Scaffolding in Frontierland at Disneyland Park
In early September, Southern California Disney Park guests arrived to find scrim-covered scaffolding on the roof of a stretch of shops in Frontierland, including Pioneer Mercantile and Bonanza Outfitters. The construction equipment did not impact the store entrances or extend to any other guest areas.
Disneyland Resort did not acknowledge the project, which isn’t surprising. Both merchandise locations remained open and operational throughout the construction, which appears to have ended on Wednesday.
Construction Equipment Removed
On September 16, WDWNT reported that Disneyland Resort had removed the scaffolding from the roofs of Pioneer Mercantile and Bonanza Outfitters in Frontierland. The outlet shared this photo of the refurbished facades on social media:
There do not appear to have been any visible changes to the Pioneer Mercantile and Bonanza Outfitters in Frontierland at Disneyland Park. Most likely, Disney cast members needed access to the roofs for maintenance, and Disneyland Resort did not want theme park guests to see the construction.
This is just one of many recent refurbishment projects in Frontierland at Disneyland Park. Both the Frontierland Shootin’ Exposition and the Mark Twain Riverboat recently reopened from their own refurbishments, while Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island closed for maintenance earlier this week. The interactive island attraction is currently scheduled to reopen on Thursday, September 17, but Disneyland Resort’s website encourages guests to “check back” for updates on the refurbishment timeline.
Scrim and construction walls also recently appeared around Rancho Del Zocalo Restaurante’s patio and courtyard. Although much less decorated, the restaurant remains open. It’s unclear how long this refurbishment will last.
