Busy Busy Breezy Day

Leaving for the Disneyland Resort, noticed heavy clouds in the sky as well as it being windy. But it didn't seem to deter many people from enjoying the Resort.

Parking at the Toy Story Parking Lot, received a new parking receipt


The old ones would have you circle the section and isle number. Now, these new ones have you write it down. I guess the theory is more people would notice the blank lines, write the information down, take it with you and when you return, just take out your ticket and walk to your car.


First stop, Disney California Adventure!


Exposed curve section of the construction work for the new entrance


Carthay Circle Theatre taking shape fast


Getting different angle shots as I head to Paradise Pier








In a couple of months, these walls will be down and Guests will be able to go under the sea with Ariel




The wave patterns and the sea shells were highlighted


*above picture altered a bit so that the wall behind the glass can be see
It may be hard to see because of the stain glass, but seems to be some sort of painted overhang in the loading area


*picture above altered a bit so that the painting behind the glass can be seen
Another section of the painted overhang


Looking at the water tower for Goofy's Sky School


Work being done on Goofy's Sky School


Some pictures of the new park



-Mickey's Fun Wheel-












Work being done on one of the side panels of the attraction


Another look at Goofy's Sky School water tower




Cars Land construction




Mater's Junkyard Jamboree construction










Looking towards Goofy's Sky School from Silly Symphony Swings










A cloud has taken shape in the sky




Some lush trees have been planted.

Because of the wind, Golden Zephyr was closed so I couldn't go on there to get some air shots


Some touch ups




World of Color's viewing area railings were getting repainted. But it looks like the painters just abandoned their post.






Glimmer and shimmer




Still working on the trim


The support arms underneath the rotunda have now been fully uncovered


The raft has been touched up with some paint again, this time on the white canvas portion


Looking at the Carthay Circle from the runway




As my friend and I were walking around, the crane was actively working, putting this structure together








View of Cars Land from the Blue Sky Cellar patio












Another view of the framework for the Carthay from the Hollywood Pictures Backlot entrance


Blue tarps still on top of the marquee.  Must have some leak issues. Also still missing neon. Wonder what is taking so long?






Heading out to Disneyland





- Disneyland -




The graphic tarp has come down due to the winds


There is a lot of traffic here








Replacing some shingles...


Replacing some wood trim...


Blank on this side of Star Tours


But the sign has appeared on the other side



If you look closely, you can see "From the Creative Forces of Disney and George Lucas" right above the Star Tours title




Looks like some texture was added here


The tarps have come down from the Star Trader


Looking at Star Tours's sign from the second level of Innoventions


I wonder how the Star Tours / Star Trader building would have looked like if the brown portion of the roof had been repainted blue too


Inside Innoventions, two new posters for Cars 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides


Riding the monorail, looking at the Carthay Circle Theatre construction


Now looking at Disney California Adventure's construction of their new entrance


Over in Fronteirland, a new building frame has been constructed








Looking down on the structure from the Columbia














Heading out for the day

Hope you enjoyed these pictures

Until next time...
