Several people walk along a pathway under a clear blue sky at what appears to be New Orleans Square or another outdoor venue. Some carry umbrellas for shade, and construction barriers with advertisements are visible to the right.

Guests can once again fully loop Disneyland Park, as the path between Bayou Country and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has reopened with a brand-new look.

Bayou Country and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Path

A group of people walk outside a large, mansion-like building in a wooded area on a sunny day, reminiscent of the stunning architecture found near the New Orleans Square Entrance at Disneyland.

For the first time since July 8, guests can walk between The Haunted Mansion and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Previously, guests were turned away by construction walls that blocked access to the path in front of the newly named Bayou Country.

A crowd of people is waiting in front of a set of kiosks beneath large trees in Disneyland’s New Orleans Square. Some hold umbrellas for shade while others stand in line. There's a wooden deck area with striped canopies overhead, evoking the ambiance perfectly.

Guests can now walk along the path in front of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and the loading area for the newly reopened Davy Crockett’s Explorer Canoes.

From there, guests can make their way in front of the bottom level of Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree. The restaurant, which is set to replace Hungry Bear Restaurant with Country Bear Jamboree theming, isn’t open yet.

The bridge portion of the pavement that is meant to look like wood has been touched up, though it hasn’t been replaced.

However, as we continued our walk, we discovered brand-new pavement made to look like dirt.

A group of people stroll on a sunny day near a wooden fence and rocks with trees in the background, enjoying the scenic walkway open in Critter Country.

This section of the walkway leads past the “secret” path to Harbour Galley which has yet to reopen. Wooden construction walls still block off the area.

The new path eventually gives way to the gray walkway that leads in front of Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree and eventually to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. While construction walls still block Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, it seems as though this dirty pavement will extend into that area.

Continuing down the path, we got a great look at the new Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree sign. The new iteration of the sign features much more colorful wording than the old sign did.

Guests can now sit at tables beneath the upstairs section of Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree. However, the stairs that lead to the upstairs dining area of the restaurant remain blocked by wooden walls.

A portable charger rental kiosk is set against a wall in Critter Country, offering ready-to-use, swappable, and rechargeable chargers. Nearby, high chairs are stacked to the right, ensuring the walkway remains open.

Finally, the FuelRod machine near the stairs is operating once again.
