  Not too many buses yet but tonight is another Grad Nite so eventually this will fill up.
  La Brea Bakery reopened earlier today.
  They still have finishing touches like the covering over the out door dining area to wrap up.

  The entrance for the table service location.
  

• Page Number: 3
  

  The menu.
  The express entrance.
  

• Page Number: 4
  

  The LCD was not functional yet, wonder if it will be a menu or some other sort of video.
  The menu.
  

• Page Number: 5
  

  A walk through.
  There is an exhibition kitchen area where they were making bread. As you can see they still have some finishing touches, the top is still temporary.
  

• Page Number: 6
  

• Page Number: 7
  

  Looking back.
  The outdoor seating area. New tables and chairs but no other real changes. I thought they may take this opportunity to redo the area so they would not need the temporary security fences anymore.
  Last Sunday prices went up on all tickets. Notice a one day park hopper is now $125 and a Premium Annual Pass is $649.
  

• Page Number: 8
  

  Noticed the fence is in on the far side of the DCA entrance.
  A closer look.
  The Mad T Party starts this evening as a special sneak preview. It is on the time schedule.
  

• Page Number: 9
  

  And on the park maps (note over at Disneyland the Jamboree is not though).
  Not much to see over the walls today. With only 3 weeks till the grand opening and 2 weeks till most of the previews start they are now wrapping up and applying finishing touches.
  Some new signage in Condor Flats painted on the hanger.
  

• Page Number: 10
  

• Page Number: 11
  

  No visible progress on Taste Pilots.. curious to see what it will look like.. if they are painting a sign on or just patching it up so the design is finished.
  Heading toward Carthay Circle. The walls have been taken down around the Carthay and moved back to reveal the fountain.
  Carthay Circle on this cloudy afternoon.
  

• Page Number: 12
  

  I will make three passes through the area.. first with a wide angle, then later with a mid range and telephoto lens.
  The walls are pushed back to the curb (you can see the curb under the wall).
  The central fountain.
  

• Page Number: 13
  

  The Carthay is now unveiled.
  The tips on the posts around the fountain are interesting..
  

• Page Number: 14
  

  The Carthay entrance. There were a couple of cast members positioned outside to answer questions.

• Page Number: 17
  

  Looking out from the entrance area.
  The dinner menu. The glare was terrible this afternoon...
  The lunch menu.
  

• Page Number: 18
  

  The other side of the entrance area.
  The two cast members out front agreed to model their costumes for me.
  They were answering questions as well as handing out cards with some info on the Carthay. I found this really odd that they were providing info on Club 33. Guess Disney has decided to make a marketing push for the club.
  

• Page Number: 19
  

  A second card featured the Carthay logo.
  And the reverse side had the opening date and dining number.
  Some more area pictures.

  A look around the courtyard between the Carthay and Disney Jr.

  The level of detail on the building is great!
  

• Page Number: 25
  

  A closer look at one of the planters.
  

• Page Number: 26
  

  I thought this side looked great too. You can see a second emergency exit staircase and then service doors, but they really made it all work with the area.
  

• Page Number: 27
  

  A closer look at the stairs.
  

• Page Number: 28
  

  The new sight line toward Condor Flats. I can see why the jet was removed. At night the Soarin sign was a little out of place too.

  Looks like this stairwell is next for the painters.
  Still no speakers/lights along the parade route by Maters.
  No real visible progress here, was hoping the signs would be installed...
  

• Page Number: 51
  

  Two of the three platforms were up for work.
  The walls around the Cove Bar are down, but a tarp is still up around the bar area.

  A new ramp to get in.
  

• Page Number: 53
  

  This door was closed, all the others were open.. not sure why, maybe the wind?
  More new billboards along the Pier.
  The ice cream line got in the way of this picture.
  

• Page Number: 54
  

  The one from last week..
  Thought this was a fun one.
  

• Page Number: 55
  

  Notice the tree in the middle looks difference compared to the other two.
  Looks like it was recently put in.
  

• Page Number: 56
  

  The Fun Wheel line stretched all the way to the final turn of the exit ramp which means close to 45 minutes so I skipped it this trip.
  The fountains in Paradise Park were on, but since it was cool out no one was in them..
  

• Page Number: 57
  

  Hmm.. they have painted it all blue.. wonder what it will be once completed.
  Time for Disneyland.

  Cowboy Mickey out for pictures.
  Minnie was roaming around too.
  

• Page Number: 75
