As a part of their ongoing refurbishment, new themed scrims have been added at both Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe in Disneyland Park and Elias & Co. in Disney California Adventure.
Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe
As we previously reported earlier this month, Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe has closed for a refurbishment. The entire building was wrapped in construction walls, and metal scaffolding was erected around the roof.
When we reported on January 8, the scaffolding was uncovered and remained visible to guests walking nearby. Now, all of the scaffolding for the ongoing refurbishment has been covered in some themed scrims. The past few weeks have been exceptionally windy at Disneyland Park, so it is likely that construction crew members waited to add the themed scrim until the weather became less blustery.
The scrims are painted to look like the original facade of the building, with the windows and name of the cafe in their usual locations. Several of the bakery’s popular items, including the breakfast croissant, have been added to the next-door Refreshment Corner menu. Disney has not announced an anticipated length for the refurbishment or a reopening date.
Elias & Co.
Over at Disney California Adventure, the winds have also calmed enough for scrims to be added to the scaffolding of Elias & Co. Construction work on the facade of the building also began in early January.
Like the bakery, the metal scaffolds in front of the building were left open during our previous visit. Now, the painted scrims match the usual look of the building and hide the ongoing repair work.
Elias & Co. is still open for guests to enter and browse; only the facade is currently under construction. A hole between the yellow construction walls has been left open near the store’s front entrance for guests to enter and exit.
