Disneyland Resort Starting off 2014 With Refurbishments

Christmas Time 2013 has concluded and now we are transitioning into the so called "off season".
I don't know if there is an "off season" anymore as it seems that part of Disney wants the Parks consistently full of people. Of course, this is while many refurbishments (mostly in Disneyland) are taking place.

Disneyland Resort, Downtown Disney
Walking through Downtown Disney, new banners have been placed.
"Star Command, I'm going to need more time."

With World of Color under refurbishment, all the FastPass machines are for Grizzly River Ruuu......Wha-! Why are they getting a FastPass for Grizzly?!? It's almost a walk on.  And the return time is only like 45 minutes.  I don't think it's gonna get that warm where people are going to flock to the attraction and create a huge demand ha ha

Why is I.B. Hearty the only Big Thunder Mountain Railroad train I see being tested
I hope there aren't any issues where it may not open up in the time they want it.
