Today, my friend and I got a late start. We tend to leave for the resort between 9:30am-9:40am, but today we didn't leave until 10:15am. Parked at the Toy Story Parking Lot and it took about 25 minutes to park, get in line for a shuttle bus, get on the shuttle bus, have the bus take us to the Disneyland Resort and then get off. And then another 10 minutes for the bag check. O.o!
As we walk past the admission ticket booths, looking towards Disney California Adventure, the time is 10:52am
Right behind Disney California Adventure's entrance, the frame work for what was once the Greeting's store.
Because I am behind schedule, we book it to Mickey's Fun Wheel with the hopes that the Cast Members were not putting small parties together in one gondola. Even with it being almost 11:00am, the lines for both swinging and non-swinging were manageable that the Cast Members were not putting parties together just yet.
As we slowly move upward on Mickey's Fun Wheel, we see one of the Cozy Cones
Looking out towards Cars Land
More work being done with Luigi's Flying Tires building
Carthay Circle Theatre from Mickey's Fun Wheel
Flo's V8 Cafe
More wire mesh being added to the backside of the Cars Land mountain range
Radiator Springs Curios
Taking a look over at Mater's Junkyard Jamoboree. It looks like the gentleman is at a control console
Cozy Cone Motel
The Courthouse for Radiator Springs Racers
Wood panels for the Courthouse
Behind the trees it looks like one of Mater's Junkyard Jamboree vehicle can be seen. It looks like the seating portion of the vehicle is not attached, just the chassis
Looking at the loop for California Screamin'
The wire mesh along the backside of the mountain range of Cars Land
The entire launch area of California Screamin' has been repainted to the new blue
Working on the wire mesh
Some people have said this loop looks smaller than the old one. But it looks the same to me.
The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel's Undersea Adventure
I was told of this a week ago, but forgot to report on it last week. Ariel received a new tail. It may be hard to see in the pictures, but the new one looks shinier than the previous one.
California Screamin's loop without the scaffolding placed
An arch-like appearance in the mesh
Lights have appeared on the lamp posts
The Courthouse
The old Greetings Store
The walls have been removed from the street leading to Muppet Vision 3D and Monster's Inc. Other than a missing Outdoor Vending cart and crosswalk lines, I can't see a difference right off hand from before
Carthay Circle Theatre
Future home for Elias & Co. Store for Buena Vista Street
Some of the tarp was blowing in the wind
These decorative pieces are lying down. You can kind of see one already in place on the right behind the tarp
Heading out to Disneyland now

Riding the monorail!
Construction for Buena Vista Street
With just the frame work of the old Toy store, one can see right through it.
Going on again...
Taking a look towards the entrance of Disney California Adventure
Some repaving over at the hotel shuttle bus area
Over in Frontierland, pin trading galore taking place
It seemed busy today at both parks.
Heading out for the day, looking towards California Adventure
Walking to the Toy Story shuttle bus pickup area
