The Radio Disney booth has been removed, and the new Autopia store is being built...

Plus a look at the Sub Lagoon before the Monorail closes....

So, do you think the tarps were for shade or are they trying to hide something?

Thanks so much for the pictures.

wow, I remember standing in front of the Radio Disney booth a looong time ago and those 2 crazy DJ's waving to me. Then I met them in line for lunch.

then there's the monorail.

bigger, and better changed have come to the Disneyland resort. thanks for those pics. I just can't believe that the booth and the monorails are both changing...

Let me be the first to say "good riddance" to the Radio Disney booth. It's not that I didn't like Just Plain Mike and Zippy, but it really never belonged there. Still, it is too bad it will be converted into a shop. I mean, jeez, bring back the subs, and you just can't part with your precious Autopia shop, can you? Ah well, at least it will be open. It should be interesting how a shop will fit in there anyways.

Kudos for the update and great shots DB, as usual.

Thanks for the update. I saw those construction walls up on Monday but I had forgotten my camera. Thanks for the info - I had wondered what was going on behind there.

Does anybody know if the contract with Chevron requires a shop? I just imagine Autopia being such a hot item and the location seems sort of odd.

The exit ramp for Autopia is scheduled to be moved so it ends around where the path to the Railroad starts, to get away from the Sub Lagoon stuff (basically the last half of the exit ramp being turned into a U-Turn..)

That puts the exit close to the new shop.....

Awesome pictures as usual!! Thanks for the update.
I feel like I haven't been in forever because I haven't even seen the walls hiding the construction going on.

This makes more sense, the ODV popcorn cart in Tomorrowland was missing on Sunday. Thanks for the pictures Darkbeer.

Oh goodie. Have you got any idea when that might happen? And d'you suppose it will make for some Autopia closures in the near future?

I remember that Radio Disney booth! It was always used in 98'.

Gosh, before Radio Disney came along that location used to be the Lunching Pad. It served the infamous *Space Mist*, which was just a fancy way of saying fruit punch. It also served pop corn, ice cream bars, Twinkies, and sandwiches.

My sister worked there for 2 years as a Lead and I used to go there a lot for snacks in-between seeing stage shows at the Space Stage (now HISTA). Yep, those were the good 'ol days! =)

I thought that the Autopia shop was going into the hatmosphere and the hatmosphere was going into the radio disney booth?

I am a bit interested to see what all these remakes end up making the land look like

Tomorrowland still looks increadibly disconnected though I hope this helps unify the land more

the area were Space sits is just hideous

Re: The Radio Disney Booth has been removed, and other photos from 8/16/06

I don't get it... I thought the booth was taken out a few years ago. I mean I saw the pictures with the actual space being torn up but wasn't the stuff inside removed a few years ago? I know it hasn't broadcasted there for years.

Radio Disney booth makes sense to me for a new Hatmosphere.

Re: The Radio Disney Booth has been removed, and other photos from 8/16/06

I also read an article that Radio Disney=Hatmosphere and Hatmosphere=Autopia shop. THIS makes more sense to me than RD=AS. Besides, Hatmosphere sits inbetween Autopia & its FP. You'd have a sort of mini-Autopia land there . I have always wanted the Autopia exit ramp to make that U-turn. It didn't seem right to me as it is now.

Welcome to Disneyland's new land... ConstructionLand! Kids love it! ) I'm just happy that they are finally doing something about Tomorrowland.

Thanks again for another delightful round of pics, Dark Beer!!!

Wow, the sub lagoon is quickly turning into the sub grotto. I sure hope they know what they are doing. It seems something that big would be out of place in such a small area, but we'll have to wait and see.

When did RadioDisney stop broadcasting from TL, I only saw it open once in August 2000. And can't remember anytime else. Wasn't there some tables down in the area around it.

Not that it bothers me, but is the area around Autopia and Autopia queues, which will be revised, are they going to be repainted during this brief change.
