Today is the first day of the great Easter Egg-stravagana Hunt in both Disney California Adventure and Disneyland.

Please be advised that this pictorial will include pictures of the "hidden" eggs.

Passing through the bag check tents, we can see that the back side of Soarin' Over California's building has been repainted green to match the new Grizzly Peak Airfield theme
A crane can also be seen in the area as well

I had seen Guests walking around with these yellow and red popsicle bars and wondered what they were. After scouting around a bit, I found out that they were Olaf Frozen Lemonade Strawberry bars

Some of those eggs were hard to find.
I like how they have been in different places each year. The locations may be the same, but the exact spot the eggs are placed have been different for the most part.

Heading over to Disneyland
It's starting to warm up fast and there are two priorities I need to take care of.
First, to get a Disneyland Egg-stravaganza map and to ride the Disneyland Monorail, for the fear it might close due to a/c issues.  I didn't want to take any chances with the Monorail

We can see that more and more is added to Sleeping Beauty Castle as it gets closer to the 60th celebration kickoff

As you can see, Guests are having a hard time looking at the Castle. Most are facing away from it and/or wearing sunglasses cause it is just glaring show brightly

Of course, this image was photoshopped with lens flare.
I can't help but wonder if this is the kind of effect Disney is wanting for Sleeping Beauty Castle as the Park celebrates 60 years
Or if they are looking are the more subdued, less intrusive version.

Finally shade will be provided in the area.
I hated walking in this area when the sun was bright and it was warm cause I could feel it all the way through as I walk down the landing strip
