Disney Trip Report: Rivers, Paradise Pier additions - Around Disney

Around Disney's Trip Report takes a look at what's new at the Disneyland Resort. This week's trip report highlights a new bridge in Frontierland, the drained river in Disneyland, the continuing progress on California Adventure's $1 billion expansion project and more. Click on the photos for larger images.

The bridge connecting Disneyland's "Hub" to Frontierland has reopened with a new design.

As the Rivers of America is still drained, so are a few of the other waterways in the park, including this one near the Carnation Plaza Gardens.

A view from the top of Tarzan's Treehouse in Adventureland shows the drained Rivers of America.

Disneyland's Rivers of America, the river that winds around Tom Sawyer's Island and hosts the Mark Twain Riverboat, was emptied for refurbishment.

The renovation will be the first time the river was last drained in 2003 and it will be finished my May. All the river attractions are closed, but will reopen again when the refurbishment is complete.

Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen from "The Princess and the Frog" are no longer meeting guests at the New Orleans' Court des Anges. Instead, Princess Tiana can be found at the Princess Fantasy Faire Meet and Greet in Fantasyland. The Court des Anges is currently vacant.

Photos show the progress on California Adventure's $1 billion expansion project. This building is going to be a part of a Little Mermaid themed attraction. CLICK HERE to see a video previewing the new attraction.

In Paradise Park, a new boardwalk has been put into place.

The Golden Zephyr attraction is closed for refurbishment.

Construction crews work on building trellises that will provide shade for guests during the day.

Silly Symphony Swings is closer to it's spring debut. Silly Symphony Swings is a restyling of the former Orange Stinger attraction, which suspends guests in swings that twirl around in circles.

Lighting and speakers have also been placed along the walkways in Paradise Pier.
