  A look at the Fantasy Tower from the parking structure. Looks like all the glass is in and they are finishing up the painting. (More hotel shots later in this update)
  This morning there was a customer appreciation sale for Annual Passholders, D23 and DVC members. They were limiting the number of guests in the store, and the line wrapped around outside.

  Some tape markings on the ground to guide the line around.
  A wider shot of the area.
  No lines at the ticket booths (it was about 8am).

  Strolled by DCA before heading into Disneyland

  A large section of the backstage wall has been removed. This will be the main walkway for guests entering/exiting the park in a few weeks when they block off the regular walkways to create Buena Vista Street.
  They have installed lights to brighten up the backstage pathway.

  A look through the gates and you can see they are preparing the park for opening.
  Notice anything missing here? The Golden Gate Bridge towers are gone this week (more shots when we head to DCA in a while).

  No visible changes to the Emporium, the work is still going on.
  Went for a spin on Mr. Toad since there was no real line yet..

  Had a request from Chris for some shots of Jingles.

  Not much visible progress over at the Matterhorn.
  The gift shop carts are gone from Pixie Hollow, just the face painting one remains. Wonder if those are being repurposed for DCA?? Or just gone for a while.

  A couple random shots as I hustled through the empty Haunted Mansion queue.

  While waiting at the Toontown Depot I was curious why they did not run the electrical for the station bell some other way. The straight piece of conduit really does not go with the look of the water tower. I am sure it has been like this since they put the bells in a couple years ago but I never really looked at it/noticed it.
  The last scene of the dinos is still blocked off.

  Looking across the way. The Cars mountains block some more of the outside world, but not everything..
  It just seemed odd not to see the Golden Gate. Also wish that the Cars range was just a bit higher to hide the Hilton.

  Next stop DCA. Here you can see the current state of the bridge removal. The Towers are gone and all that remains is the lower portion. Guessing that will disappear this week if they keep on their current pace.
  What remains of the old entrance.

  Looks like they just cut off the towers.
  Looking back at the entrance.

  Hard to see what is going on with the Carthay, but it appears more of the framing for the exterior was going up behind the tarps.
  Some of the tarp is down and looks like the Condor Flats sign got a new coat of paint. Guess that means it is staying for a while.

  You have one more week to shop in Engine Ears Toys.. its last day of operation is the 31st, next Sunday.
  Without the bridge the area looks so open/big.

  The other side of the new entrance walkway.

  A sign by the Grand CA (note when we got over by the attraction it appeared they were letting anyone ride. There was no line or wait.
  Friday evening there was an incident on Screamin where a backback fell out of a train and caused an emergency stop. A train got stuck in the valley above Toy Story. Today they were manually winching the train out of the valley.
  A closer look. Two workers exerting a lot of effort to inch (and that may be a generous description of the pace) the train up the hill.

  They have a long way to go.
  My Toy Story score (the red)

  Notice what appears to be another road/walkway that was put in, in the back going to the left, the asphalt.
  More asphalt, this time behind the Cozy Cones

  One worker checking out the rock work mesh along the track
  Not a very big crowd for Disney Channel Rocks. Wonder how long this show will last. It always seems to have a light crowd.
  

• Page Number: 31
  

  A better shot of that new driveway, appears to be for backstage access.

  Looks like she has always been there?

• Page Number: 42
  

  Before leaving the park thought I would double back and check on the progress.
  

• Page Number: 43
  

  Made a quick trip through the toy store to grab a couple random shots since this would probably be my last chance.

  Still disappointed they only care about nerd and not geeks...
  Hiked out to the Disneyland Hotel (since the Monorail wait was more than I wanted to deal with)
  

• Page Number: 48
  

  It has been a while. The scaffolding is down around most of the dining building (not sure what to call it).
  The courtyard side of the Fantasy tower is almost done. Just some painting to finish up.
  They have moved on to the far side to finish up.

• Page Number: 54
  

  Strolled by the Paradise Pier Hotel (I was walking down the street to see if I could get a shot of the Screamin work from there but nothing was visible)
  Did notice what appears to be a color/paint test on the far side of the building (this was nearest the pool, you can see the water slide on the left of the shot)
  A closer look
