- We start off bright and early heading to the Mickey and Friends garage. While driving down Katella tried to get a good shot of the tank (well I did not since I was driving but recruited a helper)
- Parked the car and headed for the Disneyland Hotel. A better shot than I normally have of the work on the far side of the garage
- All the trams ready to go for the day.
- Quite a few others had the same idea as me to park and walk vs dealing with the hotel parking.
- The Maliboomer was still standing but scaffolding all the way up now.
- Spent the next four hours at Destination D. Look for a special section in our D23 area covering this event.
- We had a lunch break at noon. So I headed for Disneyland to grab a bite to eat.
- Took the monorail over.
- No visible changes from this angle (and I could not get a shot through the wall)
- Main Street traffic is back to normal after the few weeks of rail work.
- After lunch had to make a quick run out to the car. Noticed more of the Indy camouflage is up.
- They did not use the outdoor lot (yet). I walked back and spent the next 4 hours at Destination D.
- Dinner break was around 5:45pm. I took a quick peek at the Disneyland Hotel work (but the sun was in a bad spot, so I apologize for the pics)
- We walked through DD, vouchers were available for the Cars screening. Anyone go to this? Curious how it was.
- A small army of TDA folks with balloons at the security tents. Not sure what was going on.
- No visible progress on the mural.
- But elecTRONica is moving along.
- Heading down the parade route. The mountains are really taking shape now.
- The old parade gate was open so you can see some of the tail fins taking shape for the Cadillac range. Int he foreground is Flos
- The Maliboomer as the sun is setting
- A pan from right to left. The shakes building is rubble now.
- PT Fleas is gone.. moved up the road.
- One last look at the fins.
- Mermaid.
- Looking back at the Mountains.
- Now around to Mermaid where you can see more scaffolding going up and concrete on the exterior.
- A closer look
- Noticed the light that was gone (on the bottom) is back.
- The PT Flea building is close to its new location.
- It looks to be right next to the new foundation and still on its wheels awaiting final placement.
- Is this all they used to push/pull it?
- To make a path they removed the planters.
- Now a spin on the Fun Wheel. It was about 7pm so quite dark but luckily with a longer shutter speed you could still get some ok shots.
- The buildings are really taking shape now.
- Some of the concrete forms are down in the tire pit.
- Lizzies is frames already. Will this be the first building done?
- Looking down in the dining area looks like the planters have been removed.
- Over at the PT Flea building.
- Where PTs used to be.
- The farm gang stilling hanging out backstage. They actually look pretty good there and its something to see from the Fun Wheel.
- Toy Story reopens soon (on Sunday it sounded like it was cycling.. you could hear the door latches opening and being closed).
- The ice cream store has been renamed to Paradise Pier Ice Cream Co.
- The menu.
- One last look before I headed back to Destination D for the evening session.
- To close with one shot I forgot from a second camera.. shot from the Fun Wheel as we went around.
