Following the attraction's opening around noon, the line moved off Main Street, but still ranged between two to four hours throughout the day.

Little Mermaid

Also on Thursday, Disney officially opened the new Little Mermaid attraction in California Adventure. The event included a live performance by the voice of Ariel herself, Jodi Benson along with Sherie Rene Scott who portrays Ursula in Broadway's "The Little Mermaid" show. Also in attendance was the original voice of Ursula, actress Pat Carroll.

Following Thursday's grand opening, the rush to experience the new attraction was felt Friday morning as eager guests filled a massive extended queue that wound its way throughout Paradise Park, along Grizzly Trail and into the park's entryway, Sunshine Plaza.

New Pool area opening this weekend at Disneyland Hotel

By

 

The new pool area is finaly complete and joins Tangaroa Terrace and Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tki Bar that opend earlier this week.

Classic Disneyland marque combined with replica monorail trains creates an experience that is both fun and nostalgic. According to the Disney Parks Blog, also comming to the pool area is a new D-Ticket themed pond. Guests will enjoy finding the subtle D-Tickets in the pool, which are reminiscent of the ticket books that were used in old Disneyland back in the day. This will be followed in late 2011 by an E-Ticket themed pool, in the area which previously featured the Never Land pool.

The new pool space will also include Mickey and Minnie themed spas located at opposite ends of the pool area. Also, when the pool area is completed, six new cabanas will be available, featuring flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, safes, phones and ceiling fans.

Below is a video that shows VP of Resorts and Downtown Disney, Tony Bruno, talking about the new pool area, as well as dining locations, and the new Fairy Tale and Big Thunder Suites.  They recently joined the Mickey Mouse Penthouse and Pirates of the Caribbean suites.
