The resort has been seeing some major issues with pipes. We have been following the work being done in Adventureland from a burst pipe near the entrance. The restrooms have been closed and the construction walls have been growing! Currently there is a small pathway in front of the Tiki Juice Bar to allow guests in and out of the land. Last week, a different pipe burst under the Storytellers Cafe dining room! The resurant had to be cleared and some reservations cancelled. Crews were called in and had to dig a hold to address the issue! Currently one side of the dining room is open. – https://www.micechat.com/363640-disneyland-update-crowd-crush-pipes-pop-holiday-happenings/
