Getting It Done

Lately I haven't been satisfied with the early morning Toy Story Parking Lot Shuttles and how it has been conducted.  At times it seems like it takes forever.  That is why my friend and I have been walking to the Resort a lot. Plus it doesn't hurt when the weather has been very cooperative.  This morning there was a heavy mist coming down!


I just wish they would get rid of this thing


Still in the possessive


A big Buzz Lightyear World of Color graphic on a bus.  I don't think I have ever seen this before.

Finally to the Resort


Getting ready for tomorrows opening of the new entry turnstiles. The graphics that showed many of the Disney characters from the 20's-30's have been taken off the wall


Once inside Disney California Adventure, looking at the "pump house" building


Carthay Circle Theatre all tarped up


Tarps covering the area where the Condor Flats sign resides


A little after 10:00am and not many people in Disney California Adventure.  The Little Mermaid attraction is pretty much a walk on. Of course, it won't take long for that to change.

Mater's Junkyard Jamboree shack starting to take shape


Cars Land construction






















The courthouse for Radiator Springs Racers is taking shape






















Some of the people making this all possible




Looks like this archway is complete with all the lights in place


Lights on the condiment station


Still waiting for the lights on this one


Once again, the old P.T. Fleas structure that was moved to the seating are of the Paradise Pier restaurants is empty


Today's entertainment at the Paradise Pier restaurants


Riding the Little Mermaid and the "Under the Sea" segment did seem a bit darker than the first time I rode it










Some work had been done on the parade route by the winery








Another view of the shack




On this piece of concept art, it appears as though the shack will house Mater.




Looking at some of the steel of the Carthay Circle Theater behind the trees




Another view of the "pump house"




Slim pretty much in his spot at the entrance to "a bug's land"


Francis is now taking residence in "a bug's land" too.  I take it that the characters from "A Bug's Life" that were in the farm area will be finding a permanent home inside "a bug's land"






The guide maps in different languages have been updated with the Little Mermaid on the cover.


About to head out to Disneyland




Security cameras placed underneath Disney California Adventure's marquee






I just wish they would take the Memories marquee.  It doesn't make this picture look any pretty

- Monorail -


More Red Car Trolley track placement on the right side of the fountain






One train operation leads to a long line


I don't know if I would want to wait in this line


Matterhorn refurbishment taking place








Disneyland's guide maps in different languages


Heading home and taking another look at the entrance to Disney California Adventure




Poster for Pixar • Disney's "Brave"

That will do it for today's pictorial
Thanks for taking the time and patience to stop by and take a look :)

Until next time...
