    And Star Wars land at Disneyland will NOT replace Toontown. Just Big Thunder Ranch and the backstage area north of it. That makes me happy as we love it back there.

    So, I am not all up on my Disneyland areas. Is Big Thunder Ranch where they keep the animals and the location of that restaurant?

    Yes, basically. It is often the location of special holiday themed events, like Halloween pumpkin carvings and the reindeer at Christmas. It is where the petting zoo is. Word is the animals will be relocated. Perhaps to Critter Country, which would be more appropriate, theme wise.

    Yes, where. the Big Thunder Ranch Barbecue is, which I will dearly miss. Such yummy comfort food! We're making it a point to eat there in a few weeks to say goodbye. Hopefully the animals will be relocated, along with somehow to continue the special meet and greets and activities they did back there.

    There will be walls .... Disney CA Adventure had walls everywhere while they rebuilt and moved the main entrance, created Buena Vista Street, built the Carthay Circle theater and Cars Land. There may be a few "tunnels" to get to certain attractions. In CA I believe they were able to keep everything open and accessible that wasn't directly involved in the renovations.

    The map discussion was much easier to follow after I got the artist rendering and current park map side-by-side to follow along.

    Yes, I remember that time period. I felt bad for people who were on vacation.

    IIRC, they also lowered the admission price for DCA while all that construction was going on.
