    Next up some disappointing pictures to share. The seating areas along the walkway to the castle have been removed. The internet word is these are more safety enhancements to reduce the risk of a guest falling into the moat. (which I did not know was a common occurrence in the 59 year history of the park??)
    Phase 2 of the safety enhancements (or dummy proofing) is the installation of a higher railing. They have started to drill the holes for it.
  • Page Number: 47
    Looks like they drilled it out then plugged it up. Also notice how the drilling cracked the finish.
  • Page Number: 48
  • Page Number: 49
    Seems they should have repainted all the stone so the new would not stick out so much.
  • Page Number: 50
    A great blue sky this afternoon.
  • Page Number: 51
    Walked around to grab some last pictures before the extended railings go in.

    A photo location for the Halloween Party set up in the Small World Mall. Looks like the Frozen cast will be outside for the party. There was a steady stream of guests going over/under the ropes for pictures with the empty set.
    Passed by the subs again, no signs of a soft opening.
  • Page Number: 54
    Was going to go for a ride on the Monorail to check out the Esplanade work, but as you can spot in the far right of this picture the line was several monorails long so I skipped it.

    Still looks odd to me an exit with turn stiles at DCA.
  • Page Number: 70
    Award Wieners has the Maleficent sippers too.
    Long lines for anything that served food at DCA since Disneyland was closed. Seems guests spend all their time until 7pm at Disneyland then came to DCA and decided it was time to eat.
