This morning I was told that the statue of Stanley, the founder of Radiator Springs was installed in front of the Courthouse.
I rush over there early this morning to check it out.
Yup, I see him. But of course there is a truck parked in the way.
I knew it would probably be awhile before that truck even moves, so I decided to leave and come back later in the day
Around 4p.m. I head back to Disney California Adventure...
There he is. The plaque below states "Stanley Our Founder 1909"

March of the Wires
Between Tuesday March 27 and Thursday March 29, Disney California Adventure was holding a sneak peek for Cars Land and Disney California Adventure merchandise for Annual Passholders. Because of the sneak peek, Disney thought there would be a huge demand to get their hands on the merchandise before the general public. And because of this thought, Disney California Adventure was to open early to accommodate the huge crowd. But less than 50 AP's had shown up.
So on Tuesday, Disney California Adventure attractions were to try and open at 9am. Obviously to the paying Guest entering the Park that early, they couldn't be happier. Because of the low turn out on the first day, it seems as though Disney decided to open up a bit later. So they tried to for the attractions to open at 9:15am. Still very few AP's showed up that early for the sneak peek of merchandise. But the Park was open to all those who entered.
Because of the past two days, I wondered if they would do that today, which is the final preview day. I didn't want to take any chances. So I got up an hour early, got ready, and walked to the Resort. I had gotten to the Resort around 9:15am to this...
Disney California Adventure still closed. Looks like no getting in early today like the previous two days. The gates finally opened at 9:30am
Checking out Buena Vista Street entrance construction
Looking towards the Carthay Circle Theatre
Seems like Grizzly opened up early.
As I waited for the rest of Disney California Adventure to open, I had noticed this outdoor vending cart. This used to be between the restrooms and smoking section. Maybe the smell of the smoke was too much and moved across the street to this location. There seems a big enough space for it too since this portion of the Little Mermaid queue isn't used.
Park opens and I rush to Mickey's Fun Wheel ...
Cozy Cone Motel
"Flo's" and "Cafe" have been installed

Wires that will support the Red Car Trolley wire have been installed
Checking out the Parade Route
One of two small lights, possibly aimed at the future sight of the Walt and Mickey statue
Checking out the wires
Stage 17 is where the AP merchandise preview took place
Popsicle sticks have been painted
Hopper has been moved
The construction walls in front of the Pump House have been removed to reveal a wheelchair access ramp
Roof tile work
Some detail work
Disneyland
Buena Vista Street from the Monorail
Matterhorn refurbishment
Looking at the Buena Vista Street entrance
Lego Store refurbishment
Some cute Cheshire Cat antenna balls
I wonder what this is for
That will conclude today's pictorial
Thanks for stopping by and checking it out
Until Next Time...
