May Day at the Disneyland Resort

The first day of May and the 60th celebration kickoff gets closer and closer.

Today Disneyland and Disney California Adventure opened at 9 a.m. which meant a lot of people were up and eager to experience the Parks.

One thing I noticed at Luigi's, behind the green shurbry (pictured on the right), a building has appeared.
Maybe this is the maintenance building for the new cars that will move around the field

With the 60th anniversary kick off fast approaching, it's only appropriate to change out the decade old window displays at the Emporium on Main Street

I wonder if each of these ribbons describe the overall window display scene

There are some people out there that think a Disneyland 60th exhibit will take place in Innoventions.
I am not one of them.
If I am wrong, then I will admit my mistake.

Riding the Disneyland Monorail to see how the transformation from Condor Flats to Grizzly Peak Airfield is shaping up

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Monorail, Condor, Flats, Grizzly, Peak, Airfield, Humphrey's, Fly, Buy, Refurbishment, Refurbish, Refurb
The old Fly 'n' Buy has been renamed to Humphrey's

That's probably a nod to Humphrey the Bear, who starred in 7 cartoon shorts, 2 of which were created just for his own series, before Disney did away with the theatrical cartoon shorts.

  1. I'm sure you saw this: http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/05/%C2%98new-main-street-enchanted-windows-to-debut-for-disneyland-resort-diamondcelebration/
    So The little ribbon poem does correspond to the theme of the windows (from top to bottom: Aladdin, Frozen, Peter Pan, Cinderella, Toy Story, Princess and the Frog). I can't wait to see them, although if they are unveiling them 2 at a time throughout the summer I will have to catch the last 4 on your blog since I will be blacked out
