Spring Break Isn't Over Just Yet

With Easter taking place the previous Sunday, that didn't stop from the huge crowds the Disneyland Resort received during the week,

Disney California Adventure and Disneyland had extended their operation by one hour. I thought it was kind of silly for Disney California Adventure to be closing at 8 p.m. anyways.  I mean, the week before and the week following Easter were typically the "Spring Break" time. So why Disney decided to schedule the Parks to close earlier seemed silly.

Today the Parks opened at 9 a.m. and as we head into Disney California Adventure. the demand getting into the Park isn't that high ... for right now.




Looking over at Disneyland, even they have little demand at the moment.


Walking down Buena Vista Street


The Red Car Trolley positioned just outside Elias and Company.  When the Park opens, the trolley will head down Buena Vista Street


Look at all those people




Disney California Adventure has just opened up.  I am not gonna go into that crowd, so I will head off toward Condor Flats


Grizzly River Run closed for refurbishment






The paint job over at the Pacific Wharf is coming along nicely


















While the outside of the Bakery Tour is getting repainted, the "attraction" is still open for your enjoyment






Finally the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail is open




A ... scream shield, so as not to wake the neighbors at the Grand Californian Hotel? ha ha ;)










Can easily see the backside of The Little Mermaid attraction building


Oops, looks like you can't go across this bridge




Looks like you can't go up this netting walkway




Dad: "What does the Fox say?"
Younger Son: "That's not a fox dad, that's a bear"
Teenage Son: "That's not a bear.  It looks more like a wolf"
Younger Son: "It's a bear. As in a grizzly bear"
Dad: "Then what does the bear say?"




Boring!
I love it when they have colorful flowers in here


Kingsweel Camera Shop presented by Nikon


Some old school graphic plates


Trash can salt and pepper shakers


They all look delicious
Although not a trolley, I do love that metal train decoration piece


Disneyland time...


Was someone under the influence while laying down the tape?
Good thing tape is temporary




Young man, can you point me in the direc.... oh, ummm....


Work continues on the rooftops of New Orleans Square








While walking down the stairs, I noticed the blinds were gone


Then I see that they have just been rolled up.


This is the view you get when you look down


Behind those tree branches is the dock to the Jungle Cruise






Some nicely themed Frontierland merchandise


Saw these Civil War hats. I so need to get me one


At the Adventureland Bazaar, Cast Members and Guests alike were hovering around this table.
What was all the commotion?
Oh...Adventureland and Tiki style merchandise


As much attention as this table was getting, maybe this will lead to the other lands getting more specific themed land merchandise




















Over at Alice in Wonderland, visible work is starting on the Vine
















"it's a small world" closed again, after the 50th anniversary "celebration", to finish up the refurbishment


Speaking of refurbishment... in Toon Town, the fountains and Gadget's Go Coaster was down for a refurb






Innoventions hadn't opened yet, and there was already a line waiting to get inside.
I guess they all wanted to see the "house of the future" ;)
...
Or they could be here to see the Captain America and / or Thor






Riding the Disneyland Monorail to catch a glimpse over the wall of Alice in Wonderland








When I saw this stub, for a brief moment I felt like I was back in the days of the Disneyland Ticket Book days, and looking on the ground, seeing a ticket and getting excited because I would be able to ride another attraction.
I wonder if people dropping their tickets happened a lot back then.  Or did people just wait until they got to the attraction before tearing it out of the booklet


In case you were wondering, this was the ticket stub that was on the ground


Heading out as Disneyland is getting busier

That will conclude today's pictorial
