    There looked to be a lot of people at the tram stop so I decided to walk. Also interesting to note it seemed most guests were crammed into the first two waiting areas.. toward the front of the tram looked empty.
    They were not parking guest cars outside yet, just the handicap/bus/oversize area.
    Still working on the stairwell.

    Spent some more time looking at the picture. Realized the Red Car pin really obstructs the view of Buena Vista Street.

    The wait times around 3pm. Seemed like an average day to me, but I do not visit that many Saturdays so a little hard to compare.
    Some of the Nemo subs are in need of some touch up work.
    A closer look.

    From the other side of the Esplanade as we headed back to Disneyland.

    Another view of the new signage.
    Still working on some of the stops.
  • Page Number: 48
