Buena Vista Street |
Buena Vista Street officially opened to the public on June 15, 2011. It is a re-imagined entrance to Disney California Advnenture. You walk down Buena Vista Street, which is a look at how California/Hollywood was when Walt first arrived back in the 20s and through the 30s. Icons such as the Carthay Circle Theater (where Snow White premiered) will be included. There will be a Red Car line that will stretch from the entrance down Hollywood Blvd and on to the Tower of Terror area. The entrance coridor will be a more traditional street, unlike the vast/open courtyard that originally existed when the park opened in 2001. The new Pan Pacicific Auditorium inspired entrance to the park opened to guests on July 15, 2011. A bulk of the work on converting the old Sunshine Plaza stores and entrance into Buena Vista Street is slated to start August 1, 2011. The Golden Gate bridge is slated for removal starting on July 17, 2011.
Description from the Disneyparks Blog: Just down the way and most reminiscent of a bygone time will be Los Feliz Five & Dime. This one-stop shop is where you will find just about anything you need for the entire family. Within its walls, you’ll find collections of t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, figurines, souvenirs and more inspired by railways and trolleys as well as character merchandise featuring Mickey Mouse and friends in retro mood styling. What does it look like? Well, where would the fun be if I gave it all away today? But I promise you won’t have to wait too long – in fact, you might even see something from me later this week. As we continue, next door you’ll find Big Top Toys, which it has to be said, this circus-themed toy store is going to be an extravaganza! Offering a playful environment for kids and kids at heart, you will find shelves lined with innovative and interactive toys, games and plush inspired by many of our famous Disney Parks attractions and characters to get you “on with the show!” Finally, you will find yourself paying tribute to the opulent art deco department stores of yesteryear, with Elias & Co. As you take a moment to step back in time, envision yourself standing in an idealized version of 1923 Los Angeles, as a young traveler named Walt Disney steps off a train, a fedora on his head, luggage at his feet, his best pal at his side, and a dream in his mind that one day would become a reality. As you continue through the store, be sure to take note of the retro-style attraction posters that will also appear on a wide variety of clothing, souvenirs and collectible items. Now, before you depart, I encourage you to embrace the spirit that Walt Disney showed during his early days as an eager young producer and complete your ensemble with a selection of men’s period fedoras and executive-style accessories. |
