Disney Covers Original Adventureland Area With Construction, No Project Announced

Scaffolding and scrim have wrapped around one of the most familiar landmarks in Adventureland at Disneyland Park, and Disneyland Resort has offered no explanation for what’s being done to it.

The Adventureland Bazaar Disappears Behind Barriers

WDWNT reported on August 6 that nearly the entire exterior facade of the Adventureland Bazaar merchandise location had been enclosed in scrim and scaffolding. The outlet shared a photo documenting the scale of the construction presence, which includes wooden plank barriers surrounding the portions of scaffolding that theme park guests could otherwise reach from the walkway.

Signs posted on the barriers direct guests to the open entrance, noting that “Your Excursion Supplier” continues to sell clothing, sundries, and gear despite the activity on the outside.

The Adventureland Bazaar is still open and operating normally inside. The merchandise location shows no signs of interior disruption, and no upcoming closures are listed on the Disneyland Resort operational calendar. Whatever work is underway on the exterior doesn’t appear to be affecting the shopping experience for Disney Park guests.

Disneyland Resort made no announcement about the project and has not commented publicly on the construction — a consistent pattern for exterior refurbishment work that doesn’t force a temporary closure or meaningfully disrupt operations.

Questions That Remain Unanswered

The scope of the project hasn’t been defined. Whether the Adventureland Bazaar’s most distinctive exterior features — including its iconic painted sign and signature archway entrance — will eventually be obscured by construction materials as the work progresses remains unclear. The current barriers already cover a significant portion of the building’s facade, but how far the project will ultimately extend remains unaddressed.

Disneyland Resort has also not indicated whether the store’s interior will remain untouched throughout the refurbishment or whether the work will eventually expand to include phased interior construction — a common approach Disney has used at merchandise locations elsewhere in its parks.
