  We drove to breakfast since we wanted to move the car to the Mickey and Friends garage to make leaving easier later today. Along the way snapped some pictures of the back of the Cars Land work. Here you can just barely make out scaffolding is up on the side that overlooks Katella.
  As you continue on down the side that faces Harbor has this pattern/screen on it.

  Seems this hotel would want some snow on the mountains for a nice backdrop.
  They blend in nicely in the background.
  Traveling down Harbor now.

  After parking the car took the tram to the parks. An ad for Lady and the Tramp as you pull into the tram stop.
  So far looks like the inside of the bakery has been gutted and some of the facade glass removed.
  First stop of the morning, Disneyland (since DCA was not open yet).

  As we headed into DCA only half the walkway was open and you could not go get a World of Color Fastpass early. There was some sort of Run Disney event going on. Think it was a childrens event.
  A better shot of the Soarin sign.

  More parade speakers missing..
  They were submerging the WoC platforms, guess they were up for the event this morning.
  Went for a spin on Toy Story and even though there were not that many people in front of me my score was still just over half the high score for the day and I thought I had a decent game...

  Screamin came to a halt, you may have heard the announcement in one of the video clips of Maters testing. They had to evacuate the guests. It was running again later in the day.

  I have not visited in quite a while. As you enter on the right is this Nanooze Labs (note they still have you walking up the ramp to enter and then exiting out the first floor).
  Looks like they do demonstrations here.

  Stopped by the Muppets since I heard there were new monitors in the waiting area. Of course the show was just about to start so was rushed into the theater and only got these two quick pictures.

  Mickeys Dance Crew is still running.
  The setting sun and perfect sky made for a great combination to highlight Tower of Terror.
  

• Page Number: 57
  

  Did they trim the trees.. seems you can see Tower more clearly from Bugs.. thought some of the trees were up to the height of the clovers in a couple areas.. this just looked more open to us.
  Went for another spin on Toy Story thanks to a cast member encounter someone in our group had .. they were waiting for some of the group to finish on Tower while I was off taking pictures and a Cast Member came up and started talking with them asking about their day, etc.. and offered them a couple of attraction passes as a way to make their day more Magical. So we used them and were able to ride with no wait!
