  Looks like there was some filming in Downtown Disney earlier today. Some equipment back behind barriers.
  Long lines at security this afternoon.
  Wonder if they will ever redo the Esplanade and security areas to make them permanent. This is a poor first impression to get off the tram and find all these temporary barriers.

  Disneyland waits around 1:40pm
  My idea of ideal snow.. just look at it and not have to live in it. Today was a picture perfect Southern California day with temps in the mid 80s when I arrived and not a hint of a cloud in the sky.

  No real demand for hot beverages this afternoon.
  The Dole Whip stand has reopened and its lines were long as usual.

  The line stretched all the way to the Tiki Room exit.

  Here you can see the train has water weights on board for testing.
  Stopped by the Big Thunder Ranch. They have reconfigured it a bit and cleared the area by the gate. Guessing to allow easier access for event setup/cleanup.

  The plan for Fantasmic was some video of the opening then stills later on. The show was stopped because the water screens did not come. It was then cancelled. Here is some video of the opening featuring the new fountains and you can see the projectors come on but no screens at the end.
