    For the 60th most (maybe all) of the pressed penny machines received new designs. Here is one in the exit area of the Opera House.
    I wanted to check out the new Emporium window but with Soundsational going on that was not a good option so I will double back later.

    Crossing the parade.
    A check of the wait times around 4:45pm
    Took a quick look in the Jolly Holiday Bakery and there is a large cupcake advertising the special 60th one.
  • Page Number: 17
    This one did not have the logo on top, the ones that did were had fogged glass so the pictures were bad.
  • Page Number: 18
    A fair number of cast members working the FastPass machines for Fantasmic. No real rush on them for the second show right now.
    The Springtime Round up banner is still up, but it is closed.

    A new photo spot for the Diamond Celebration featuring Big Thunder opened today on the Big Thunder trail.
    Like the others it is a forced perspective op. Here is the front view.
  • Page Number: 22
    The smoking area has been closed along the trail. So if you want to smoke you are limited to the one in Fantasyland near Matterhorn or the one along the Rivers of America, but that one closes early for Fantasmic. So the park is getting closer to being smoke free.
    Due to Paint the Night the Storybook Canal Boats close early.
  • Page Number: 23
    The smoking area near the Matterhorn has been pushed to the corner. It still comes out out to the walkway though.

    Most of the curb seating along Main Street was taken already. This was about 3 hours before the parade was to step off.

    Someone asked about the old Duffy Meet and Greet location earlier this week. Here is what the area looked like on Friday. The artists have moved over there.
    A Disneyland 60th Photo spot for Screamin. This opened several weeks ago but I never made it back to this area to get a picture. There are two more coming.. one in Bugs Land and one for Haunted Mansion.
    You really want to be square to the backdrop for everything to line up. If you are off a little, as I am in this shot it really shows.
  • Page Number: 50
    Compared to this one that is lined up.
    Only a 30 min wait for Toy Story this evening.
