New Signs of Progress at the Disneyland Resort





Looks like the tarps have come down






Tomorrow starts Minnie's Fly Girls Charter Airlines show in Condor Flats






Heading towards Carthay Circle Theatre


Some of the parade light poles have been temporarily removed as their bases are covered up






Work continues on the old Man Hat 'N Beach store front


Luigi's Flying Tires


Testing continues over at Luigi's Flying Tires


Radiator Springs Courthou.... wait! What's that on the far right corner?  I wonder what the car is for




Hopefully not too much longer before the pavement cures


Looking down on the store front


Real mountains with real snow in the background






Cozy Cone Motel food establishment




The recently installed Cozy Cone Motel sign








Part of Radiator Springs Racers queue can be seen








Some really nice detailed work


Those lights are waiting for a sign to appear


The Paradise Pier lamp posts continue to get their new green color, reaching all the way over the the Gazebo








What's that behind the tree.  Why it's the "Welcome to Radiator Springs" sign


Then I wonder what this framework is for


Filmore's sign has also been installed




Radiator Springs




There are smaller decals underneath the sign.  Gonna try for closer shots










Mater's Junkyard Jamboree




Look over there! Between Flo's V8 cafe sign and Ramone's.  The crane is hoisting another sign up




Gateway to Ornament Valley


Two out of the many talented people doing rock work on the Cars Land mountain facing Paradise Pier


Looking at part of old Farmers Market structure for Mater's Junkyard Jamboree


Over at Buena Vista Street...




Elias & Company shop




Some 1920's art deco work can be seen






"We have some white paint left. What shall we do with it?"
"Well, don't just waste it! ... Paint something"






The other day a Disney California Adventure cast member gave me this pass.  Didn't have time to use it then and today I still didn't have time.  A tactic to pull in people to see the show, I assume














What was here?  .. Oh yeah, the Miner 49ers


Last week I had mentioned that it looks like they were going to extend the platform. And it looks like that is what is indeed happening


Heading out of Disney California Adventure










Hmmm... which turnstile to choose.  Man, give the Cast Members a chair and what do they do, they sit down.  This is one thing I can't stand about the Main Entrance at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. To me, sitting makes them look lazy.


Don't miss Star Tours, Mickey's Soundsational Parade, Space Mountain, Indiana Jones, and Winnie the Pooh.   Winnie the Pooh?!? Of all other attractions and entertainment, they have to fill it with Winnie the Pooh? Desperation!


Work continues over at the Carnation Cafe




















Riding the Disneyland Monorail for a glimpse of Buena Vista Street










Matterhorn station getting reworked






In celebration of Mardi Gras, Bayou Bash takes place on select weekends over in New Orleans Square










It seemed a little bit busier.  Probably because we are heading into Presidents Weekend


A line to get out.  Gotta love those Main Entrance Cast Members


Heading out of the Resort, looking over at Buena Vista Street construction






Advertise the hell out of that movie!







That will conclude with today's pictorial
Thanks for your patience and stopping by to check it out

Until Next Time...

  1. The other sign frame in Carsland is probably the Carsland sign.

  2. I doubt that YOU could stand up for that long.

    It was kind of snotty of you to say that it makes them look lazy.

    1. Actually the job I have been in for 10+ years requires me to stand for long periods of time. The only time I get to sit down are on my breaks and lunch.

      And up until a year or so ago, from as far back as I can remember, the Cast Members at the Main Entrance always stood in their place. But now chairs have been placed for them with the option to sit or stand. I can see what option many choose.

      But that is just how I feel.

  3. All Cast Members end up standing for long amounts of time. I'm sure he is just as used to it as all the others.

  6. While I thank you for the pictures, I wish you would have a little bit of respect or maybe seek the reason for something before giving people labels. Any cast member that is sitting down has restrictions. As in, they have some type of medical restriction given to them by their own doctors. The Main Gate is one of the few areas that restrict these kind of restrictions. If you were to be given these kind of restrictions in other areas, then most likely you would be put on transitional duty till your restrictions are lifted by your doctor or if your restrictions would be long term or permanent, then you would have to consider transferring to an area that would accept them. If an area accepts a type of restriction by one cast member, then they have to accept it for all of their cast members with the same restriction. Please, look for the reasoning behind something before you give someone a label.

  7. What attitude in this weeks update. Dude you really need to think about what you say - negative stuff will loose your reader's attention. People come here to learn about the latest changes and construction in the park, not see you cop an attitude cause your life is in the toilet.
