Checking Out The Disneyland Resort On This Beautiful Saturday

Welcome to this weeks Disneyland Resort pictorial.  As you can see, this is a Saturday edition as I was out of town for the day on Friday and couldn't make it back to Anaheim in time for a trip to the Disneyland Resort.

Since New Orleans Square's and the reopening of Club 33 refurbishment, I wanted to see what the area looked like at night.  So I went to Disneyland on Thursday night to get some shots


 July 24, 2014 -

Heading past the old entrance to Club 33, looking up at the original bridge.
We can see they drew the curtains ... so you can't see inside ??




The glass here reminds me of ice cubes


Looking up at the old and new bridge to Club 33
The old bridge is still exposed to those on the ground.




One can see curtains drawn on the opposite windows




















Near the new entrance to Club 33


Looking towards the old entrance to Club 33



Skip ahead a couple of days to...

Stepping inside Disneyland first for the day


The temporary entrance to the "Wish Lounge" can be found in here




Making my way over to New Orleans Square once again








These barriers look so out of place in the French Quarter. I wonder if Disney plans to dress this up a bit.


Some added decoration on the second floor balcony










Yeah, you might need a drink after seeing all the alterations to New Orleans Square
























Oooo Scary!


Just think, this year marks the 45th anniversary of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland






In here, it's always a party




He's a little bummed because he won't be able to play "Happy Birthday" on the piano since the song is copyrighted


You know.. I never noticed the cake topper had the grooms head cut off as well







Looking at this window, it's obviously not centered.
I thought maybe it wasn't centered because Disney wanted a specific view to be seen from that window


So I stood where I would think the view would be on ground level.
I think if the window was shifted over to the right (which would make it centered), the view would probably be better.
I don't know how my theory stands out as I am not a member of Club 33 and will probably never venture up there




Some more props for the Legends of Frontierland game














When I saw this, I thought it read "Mac and Cheese"






Yellow for Rainbow Ridge and Orange for Frontierland


Speaking of Rainbow Ridge...
Over at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad....


Looking at the campside, it is very suttle










It wasn't open yet. And I know that the first performance wasn't to take place until sometime after 2 p.m.
I wasn't about to hang out in the Park until then.

Years ago Disney California Adventure did a promotion to try and raise attendance over there with "Rockin' By The Bay"
Maybe Disneyland can do the same back here with "Rockin' By The Hay"










Most of the wall received some texture to it except for this square section


Work continues over at Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage













Inside Disneyana,
The Ink and Paint dept received some new art on the wall






















Leaving Disneyland



Heading into Disney California Adventure


Passing through Buena Vista Street


Over into Cars Land


And to Luigi's Flying Tires


The Park has been opened for almost two hours and there isn't much of any kind of line or demand for the attraction

How much longer will this attraction last?
Does Walt Disney Imagineering have an alternative for this attraction, if they decide to remove the flying tire aspect?




There is just too much effort used to just step inside these tires from ground level.
I don't know what they were thinking with that
The tire itself gives off the impression that it's a hard enough surface to step on.
Little do people know that there is nothing underneath for support.
So Guests can easily miss their step


Ugh...Mom! Why did you drag me on this boring ride?


They are laughing cause they haven't moved from that spot since the ride began and they are making little progress "flying" across




You know, I was thinking...
If Disney California Adventure decides to ditch the "Cars" theme, they could easily just rename Radiator Springs Racers to California Racein'
... But then it sounds like you are saying "California Raisin"


Inside Clarabelle's


That's right... with the ice cream store not open just yet, why not pin trade
But where's the Cast Member to interact with you?
Probably getting the ice cream store ready lol


Want to take the California Story tour? One will pay over a hundred bucks on top of admission (if you paid)

Time to leave and walk through Downtown Disney


For some time, Duncan has had a kiosk here













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