  • Page Number: 1
    Arriving at the Disneyland Resort. Most of the Christmas decorations and signage have been removed from around the resort. At the Mickey and Friends Tram stop the billboards have been swapped back.
    And the Honda Contest too.
  • Page Number: 2
    As well as the Downtown Disney banners.
    A look over to DCA.. but heading to Disneyland first.
  • Page Number: 3
    The off season has arrived and projects are underway around the park. The first is the Main Street Train Station.
    Out front of the entrance there are now Cast Members stationed. This part of an effort to cut down on ticket renting.
    A closer look at the train station. The train is still in operation, just not stopping on Main Street.
  • Page Number: 4
    The Remember poster is back.
    Stepping onto Main Street.. what a different feel than last week. The crowds plus Christmas are all gone.

    Some work going on right inside Frontierland too, the shops are all open, just exterior work.

    There is also a stand by option.
    What the reservation ticket looks like. The front.

    The Columbia was making the rounds on the Rivers of America today because the Mark Twain is in dry dock for some work.
  • Page Number: 12
    The Mark Twain.
    Fantasmic is also not running right now and they are working on the center fountain area.
    I do enjoy the off season. You can actually see and enjoy the park in a different light.
  • Page Number: 13
    The Haunted Mansion is closed as they are transforming it back to the regular show.
    The exterior work looks complete already.
    The posters are back on the walls around the Mark Twain talking about the harbor and drydock work.

    Only a 5 minute wait for Splash Mountain. Temps were in the 50s and it was windy so not a big demand to get wet this afternoon.
    A notice about the Main Street station work.
    A couple wreaths up still at the New Orleans station.
  • Page Number: 15
    Some decorations are still up in New Orleans Square.

    The Kodak information booth by Small World was closed and empty today.
  • Page Number: 26
    A look inside (as many of you know Kodak did not renew their sponsorship with Disney so they are leaving the parks). The booth is supposed to be re-purposed and staying.
