    Arrived at the Disneyland Resort just after lunch and decided to walk to the parks.
    I had not been this way in the daylight so here are a couple pictures of the expanded walkway near the gate on Magic Way for pedestrians.

    I still think it is humorous they use the temporary signage vs the permanent sign that was installed. I cannot believe they have not replaced or fixed that sign yet.
    Along the walkway saw several of these signs. Wonder if there was something going on or just a lot of lost guests recently?

    Planes signage up at the AMC
    The Blink store has closed and walls are up. I believe this will be the recently announced Downtown Disney Starbucks location. Lets see if that can survive in the location. I think this space has had among the highest turnover.

    Waiting for World of Color. Decided to watch from under the swings.
    This is one of the best views of the fountains with minimal wait. But you unfortunately miss alot of the show since you cannot see the projections and many of the effects do not look correct from this angle.

    One last fire shot from the Pirates sequence to end this trip to the Disneyland Resort. Hope you enjoyed.
