PHOTOS: Former Blue Sky Cellar Surrounded by Construction Walls to Become DVC Welcome Center in Disney California Adventure

The former Walt Disney Imagineering Blue Sky Cellar at Disney California Adventure is now surrounded by construction walls to become a new Disney Vacation Club “Welcome Home Center,” which Disney announced last month.

Blue Sky Cellar first opened in the park’s original Golden State area, which was comprised of six sub-areas, including the former Pacific Wharf (now San Fransokyo Square and Performance Corridor). The offering opened in 2008 as a replacement for Seasons of the Vine. On and off for the next several years, Blue Sky Cellar would feature exhibits about upcoming lands and attractions, like The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure, Cars Land, and lastly Pixar Pier.

Blue Sky Cellar has not been used since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020.

The walls run right next to the stairs leading up to Wine Country Trattoria and Magic Key Terrace.

Disney Imagination Campus used to utilize Blue Sky Cellar but is moving into the Beast’s Library at Sorcerer’s Workshop. As such, the Beast’s Library is now closed.
