First week of Paradise Pier and Main Street Closures

[sherilaine]

The schedule shows Casey train and the Canal boats being back up by early March so that is hopeful at least.

View attachment 300511 More walls in Fantasyland. Casey Jr. Circus Train and Storybookland Canal Boats are down for refurb, along with Dumbo.

Oh, wow! I’m glad we got there before they closed these. DD loves both of those rides, and we had a blast (Monday the 29th was our last day in the parks).

 

[Laundress]

Thank you everyone for all the updates. I’m feeling hopeful for our end of March trip.

Wow, the black tarps look awful

Oh I agree. I don't know why they used that instead of walls. Have they run out of walls?

They may have but they’re Disney and should make something else. Those look tacky. With the $ they have, I’d expect more

I feel so bad for people visiting now during their once in a lifetime trip. Very unforunate to see all the walls, and especially those ugly black tarps!

Fireworks are on the sch for March 15th Last I checked so maybe

Storybook Land Canal boats shows as reopening on Feb 16th - maybe tarps are used when it's such a short period? Still not pretty!

What’s the current state of Main St? From what I’ve seen in this thread they’ve only added walls and nothing has come down yet. Is that correct? I’m heading to the park next weekend and just curious what we’re in for.

Correct, the entire street is now boarded up along with the hub and town square. There are 3 walk through points. One just before the hub, one in the middle by Carnation Cafe, and one by Town Square.

Thanks for confirming

First time trip to DL and wow..lots of closures

What I'm trying to figure out is parades & fireworks. Disney's calendar isn't showing anything for our dates 2/28 & 3/1 but what i'm seeing online is that Mickey's Soundsational Parade and Remember...Dreams Come True fireworks are operational. Thankfully it looks like World of color is happening since it IS on the calendar or could that be closed too? We're staying Club Level at Paradise Pier and I was really looking forward to seeing all the hustle and bustle of the boardwalk. I guess this will be a "teaser" trip and we'll have to come visit again. BTW it would be nice if our WDW AP's got us some sort of discounts here even if it were retail. (but thats really a whole separate convo LOL)

No parades and no fireworks. Parades were never on the schedule because they are moving the parade gate by small world and the Main Street construction. They originally were going to try and do fireworks with the Main Street construction but that got canned before the construction started.

well dang the luck. thanks for the quick reply

If any of the walls on Main Street start to come down will someone post pictures? Since they started at the hub and town square, I'm hoping those come down first. Even if they opened up half the hub it would be a huge improvement so you could walk between lands a little easier.

If it makes you feel any better - there would not have been Fireworks on Feb 28th or March 1st regardless of the construction as fireworks are only held on weekends that time of year.

You will have Fantasmic nightly in Disneyland and WOC nightly in DCA. The walls are not the best but I think you will still have a great time, especially since you know what to expect.

Our very first trip to DLR was in March of 2012 when Disney California Adventure was all walled up - we didn't know any different - we had a marvelous time - honestly you can have a great time no matter what.
