This week, we officially celebrated the Grand Reopening of Disney California Adventure park. And if you couldn’t make it out, the Disney Parks Blog was the place to turn. We kicked things off with live coverage from the Cars Land red carpet and opening celebration, and then shared images and video from the park’s Grand Reopening ceremony. Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs also gave us a look at how it all happened, including a special video of the five-year journey
Also, don’t miss our gallery of additional images from the Cars Land red carpet and opening celebration.
And at the Walt Disney World Resort, we continued our exclusive series “All in the Details” this week with a glimpse inside Maurice’s Cottage, which is the room that welcomes guests to the Enchanted Tales With Belle meet-and-greet experience. Jennifer Fickley-Baker has photos and the most updated information concerning openings at New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom Park in her original post.
