Elysian Arcade
One of the cues that Buena Vista Street has taken from the Main Streets of Disney's Magic Kingdoms is the concept of a continuous indoor walking path that allows guests to bypass the main outdoor thoroughfare during periods of high traffic, such as during a parade, or during bad weather. At California Adventure, this has manifested in Elysian Arcade, a pedestrian avenue harkening back to the old shopping promenades of the 1920's--complete with its own store directory.
It's the friendly, inviting sheltering spaces of Buena Vista Street that make this new entrance area such a nice place to stroll through. The cozy nooks and niches break down the exterior plan and provide a cozy scale that supports the theme of Disney California Adventure's new entrance area. It beckon exploration, and believe me, there are plenty of details to find!

Very cool. I didn't even know this existed! I really love the arcades running along Main Street at Disneyland Paris, so it's great that this has been integrated into California Adventure.
