  This trip marked my 13th trip of the year, appropriately enough on Friday the 13th. Also the first of my new Disneyland signature pass (top). First time since 2000 that I have had a pass with block out dates.

  The archway is left but nothing else in the old Big Thunder Ranch area
  The old skyway building is now clearly visible. Unfortuantely Disney filed a permit last week to remove it. So soon it should disappear too.
  Off to the right more backstage support buildings have been removed since my last trip. It appears to be cleared all the way to Critter Country now.
