Disneyland Removes Iconic Statue
Inside The Magic shared that the iconic bronze statue was removed from Disneyland earlier this week. The statue is titled "Partners," and it features the iconic Walt Disney and his infamous creation, Mickey Mouse.
The statue is a Disney staple, and the outlet shared that it can be spotted at Disneyland Park, Magic Kingdom Park, Tokyo Disneyland, Walt Disney Studios Park, and the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California.
Disneyland California Park got their own version of the statue in 2012. Their statue was titled "Storytellers." The outlet shared that "the statue depicts Walt as he arrived in California from Missouri in 1923, with Mickey Mouse standing by his side on a trunk."
However, this week, when guests entered the park, they noticed that the famous Disneyland statue was no longer visible. Instead, beige-colored construction walls surrounded the statue's location.
Currently, Disneyland has not shared any details regarding the closing of this beloved statue. However, the outlet did share that bronze naturally oxidizes. Therefore, it could be safe to assume that the statue just needs some in-depth maintenance and cleaning.
With no "re-opening" day listed by Disney, guests can only hope and assume that the statue will be cared for and visible again soon. In addition to this statue, Disneyland has also shut down various other attractions for maintenance.
For example, their monorail system is currently down for refurbishment. Additionally, the beloved and infamous Jungle Cruise ride is getting a facelift as well. Although limited details have been provided on all of the closures. This leaves Disney fans wondering if there are just some minor mechanical updates or if they will notice any changes to rides and attractions once they reopen.
