Taking a Look at Tomorrowland Preshow, Grizzly Peak Airfield, and the Other Areas of the Parks

They say things come in 3's, and it looks like I had one of those days where I got to experience first hand.

When I walk to the Disneyland Resort, I always take my iPod so I can listen to music to and from the Parks.  I had searched for my iPod only to realize I left it in my car.  I get to my car, and the battery was practically dead.

Strike 1!

The day started out very cloudy.  I didn't think much of it and thought that clear skies would soon open up.  Nope.  Not only was it cloudy, but it began to rain sprinkle. I hate being out, especially with my camera, in any wet weather

Strike 2!

I was ending the limit on my SD card on my camera. So I wanted to delete the previous weeks photos.  Well, some how I must have mistaken last weeks photos for this weeks photos, and I ended up deleting all the photos I had taken up to that point in time. I was so devastated.

Strike 3!

I almost got upset and wanted to leave the Park. But I decided to just buck up, compose myself, and just take the important shots again.
"Things happen. Get over it"
So I quickly went back around both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, just taking the necessary pictures this week.  Even with the slight drizzle, the Parks were getting busier by the minute.

So we will start where I was when the pictures were deleted ....

At the Tomorrowland Theater -

It appears that the official one is still in place. Maybe the one near the Thunder Ranch entrance was a makeshift one.  One made by people who didn't want to go to the official one and saw a secluded area and took the opportunity. Thing is, when one person does it, they all want to do it.

Doesn't look like there is any type of activity. Does that mean nothing is happening inside? ha ha
(reference to when people didn't think anything was happening at Nemo because they couldn't see any activity taking place inside the show building)

  2. so here is the million dollar question, considering Age of Ultron comes out next week, are they only keeping those banners up as a cross promotion to keep those characters on your mind, or will they still have the Avengers meet and greets when/if the walls come down? I would think that if the plan is to not have the Avengers in there anymore that they would have taken those down right away
