A major renovation of Disney California Adventure will remake the Anaheim theme park’s main entrance into Buena Vista Street. When the esplanade reopens in 2012, the shops and restaurants along the re-themed promenade will pay homage to the Los Angeles that Walt Disney encountered upon his 1923 arrival.
