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
    There is a new sign for the Memories campaign in the Esplanade.. it brings back memories of the old Disneyland sign.
    There are two sets of images that rotate through (as well as the Disneyland text)
  • Page Number: 2
    9am.. time to open. Noticed the hand cart is back.
    Work continues on Main Street. This section was recently repaved.
  • Page Number: 3
    They are finishing up around the tracks.
  • Page Number: 4
    A wide shot of the area.
  • Page Number: 5
    From ground level.
    The recently completed area in front of the Fire Station.
  • Page Number: 6
    The work to install the sinks looks to be done by the carts.
    Characters out for photos.
  • Page Number: 7
    The Valentines decorations are back in Town Square again this year.
    Work continues further up Main Street on the rails.
    The Music Company has reopened.
  • Page Number: 8
    A quick look inside reveals that it looks the same, nothing jumped out as a major change to me.
    The new Memories park tickets.
  • Page Number: 9
    Heading into Tomorrowland the planter by Star Tours is now behind walls. Wonder if they are going to widen the walkway in the area.
    The Buzz Fastpass machines are behind walls. I read a rumor that these are being converted for Star Tours.. that would be too bad.. I liked having Buzz with Fastpass.
    More work under the Rocket rods. Guessing for another sink installation. I do not think that area had one for the ODV cart.
  • Page Number: 10
    Walls up in Tomorrowland. Looks to be work on the pavers.
    All attractions are still open
    Just no Fastpasses for Space Mountain.

  • Page Number: 12
  • Page Number: 13
    Back to Main Street. More rail work, this time in the Hub.
    The area in front of the Castle is done.
    Speaking of the Castle.. thought this blue sky looked great!
  • Page Number: 14
    Frontierland has a ghost town still. I really do enjoy the first hour or so the park is open.
  • Page Number: 15
    Still the wrong fire work poster.
    Over to DCA. Still moving dirt around (nothing new was visible at the entrance so skipped the shot).
  • Page Number: 16
    Out by the Little Mermaid a new window has been installed in the hole facing the Bay Area restrooms.
  • Page Number: 17
    Out front work is moving along quickly as the building is enclosed, the walls are up, and details are starting to emerge.
  • Page Number: 18
    Preparations for the entrance sign are moving along.
    The masses heading for Toy Story.
    Looks like planters going in along the Pier.
  • Page Number: 19
    The water looks to be turning brownish again.
    I believe the scaffolding is all to support the work on the top. If those are planters my guess is water and electrical is being run. Also maybe some additional support?
  • Page Number: 20
    Stopped by Toy Story.. not a bad score...
    Till I saw the high for the day already.
    Time for a spin on the Fun Wheel. The Boardwalk Pizza is being framed.

    Same for Flos
    Out by Maters they have dug the hole for the attraction.
  • Page Number: 28

    Another pan across Mermaid shows the pieces that are awaiting installation on the roof.

    The current menu at White Water Snacks.
  • Page Number: 49
    A word of warning... if you are going to get the kids hamburger.. this is what you get (plus a drink). The burger can barely be called a burger. But they did get a ton of grapes and they were fresh not in a bag.
    A random shot (anyone know where this is? If so odds are you may be a bigger Disney geek than me based off this random looking shot -- answer on the next page).
    Over to Disneyland where there is some facade work going on in Fantasyland.
  • Page Number: 50
    Answer to the preview pages question.. that flower/plant is along the Chew Chew train path in Bugs Land, near the candy corn portion of the ride on the right hand side.
    The Carrousel roof is showing some signs of wear and need for some paint/cleaning.

    Go Country was having a celebration at House of Blues. I stumble across their cake and some gifts.. they were a little too far in front of me to get a good shot.
    Next weekend is an event at Vault 28.
    Catal had their staff dressed for the weekends theme. (the guy in the classic military outfit was a waiter or working at the bar).

    At ElecTRONica we redeemed a Gowalla virtual token for a real token for the arcade. It is commemorative and limited edition. Not bad for free.
