  Monsters Inc is everywhere.. for being a soft opening its really being pushed.. I even saw a billboard along the I-5 on the way home.
  These are definitely new to tell people which tram stop is this way..
  Another Monsters Inc sign this time on the ticket booths

  Almost all signs of the holidays are gone..
  Now a series of shots around the Hollywood Studios portion of the backlot, some may be similiar to the 25th update, but most will be different, I think..

  Now a series of shots as I goof around with the camera. I wanted to try out of the burst mode, so here goes nothing..

  The spec to the left is bird, keep an eye on it..

  Really dumb luck that the bird flew right into the shot and nearly centered itself..
  

• Page Number: 22
  

  So that was my experiment, thought the result was fairly good..
  The Redwood Creek area is down for rehab so the characters were along the walkway for pictures
  Headed to the Grand Californian next.. heard a low rumbling sound as I approached the pool area.. could make out a lift through the trees (more shots later)
  

• Page Number: 23
  

  The arcade and health club are both closed as the area is remodeled
  Now into the Lobby. The painting appears to be done and temporary carpet is in.

  This shot came out too dark, but on the left is a curtain hiding equipment and on the right a row of plants hiding a hose that was being usesd to circulate freshened air. The machines were working you really could not smell the burned smell.. the air was slightly off, but not that bad really.
  The ceiling has been repainted
  Just a random shot of the front desk.
  

• Page Number: 25
  

  Went upstairs and looked outside you could see all the equipment..
  They are repainting the balconies (part of a regular rehab project I believe)
  

• Page Number: 26
  

  Quite a few lifts crammed into that small space
  A random shot of the pool area
  And looking at DCA

  Now some more lobby shots
  Everything looks back to normal up here
  

• Page Number: 28
  

  The wallpaper has been stripped off the 5th floor hallways and is being replaced
  Just liked this shot
  

• Page Number: 29
  

  Here you can see the area on the left blocked off, this is where the air equipment is.
  

• Page Number: 30
  

  Turn your head sideways this is one of the air machines.

  Now back to Disneyland.. the Firehouse band was near the entrance
  A random castle shot..
  Noticed the wind twisted one of the banners
  

• Page Number: 32
  

  The monorail had signs up warning you its a one way trip because of guest demand (seemed to me it was because only one train was running)
  Small World is being changed back to its regular show
  

• Page Number: 33
  

  Walls up around Goofys backyard (which is the queue area for his bounce house)

  Tried to get a shot over the fence, not much is visible

  The Reindeer Round-up is gone and the ranch is closed again
  The Turkey area is still there with the sign, but no sign of Marshmellow or Yam..

  Wonder if they will ever fix this area up where the tree came down last year
  A sight I have not seen in a long long time, real fish in the pond
  

• Page Number: 37
  

  A couple shots of the sub lagoon (check out the Construction Progress section for more shots in a day or two)
  Is this a new sign at the Monorail exit..
  

• Page Number: 38
  

  Thought it would be interesting to see if with my new zoom lense if I could make out the pictures in this mural.. so here is is zoomed out
  and here it is all the way in (and this is a 70-300 lens)
  Wonder why you cannot go to this area anymore.. the last several trips its been roped off. This is the dock directly across from Big Thunday (next to the Mark Twain dock)..

  A random Tower shot
  A DVC cart out on the walkway to Tower, across from the Hyperion queue.. I think there are now 4 or 5 of these around the resort.. seems like a lot to me, but I guess they must be selling the timeshares to keep on adding carts
  Tinkerbell on the Smoothie Menu (a couple updates ago we spotted her on a menu out in the Wharf area too.
  

• Page Number: 46
  

  There was a screen set up in the Napa Rose.. there was some sort of Private Party going on.

  The attraction broke down before we got on and we bailed out instead of waiting longer
  Just liked the shot of the cube firework
  Now to close out a couple snow shots (thought it was funny to see snow considering it was in the upper 80s when I arrived and still in the upper 60s now that is was close to 10pm)
