The Disneyland Resort is currently experiencing a busy week with multiple construction projects, event reopenings, and seasonal transitions. The Paradise Gardens Gazebo has been demolished after serving as a garden shop since 2001, likely to accommodate future expansion or theming changes. The Frontierland Shootin’ Exposition recently reopened following a two-month refurbishment that included fresh paint and polished rifles without significant structural changes. Main Street Cinema has updated its souvenir tickets, removing the 70th anniversary branding in favor of a classic Mickey Mouse design accessible via MagicBand+.
Ticket prices have dropped to Tier 0 levels for several September dates, offering lower-cost entry though high temperatures may impact attendance. Various construction zones are visible throughout the resort, including work on the Eastern Gateway project and exterior refurbishments at multiple attractions and dining locations. Several experiences like Indiana Jones Adventure and Mad Tea Party are temporarily closed with no immediate reopening dates announced.
The resort is also shifting its seasonal focus from Halloween to Christmas, with online stores already stocking holiday merchandise. Free outdoor movie nights have returned to Downtown Disney every Wednesday through late October, while special seasonal treats like Halloween-themed Dole Whip and pumpkin cookies are available at select locations. The Dapper Dans continue their performances with a special Halloween set that showcases their talent and joy for the audience.
