[Disneyland Park] Main Street, U.S.A.: remaniement des points de restauration (2012) et agrandissement (2015)

Le 07 janvier 2012, le Plaza Pavilion (anciennement bureau des passeports annuels) va devenir Jolly Holiday Bakery Café, la nouvelle boulangerie/patisserie de Main Street, U.S.A. thématisée sur Mary Poppins. Cela permettra de fermer l'actuelle boulangerie/patisserie, Blue Ribbon Bakery, afin de permettre l'extension de son voisin, le célèbre restaurant Carnation Café (travaux du 05 janvier à l'été 2012).





Afin de s'agrandir, Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor et Candy Palace vont également fermer début 2012 pour réouvrir au printemps 2012.

MiceAge en avait parlé aussi vers le milieu de cet article: http://micechat.com/blogs/in-the-parks/3064-boo-you-universal-studios-disneylands-jolly-holiday-cars-land-windseeker.html

Et sait-on ce qu'il advient des Passeports Annuels justement ?

Et sait-on ce qu'il advient des Passeports Annuels justement ?

Disney ayant modernisé les procédures des PA (plus de photo sur les PA mais la photo apparait sur les écrans des tourniquets d'entrée), il n'y aura plus de Bureau leur étant dédié. Ils s'achètent désormais aux guichets d'entrée des parcs. Voici une explication plus précise, par MiceAge (tirée du lien que j'ai donné dans mon 1ier message):

Citation :

But where will the Annual Pass processing take place? At the regular ticket booths, of course. Disney has streamlined the whole pass processing system and removed pictures from the passes. Passes will now be purchased at the regular ticket booths and guests can use photopass or their own picture and upload a photo to their passholder account from home. (While the photo is no longer on the pass, it still shows up on the screens at the entry turnstiles.)

Intéressant ! Merci.

Les travaux ont commencé!

On August 16, three days before the D23 Expo kicked off, Disney made an unexpected announcement on its official Disney Parks Blog for some Main Street, U.S.A. dining and shopping locations. Starting the next day on August 17, construction would begin in the Plaza Pavilion, converting the space into a new Mary Poppins-themed bakery-cafe. Rumors of the new location, named the Jolly Holiday Bakery Café, has been making the rounds in the Disney fan community for some time now, but it took the closing of the Annual Passholder Center to finally get Disney to make the formal announcement.


The new bakery is set to open in January 2012. It will be fantastic to once again have an operating dining location in the space after years of being closed or used as a simple Annual Passport Center. With the Plaza Pavilion being used for foodservice again, maybe it's also time for Disney to dust off the unused Aladdin's Oasis and bring back the Tahitian Terrace?


Signage on the construction walls announce the new dining location






The announcement also came with news of some notable changes at other Main Street dining locations. With a new bakery under construction, the current Blue Ribbon Bakery would no longer be needed once the the Jolly Holiday location opens in January. The removal of the Blue Ribbon will allow the Carnation Café to expand and offer an indoor dining space. This change is actually a return to how the location operated for decades before the Blue Ribbon Bakery moved in and made it an outdoor-only restaurant.




Bye-bye Blue Ribbon!


The current Blue Ribbon Bakery interior:


As the Disney Parks Blog noted, the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor and Candy Palace will also get some work done.


The ice cream parlor interior will be redesigned, hopefully fixing its frustrating crowd-flow problems. At peak times, the current parlor configuration often sees overflow ice cream queue stretching into the Blue Ribbon Bakery. With the Bakery becoming sit-down dining space, the current parlor's queue issues will need a fix.


Also on the list of upgrades is the display candy kitchen at the popular Candy Palace shop.


The on-stage kitchen is set to be expanded, and it'll be interesting to see how Disney manages to do this. The Candy Palace entryway is cramped as it is. Expanding the display kitchen suggests it will take over space currently used as a cash wrap, which can see significant lines when the park is busy.






The Disney Parks Blog didn't mention any changes at the Penny Arcade which is located between the Gibson Girl and Candy Palace. The Penny Arcade has already suffered from reduced floor space over the years as a large fudge and candy apple counter moved in, and a self-serve jelly bean display was installed. The Penny Arcade has significantly fewer vintage arcade machines than it did in its earlier years, and we hope that the Gibson Girl and Candy Palace reconfigurations don't compromise the space even more.




