Capturing Disneyland: Closing Attractions [Photo Series]

In early January, several beloved attractions at the Disneyland Resort closed for both renovations as well as to begin construction for the highly anticipated Star Wars-themed land.

For many Disney enthusiasts, the week leading to the closures was a bittersweet time. For me, experiencing them with the knowledge that they won’t be here, both temporarily and permanently, made me reflect and appreciate these attractions more. Here are some of these attractions’ final moments before the January 11th closure.

In the South Land there’s a city

Way down on the river

Where the women are very pretty

And all the men deliver

They got music

It’s always playin’

Start in the day time, go all through the night

Jungle Cruise

There it is ladies and gentlemen, the backside of water!

Ahhhh, salaam and good evening, weary travelers.  Headed towards Agrabah, are we?  Well, let me help you pass the time with a tale. The desert night hides a thousand stories! Ah, the Cave of Wonders.  The setting of one of our most famous legends.  The tale of the magic lamp.
