What If - Seaside Souvenirs

On April 28, 2011 the scaffolding around the new Seaside Souvenirs were taken down to reveal a teal color lighthouse.

I will say that I wasn't impressed by the color scheme. So I thought different ideas of "what if..."


During re-theming of the souvenir stand


An idea of how I may have done the souvenir stand.

Of course, during this posting the souvenir store has not been completed. So I will wait and see how it turns out.

Star Tours's New Mural

Over at Disneyland, Star Tours received the new mural to correspond with Star Tours: The Adventure Continues.

Because so many people who were entering Tomorrowland stops between Astro Orbitor and Buzz Lightyear, I couldn't get a decent shot as though you were looking in


I think this is still a decent shot of the mural


The only difference are the StarSpeeders.  They are now StarSpeeder 1000 instead of StarSpeeder 3000





That will conclude for this short pictorial
Thanks for stopping by

Until next time...

Construction Progress In The Land

With reports that the week following Easter Sunday have been slow, and taking a look out the window at the Toy Story Parking Lot, I didn't feel that I needed to "rush" over early to the Disneyland Resort

Even just taking some time, my friend and I were able to get there a little after 10:30am.

Once at the Main Entry Plaza, all was very quiet.


Heading inside to California Adventure








Is this the start of the "pump house"?

Themed bubble railing underneath the arch.  There also seems to be a couple of poles with rope "queue" right behind it.

The trees between Goofy's Sky School and Corn Dog Castle have some small railings around their base






Is Disney Channel Rocks worth putting on for 35 people

Is this wooden fence extended queue for Goofy's Sky School?


I don't think this was the best color scheme choice for the Seaside Treasures stand




What is up with all the blue again?


Bubble Gum and Cotton Candy Flavor




Trying to get a peek at the Little Mermaid sign




















Bubble machines have appeared over at the Hollywood Pictures Backlot








Wow! The marquee's missing neon looks to be completed now






Don't miss!
Supposedly not a whole lot of people are venturing back in this area for the many showings of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides 3D sneak peek.


The tarps are down from the Disneyland Emporium and Crystal Arcade








The Innoventions sign is back, but this is not the entrance

For the setup of bleachers, ropes are all that is needed to protect Guests






With the setup down in front of Pirates of the Caribbean, the Veranda has been used as a temporary stroller parking area


Guest Control Cast Members have been set up all along the Rivers edge to answer questions and to keep watch



That will conclude today's pictorial
Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate it.

Until next time...
