Myrna Litt’s 10/16 Blue Sky Cellar Photo Report

It’s time for a photo report from Myrna Litt, of the new Blue Sky Cellar in the Golden Vine Winery at Disney’s California Adventure:

The entrance to the Golden Vine Winery has been modified with some slightly over the top Blue Sky Cellar signage.

Displays on the back wall of the Blue Sky Cellar. This one looks at Buena Vista Street.

Paradise Pier.

Concept art for The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Adventure, World of Color, & Toy Story Midway Mania.

Cars Land. The mountain range in the back of the overall land concept art will be the show building for Radiator Springs Racers, possibly to be one of the biggest attractions Disney has ever constructed!

This little introduction to the concept behind “blue sky” is at the entrance of the exhibit.

Various concept art for Mickey’s Fun Wheel & the Games of the Boardwalk.

Concept art for The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Adventure & Goofy’s Sky School.

Even though the attraction has already opened, Toy Story Midway Mania is included in the cellar as it’s really the first of many attractions that will transform DCA into an amazing theme park.

A model of the new Games of the Boardwalk games & theming.

An amazing model that shows just how amazing Paradise Pier will become. Notice the replacement for the Maliboomer at the right of the model? It’s going to be a parachute type ride, like one that was once at Knott’s Berry Farm.

Screens have been built into these wine barrels, that host trivia related to both Walt Disney, as well as current & future DCA attractions.

In the coming soon area, there is a small display on Buena Vista Street & Cars Land. These 2 developments will have more exhibits added once the Paradise Pier work starts to wrap up.

This picture of Walt Disney is in the Screening Room.

A big version of this awesome map hangs also hangs in the Screening Room.

Finally, here’s a short little video clip (with no sound) of the 6 minute film shown in the Screening Room of the Blue Sky Cellar:

Myrna also got some other shots from around the Disneyland Resort, which she should be sending to me later today, so stay tuned!

The Vineyard Room Closing?

Various reports have been going around saying that the Vineyard Room restaurant in the Golden Vine Winery section of Disney’s California Adventure may possibly be closing, permanently or not, on August 31st.

Please do keep in mind that this is in no way confirmed, & it just pure speculation at the moment, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted on whether the Vineyard Room truly will be closing or not.
