Hop Hop Hippity Hop Into Construction and Refurbishments

I can't believe Easter is this weekend.
It doesn't feel right when it takes place in March.
I associate March with St. Patrick's Day, 4-leaf clovers, and the color Green.
April is the month that reminds me of Easter, pastel colors, Easter Eggs, and bright, vibrant colors.

With Spring Break still in progress, I wanted to get to the Disneyland Resort as early as I can, within reason, to beat any kind of crowds from the Trams and security bag checks

Disneyland had the normal hefty crowd, while Disney California Adventure was a walk-in.

With a majority of turnstiles open, it was quick getting in.

But probably because this part of the route won't be affected by the reroute