While it's important to address the operational needs of the incredibly popular ice cream parlor and candy shops, it's also important to maintain the Main Street show, which is supported by the individual identities of the shops, including the Penny Arcade with its vintage arcade offerings.

Okay, here is the game plan. Carnation Cafe is expanding into what is currently the Blue Ribbon Bakery. Because of that, the Blue Ribbon Bakery will be closing just before Halloween time. Due to this change, the wildly popular Ice Cream Parlor will be rearranged to accommodate their ever-long queue. And, since they are doing that, Candy Palace will be receiving some re-jiggering as well with an expanded kitchen and counter space. That leads us to Coke Corner which will likely be untouched. But where does that leave us if we want to grab a coffee AND a pastry? A new Mary Poppins themed, Jolly Holiday Bakery, will open in what was once the Plaza Pavilion. Which, of course means that annual pass processing had to be kicked out of that location. Passes are now processed at the ticket booths. Got all that? Okay. Let's see where things are.

Down Main Street, the interior of the Candy Palace and Penny Arcade are also now partially behind construction walls. The Candy Palace enhancement project isn't set to begin until January, but it looks like some early work may already be underway.




Walls in the back of the Penny Arcade:


The faux candy drawers that were filled with display taffy have now been emptied. Getting ready for big changes?


No visible work has started yet at the Jolly Holiday Bakery that's moving into the Plaza Pavilion.

The Jolly Holiday Bakery is expected to open early January, but the first visible sign of the new Marry Poppins theme can now be seen in the form of the building's new weathervane.


Definitely some great little details on the new weathervane, but wouldn't this be better suited for Fantasyland and not Main Street, U.S.A.?


Out front, the construction walls have been pushed back a bit to allow for some guest seating area during the busy holiday weeks ahead. Small construction wall boxes cover the spaces where the former "Plaza Pavillion" marquee stood.

JOLLY HOLIDAY BAKERY:

Something supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is about to open to the public. The Jolly Holiday bakery is inching ever closer to completion as walls continue to be pushed back. The brand new archway sign was revealed this week and instantly posted to the MiceChat Twitter feed here. Of course, we have the higher resolution pics for you now as well. A Mary Poppins weathervane now adorns the top of the building. Some think it would look better in Fantasyland, but, in person it really looks perfectly in scale with the rest of the area. It's all looking quite spit spot if you ask us.

Ouverture de Jolly Holiday Bakery Café le 04 ou 05 janvier 2012.

Mary makes the sun shine bright...

Then on January 4th or 5th the new Jolly Holiday Bakery will finally open. The interior maintains a similar layout to that this location has had since the early 1960’s, but the décor is quite expertly redone with lavish materials and finishes, as is par for the course with most WDI projects nowadays in Anaheim.

The nods to Mary Poppins are subtle but certainly noticeable, like the inlaid mosaic tiles at the head of the queue that looks like a sidewalk chalk drawing Bert may have done recreating the famous tea party scene from the movie. The bakery is purposely furnished with Edwardian era décor and design from 1901 to 1910, with antique gas stoves behind the serving line and early electric chandeliers and fixtures in the ceiling. There’s seemingly an acre of honey-blonde carved wood cabinetry, furniture and paneling, as was the emerging style in the Edwardian era of the early 1900’s.

WDI wanted to take the bakery’s story just a few years further than the slightly earlier and darker Victorian era décor of the Main Street USA story, not only to play to the correct Mary Poppins timeframe but also to help the bakery blend the Main Street USA environment into the amorphous Central Plaza’s mish mash of themes and exotic locales.

The new Jolly Holiday marquee went up last week and looks quite similar to the old Plaza Pavilion signage.




The red-white-and-blue string lights on the patio have been switched back to yellow and orange.

Jolly Holiday Bakery Café est ouvert! Attention, beaucoup de photos!!

