This page is to help you quickly jump through this picture set. Below you will see a listing of the pages and the captions on that page.

  • Page Number: 1
    From the garage you can see a new crane that has been set up to work on the Grand Californian expansion
    New signs at the security tents
    The ride safety ones disappeared several trips ago and now these are up
  • Page Number: 2
    A long line for tickets off to the right
    But the left looks nearly empty, that seemed odd
    Some of the banner/light posts in the Esplanade are being worked on
  • Page Number: 3
    Looking inside there is not much to see
    New (or at least the first time I noticed them) warning signs by the smoking areas
  • Page Number: 4
    The water level looks like its down a bit, or maybe it was higher due to the rain?
    The cranes from inside the park
    Toy Story Manias queue building is progressing, the tarps/scaffolding are mostly down now
  • Page Number: 5
    Here is a closer shot, look for more shots Sunday in the Construction Progress section
    Looks like the Sun Wheel queue can use some paint...
    It was a fairly clear day and you can see some snow on the mountains behind the Matterhorn
  • Page Number: 6
    Also Downtown LA was sort of visible in the distance
    A look down on the Grand Californian work (look for more shots Sunday in the Construction Progress section)
  • Page Number: 7
    The DCA Christmas tree
    The water was flowing again in the farm, for a couple trips it was not, nothing visible has changed.
  • Page Number: 8
    The Wave Riders were playing Christmas songs this set.
    Not much happening on the Backlot
    A new construction sign on Monsters...
  • Page Number: 9
    Noticed even the wait time sign is gone now.
    This has to be one of the least crowded dining options around, if I walk by and see a person in the area its rare... guess maybe after an Aladdin show is out there is a small line?
    No wait for Tower (it says 13 but it was a walk on)
  • Page Number: 10
    The signs on the Hyperion are finally being changed..
    This one has been updated
    This one was partially changed, I am guessing the rest will be changed soon.
  • Page Number: 11
    In the Animation Building I noticed this new display (well really an ad, nothing else was in the case)
    A random Snow White shot
  • Page Number: 12
    The exit signs have both now been fixed with raised letters again.
    Minnie in the Sun Plaza
  • Page Number: 13
    The attraction listing by the Grand Californian entrance is not up to date, it does not have Monsters Inc listed..
    The crane towers over the pool
  • Page Number: 14
    I noticed they had a spotlight on the Christmas tree, I had not noticed that before.
    A couple shots of the progress, they are starting vertical construction already. More shots tomorrow in the Construction Progress section.
  • Page Number: 15
    Over to Disneyland, I do not think I like these additions.. they are better than the last round of ads, but they still do not seem to work for the entrance to me...
  • Page Number: 16
    Noticed the attraction poster that had Remember now has Believe (I am guessing this swapped out several weeks ago but I did not notice it)
  • Page Number: 17
  • Page Number: 18
    The corn dog truck is back.
    The line board around 3pm
    The work on the elevator is moving along.
  • Page Number: 19
    The railings are now gone on the steps to the old gallery, wonder if that means the steps are next..
    The River Belle Terrace has reopened
  • Page Number: 20
  • Page Number: 21
    Now a look inside, luckily I was right after the lunch rush and before dinner, so it was not crowded.

    The entrance ramp from the river side.

    Next up I went for a ride on the train to see if I could get a glimpse of the new monorail which arrived Thursday, I could not see anything, here is the best shot I got (the mule was parked over on the left and the right door was closed so it could have been in either spot).
  • Page Number: 27
  • Page Number: 28
    One of the dancers was missing
    All the lights that were out last trip were working this time around.
  • Page Number: 29
    One sub was out of service on Friday (well there may have been another backstage but only one here)
    The Rocket Rod tracked looked rather clean, not sure if it was the lighting, the rain, or if they actually cleaned up the track.
  • Page Number: 30
    I sat in the back cone on the monorail (in another attempt to get a shot into the roundhouse and failed)
    The lines around 4:30
  • Page Number: 31

    Work lights were on in Toy Story Mania, but you could not really make out anything.

  • Page Number: 37
    Santa hanging out at the Beach Party Blast
  • Page Number: 38
    Most of the Award Wieners menu was off/out
    No lights on the signs at the ticket booths yet, guess that means they will not be lit
  • Page Number: 39
    Made it out to Toontown and saw this sign
    It was closed though, also noticed the sign was removed
    Hmm.. why list the Pizza separate if its the same price now

    The Round-up closes at 6:30, too bad its not open later in the evening, I think the lighting looks good.

    They now have a chain fence that is put in place to guide you to the tram stop at night, vs. the temporary barriers they have been using for the past couple of years.
