Vine, Oh Vine

This week has been quite busy, so I was out of my normal routine.  Because I didn't know if, and when, I would get to visit the Disneyland Resort, I pretty much went when I could in the late afternoon.
Granted the main thing taking place is the refurbishment over at Alice in Wonderland since it will be opening soon.

Riding the monorail to see what has been done to the vine

For the most part, it appears that they painted a darker green color around the bus bar.
It does add a pop of color to the vine

Do you see anything different with the doors leading outside?
They used to have Cards trying to prevent you from escaping the Queen of Hearts.
It doesn't look like the Cards are returning.
Instead it is a swirl.
I wonder what kind of effects, if any, will be presented in this scene

A closer look at the swirls along the edge of the vine

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, New Orleans Square, Club 33, Rooftop, Refurbishment, Refurbish, Refurb
Checking out New Orleans Square.
As I stand by the patio of the Riverbelle Terrace, I am looking up towards the sails of the ship
Before one could see the sails to give the illusion that there was a harbor just on the other side of the city.
But with the new additions to the rooftops, it appears that the sails and the effect are getting lost

  1. I just assumed that the wrapped up props in the lagoon were the same props as before, just wrapped up to protect them from the painting. Though I could be wrong.

    I also loved that "Jealous?" caption.
