  Kind of different... two of the same banner as you leave the Mickey and Friends garage.. usually there is only one banner. Wonder why they are the same and double.
  Grad Nite season is still underway for another week. So as I was arriving bus loads of grad nite guests were too.
  The Disneyland Hotel has received a new sign. Cast Members were still putting the finishing touches on the landscaping this afternoon.

  I thought for summer maybe new banners between the parks, nope they look to be the same.
  How come there always seems to be a longer line for the park I am heading to first?
  Main Street USA is all Red White and Blue.

  Looks to be an average crowd on Main Street.
  Climbers have returned to the Matterhorn for the summer. I did not see if they were doing a character show or not. Anyone know? Too bad Happy Haus and his son did not return this year (check out my pictures/video from last year.. he was a performer on the mountain for the reopening).

  Shortly after the Billies there was a short character show called Woodys Talent Roundup.
  

• Page Number: 21
  

  Since there were no signs or postings most of the audience had disappeared before it started. Disney really needs to post show times to give guests a chance to see them!

  A couple video clips from the Talent Roundup.

  Looks like the task to erect and level scaffolding on the mountain is a good challenge. Look at the varying support lengths/angles just for this small section.

  Some safety lines on the rooftops.

  I saw Dumbo was closed for a few days while I was gone. No real visible signs of change, probably just some cleanup/routine work.
  A good size crowd waiting for Mickey and the Magical Map considering it does not start for half an hour and behind me Soundsational was just stepping off.

  Just checking to see if Goofy Water is still in service and it is..
  The hills of Toontown have a new ridge. They have hidden the safety rails and it looks good.

  The madness after the parade is always fun to see unfold (as long as you do not have to walk through it).
  Today was Flag Day so I stopped for the nightly Flag Retreat.

  In the Main Street Opera House Lobby the Disneyland Story section is behind curtains. Is a new exhibit coming or just some work on the current one?
  The Disney Gallery is receiving a new exhibit.
  The ever evolving windows of Buena Vista Street. The glare was really bad when I walked by, this is the best.. there is a mannequin now and most of the clutter is gone from the Julius Katz window.

  Storytellers this afternoon. Last year this time I was at the grand opening festivities for Buena Vista Street and Cars Land, hard to believe it has been a year already.

  The Cozy Cone Fountain is slowly coming back together but not operational yet.
  DJ was out with his dancers. They were playing red light/green light but with dancing this show. I do not remember hearing/seeing that before but I have to admit I usually do not pay that close of attention to the show.

  The Racers turn one this week.. still going strong.

  Found this interesting.. since I last passed by a sign was put out saying Tower of Terror was closing at 8:30pm.
  At 8:29 the line was still posted at 100 minutes. Guess they are doing this to cycle out guests and prepare for Grad Nite.
  Walked through Cars Land. Some neon pictures..
