Left my place around 7:30 am
It's just about 8 am and the crowds are light to get into Disney California Adventure.
Same with Disneyland. But unlike my usual visit to Disney California Adventure first, I decided to go into Disneyland. With it being busy and Disneyland closing gates temporarily yesterday, I didn't want to get caught up into that mid-day.
Getting inside Disneyland, the crowd wasn't too bad
Looking back at the light crowds coming in
Disneyland Cast Members line the street with Mickey gloves, waving to Guests
Princess Fantasy Faire
Getting ready for New Years Eve celebration
The Guest with Disabilities queue to get on Peter Pan's Flight
And Mr. Toad's Wild Ride with less than a 5 min wait
ToonTown hasn't opened yet for the day
"it's a small world" Holiday queue set up for heavy crowds
Small stage at the Small World Mall
Fantasyland
With Big Thunder Mountain's refurbishment taking place, on the weekdays between Jan 7 - Apr 4 , 2013 The Big Thunder Trail will be closed.
This plane was flying high above Disneyland
Big Thunder train ready to come out from storage
More Princess Fantasy Faire. This time with more sun light
Now the crowds are showing up
Seems like a lot of people like to walk right up to Walt
Lightning McQueen antenna topper
How cute! I may need to get me one of these
And maybe a set of these
And maybe one of these ... on second thought, nah, I wouldn't use it
Looking at those who are entering Disneyland as I head out
Still doesn't look too bad getting inside
Maybe cause at this time, more people are wanting to get inside Disney California Adventure
Aww.
Santa has left the building!
A line up for Fiddler, Fifer, and Practical Cafe. Probably for the Starbucks. ha ha
Soarin' Over California with a 50 min wait
Books from Grizzly River Run's queue
Love this old rotary phone. I remember using a pencil sharpener like this one when I was in grade school
Watch out! Student Pilots in the air
You know it's busy when Disney California Adventure has only been open for 2 hours (opened at 8am), and this is the line for Radiator Springs Racers
It travels up and down the road
With the extra portion of queue being used, the attraction has a posting of a 3 hour wait
The Single Rider queue on the left. Cast Members were estimating the Single Rider line to be about 60 min
People just keep coming in Cars Land
The sit and wait for the ride to start up at Mater's Junkyard Jamboree
Once it gets going, it seems that most are having a lot of fun on the ride
Oh my gosh! Look at the crowd
Nothing but people! ha ha
The curb in front of Carthay Circle Restaurant has been painted white to let you know that there is indeed a curb there. So watch your step!
The longest line I have seen for Prep and Landing Naughty vs Nice preview
Is Molly's bike in the shop? Cause she's walking. ha ha I guess when it deems to be too crowded, she walks instead of riding her bike along Buena Vista Street.
Don't they make a cute couple ;)
Crowds pouring into Disney California Adventure
A poster ad for "The View" on ABC
This poster of Bridgit Mendler reminds me of Britney Spears
Didn't feel like walking all the way back home, so I took the Toy Story Parking Lot shuttle back to the Toy Story Parking Lot since it's half way home
This is the line to get on a Toy Story Parking Lot shuttle. Doesn't look too bad...
But upon closer inspection, it is an actual queue with switchbacks. I think I couldn't three on the outside before going into the covered area
And it travels all the way down here! Just looking at this should really tell you how busy it is... and it isn't even Noon yet!
People keep coming
Warning signs
It would probably be faster to walk to the Disneyland Resort than to take a shuttle. ha ha
Well that will conclude today's pictorial
Thanks for stopping by
Until Next Time...
