Storytellers’ Walt and Mickey Statue at Disney California Adventure Walled Off With No Return Date

Installed in 2012 on Buena Vista Street, the bronze tribute has no stated reason for its closure.

Overview

  • A February 24 photo from WDWNT shows beige construction walls completely enclosing the sculpture, removing it from public view.
  • Disneyland Resort has not announced a reason or a timeline for when the statue will be on display again.
  • Located near Carthay Circle on Buena Vista Street, the 2012 bronze depicts Walt’s 1923 arrival and has counterparts at Tokyo DisneySea and Shanghai Disneyland.
  • Some outlets suggest the enclosure could signal restoration work due to bronze oxidation, but no explanation has been confirmed.
  • One report cites a 2020 refurbishment, a detail not corroborated by an official Disneyland Resort statement.
