The Discovery Tower houses the Villas at the Disneyland Hotel. This tower opens in a little over a month, Sept 28th. Finishing touches were being worked on.
The walkway to the Frontier Tower is still narrow with walls.
A quiet space to sit.. a stark contrast to the old waterfalls that used to be here which were quite loud.
Making my way toward Downtown Disney.

Stopped by the Rivers of America to see the Queenie and Jambalaya Jazz Band for their 8:10pm set. The raft was up river then headed back to the dock.
The fountains and lights were turned off, so the performance was cancelled for some reason. I took this as a sign it was time to leave and headed back to the parking structure.
