Summer Heat Beats Down On Us at the Disneyland Resort

Oh my gosh! I woke up late today.  I went to bed around 1 a.m. and woke up at 10:17 a.m.  Because I had a previous engagement that I needed to attend to in the afternoon, that only left me with a couple of hours to be at the Disneyland Resort

I get to the Resort around 11:00 a.m.  The sun is already beating down and it is creating a very hot day.






Over at Award Wieners, they are serving up a monstrous menu
















Another one of those "rolling" stores. This time, selling Jake and the Neverland Pirates and Sofia the First merchandise


Why building stores when it's cheaper to just roll around giant boxes around the Resort










Red is out!






Recently the numbered rows at Radiator Springs Racers have been painted in so that it is easier to see the numbers on the ground.
So now when the Cast Member says "Rows 3 and 4" or "Rows 7 and 8", these should make it easier for the Guests to see the numbers placed on the ground.




One of the cooler rides in Disney California Adventure


And it still has a 5 minute wait.
I love it! It's a great way to get out of the hot sun for about 10 minutes. Plus you get a nice and relaxing ride.




The line for the FastPass stretches almost to the Rushin' River store


Now we see why the line for FastPass is so long.  65 minutes for Grizzly River Rapids.
The thing is, the FastPasses were for 1:55 pm - 2:55 pm, which (at this time) was 2 hours away


If it weren't for time contraints, I would sit here for a bit to just relax and take in the atmosphere






Watch out Goofy! The Red Car Trolley is heading your way


A few of the Citizens of Buena Vista Street were out


Lone Ranger merchandise






Heading to Disneyland now


Main Street U.S.A.




Big Thunder Mountain refurbishment continues






Sailing Ship Columbia is on its way around the Rivers of America


The Columbia is waiting for the Mark Twain to leave the dock.  There was a situation where a Guest was feeling lightheaded. So they held everyone waiting on the dock for the Mark Twain.
I assume the Cast Members were asking if she wanted a nurse to come out.  But there was some talk among the crew and the family.
The Cast Members suggested that they go around again, so she can just relax and cool down.


Rainbow Ridge is starting to look familiar




































Over at Space Mountain, there are now safety flags on the rooftop of the queue




About two...maybe three weeks ago, at the point of Space Mountain's queue where FastPass and Stand-By meet up, new monitors were installed just before you enter the "mountain". One on either side.  I thought they would have been turned on by now.  Not sure what they will display. Maybe the safety video?


Inside Innoventions


Finally saw part of the Iron Man exhibit


The windows of the Emporium


























Over at the old Bank of Main Street, formerly the Disney Gallery, it has now become Disneyana




The Disney Gallery has been pushed into the Disneyland Story inside the Opera House


View art and if you like something, purchase it




For me, most of the art displayed here in this room isn't something I would want to buy :(



That will conclude today's pictorial
Thanks for stopping by and checking it out

Until Next Time...
