  While walking to the parks saw the mule pushing a service platform along the beamway.

  It looked like the Racers were down, no signs of Cars. Also Screamin went down while we were on the Wheel.
  It was a very windy morning and hazy.
  Some scaffolding up backstage at Disneyland.

  They were parking cars in the far lot, I still do not understand why those who show up early get stuck out there vs the garage. Parking here you have to walk to the parks through Downtown Disney.
  Not a good picture at all.. but they have installed a backdrop for a meet and greet in the Maliboomer Park area.

  Several weeks ago the Carthay Circle Restaurant started a new tour. This tour happens daily at 10:30am and is free. I was finally in the park in the morning and made a point to give it a try today.

  You do not need to sign up, just hang around the sign around 10:30 and a cast member will greet you and start the tour.
  Our host for the tour. Our group as about 10 guests. We started in the lobby and a history of the Carthay and some of the pictures on the wall.
  I am going to skip the details.. since I was taking pictures and not notes or video.. We then went into the main lounge.

  We took the elevator upstairs (too many people to get a good picture).
  Made a quick peek into the Mens Salon where the light was pointed out.. same fixture that you will see at the Hollywood Tower Hotel.
  Back to the hallway that leads to the dining rooms.

  Entering the main dining room. I shot with the wide angle lens so no good pictures of the mural overhead.. this is probably the best.

  The room within the tower.. looking up.
  The table. You can reserve this room for your party.. there is a min. fee associated with it.

  The table has a fun hidden tribute.. the base is inspired by Snow Whites wishing well. (Yes I had to go down on the floor for the picture.. you know you would have too).
  On the wall a very early picture of Walt and Mickey and one of the last.
