Construction Sites to See

Getting a late start on today's visit to the Disneyland Resort. Even though my friend and I did not arrive until a little after 11am, the crowds were very light in Disney California Adventure. Although I can't say the same thing for Disneyland

-Disney California Adventure -


These two turnstiles have moved over to the far right, behind the letter "A"


More of the mural has been taken down on the east side








Taking a look at CarsLand from the parade route


Scaffolding has now been placed in front of the Little Mermaid attraction


The tarp has been taken down to reveal the side wall for the Little Mermaid attraction











Looking at Mullholland Madness


Side view of the Little Mermaid attraction






Artificial pine trees are now being placed on the hillside of CarsLand



Taking a ride on Mickey's Fun Wheel










Is that building Radiator Springs Curios ?








Another look at the newly placed trees, likely just for seeing how they look for now


Framework for one of the Cozy Cone Motel looks to be up in place








Icee Blue water


Some new track seen


Could these be from the species Pinus Ponderosa ?








Hey, Look! I am over here. Come and say hi to me




It seems that the times have been changed for "Disney Channel Rocks!".  For Thursday, the times were supposedly 10:30, 11:30, 12:20, and 13:10. But it turns out that only three shows are being given for the time being










Some people out there feel that Disney is cheapening out by having a flat wall. Some have referred to New Orleans and how some shops were built along side Pirates show building.


But looking at it, it doesn't look like there would be room. Remember : World of Color uses this area for their shows. So to have an exit for Little Mermaid, possibly extended queue, World of Color usage, having shops along side wouldn't be very practical.












Some more CarsLand shots










Looking at the track map and possible stops for the Red Car Trolley


These look to be parade lights that will extend upward, unlike Disneyland's Main Street parade lights

Man, it looks busy!








I don't know the full story, just going by what I can gather. But it seems that some sort of valve had broke, possibly dealing with an air supply flow. Whether or not that is the case, I am not sure.


The Star Tours sign has been replaced with a smooth grafic




Disneyland Twitter posted that new Fuzzball and Hooter stuff plush were available at Star Trader, so I went to go check it out






Also some new arrivals at Star Trader for the new movie Tron Legacy




Heading out and looking across the Plaza




Walking along Harbor






Checking the backside of CarsLand





And for your shopping convenience...
