Disneyland Resort Pictures
The text list below contains the captions of all images in the set.
The new Mickey and Friends Parking Structure elevator shaft is moving along. It looks like it is just about ready for exterior paneling.
A closer look starting on the ground level.
Moving up.
Preparations for new pavers in the area between the elevators and rest of the tram stop.
Panning to the right
And further to the right you can see where the new pavers from the last phase of the project stop.
A look at the 3rd floor elevator shaft.
Moving over to the corner of the garage work on the last section nearest the tram route is moving along.
A closer look.
A reverse angle of the work by the elevators.
Starting to install the pavers starting on the far side.
Some work being done over the restrooms (between the elevator and escalators. Hard to tell what at this point.
The original large signs for each floor are now removed. Temporary boxes are in their place.
Wonder if these are hints of what is to come, so it will mirror the Pixar Pals structure with smaller rectangular signs for each escalator.
A ground level view of the work above the restrooms.
Billboards still feature Galaxys Edge, no Halloween
A couple of fenced in areas as you approach security. Best guess is some more signage.
The tram stop furthest to the right is fenced off. You could not really tell what was being worked on if it was the ground or railings.
Arriving at the parks about 5 minutes before they were to open for the day. All is quiet at the DVC kiosk.
Same goes for the ticket booths. Several open and no waits.
This evening DCA closed at 6pm for a Halloween Party.
My first stop of the day, Disney California Adventure.
Passing through Carthay Circle.
Grizzly Peak Airfield was a near ghost town except for an occasional guest heading into Soarin.
Continuing up the trail still quiet. Just a cast member or two out. GRR and Redwood Creek were both still closed, with later openings.
Further up the trail backdrops from the Halloween parties that are not removed during the day.
Mickey has yet to return to the top of the Silly Symphony Swings.
My young nephew was with us this visit so we visited Jessie's Critter Carousel (he really enjoys it).
Today he had the attraction to himself. He went back to back trying out two different critters. Had a private ride with no other guests onboard.
Walked onto Toy Story Midway Mania, had to wait for the next tram to pull in only. Unfortunately our guns did not work. They shot straight left off the screen. So I set a new record for myself. 0 Points (I was green). Not sure how but the other gun managed to hit something so they beat me with a 100 :)
Sulley was out meeting guests.. not many in the area at 8:30am though.
A check of the Avenger's Campus from the Pixar Pal-A-Round.
The Simba parking lot project is moving along and looks to be re-stripped and ready to go for the most part. Looked like an entrance on Katella was open.
Not many cars in the lot at this hour.
A closer look at the fenced in area.
Went for a flight on the Golden Zephyr since there was no wait.
Avenger's Campus work from Mater's Junkyard in Cars Land.
Time for Luigis Honkin' Haul-O-Ween
You can see some of the Avengers steel rising up beyond Luigis now.
Only a dozen cousins dancing this morning.
Cross Street this morning.
Avenger's Campus work from the parade route.
Mickey's PhilharMagic is splitting time with a sneak peek at Maleficent II. Mickey has the theater till 5pm then Maleficent takes over at 6pm. Today with a 6pm park closing for the party means day guests do not see the preview.
The theater schedule on the large poster before entering the building.
The walls have been pushed back in Hollywood Land. The Red Car track has stayed so the rumor/thought of it turning left instead of right seems to be incorrect.
The new restaurant in the Avenger's Campus area rising above the construction walls.
To the left the steel for the Avengers building is much more visible with the new wall location.
The pavement in the area has been replaced with this brickwork design.
And some concrete in the design too.
The FastPass distribution color scheme matches the new grounds.
The sun was not in a good spot to see the new area.
Since my last visit the old marquee for the Sunset Showcase Theatre has been removed.
No real visible signs progress with the Red Car work on Buena Vista Street.
Over to Disneyland now. Exterior renovation is underway at the Opera House. It is still open.
Main Street USA at 10am.
Walls now encircle almost all the planters and walkways on the east (right/Tomorrowland) side of the hub.
Just the new planters around the wait time board are spared.
Speaking of wait times. A check at 10:04am.
Walls go out into the street for more curb removal.
Work continues on the Matterhorn with one side still closed while they repair the facade.
Four light trusses have been added in the hub area. Have not seen what the event is. Seems too early for holiday parade taping. One lead is Disney night on Dancing with the Stars is coming up so maybe something to do with that filming.
The Adventureland sign has received a new addition (on the right) since my last visit).
Work still continues with fencing up around the base.
From the walkway.
This sign went up several weeks (months) ago now but I have not ridden the Jungle Cruise until today, so here is my first clear picture of it.
Thought this was interesting. Two different brands of ketchup at Stage Door Cafe and Golden Horseshoe today.
While eating a magician was making the rounds to tables. He appears to be one of the performers who took part in the 2014 Halloween Carnival in Big Thunder Ranch. He did not visit our table though.
The Bootstrappers performing in New Orleans Square.
Visiting Batuu this afternoon.
Had some first time visitors to Black Spire Outpost with me so we decided to wait in line for Smuggler's Run. Posted at 35 min which was accurate. It took us about 32 minutes to the preshow room.
Noticed what appears to be a warning sign over a sign.. has it always been that way (I had not noticed)
Random detail picture while I waited...
Ready to board.. finally drew the Pilot job today.
Passing through the marketplace.
Halloween treats in Critter Country.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Casey Jr Time... only one train in operation so it was a very slow moving line.
Opted to sit in the caboose facing backwards.
Several trees were wrapped up, guessing new railings going in around them?
The Disneyland Monorail fleet has returned to normal operations and are no longer closed mid day.
Not a good picture.. but grass has been added a fence and then beyond it paved parking on the site of the former Carousel Inn that was planned to be the Eastern Gateway walkway.
A look at the alternative plan the expansion of the Western Gateway with this walkway and beyond it the Pixar Pals Parking structure in the distance.
Time for a flight on the Astro Orbitor. From here you can get a much better view of the work around the hub. Starting nearest the Plaza Inn.
The rockwork and planters are gone as well as the curb and sidewalk on the hub side.
The narrow path to reach the hub.
Not a lot of visible change on the north side work.
Pass #2.
On Pass #3 a closer look. Wonder if that board is marking the new planter.. if so it looks to be a little narrower but longer.
Maleficent on the move.
There were a couple of light trusses set up near the large pumpkin in Town Square too.
Ordered lunch at the Stage Door Cafe and pickedup this free button for using mobile order and being and Annual Passholder.
Mickey and Friends Band-Tastic Cavalcade has returned to fill in between MSEP and Christmas.
A couple of video clips of the Cavalcade.
A visit to the Haunted Mansion Holiday.
Last visit I spotted the Monkey Bride so this time tried for a better picture.. you can sort of make it out.
The attraction slowed so a second attempt.
Sally in the graveyard.
My dinner view this evening from the Hungry Bear.
Making a second visit to Batuu today.
We used single rider this visit and waited less than 15 minutes.
Stopped by the Villains Dance Party.. just the Queen of Hearts out when I was in the area.
No lights on the Pizza Planet sign this evening.
Main Street USA around 7:20pm
Mickey Pumpkin flanked by two light trusses.
One last Main Street USA picture before leaving.
Since this morning they have installed a section of pavers.
