  Awaiting the Pixar Play Parade. The original idea was to shoot it with the Carthay in the background.. then I learned it was coming from the Pier..
  I did notice this sign up for what I am assuming will be the entrance for the Racers Fast Pass distribution.
  Some pictures from the Pixar Play Parade. I watched from the Blue Sky Cellar Patio.

  This billboard has been fixed/reprinted.
  The line stretched around toward the exit straight away which was way more than my patience would allow today... so no Fun Wheel pictures (I checked a couple of times and it seemed to be near the 45 minute mark most of the time).

  Wow 150 minutes is crazy to wait for Tower of Terror at 5 to 9.. It was invaded with Grad Nite kids.
  The lights were on today along Hollywood Blvd. I do not think they interfered with the Mad T Party which was my hunch why they were off last week.
