn Boblsleds will be down a significant amount of time over the summer. The biggest block of dates is July 11 - Sept 1. Maybe the new sleds are going to be installed.
In Disney California Adventure:
Now Open
The Little Mermaid dark ride. Reviews are mixed. A step above the typical dark ride but not a huge step. Some complain that its a little bright in there to get the true effect of being in an underwater adventure. Wait time is running about 1 hour. No fastpass available.
Two gift shops and and the return of the Corn Dog Castle near the Little Mermaid show building have also opened.
Not Open:
Goofy's Sky School - the re-themed Mulholland Madness is set to fly July 1.
Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta and The Garden Grill restaurants are also set to open July 1 as Paradise Pier completes its transformation. A new beer garden will also be part of this expanded dining area.
The new DCA Front Entrance - no date given for getting the turnstiles re-opened but July 1 seems to be reasonable.
Still to come in 2012: Carsland, Carthay Circle Theater (restaurant and lounge), Buena Vista St.,and Red Car Trolleys.
