  • Page Number: 1
    First stop today, Disney California Adventure, and of course it was the park with the longer lines.
    Once inside Buena Vista Street did not feel too crowded.
    The wait times around 1:30pm

    Condor Flats had a lot of guests moving about, only 35min for Soarin.
    The Happy Camper was out performing along the trail near GRR.
    A video clip from his performance.
  • Page Number: 3
    Noticed this counter/register out near Rushin River Outfitters. I had not noticed it before.

    Moving on to Cars Land
  • Page Number: 5
    Cross St was not too crowded.
    Mater making his way down Cross St en route to the Cozy Cone.

    Red out for pictures.
    Guests waiting for the Pixar Play Parade. Today the 2pm parade started out in Paradise Pier.
  • Page Number: 7
    The All-American College Band on the Backlot Stage.
    Michael from the band performing Zero to Hero.
  • Page Number: 8
    Took a look into Dancin with Disney and I think the Cast Members out numbered guests. I am guessing this is because of the parade making its way through the park.
    Stopped by the Animation Building and there is now an ad up for Planes and Frozen.
  • Page Number: 9
    As well as Monsters University
    Back out to Hollywood Blvd and managed to make it across before the parade.
  • Page Number: 10
    I made my way out to Downtown Disney for the Summer Celebration that was going on this week.
  • Page Number: 11
    A sand volleyball court was set up between the AMC and stage.
    The stage had a DJ MCing the event. Also noticed the Downtown Disney Live! signage.. I do not recall seeing that last time I visited this area.
    The volleyball tournament was underway.
  • Page Number: 12
    A couple of vender/sponsor tents set up.
    There was a small set of bleachers set up. I opted to just walk around.
  • Page Number: 13
    Another tent.
    A shaved ice truck.

    World of Disney has a large display of Planes merchandise out as you walk from Downtown Disney toward the parks.

    No line at the ticket booths this afternoon.

    Main Street this afternoon.
  • Page Number: 22
    No real visible progress on Starbucks.
    The waits around 3:30pm
  • Page Number: 23
    The Big Thunder trail is closed. They are replacing the concrete along the trail.
    Plenty of scaffolding up around the station for Big Thunder.
  • Page Number: 24
    I could not really get a good view of the concrete work. Looks like they have removed the old surface and have it leveled off and ready to put in the new.
    Rainbow Ridge looks just about complete.
  • Page Number: 25
    Could not tell what was being done here. I am assuming railing painting.
    No visible wait for Pirates this afternoon.
  • Page Number: 26
    The rapids along the Rivers of America were not functioning today.
    Looks like this one is pointing the wrong way.. more a fountain than a rapid if it was working.
    The water level seemed down.. notice the bank.
  • Page Number: 27
    Tried for another picture of the trail work as we circled around.
    The cave on the island is closed off.
    Soundsational making its way through the hub.
  • Page Number: 28
    A sign on the other side of the Big Thunder Trail near the BBQ warning you that the walkway is closed ahead.
    Where the walkway is closed. Just beyond the ranch entrance.
    The Billies were performing when I walked by.

  • Page Number: 30
    Chip was helping to direct the horse.
  • Page Number: 31
    I think it is interesting that they left these carvings up around the entrance to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.. they have Hook, Smee, and the Croc.
  • Page Number: 32
    A large number of guests were sitting around the hub. Not sure if they were just resting or waiting for the parade (if the parade hopefully someone told them it does not pass that way).
    A sign as you head to Frontierland letting you know how to reach the Ranch.
    The band making its way to the Castle for their 5:05 set.
  • Page Number: 33
    After their set I headed out to Toontown.
    The Jolly Trolley has returned.. as a photo op still.
  • Page Number: 34
    Looks like they may have updated the surface on the steps.
    Time for the 6:00pm Flag Retreat.
  • Page Number: 35
    Thought it was odd the Billboards reverted back to Brave from last summer.
    The merchandise cart near the Haunted Mansion.
  • Page Number: 36

    Stopped by the Court des Anges in New Orleans Square. Soon the Pirates will move back in and if rumors are to be believed eventually this will be the entrance to Club 33.
    It is one of the few places you can go in Disneyland to escape the crowds usually. It is too bad it may disappear/be repurposed.

    Time to head back to the park from the quiet retreat.

    The wait times at DCA just before 8:00pm
    The sunset this evening with the clouds and colors was great to see. Too bad with the World of Color set up and crowds I could not get close to the water for a better picture.
    The Cozy Cone fountain was not working this evening.

    Back to Disneyland for Fantasmic
    No Dragon nor fire on the Rivers of America this evening.

    Then it was back to Main Street for Magical to end my evening.
