PHOTOS: Check out the Construction Updates for Disneyland Resort
It may be summer and the middle of peak tourist season at the Disney parks, but there is a lot of construction going on, especially in Disneyland.
From area expansions to attraction updates and everything in between, construction teams are working hard this summer to update your favorite attractions and experiences.

We are bringing you new photos and videos of the most recent changes happening at Disneyland right now.
New Orleans Square and Critter Country Construction Updates
Get ready, because some truly thrilling changes are on the horizon for this area of Disneyland, and we can’t wait to share them with you.
Critter Country is now temporarily closed, and we can see the gradual transformation of Splash Mountain into the new attraction, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

As we walked around this popular area of the park, we noticed that construction walls were up, blocking the view and work happening behind-the-scenes.
As you can see, there is plenty of work being done!
The walls also went up this past week in front of Harbour Galley, the quick service location in Critter County.
Haunted Mansion closed at the beginning of this year. You can see that construction continues at the fan-favorite ride as the workers create an extended queue and a new gift shop.

Updates!
Hungry Bear Restaurant is now temporarily closed for kitchen refurbishments. The dining location and the restrooms below are also closed.
(The pathway is highlighted in red on the map below.)
In addition to these changes, it appears Disneyland will be adding new pavement in Critter Country, and the Briar Patch store will be rethemed to Ray’s Berets.
