Today I was directed into a spot on the far side of the second floor. So here is a look at the back of the Pixar Pals Parking Structure.
Frosted panels are being installed on the back side facing Walnut.
Panning to the left a little.

They are still working on the additional section. Concrete has been applied to the wire mesh we saw last visit.
Panning across the sky line the visible scaffolding from a couple weeks ago is all gone.
It appears all the work on the back side of the formations is complete.
Someone asked about the metal elements being added to the Pixar Pals structure the past view visits. Here is a look at the Mickey and Friends ones. Assuming the new ones will be used in a similar way.

First stop Disneyland. If anyone is curious on timing.. this picture inside the park was taken 11 minutes after the previous one taking as I walked through the queue toward security.
The Opera House was closed when I walked by. It was open later in the day.

The stroller area near the Haunted Mansion is expanded. The beverage stand that was there was removed and the planter cut back a little it seems
From the other side, some more stroller parking.

Speaking of Galaxy's Edge here are some pictures from Tarzan's Treehouse
The Columbia was in operation today and of course I did not pay attention and it was in the way when I reached the top of the treehouse.
All visible scaffolding is gone.
Work continues on Bonanza Outfitters

Work on the outdoor patio area for Black Tap seems to be inching along.
The Lego store had a sign for the new Steamboat Willie set.
Here is what the set looks like. I am a fan of LEGOs but $90 for this set seemed a little high.
The former DVC space is becoming a Sugarboo & Co store.
Work on the Pop Up Disney location continues. The awnings have been replaced, no more ESPN logos.
No sign yet.
Another view of the patio area construction.
The ticket area blooming too. If you were curious I managed to walk Downtown Disney and find all 12 eggs in under 20 minutes.
Today is a peak day. $149 for a 1 day 1 park ticket.

Grizzly River Run has returned to regular operation from its annual renovation, the warming huts have not returned.
Camp notices have returned to the board near Redwood Creek's entrance.
The trees around GRR have been pruned. You can see the attraction, and storage area much more clearly now.
Some clouds passing through as the sun sets.
I had not noticed this, probably because there always seemed to be people sitting here, but this seat is padded, this is near the Lamplight Lounge entrance.
The Incredicoaster queue was out into the walkway and using three switchbacks.
Jessie's Critter Carousel opened last week. So this was my first visit seeing it.
The wait time was posted at 20 minutes when I was in the area.
A look at part of the backdrop.
The bench.
Some of the critters.
Ghirardelli was passing out regular sized caramel squares today.
The hope was for a trip on the wheel but 60 minutes was beyond my patience.
Nothing is visible from ground level.
Concept art is now on the wall.
I finally finished finding all 36 eggs for the 2019 Eggstravaganza Scavenger Hunt.. so time to enjoy a Phat Cat Swinger concert.
Silly Symphony Swings are closed for renovation for several more weeks.
Mater's Junkyard Jamboree Jukebox
From Mater's queue you can see steel for the building extension. The former bug's theater will house a Spider-Man attraction in a couple years.
Paid a visit to Ariel and friends. The queue moved quickly with only about a 10 minute wait. Then as we entered the first scene we stopped. A cast member ran back and forth a couple of times and after several minutes the ride resumed with no problem.
Since were were stopped for so long I was able to see the full loop of Scuttle's introductions. Here is a video of the two minute sequence.
The smoking area near Grizzly River Run is still closed. May 1st all smoking areas will be removed from inside the parks and Downtown Disney.
The fog seemed to be really dense this evening on GRR.
Main Street USA at 8:41pm
Since my last visit a new Casey Jr Popcorn bucket has become available.
A look at the new Casey Jr. popcorn bucket.
Walked by the Get Your Ears On Dance Party
9:15pm and it seems a majority of guests on Main Street USA were opting to sit and wait for Mickey's Mix Magic. Plenty of space and choices available just 15 min before show time.
I opted for a spot down near the Cinema.
Showtime.
On the way back to the car walked by the charging stations on the second floor. Here is a look at one.
The rest of this picture set will take a look at the Disney Eggstravaganza 2019. It took me just under 6 hours to find all 36 eggs (plus I visited with friends, experienced a few attractions and ate during that time).
Maps are $6.99 this year (up a dollar from last year) plus tax and no discounts. They are available at several locations in both parks and Downtown Disney. Each hunt is for 12 eggs and you can redeem for one prize at any point.
On the left are the Disneyland prizes, the right some merchandise you can purchase.
A closer look at the prizes.
Time to start the hunt.. I will show a couple of pictures for each egg and the location listed on the map.
Starting off on Main Street USA with the Fire Station.
Moving further down the block to the 20th Century Music Company
Candy Palace
Baby Care Center
Listed as the Adventureland Bazaar but it is down further over the seating area.
Pooh Corner
Splash Mountain was a little tricky to find.
New Orleans Square was above the Blue Bayou
Frontierland Shootin' Exposition
Tomorrowland Platform
This was one of the hardest to find for me. The map said it's a small world. So I walked out by the attraction then circled the mall area. Thanks to the parade coming I was not out in the street and kept missing this one on the corner.
Another challenging one for me. This is listed as the Emporium and is in the Toy Store section.
Next up Downtown Disney. The redemption location is in World of Disney.
