Overview
- The construction, which was first reported May 20, includes wooden walls along the path to Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree and visible site work such as dismantled flowerbed fencing, a parked digger, and green scrim.
- Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree remains open and serving its full menu with in-person and Mobile Ordering while nearby rides like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh continue to operate.
- Disneyland Resort has not given any public explanation or timeline for the work, so it is unclear whether crews are doing landscaping and maintenance or preparing a broader redesign of the Bayou Country area.
- Guest-facing mitigation is in place on the barriers, including signs that read “Our Grill Is Open. Come On In!” and bear-themed lanterns to keep the area welcoming after dark.
- The activity draws extra attention because Bayou Country was rethemed from Critter Country in 2024 after Splash Mountain became Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, so park-watchers will look for official updates that could signal further changes to the neighborhood.
