  • Page Number: 1
    Winter Village banners are still up at the Mickey and Friends tram stop but the car and other signs are all gone.
    The posted closure list by the security tents.
    Average ticket lines. Surprised with the print at home options that these do not shrink more.

    Since my lat visit prices have gone up. Here are the current Disneyland Resort posted options/rates.
    No line to enter either park this afternoon. A look at the DCA entrance.
    First stop for me Disneyland. It was a picture perfect day. Temps were on the warm sign, in the upper 80s but then it cooled down to the low 70s as the sun set.
  • Page Number: 3
    The Magical poster is still up. Guess it is staying until the new 60th show one can take its place.
    Big Hero 6 has been removed though.
    The Straw Hatters performing in Town Square.
  • Page Number: 4
    A look up Main Street USA
    If you timed it right you could make the park look rather empty...
    The scaffolding has been taken down and Sleeping Beauty Castle is now a lighter shade of pink and much of the gold added for the 50th has been removed or repainted to silver.
  • Page Number: 5
    Due to the expected winds all the canopies and umbrellas were closed up, which meant limited shade this warm afternoon.
    An Outdoor Vending Cart near the Corn Dog wagon/across from the Photo store features an assortment of Olaf Treats.
    A closer look.

    It was a great spring afternoon with many of the trees and flowers in bloom on Main Street
  • Page Number: 8
    Some work going on at the Tomorrowland entrance. A small area walled off. Maybe drainage work? I do not remember anything else in that area. It is the middle of the walkway (you can actually walk on either side of the box.
  • Page Number: 9
    A quick look at the Caslte. I will circle back but wanted to try for a Fantasmic Fastpass
    Heading for Frontierland
    Several groups of Cast Members learning about the park. Without them the area would have been really quiet.
  • Page Number: 10
    I was too late to get a FastPass for the 1st show and knew I was not staying until 10:45pm.. so no Fantasmic for me (I really am not a fan of this new system).
    Oops.. did not realize I should really pay attention to what the auto focus chooses.. a family of ducklings in the plants near the Frontierland entrance.
    The light/projector housings around the castle have been removed.
  • Page Number: 11
    A series of pictures of Sleeping Beauty Castle now.
    The silver trim used to be gold
    The dent is still in this turret.

    Work continues on the Small World facade. Some of the tarps were down. Not sure if it was wind related or because they are done.
    A closer look
  • Page Number: 22
    A look toward the area where there was a small fire last week.

    Walked through Toontown. Here is Mickeys house and fountain.
    Olaf is MIA... did he learn what happens in Summer?

    Stopped by the Fun Wheel. The counters have been moved and guess you can call it directional signage (tape arrows) have been added to the ground.
    The new counter location is right before the turn when you exit.
    Some random shots of the World of Color platforms. I was stopped very low for over 10 minutes due to technical difficulties.
  • Page Number: 45
    From this poor angle looks like nothing has been done to the Flying Tires area.
    The Racers were still down.
  • Page Number: 46
    Looking toward Disneyland
    Some snow still on the far mountain.. with the hot weather it will be gone soon. This is how I enjoy snow.. from far away! (I have vivid memories of cold midwest winters and really enjoy Southern California!)
  • Page Number: 47
    A look down at the submerged World of Color platform.

    From under the swings.
  • Page Number: 50
    Ate dinner at the outdoor seating for Flos. This was my view. At one point there was a guest at one other table nearby and that was all I saw.. no one in the dining room or the rest of the outdoor seating in my immediate area.
    The Racers were still down.
    Red at the Cozy Cone and the fountain was still working.

    Cinderella Merchandise in Elias and Co.
    Noticed some rebar sticking out of the rockwork as I passed by the Condor Flats/Grizzly Airfield work.
  • Page Number: 57
    Seems like a missed opportunity to have the carts closed already. This was around 5:00pm and it was still around 80 degrees.
    GRR is still closed. A new gate being installed.
    Redwood Creek has reopened.
  • Page Number: 58

    The dinner menu.
  • Page Number: 63
    I saw a Monorail pull into the Downtown Disney station so I hopped onboard. I forgot to mention / take a picture last trip but the refurbishment work on the kennel/rental area is complete.
    Backstage in Tomorrowland more of the old chiller units have been removed.
    Several temporary units on trailers are parked nearby.
  • Page Number: 64
    The Matterhorn track that goes through the water has been replaced.
    I exited and reboarded so I could take a look at the Grizzly Peak Airfield work. Taste Pilots is now brown and green and trees are being planted.
    More concrete has been removed. So all that is left is some right up next to the buildings. All the rest is being replaced.
  • Page Number: 65
    The restroom building is now brown and green to match Taste Pilots and blend in with the Grizzly Peak feel.
    More trees waiting to be planted.
    Equipment parked along the walkway toward GRR.

    For you WDW Hat Fans you can always venture out West and see the smaller (but still large) hat at the Disneyland Hotel.
  • Page Number: 68
    Work continues on the fall protection additions to the Disneyland Hotel
    It does not look that different from the last time I checked.
  • Page Number: 69
    The Monorail slide refurbishment is complete. Monorail blue is gone, it is now yellow. So we have Red and Yellow (I commented in my tweet on this that there must be a USC fan at Imagineering!)
  • Page Number: 70
    On the bridge in Downtown Disney several of the small kiosks are not there.
    There were still lines at the Ticket Booths
    No line for a $4 Churro as I walked by.
  • Page Number: 71
    The park was getting busier as is the norm for a Friday night, especially with great weather and no block outs.
    Wait times were still moderate though as of 6:04pm
    Decided to pay a visit to Indiana Jones to mark the 20th Anniversary.
  • Page Number: 72
    I decided to use the single rider option vs wait.
    So I did not get to visit the first part of the queue.
  • Page Number: 73
  • Page Number: 74
    As I waited in the projection hall the house lights came on and the attraction went down.
    I hung out about 10 minutes or so then decided to leave.

    Elvis, Scot Bruce, was performing at the Tomorrowland Terrace.
  • Page Number: 78

    No lights on the Churro sign this evening.
    Stopped by Toy Story for a ride this evening.
  • Page Number: 80
    I did ok considering I had not played in a while and my partner was not a lot of help.
    Where I ranked... good for my vehicle and hour but not even close for the day or month.
  • Page Number: 81
    The fountains around King Tritons.. the lights were on but no water flowing.
    A full moon over Paradise Pier
    The Little Mermaid greeter and wait sign have been moved to under the rotunda. Wonder if a more permanent sign is in the works for both the entrance and exit.
  • Page Number: 82
    A closer look at the sign
    A couple random pics from onboard.
  • Page Number: 83
    I wrapped up my evening back at Disneyland with Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks from Main Street.
