^It's a short closure, they're just adding Frozen theming to it.

DJeXeL · December 9, 2014

^Yea not so much. That would be interesting however.

Jew · December 9, 2014

Short, un-scheduled closure? Something is broken...

DJeXeL · December 9, 2014

^It has been scheduled for a while but not published until recently.

Welp, kind of sad Screamin' was closed, but otherwise the trip was great (well, except that my initial flight down was cancelled...). Park was relatively empty, I don't think anything had a wait longer than half an hour or so, except Radiator Springs which we just fast-passed and single ridered. It was actually my first time down there during Christmas, I might only go down during Christmas from now on (except when I really want to see the traditional Haunted Mansion). It was also my first time on the new Big Thunder Mountain, the new effects are awesome (and the track feels much faster and smoother than I remembered), great stuff!

Guests visiting Disneyland park will now be able to visit a miniature version of Arendelle from the hit Disney animated feature, “Frozen,” when Storybook Land Canal Boats reopens this weekend. Our chief photographer, Paul Hiffmeyer, got a special preview of this new featurette this morning, and brought back these photos for Disney Parks Blog readers!

Ooh! A sneak peak at what's going in at Tokyo DisneySea!

That's really detailed for small scale. Now there's an actual reason for me to ride the Storybook Land boats instead of walking by the miserable line of people who queue up for it.

I was wondering what it took the place of, but now found out the Windmills were removed and saved

"for the future" one site reported. That's good. And this Arendelle set up looks wonderful, including

Elsa's castle up in the mountains.

^If anything, it is possible that the former Old Mill sets (which had been along the ride path for many decades) will simply be sent to the Walt Disney Archives for preservation.

Nrthwnd · December 19, 2014

^ Yes, that's what I am hoping, if nothing else happens with them.

cfc · December 19, 2014

Looks like a good addition to Storybookland, although I must admit that I haven't ridden that attraction in years.

^Now you have a reason!

^Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

Well, it begins!

Disneyland just hit capacity and they are directed ALL guests over to DCA now. Has this ever happened on Christmas Day before?

Happens every year.

Yes, it happens every year, but not on Christmas Day.

X2coasterfreak · December 25, 2014

At the parks now and this may be the busiest I have ever seen it, it's good thing we rode every major ride early.

adeuce02 · December 26, 2014

It happens. The magic kingdom had a phase closing earlier today for a couple hours.

Jew · December 29, 2014

I'm amazed it doesn't happen more often. I don't think Walt could have ever envisioned his park hosting so many guests. I'm very curious to see how they handle crowd control going forward, as it's not like they have tons of room to re-model all the walkways to accommodate more foot traffic.

I'm heading down to Disneyland in less than two weeks! It'll be a lot more fun with Jacob now that he's a tiny bit older. I don't think we'll do the storybook boats and he wiggles like nothing else, but the animal cages on Casey Junior should work!

jedimaster1227 · January 3, 2015

^It is never too early to introduce Jacob to the glories of mint juleps, Corn Dog Castle and Boudin Bakery bread bowls!

All that and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
