Dragons, Windows, Doors, and More

Running late! Running late! Got out the door late this morning. With it still being Spring Break, I knew I would encounter crowds.  I left my place around 9:45am


Nice!


It's 10:10am and this what I come to at the entrance to Disney California Adventure


While waiting to get into Disney California Adventure, just taking some shots of the entrance to Buena Vista Street. Here, we see some nice railings


And an awning to go with it


The palm trees that once stood here were removed...probably because they were dead. But with a lot of retheming going on around the area, it was an excuse to get rid of them.

Because of the crowds, heading straight to Mickey's Fun Wheel. When we go there, the line for non-swinging was quite small.  Thought we would have our own gondola. But as we waited our turn, the line got longer and longer instantly.  I am guessing it's because California Screamin' was down so people were making their way down the boardwalk. By the time it was time to load, they started to put small parties together.

This was the wait when we got off. Although I think non-swinging is more like 20 minutes

Once again, California Screamin' was down when the Park opened :(

What looks different now...


The vine that ran along the mountain has finally been removed. I never really liked it as it always bugged me. Hope it doesn't come back
