Disneyland Update: Downtown Disney, San Fransokyo, Tiana's Bayou Adventure - June 7, 2023

Yes, we're back with another update from the Disneyland Resort. Our 2nd park update in the past 2 weeks and our 3rd Disneyland post in the same timeframe. This is DEFINITELY a new record for Park Journey but we just happened to find ourselves at the resort a couple of days and had some stuff to update you all on. 

If you missed our post about the Single Rider Lines at the resort, click here to check out that post, the video is below. We are really happy with how that one turned out. 

For this update we're going to take you around Downtown Disney where some construction is going on and through the two big projects in both parks, San Fransokyo at Disney California Adventure and Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Disneyland. 

Starting in Downtown Disney, a look at the "renovated" Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen.

I was waiting to see it in person before judging, but it actually looks worse in person than it does in pictures and video.

All of the charm is gone, and it's sad.

But, on the positive side, Beignets Expressed is open!!!

The former Uva Bar is pretty much gone. I forget what's replacing this, but hopefully it's just more room.

Some fantastic pride displays all around the resort!

Hey Harold!

This guy was kind of strange.

It's 8:30am somewhere!! =)

Some attractions around both parks are offering free PhotoPass downloads!

I hadn't ridden Tow Mater in probably 10 years (honest) so decided to take a POV as well!

I love the ride, but it was a bit rattly in my head. LOL!

Moving on to San Fransokyo, lots of progress is being made and it looks great!

The bridge should look different soon.

Lots of renovations going on in the Wharf, but all of the eateries are still open.

The Karl Strauss beer truck is gone. And we are sad.

Love this!

Tried the Destran Ice Cap. Was not a fan. The Ronto Wrap made up for it.

Moving on to Critter Country (but for how long)

Walls are up all around Tiana's Bayou Adventure.

The Splash Mountain sign is gone

The queue lights are on, I wouldn't anticipate too many changes happening there.

Some ropes and cones at the top of the final drop.

Work continues on Tiana's Palace, which I still think is a bit too far from the attraction.

Walls are up all the way around the former French Market.

Lastly, work on the Adventureland Treehouse.

I have no idea why this is taking so long.

Alright, that's going to wrap it up for this update, we hope you enjoyed! We'll be back at the resort later this month for Rogers: The Musical. Cannot wait!
