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
    This area was roped off as we were exiting the tram area..
    Not sure why, later in the evening when we were leaving the ropes were down.
    The new stroller building is open (more shots later)
  • Page Number: 2
    The DCA rental area is blocked off
    Interesting the sign says temporary.. guess this is an old sign? From when they used to have the temporary area? Or is this new building a test?
  • Page Number: 3
    There was no visible line for Soarin... wow..
    The walls have moved slightly out in the Pier area.
    The new planter is uncovered.
  • Page Number: 4
    Also the walkway out to the Zephyr has shifted closer to the bay and you now walk by the new trees. (The Little Mermaid site is now larger)
    Back to the new planter area.
  • Page Number: 5
    Those holes in the column were for speakers..
  • Page Number: 6
    Out to the viewing area now..
  • Page Number: 7
    Everyone seemed to be leaving the platform.
    Spotted a camera set up (on the left of this shot).
  • Page Number: 8
    The painted railings have not been installed yet.
    More framework over on the swings
  • Page Number: 9
    Here you can see the camera guy.
    Last time I pointed out this new box on Screamins lift hill
    A closer shot (wonder if this is a laser, the angle seems too high to be a projector).
  • Page Number: 10
    A closer look at the swings
    Then all of a sudden two of the large midst screens fired up..
  • Page Number: 11
    They turned the pressure up till they were meeting
  • Page Number: 12
    Then the rig in the back started to rise up
    Here you can see it rises to about the middle of the Fun Wheel (above the screen)
  • Page Number: 13
    Then the third screen kicked in
    But before I could change lenses to get the wide shot they turned off the right one.
    Decided to walk around the screen a bit.
  • Page Number: 14
  • Page Number: 15
    This rig kept going up and down but nothing would happen.
    The new box from below.
  • Page Number: 16
    spotted one CM in the booth
  • Page Number: 17
    Not much progress on the boardwalk
    The camera guy was heading out (guess the test was over)
    The walls have been pushed out to the Zephyr queue now, guess the last patch of concrete will be going in soon.
  • Page Number: 18
    A look at the Mermaid site
    Over to Cars Land.
  • Page Number: 19
    Are these pieces of track? Or just some support steel.
    The earth is slowly being shaped.
  • Page Number: 20
    More pieces of the swings are arriving onsite.
    The framework is moving along
  • Page Number: 21
  • Page Number: 22
    They were submerging the platform closest to Ariels
  • Page Number: 23
    A couple wide shots of the area
  • Page Number: 24
    The mound of dirt is slightly smaller this week compared to last
    Still drilling on the perimeter of the site
    Looks like some concrete has been poured for the pavement nearest the Bay Area
  • Page Number: 25
    The box from eye level on the Fun Wheel..
    More water on the platform that was being partially submerged.
    No visible progress on the one Maliboomer tower that is down.
  • Page Number: 26
    A look at the swings work from the Rustworthy
    Frames for the walls are going up

  • Page Number: 28
    Behind the wall a backhoe at work
    The Mermaid site
  • Page Number: 29
    Looks like the platform is just about show level here.
  • Page Number: 30
    Here you can see the new lights, trees, and walkway.
    Speakers on some of the posts (look to be for the surround sound for World of Color since they are pointing at the back of the audience)
  • Page Number: 31
    By the time I made it around to get a view of the platform it had been submerged to the storage level. Here you can see it is completely below the water line
    Kind of weird to see people standing in the middle of the Bay
  • Page Number: 32
    The restaurants are closed so the sign is blank..
    The Christmas decorations are now all down.
  • Page Number: 33
    The walls have been pushed out (closer to Tower of Terror) and some of the old dividing wall has been removed.
    No Aladdin performances today, instead an event for the music convention.
  • Page Number: 34
    Noticed the street lights/poles have been removed.
  • Page Number: 35
    The AP center is listed (in the wrong color) on the sign closest to it.
    Seems like it should be on this sign that is up the street too.
  • Page Number: 36
    One of the Greetings from California windows
    Spotted this sign out front..
    Now over to the newly opened rental building.
  • Page Number: 37
    It was not very busy this late afternoon..
    You pay in the middle
    The current rates
  • Page Number: 38
    Then you either go to the right for ECVs
    Or the left for strollers
    The old location is behind walls and having some work done to it.
  • Page Number: 39
    Noticed all the celebrate you decorations are back.
    The snow is gone from the castle

    The lines around 3:50pm
    There is a fence/tarp up around the walkway to Frontierland
  • Page Number: 41
    Luckily it is short and you can shoot over it.. the water way is drained and the bridge has been removed.
  • Page Number: 42
    Over to the Rivers of America which is now completely drained.
  • Page Number: 43
    Looks like some work going on out on the island.
    The track and then pipes for Fantasmic
  • Page Number: 44
    Last time I mentioned the tarp/wall is up all the way to the Hungry Bear.. here is a picture.
  • Page Number: 45
    A look toward the river bend. You can see piles of muck to be removed and then a dumpster
    A random shot of the block under the columbia
  • Page Number: 46
    Pooh Corner is still under wraps
  • Page Number: 47
    The Haunted Mansion is back, but it was down when I walked by.
    The new smoking area since the river one is off limits due to the work.. it was fairly miserable to walk through and the smoke was blowing toward the queue for the train. seems poor to exit the train or wait for the wheelchair area to have to deal with the smoke.
    A look at the River work from the train.

    Stopped by Innoventions and saw the Southern California Edison presentation (before being allowed into the house)
    Due to the slow corn dog line I missed the cavalcade .. here is a shot from the side.
    Did catch some of the Street Party though.
  • Page Number: 55
    Over to DCA.. the new tower thingy does have lights that change colors. The Color scheme this week was much better.
    Nothing happening out on the platform but did notice the projector housing doors open, guessing they were doing after hours projector work (hence the reason we saw the screens being tested earlier)
  • Page Number: 56
    The work boat headed out while I was there.
    It worked its way around to the projector housing
  • Page Number: 57
    Looked like something was being projected onto the hotel, but I could not make it out from this angle/distance.
    Spotted this piece of wood floating in the bay
  • Page Number: 58
    Back over to Disneyland and a ride on the Haunted Mansion
    There was no line..
    Madam Leota was not floating today.
