Closures Aplenty at the Disneyland Resort

Several things occurred this week at the Disneyland Resort.
The biggest news was the announcement of the kickoff celebration for Disneyland's 60th anniversary, the Diamond Celebration.

On Monday, the Boudin Sourdough Bakery Tour reopened after its refurbishment.
As noted in last weeks pictorial, a vintage delivery truck now sits outside the tour.

Of course, when I head to Disney California Adventure, it starts to rain.

A look inside.
You'll notice that it's now an open area. Before, you'd enter the room, watch a short introduction video in an enclosed space, and then side doors would open to continue the sourdough bakery tour.

I rarely use the tram service at the Mickey and Friends Parking structure. But for some reason I used it.
It's been so long that this whole disability pick up and drop off at the far end of the tram loading / unloading area is new to me. I have no idea how long it's been there
