ANAHEIM, Calif. — Disneyland submitted confidential building permits to Anaheim for fresh construction along the parade route at Disney California Adventure, and the resort says only that it is working on enhancements nearby. A theme park news site first spotted the filings, which cover commercial construction and a retaining wall close to the Golden Vine House.
The Golden Vine House, once called Blue Sky Cellar, now serves as a Disney Vacation Club sales center in a small stand of grapevines at 777 W. Katella Ave. The newest permits use a neighboring unit number at that address, and two of the filings carry no public description. A permit filed in July covered a retaining wall roughly 16 feet high and 130 feet long, plus electrical work, on a hillside of grapevines and pines that lies between the Grizzly Peak waterfall and the Golden Vine House.
Park officials have not said what the project is. A Disneyland spokesperson told reporters that the park will share more about the enhancement at a later time. Fans and theme park sites have speculated that it could be a booth for the park’s food festivals along with extra patio seating cut into the hillside, though that has not been confirmed.
The timing fits the neighborhood. A new craft beer and food booth called Bountiful Valley Brews is under construction across the parade route, next to the Avengers Campus entrance. The Festival of Holidays food festival begins Friday, Nov. 13, and the new brewery is set to open Nov. 19. Disney California Adventure holds seasonal festivals from November to April, with winter holiday, Lunar New Year and California food themes and booths lining the parade route. One theme park site noted that the space the brewery now occupies once hosted festival booths and other attractions, which leaves less seating nearby.
The filings come amid other work at the Anaheim resort. Earlier this year crews tore down the east-side ticket booths at the shared entrance to the two parks, work that is part of DisneylandForward, the expansion initiative announced in 2024.
