On the Home Stretch to the Relaunch of Disney California Adventure

Because of work, I was "out of town" pretty much every day this week during the day, so I could only visit the Disneyland Resort in the early evening



About to head inside Disney California Adventure


Wait, this doesn't look like Disney California Adventure!  This is Disneyland.  Because I needed sunlight for the Monorail shots of Buena Vista Street, I had to go to Disneyland first


Carnation Cafe




Carnation Plaza Gardens transformation to Princess Fantasy Faire








Manny Monorail in operation


Buena Vista Street.  Over at Elias & Co, Modest Assortments can be found


There is a giant crate in front of the Carthay. Could this be the Walt and Mickey statue


Matterhorn bobsleds being tested


This is what the line looked like for the Monorail.  I couldn't believe how busy is was.  Autopia was down at the time, not sure if that had anything to do with the high demand


Wait, I already got this.. opps!


Cast Members attending a preview event for Cars Land also go to check out Buena Vista Street.








This is what caused Autopia to be temporarily closed.




Matterhorn sign is back at the chalet


Princess Fantasy Faire












Now it's time for Disney California Adventure


Looks like the white posts have been painted with the same blue as the fence




New outdoor vending carts are appearing, along with their new costumes.  I just have to say I love their new costumes.  I couldn't stand the blue and red.


Street signs are being placed on street lamps throughout Buena Vista Street








Sta .. Starbucks? ;)












New billboard!














Over at Cars Land, there was a Cast Member preview event


Props from Tow Mater's Tall Tales inside his junkyard queue




Look at the light flowers!


Looks pretty cool.  I bet they light up at night :)


Looking towards Luigi's Flying (not spinning) Tires


The costumes for Luigi's / Maters




Because there will be no outdoor vending carts in Cars Land, it appears that the Outdoor Vending Cast Members will be doing "stadium vending". That is, walking the street and queues selling their items




Another look at the different props from Mater's Tall Tales




Since when do Cheetos, Doritos and Potato Chips classify as being "healthy foods" at Filmores ? ha ha


Luigi's Flying Tire hats




Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop






First time inside


Love the mural


It even animates














Ding Ding Ding went the trolley








Earthquake!


There's gold in dem mines!




"G-G-G-Goooooooollllllllddddd! I found gold!"






Seems to be very popular




A sign for the Official Fast Pass Distribution Radiator Springs Racers that will display the Return Window for RSR Fast Pass at the old "it's tough to be a bug" fast pass distribution area




Goofy almost ran into me in his snazzy suit


Balloon vendor


Big Top Toys




Oh look, there's Pluto






One of the flower beds in front of Clarabelle's Ice Cream










Elias & Co chandelier



































That will conclude this Thursday pictorial
