Just as the Grand Californian private theme park entrance to Disney California Adventure reopened, Disney has announced that its other private hotel entrance to the park near Pixar Place Hotel will be temporarily closed. This entrance, located across the street from the Pixar Place Hotel, will be closed starting today through mid-June for construction to install the new entry gates. Right now, there aren't any turnstiles to enter at this location, as the process is just that a Cast Member scans your ticket after you go through security.
Disney shared that during this closure, guests can use the newly reopened Grand Californian's private theme park entrance located near GCH Craftsman Bar and Grill. This is a slightly further walk for Pixar Place Hotel guests, as you have to cut through the hotel to get to this entrance.
This batch of new entry gates will be the final installation at the resort for this project, as all of the other theme park entrances across the resort are utilizing this new system.

Disney Defends THUNDERBOLTS* Spoiler Reveal of THE NEW AVENGERS; Says Fans Actually Liked It — GeekTyrant
Marvel fans who hit theaters opening weekend for Thunderbolts* got the full payoff after months of speculation on what that sneaky little asterisk meant. It turns out, the team introduced in the movie is officially The New Avengers in the MCU, a reveal held back until the film's final scenes… only for Marvel to drop the twist in its marketing just a couple days later. As you know, that didn't sit well with a lot of fans. I saw so many complints about that. But, Disney believes that they made the right marketing move, and that fans actually liked it. Speaking with Empire, Ryan Stankevich, Disney's SVP of Marketing, addressed the controversy over the spoiler-heavy promotional materials that rolled out post-release: 'Discourse is a great part of the Marvel fan experience. For as many people who complained, we saw a large percentage say they thought it was really clever. Some people also complained we didn't do *The New Avengers with a 'z'! But we welcome healthy debate.' Yeah, I'd say the fans that already saw the movie where the ones that thought the marketing was clever because it didn't hurt their movie-going experience. The studio rebranded the movie as *The New Avengers on posters and promo assets shortly after Thunderbolts opened, a move that many saw as premature, especially considering Marvel's usual spoiler-free grace period on social channels. Fans who missed opening weekend understandably felt blindsided. In the film, the twist unfolds near the end after the Sentry situation spirals out of control, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine publicly spins her ragtag group of heroes, Yelena, Red Guardian, U.S. Agent, Bucky, Ghost, and Bob, into heroes by branding them the 'New Avengers.' It's a big PR move for her. The post-credits scene then reveals Sam Wilson is putting together his own real Avengers team… and he's not thrilled. A lot of Marvel fans hoping for a surprise in the theater got a Marvel-branded reminder… nothing's sacred when the marketing machine kicks in.

Disney+ series showrunner denies hit ‘Star Wars' show is a ‘left-wing' political story
'Andor' series showrunner Tony Gilroy said Thursday he does not believe his 'Star Wars' series is 'left-wing.' In an interview with New York Times columnist Ross Douthat on his podcast 'Interesting Times,' Gilroy denied that he wrote the show to represent a left-wing revolution against fascist authoritarians. Advertisement 'I never think about it that way. It was never- I mean, I never do. I don't,' Gilroy declared in response to Douthat asking if he agreed the show is a 'left-wing work of art.' The second season of the critically acclaimed series debuted on Disney+ in April. It follows the adventures of Cassian Andor, a key player in the rebellion against the Galactic Empire. He was a main character in the hit 2016 movie 'Rogue One.' Advertisement The show, which lasted two seasons, provides a dark and realistic depiction about how individuals band together to resist a creeping authoritarian government that uses deception, censorship and violence to cement its own power. 4 The second season of 'Star Wars' series 'Andor' released on Disney+ in April. The cast of the 2nd season sat down for an interview on April 14th. Getty Images for Disney In the interview, Douthat said he believes Gilroy's depiction of the rebellion against the empire in the series is distinctly left-wing. While introducing his guest, he said, 'The 'Star Wars' serial 'Andor' has somehow managed to pull off originality within the constraints of a familiar franchise, pleasing obsessive fans and critics alike. Part of its originality is that it has an explicitly political and, to my mind, left-wing perspective on its world, without feeling at all like tedious propaganda.' Advertisement Gilroy admitted the work was political in that it was inspired by his fascination with revolutions in world history. 4 Tony Gilroy (left) told New York Times columnist Ross Douthat that his show is not explicitly 'left-wing.' Interesting Times with Ross Douthat 'The canvas that was being offered was just a wildly abundant opportunity to use all of the nonfiction and all the history and all the amateur reading that I'd done over the past 40 years and all the things I was fascinated by, all the revolution stuff that not only I would never have a chance to do again, but I really wondered if anybody else would ever have a chance to do again,' he said. Elsewhere, he told Douthat that he was particularly inspired by dictatorships throughout history, like Italian dictator Benito Mussolini's regime. Advertisement 'I want to pay as much attention to the authoritarian side of this, the people who've cast their lot with the empire, who get burned by it all,' he said. 4 The ''Andor' showrunner revealed the inspiration behind the show in an onstage interview.

'But it's a story, but it's a political story about revolutionary ––' the conservative columnist protested. Gilroy interjected, 'Do you identify with the Empire? Do you identify with the Empire?' 'No, I don't,' Douthat said. 'But I don't think that you have to be left-wing to resist authoritarianism. I see the Empire as you just described it: It's presented as a fascist institution that doesn't have any sort of communist pretense to solidarity or anything like that. It's fascist and authoritarian, and you're meditating on what revolutionary politics looks like in the shadow of all that.'
