Disneyland Resort Pictures
The text list below contains the captions of all images in the set.
A look at the 4th floor elevator shaft that is taking shape. Looks like the interior walls are installed.
The walls in the Tram Plaza have been reconfigured. They are now moved right up to/around the escalators and elevators so work can start on the last sections.
The main center part of the project is now open.
A wider view of the project. Notice the small area on the left that is left to work on.
A closer look.
The one area that is left. Looks like a ring on the left for a statue for this side of the plaza to match the Pixar Ball on the other side perhaps.
A look at the recently opened plaza area.
The area that is left to work on in front of the elevators. The concrete is the old temporary walkway. Assuming this will be redone to match.
A closer look.
The view from the escalators of the current walkway through the two fences.
A ground level view of the new elevator shaft.
Here you can see the framing and back side of the interior walls.
The tram drop off area.
Turning around another view of the new elevator shaft.
A closer look starting at the bottom
The middle section
Nearing the top.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge billboards at the drop off, surprised Halloween Time has not taken over.
Even with all the trees there is not a lot of shade right now. They need to grow some.
A look at one of the trees.
The tram plaza from the Pixar Pals Structure
The new bridge has opened today.
The completed stairs to Magic Way.
Guests on the walkway to Downtown Disney.
Work on the roof level parking at the Disneyland Hotel, hard to tell what is being done from this distance.
The signs were not in use this afternoon.
The corner of Magic Way and Disneyland Drive
Making my way to the bridge over Magic Way.
Looking toward Disneyland Drive
Looking the other way toward the parking entrances.
Looking back.
The stairs to Magic Way.
Looks like a permanent sign is coming soon, for now a temporary one on the sidewalk.
The Downtown Disney parking lot. This lot is currently being used by Disneyland Cast Members, no guest parking.
The ramp from the bridge down to the walkway.
Looking toward Disneyland Drive. The Downtown Disney sign is removed.
Some of the signage near the ramp to the bridge.
Looking toward Magic Way with the ramp overhead.
Turning around and heading toward Downtown Disney.
The parking lot. In the distance you can see the Monorail Station and beyond it the Paradise Pier Hotel.
I was hoping they would build a path and new security screening so you could enter right by the Monorail. No such luck.
The walkway jogs around the security check point. Wonder if the plan is to relocate that. Also kind of awkward if you plan to go to the Disneyland Hotel you have to either go through security or walk back and around. There is no straight path.
The Disneyland Hotel Fantasy Tower Lobby is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Haunted Mansion. These are the main entrance sliding doors.
And inside this large poster covers the map.
A closer look
Haunted Mansion merchandise inside the gift shop nearby.
As you walk toward the convention center there is another photo backdrop/poster.
Due to the heat (it was in the 90s) no one sitting outside this afternoon.
Passing Tangaroa Terrace
The Disneyland Hotel Monorail slides.
A table and chairs near the out door fireplace.
Passing through the Frontier Tower lobby, a quick look at the Big Thunder model.
Fences up in the Simba parking lot. This is being used as the primary parking lot for Downtown Disney.
Making my way to the Paradise Pier Hotel
As you enter on the left side of the walkway has this mural on the windows.
Near the stair case is this dolphin from King Triton's Carousel that was on Paradise Pier.
A closer look.

More walls as you head toward Tomorrowland. The south side of the entrance is now behind walls for the removal of the rocks and other pavement work.
Time for a flight on the Astro Orbitor to check out the entrance work from above. Here is a brief video and then the same shot in slow motion to see the work.
Starting on the left side the walls are up but demo work has not begun yet.
Moving toward the middle there is a walkway between the walls to reach the hub.
A closer look at the center walkway (notice Captain Hook off to the top right of the frame).
On the right side (north side) the walls are just around the planter area now. The hub walkway is open.
Moving down to ground level now.
The center walkway.
The recently completed brick work and curb removal in the hub.
The walls on the south side extend to the hub, so more curb is going away.
