Let the Memories Begin... with Walls and Construction!

What a great day to visit the Disneyland Resort.
Don't you think?

Well lets go...


Arriving at the Toy Story parking lot around 10:00am and they only had two rows of cars filled


Looking at an empty lot, which means that it's not busy


All the attractions closed for today


The Main Entry Plaza received new banners for Disney's new promotion "Let the Memories Begin".  I won't give it an "!" because I am not excited about it


Add some clouds and I would be reminded of "Year of a Million Dreams"

- Disney California Adventure -


My Disneyland Resort ticket




Heading towards Paradise Pier


The World of Color banners have been replaced with the Blue Sky Cellar ones






A new banner dealing with The Little Mermaid attraction




Speaking of the Little Mermaid attraction...








Screamin' was a walk-on. But I didn't have time for that, I had to go to Mickey's Fun Wheel first


A crane has appeared next to Goofy's Sky School

-Mickey's Fun Wheel-












Cars Land construction


























Just above the edge of the "mountain" you may be able to catch the top part of "Willys Butte"












Looks like the frame for Goofy's Sky School sign is being set up




Luck-of-the-Irish Duffy


Whoa! These signs were not here when I first came through to Paradise Pier.
Some new signs to indicate where to go for the attraction(s) one may be looking for






Of course, I am sure a majority of Guests will not see these signs. So when they get to the construction walls over by the former Malliboomer area, they will look all confused.

Of course, the Disney California Adventure map also indicates about the temporary inaccessible area




























The Animation Academy has a temporary entrance


Which can be found on the side of the building


The scrolling marquee states where to go for Animation Academy


As well as for Turtle Talk with Crush


To get to Turtle Talk, you have to go over by the Hollywood Pictures Backlot restrooms


And then through the side door, which is "backstage"


The diagram shows how it's laid out




Time to go over to Disneyland

Entering the gates to Disneyland..







Whoa! It looks like I could touch this wall




Soon pictures of strangers will be projected onto the Small World facade
Oh, and the clock tower face was working. Yay!


Painting taking place




Toon Town's City Hall is under tarps


Goofy being goofy




Over at the entrance to Critter Country, we find walls




The whole Critter Country area is under refurbishment




Time to head out


But instead of going back to Toy Story lot via bus, I decided to walk











That will conclude this pictorial.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
I really appreciate it.

Until next time...
