Disneyland Resort Pictures
The text list below contains the captions of all images in the set.
Noticed the old Small World Boats have been stacked up now
This is in the CM parking lot adjacent to the Mickey and Friends garage
Still the Toy Story billboards at the tram stop
The Astro Orbitor pieces are backstage being worked on
First stop DCA
There seemed to be a fair number of guests roaming the park
The vineyard is looking healthy
There was one radio station broadcasting near the winery
The wine walk that features California wines moved from the farm area to the Wharf
The World Beer Styles seminar
No real visible progress on the old Lucky Fortune Cookie
The Beer walk
Noticed the large banner on the backstage gate
Looks like new plants going in (this is along the water where the Wharf bridge meets the construction walls
Speaking of construction, let us see what is going on in the Bay this week...
Still moving dirt around in the viewing area
More equipment is on the platform now
Quite a few workers too
They were installing the last pieces of the platform today. By the evening they were all in place
Work on the control booth (not sure that is what it is but that is what I am calling it) is coming along.
King Tritons is moving along very slowly from this vantage point
More holes near Screamin
A better shot
A look backstage, you still cannot make out what is going in...
Look like a track or rails or guides are going in
More scaffolding is down on the Grand CA Villas
More shots in the Construction Progress section tomorrow.
A closer look at the track
There were CMs being trained at the Fun Wheel
Also noticed the lights were on
A couple Toy Story shots
My score
Still a long ways from making the leaderboard
Back outside and the new holes near Screamin
Looks like the non-swinging entrance is still through the exit.
Most of the signage is now up.
Used a game card at the Games of the Boardwalk. The two horses from our group are 7 and 8.. at the midway point it was close
But in the end they lost
A better shot at some of the signs now
The entrance sign, definitely not as grand as the concept art one, but still nice.
Painting going on nearby (which made it hard to get any good photos from this side
The Zephyr was closed still
Over at the Orange Stinger the base is now filled with compacted dirt.
The new wall is coming along
More shots of the compacted dirt for those that enjoy the progress
Just a reminder that for even more shots of the work check out the Construction Progress section (also there if you go to the beginning of the work are shots of the before as well as the concept art)
This will be going behind walls within the month (rumor has it)
So will the dino...
Disney never misses an opportunity..
Much better lighting this week..
Not sure why I took this random shot of the Golden Dreams building but something stood out to me.. and now I cannot remember...
Not much change on the small bit of the restrooms that are visible
A wine seminar going on.
A shot of the US NAvy Culinary Comp. Winners (I missed the presentation though)
The random wall is still up on Main Street
Looks like they will be filming a segment of the Street Party
Notice all the balloons given to the extras that will be in the background
The line board around 3:45ish
Stopped by Billy Hill for a set
The walls are still up in Frontierland
As are the Pixie Hollow ones
The Astro Orbitor has been taken apart
I believe this is new.. this is near the hub as you walk straight toward partners from Main Street. So now all the entrances have smooth ramps.. so you can go up Main Street, through the hub, past Partners, and through the castle.. going up and down ramps the entire way without having to snake around
The Flag Retreat
Next up the Lasseter Family Winery presentation at DCA
John and his wife Nancy own a winer in Sonoma Valley and were on hand to talk about it
Nancy is in the yello with the mic... the other woman is their winemaker and I missed her name
The samples
They had two pieces of concept art of the new winery they want to build
It was a full seminar
Last week I did not mention, but almost all dining locations in DCA have some menu items for the Food and Wine event. Here are the added options at the Farmers Market (the chicken place in the farm area)
This is where the CA wine walk was last week. The new location near the tortilla tour makes more sense
Now over to the hotel to see what is new
The walls are down around this set of doors
But there is a curtain up inside off to the side still.. must be painting
Some supplies have shown up near the fireplace outside, but no other visible work
More scaffolding is down
The large two story window is the Grand Villa that has a view of the pool complex (it is a great view, I was able to visit he balcony there on the hard hat tour I went on several weeks ago, no pictures were allowed though)
A band at Downtown Disney
Illuminations is now closed
Heading back to the parks
The line board around 5:30
Some visible work in Tomorrowland on the monorail supports. They stripped away the concrete
Stopped by Innoventions
Tom is still celebrating Earth Day
Saw this short show before entering the dream home. It was a sales pitch for the homebuilder
Caught a demo of the magic mirror in the girls bedroom.
Not much visible change on the fountain in Tomorrowland
It is kind of odd to see right to the hub
It was raining so only snapped off a couple quick shots.. too bad the lights were not on yet guess next trip I will see them
Looks like all the pieces of the platform are now installed.
