We’re returning with Disneyland Resort coverage! This past week at Disneyland Resort was another week filled construction and refurbishments! Many rides are down for refurbishments recently, marking a true off-season for Disney, and the park is getting ready for its huge 60th Anniversary Diamond Celebration.
Disneyland!
Sleeping Beauty’s Castle is completely covered with scaffolding and is disguised with a image of the castle on a tarp. Both sides of the castle are. The castle should be back open by March 2nd of this year, in time for the 60th anniversary.
There are a lot of construction walls up! It reminds me of the crazy construction wall maze that was to be found at Universal Studios Hollywood a couple of months ago! Here’s a closer look, at the front, back, and actual construction.
Matterhorn Bobsleds are completely walled off as it undergoes its lengthy refurbishment.
The Matterhorn Bobsleds will reopen May 15th. 
Construction!
It’s A Small World is still covered up with a pictured tarp. The front of the ride’s building is undergoing some sort of refurbishment. To return, looking better than ever, soon!
Peter Pan’s Flight is closed for a refurbishment and will reopen by May 7th.
The whole Critter Country part of the park is closed with Splash Mountain and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh undergoing a refurbishment. The entire area is planned to reopen April 2nd!
Disney’s California Adventure
Buena Vista Street looking good as usual!
Construction continues over at the old Condor Flats area. It will become Grizzly Peak Airfield to match the theme of the Grand Californian and of Grizzly Peak. The Condor Flats theme ended up not working out very well, and thus Disney is re-theming the area.
Grizzly River Run is scheduled to reopen on March 19th. Soarin’ over California will be open to the public again May 14th.
World of color is getting refurbished and the lake is drained! World of Color should resume by March 12th. It will run a special celebration show this summer/spring, after May 22nd, the World of Color- Celebration show will be running daily as part of Disneyland’s 60th Anniversary Diamond Celebration.

Oh! Fast-dispatching not-hybrid super-cool, mild, Intamin launched looper! Gotta love California Screamin’!There was water entering the lake, whether that meant they were refilling it or not, we’re not sure.
