No luck...
Next up Club Mouse Beat.
Denied again.
The Beauty and the Beast queue stretched to the center of the park this morning.
I am assuming it is because it still prior to park opening and the queue is not filled yet.
Walking by The Beauty and the Beast queue
8:55am - Found the end of the line for Pooh's Hunny Hunt. Our first destination today.
Guests already claiming spots for the 2pm Disney Harmony in Color Parade
9:04am - Reached the queue entrance and the wait time had increased slightly since we joined the line.
The wait ahead.
The drinking fountains are off.
Made our way inside.
Looking back at the queue.
This cast member was explaining to guests how to group their party.

9:59am - So continued on to the Mickey's Magical Music World queue for the 10:50am show and found the end of the line.
We succeeded it making it this one with maybe 50 guests behind us before they cut it. Looking ahead a lot of people between us and the door, but they had two CMs with counters so we should be ok.
As we moved toward the theatre a look at the Beast's Castle
I can see the theatre entrance
Almost inside.
A mural at the stairs as you enter (too many people to get a good picture of the stairs.
We had a choice of lower and on the sides or higher and center. I choose nearly dead center but we are in the very last row.
A look around the balcony and theater.
The top half dozen rows on either side were mostly empty. I was surprised they did not allow more guests in to fill them.
The ceiling of the theatre
No video or pictures are allowed during the show. Here is a video Tokyo Disneyland posted.
After the show it was a little crowded as over 1,000 people tried to squeeze through a small walkway. The portion of walkway on the left is full of guests waiting for the next show.
Space Mountain is closed for renovation
The 40th Photo op had a half dozen groups queued up.
The Pan Galactic Pizza Port closed for renovation, glad I stopped there the first day.
Since the restaurant is closed a couple carts selling treats out front instead.
Plenty of seating though.
A hand wash station with no wait.
Mickey shaped soap dispensors
Took a walk through Plazma Ray's
Passing by World Bazaar
Some of my group were in line for Waffles.. they said grab a table. That is a challenge. Especially considering a number of guests have no problem leaving personal belongings to hold a spot while they go stand in line.
The line for Waffles

Nice and quiet here.
I forgot to ask about a translation device.. they used to have them here. No cast member offered one either so maybe they are gone.