Yes, the Jolly Holiday Bakery finally opened its doors on Main Street. The normal baked goods that one encountered at the Blue Ribbon Bakery can again be found here in the lighted display cases. But what makes this new location unique are the flourishes of Mary Poppins and the new lunch menu items. Most of which we have tried, and agree are great.
Upon entering the doorway, guests can choose to go to the left or right. The lines fan out then join back in the center of the room where visitors wait for the next available cashier. In the meantime they can soak in the luscious sights from the display case of goods in front of them.

The Jolly Holiday Bakery is a fine addition to Main Street, even though a little off in theme to turn-of-the-century USA. It still fits the visual aesthetic.As we mentioned before the sandwiches are particularly good. The Roast beef on Onion roll was great. It came with sautéed onions and a horseradish cream that was perfect. We will be returning for sure.

Enfin un bâtiment ayant pour thème ce merveilleux film ! Comme j'aimerai que Disneyland Paris puis faire la même chose !

La saison de Noël étant terminée et Jolly Holiday Bakery Café désormais ouvert, place aux travaux des autres points de restauration!

From Carnation Cafe on Center Street to Refreshment Corner at the top of Main Street, the entire north-western quadrant of the street is closed as major changes come to the area's dining and shopping locations.


Walls wrap around the Carnation Cafe's outdoor dining patio.


The Blue Ribbon Bakery is permanently closed now. The existing Carnation Cafe was the only remaining portion of Main Street's former Carnation Ice Cream Parlor after the Blue Ribbon Bakery moved into the interior portion of the Carnation location in 1997. With the new Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe open, the Blue Ribbon Bakery will once again become indoor dining space for the Carnation Cafe.




The current Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor is now closed for a remodel that is expected to address problematic crowd-flow issues in space.




The Penny Arcade is also closed...


...as well as its neighbor, the Candy Palace, which will receive a remodel and a new, expanded on-stage candy kitchen.




Next door, the Coca Cola Refreshment Corner is closed as well.

Encore plus de palissades ont fait leur apparition et ferment désormais entièrement tout le "block" nord-ouest de Main Street USA:



Some outdoor vending carts selling ice cream novelties have been parked in front of the Penny Arcade, near the closed Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor.


Walls surround the Refreshment Corner patio


With the Refreshment Corner patio closed, the Ragtime Piano has been relocated to the lower deck of the Mark Twain Riverboat.




It's a rare treat to enjoy live tunes aboard the Mark Twain, so if you're able to make it to the parks be sure to take advantage of this opportunity!

Additional figurines have been added to the display cases in Jolly Holiday Bakery Café's indoor queue






This change happened a few weeks ago, but the "Please Come Again" sign on the back of the Jolly Holiday's marquee has been changed to Bert's last line from the film, "Don't stay away too long!"


Over at the Carnation Cafe, work continues on that restaurant's expansion project.

Des bâches de travaux enveloppent désormais l'ancien Blue Ribbon Bakery qui poursuit sa transformation en vue de devenir un espace d'intérieur du Carnation Café.




Refreshment Corner continue sa rénovation.


http://micechat.com/blogs/dateline-disneyland/3324-minnie-takes-flight-buena-vista-facades-cars-land-construction-matterhorn-more.html

Refreshment Corner a réouvert et des bâches thématisées ont été installées sur le chantier d'agrandissement de Carnation Café.

CARNATION CAFE:
They have now installed a canvas with an image of the Carnation building, to hide construction. This is a nice touch borrowed from the Magic Kingdom in Florida.




REFRESHMENT CORNER:
Refreshment Corner is the first to return among the buildings in Main Street's north-western quadrant.

Le kiosk d'accueil (extérieur) du Carnation Café a disparu. Dans la nouvelle configuration du restaurant, il est probable que les visiteurs entreront par l'entrée de la section intérieure.

La nouvelle façade de l'ex Blue Ribbon Bakery se dévoile:





http://micechat.com/blogs/in-the-parks/3353-disneyland-resort-construction-wrapping-up-knotts-news-san-diego-zoo.html

The new paint job harkens back to the red-and-white color scheme the original Carnation Cafe had before its indoor space became the Blue Ribbon Bakery in the 1990s.




A look over the wall from reader Masterman626 shows that Disney has gone down to the dirt on this remodeling project.
