Small Details Adding A Big Difference

What do we have in store with today's visit to the Disneyland Resort?
Let's take a look...


What I had to face at 10:15am


While waiting to get in, noticed some new lettering placed on Oswalds


And some new lights


Hot Dog! .. I mean Corn Dog!


New hot dog colored umbrellas for Corn Dog Castle.  They are nicely themed. Love it!


While on Mickey's Fun Wheel, taking a look towards the Cove Bar


Some of the themed signs on the wall


Radiator Springs Racers


Another look towards the Cove Bar signs


All is quite at the moment in Cars Land




The flag for Sarge's Surplus Hut has been placed


Some Mad T Party props






I thought someone was sending me Morse Code on the Fun Wheel cause I kept seeing flashing coming from the Cozy Cone Motel.  But upon closer look, it was the little cone wheel out front. The sunlight was bouncing off of it as it was rotating








Blue Sky






I love the signs in the Cove Bar


And I love the Cove Bar sign


















Mickeys!!




Some filming going on today




Walls around Ghirardelli were down




It seems that Cast Members could go inside and check out the new place




Seating area outside












Quickly snapped a shot of the mural when the Cast Member quickly moved away from the door








Themed trash cans along Route 66






Floor signage for Cozy Cone Motel indicating where snacks can be found






Elias & Company lettering have been installed on the building


Some chains and poles which will eventually be used for the Red Car Trolley


Well will you look at that! The marquee for Carthay Circle Theatre..


Carthay Circle Theatre Restaurant




So many signs are appearing on Buena Vista Street!


Lights on the outside corner of FF&P Cafe and Clarabelle's Ice Cream






Water Whiz sign on the rooftop of Buena Vista Street shops




Elias & Co sign




Gorgeous!
















Sign over by Hyperion Theater


Chained queue for Red Car Trolley


Warning signage for Red Car Trolley, which can be found at each of the three stops


Soon to be used for Radiator Springs Racers Fast Pass distribution


Buena Vista Street Fountain


A canopy for Clarebelle's Ice Cream


Soon to be queue area for Red Car Trolley








Clarabelle's Ice Cream




" Carthay Circle Theatre - Opening night ever night"






Over at the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail...


.. we see that the Cast Members received new costumes with the Wilderness Explorer badge patch






California Limited... I wonder what sign this is for


Oh, a train! I love it!


Another sign above Buena Vista Street, for Tru Tone Radios.

Disneyland time,


Looking at Carnation Cafe


A new Carnation Cafe flat sign installed along the building




Are these fake trees?   Man, these fake trees look like the model trees you'd buy for a Christmas Town


Buena Vista Street from the Monorail


Matterhorn Bobsleds




Another view of Buena Vista Street from the Monorail


Batteries can be found at Oswald's


This little birdie was signing a song as I waited for the Monorail to depart the Downtown Disney station


Gorgeous!


Matterhorn loading area




Carnation Plaza Gardens slowly becoming Princess Fantasy Faire






Another look at Carnation Cafe






Another sign... hidden behind a tree. Ugh!


Tires..


..Lubrication. All found at Oswald's


Sepulveda painted on






Los Feliz Five & Dime sign installed. Looks good!


Oh, so that's what the sign is for... "Ensure your Future - Licensed Insurance Agents and Brokers"


Some new fencing over by the trees


I guess that's what the white poles were for




The arrow has changed directions to pointed that the loading area for now is where the drop off is.  From what I was told, they are going to be placed more chained queue here like they did at the Toy Story Parking Lot loading/Unloading area

That will conclude today's pictorial

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did

Until Next Time...
