    Doubled back to get a couple more shots from a higher vantage point near the Blue Sky Cellar
    The foundation for what I think is Sarges has been poured now (was rebar and conduit on Saturday).

    A better shot of the new slab.
    From this angle you can see the tower of the Carthay is moving along behind the wrap.

    A look at the wall by the Tortilla factory. Interesting that it has supports up high...guess it is pushed right up to the area they are working on so no room for the normal back supports.
    Over at the Little Mermaid noticed the exterior queue speakers never did receive covers to hide them, instead they were painted to match the ceiling.

    A couple random shots.
    Heading out of the park.

    The sign over the walkway off of Harbor has recently been repainted. The celebrate today graphics were removed too.
    A look into the former Greetings from California Store
    The new wall on the monorail makes the view somewhat obstructed but you can still take pictures.

    A closer look around.
  • Page Number: 22
    I was not quick enough to get the camera down to the window in the former Toy Store but from this partial shot you can sort of see what is going on.
    The directory as you enter the Disneyland Hotel area is gone, guessing the new one is on its way.

    The Tomorrowland Terrace was giving out a free Soundsational cupcake with meal purchase.
