This page is to help you quickly jump through this picture set. Below you will see a listing of the pages and the captions on that page.

  • Page Number: 1
    As you arrive at the Disneyland Resort they ask if you are aware of the Selfie Stick Ban and offer this handout at the parking lot toll booths.
    The information is repeated in 9 languages.
  • Page Number: 2
    Walking to and through the tram stop there are several signs too. Once you board the tram they made an announcement too.
    As you approach the security tents signs are up too.
  • Page Number: 3
    So if you reach security and are not aware of the ban you really are oblivious or purposely not paying attention.
    The word of the day on Friday/ Also not no attractions listed as closed (Innoventions & Magic Eye Theatre I guess do not count).
    No lines at the ticket booths this morning, this was around 7:30am

    Looking toward DCA and the back of Soarin.

    Some painting going on.
    Thought maybe the next window would be unveiled this week, no such luck.
    Walking up Main Street USA on this overcast morning.

    You could walk all the way up to the hub then they had to roped off until park opening.
    As soon as the ropes were dropped a large mass of guests moved quickly to Fantasyland.

    Here is a video of the opening moments. There is a new 60th spiel and then you can see the mob move toward Peter Pan.
    We came to a halt here as the mass of guests was funneled into the queue.
    Inching closer.

    The United States Air Force Honor Guard approaching.
    I thought this was odd staging. The two holding the banner stood right at show center the entire time blocking the view and so close to guests you could not get a picture of it really.
    Some stills of their performance (Video clips at the end of this sequence).
