Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos taking a quick look at the he Smokejumpers Grill which opened on Friday March 20, 2015.
I have an extended look plus my full pictures set on my site. This dining location replaced the Taste Pilot’s Grill. The full project Grizzly Peak Airfield conversion from Condor Flats is not scheduled to be completed until summer. They will be opening pieces as they are finished.
Approaching the new grill from Carthay Circle.
Heading toward the front door.
A menu preview posted outside.
The board on the opposite side of the entrance (this would be the left side as you enter)
A closer look at what is posted.
Heading inside. Looking toward the ordering area. The configuration is the same as before, just new props, paint, etc… so seating is to the left and right. Cash registers and food pickup straight ahead.
Looking to the left some of the props above the seating area and on the wall.
The menu is more or less the same. Some new names and a couple tweaks but your standard burgers and chicken remain.
Thought the True Life Adventure movie posters were great.
The seating area to the right of the registers
The Bearpaw Basin patches and logos are throughout
The outdoor dining on the Soarin’ side is still being worked on. So the door and windows are covered.
Walking outside. This is where the engine used to be.
I walked by again after dark to see the lights and get some more detailed shots of the interior.
A closer look at some of the props around the dining spaces.
I thought the model planes were a great touch.
A closer look at the boards in the back of the seating area.
Hope you enjoyed this first look at the new Smokejumpers Grill in Disney California Adventure. For additional photos and details from this trip you can check out the full Disneyland Update I posted on my site, http://disneygeek.com Also be sure to follow me on twitter @disneygeekcom for pictures from the parks.
In the photo with the posters by the entrance, one of them says Camp Inch at the top. That is the name of the camp from the original Parent Trap. Is that an ad for that camp or is it something else (and just a coincidence in that the name matches)?

Carrie – There are quite a few Disney movie references throughout. The Imagineers did a great job with the props. I can’t wait to see the changes to the rest of the airfield. They featured pictures of quite a few camps around the dining areas so I think it is just one of many featured.
