Much of the scaffolding and scrim in Pacific Wharf at Disney California Adventure has come down, revealing new San Fransokyo Square theming.

We earlier reported on the Baymax theming outside the Pacific Wharf restrooms.

There’s an arrow with Japanese characters under a painted “Boudin Bakery Tour” sign, and more above this awning.

At the top of this building is an advertisement for WyndSynch, a clean technology company. There are blue koi fish balloons painted on the façade.

The refreshment stand will be at the corner of Pacific Wharf, as seen in this recently released concept art. It’s owned by and named after the repair technician who maintains the floating wind turbine, resembling a giant koi fish, that sits atop the structure.

The Pacific Wharf bridge was recently painted International Orange. It will eventually get torii gate towers to become the San Fransokyo Gate Bridge.

Across the bridge, scrim covers the façade of Embarcadero Gifts. The gift shop remains open.

The view across the wharf hasn’t changed much in recent weeks.

One of the new mural ads on this side is for the Port of San Fransokyo Cervecería, which will open in mid-July.
