The Dreams Of Tomorrow Are Beginning Today At The Disneyland Resort

Walking to the Disneyland Resort, the weather sure looked gloomy.
But the weather app stated that any type of rain would fall sometime afternoon.

Boy was I taken by surprise.

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, Main Street USA
Disneyland and Disney California Adventure opened at 9 am.
I was expecting it to be a mad house since the marathon was taking place

But when I got to the Main Gates at 8:50 am, I was able to walk right on in with little to no wait.
And overall it didn't look too bad when walking down Main Street USA

But I couldn't get inside to get a closer look at the time as the entrance to the station still had the chains up.

If I am looking right, the refurbishment included the boats now being hugged by two docks
Before, there was more of gap on the spur dock than before.

Now, it had been raining for about 10 - 15 minutes
And Tarzan Treehouse was still open!
So I took advantage of it to climb the treehouse to see what I can see of Star Wars Land

I wasn't prepared for the rain.
I had no umbrella and no jacket

I needed to keep dry as much as possible

Oh! I know what I can do.
New characters are to appear at Turtle Talk with Crush.
So I can go to Disney California Adventure and check it out, and I can be dry.

Now I just have to get over there

  1. Now with the last buildings leveled you really get an great visual of this project. That is something with construction being right outside of the Hungry Bear restaurant. I assume the train will still go right behind the restaurant and then shift to its new direction. Hopefully it won't be long before they get the berm moved into place and then start to prep the new railroad path. I imagine they will complete that before they go vertical with SWL.
