Disneyland’s Gibson Girl & Penny
Arcade/Candy Palace Has Reopened!
The
Gibson Girl & Candy Palace have been closed since just after the first of
the year for remodeling. It is part of a major upgrade to Disneyland’s Main
Street. The Carnation Café is still closed but should be reopening soon.
I found the changes subtle. They
maintained the general feel but gave the entire area a more open feel and a
better flow of traffic. Gibson Girl expanded its counter service area. There
are fewer tables to sit at in the Gibson Girl and the giant Green Elephant that
was part of the back of the shop seating area is gone. As is the entire back
shop seating. I do hope it found a good new home or finds one soon.
Over
the years there have been many changes made in the Penny Arcade. As the years
have gone on there are fewer antique picture machines and other antique arcade machines.
Esmeralda is still at the main entrance to the Penny Arcade to give your fortune
for a quarter.
The
lighting has been changed throughout the area. It is still of the classic turn
of last century look but if you look closer you will see Disney has gone green
and uses high efficiency lightbulbs.
