  • Page Number: 1
    Work continues on the Disneyland Railroad
    Main Street is nice and quiet this morning (everyone is rushing to their first attraction of the day)
    The tarp is still up on the roof
  • Page Number: 2
    All the walls in the queue are down
    The days are really flying by now..
    All the walls along the monorail queue are down too (for several more shots of the lagoon be sure to check out the Construction progress section on Monday morning)
  • Page Number: 3
    The tarps around Monstro are down, and he looks good as new
    Mr. Toad is open again too (I did not go for a spin)
  • Page Number: 4
    A peaceful walk through an empty Big Thunder trail
    A look out to the Island, where we are heading
    NOS is completely back to normal, the Premiere is long gone (even though it was only a week ago)
  • Page Number: 5
    The first raft of the morning, the Island opened at 8:30
  • Page Number: 6
    They are expecting a rather long wait it appears

    Here comes the raft back to get us
  • Page Number: 8
  • Page Number: 9
    Now we head into the cave
  • Page Number: 10
    Davy Jones chest
    A look into a treasure area
    Notice the diary
  • Page Number: 11
    If you try to reach in you learn the treasure is guarded
    Another treasure in the next area
  • Page Number: 12
    When you reach your hand in this one it disappears
    The next window has a projection of a pirate taking the treasure
  • Page Number: 13
    The last room is a bit dark, but here you can make out a figure sleeping in the corner
  • Page Number: 14
    Back outside now on the other side of the Island
  • Page Number: 15
    There are quite a few new signs up around to help navigate the Island and show were the accessible areas are

    Now we are heading toward the back of the Island. There was a raft shuttling CMs (as we saw earlier) back and forth from near the Hungry Bear
    Looking up toward the fort
  • Page Number: 30
    The rumors circulating the internet say the fort is destine to be tore down in the coming weeks, and since there were work walls around it I believe its going to happen sooner rather than later...
    The restroom entrances
  • Page Number: 31
    Another wheelchair lift, this one near the restrooms
    A much higher lift
  • Page Number: 32
    A photo spot is now set up on the far North/East point of the Island, this is just beyond the Secret Cave on the map
    Here is a shot of the wall that is now around the fort area
  • Page Number: 33
  • Page Number: 34
    Looking back to the Smugglers Cove
    A shipwreck is also nearby (this is the one that we watched being build from the main land over the past few weeks)

  • Page Number: 40
    A couple more shots of this area since it was quiet
  • Page Number: 41

    The Columbia making its rounds

  • Page Number: 43
    Decided to make another pass of the fort
    Another new retiaing walls and plants
  • Page Number: 44
    On the raft back to the main land
    Spotted two guys painting the Mark Twain
  • Page Number: 45
    A Pirate is now posted near the queue to entertain you while waiting to go over to the Island
    Noticed an ad is up near the restrooms at the Hungry Bear now too (spotted one at DCA on the Wharf a couple visits ago)
    New balloons
  • Page Number: 46
  • Page Number: 47
    Work continues on the tree house, not much visible except that they closed up the hole where the new support attaches
    The line board around 10am
  • Page Number: 48
    Noticed some stuff up on the People Mover/Rocket Rod track, not sure what... probably has to do with the subs though
  • Page Number: 49
    A different pirate greeting you as you head to the Island (seems the same performers that were with the bootstrappers before and out on the Columbia)
    Speaking of the Bootstrappers they are now on the Island too
  • Page Number: 50
    Now a series of shots from the new Pirate show. (Note there are spoilers in here, both in the shots and my descriptions, if you do not want to know what happens skip ahead to page 61)
    The show starts off with two Pirates out on the stage and they talk with the Bootstrappers
    After everyone takes the Pirates oath the show begins
  • Page Number: 51
  • Page Number: 52
    Captain Jack Sparrow arrives on the scene
  • Page Number: 53
    I missed this guys name, but he appears and wants the map that Sparrow has
  • Page Number: 54
    As with all things Pirates things end up in a sword fight
  • Page Number: 55
  • Page Number: 56
    The fight sequence continues out on the edge of the stage (the Columbia happened to be going by and lent itself as a great backdrop)
  • Page Number: 57
    Jack find himself up on this pole
  • Page Number: 58
  • Page Number: 59
    Jacks back on the land and has the map again
  • Page Number: 60
    Jack tricks the other Pirate into going after a map he thinks is in the box
    Which turns out to be a fake and Jack has the real one and that ends the show.

    The Columbia had a fairly full deck
    I do not remember this rowboat before, this is docked near the mill (I mean blacksmith shop)
  • Page Number: 70
    Noticed this marker, wonder if its left over or of things to come.. this was about halfway from the cave to the fort
