Disneyland Resort Pictures
The text list below contains the captions of all images in the set.
There was no tram in front of the billboards today, so here is a clear shot of the new ones
Not too bad of a crowd at the tram stop
First stop DCA. Some railing work going on near the Wharf
The old Mexican dining location is now behind walls, it is slated to re-open later this year as a new Chineese location I believe
The new, larger, location where the Lucky Fortune Cookie used to be is now open.
The Menu (the next page has close shots)
The area that used to have the large window and the fortune cookie machine, kind of boring now with just a wall
Looking around the side all the walls and work are done there too
Now out to the Pier and the World of Color work
I thought this litte bridge to get over the cable tracks and onto the platform was interesting
Pipes starting to be connected
Scaffolding is up around much of the concrete work as the work to finish it (appears much of it will get rockwork)
Looks to be for lighting?
The observation deck of the Grand CA is coming along
More cables and pipes have been installed out near Screamin
The wave machine is being reinstalled. So I guess that kills the rumor of a new machine. Looks to be the same panels going back in, new machinery behind them though
No progress on these pads yet
Noticed some fans out on the platform
the lines for the Fun Wheel seem to always hover around 30 minutes each now a days, much longer than before for the non swinging
Due to the long wait I had to skip the Fun Wheel this trip, so no overhead shots
All the structures here seem to still be standing and no visible progress
Some shots from the Zephyr
Looks to be some prep work for the Little Mermaid attraction going on.
No visible changes to the Orange Stinger area (I read late July is when its supposed to close down)
If you want to see even more Construction shots stop by the Construction Progress section Sunday.
They were setting up to film something near the winery, no clue as to what though.
Work at the Grand CA connection
The walkway/arcade roof is goign on.
The entrance way work is done and it has reopened
Now the area off to the side that you could use to access the temporary stairs is blocked off
So I had to go inside and up, first time seeing the access point from the inside, this is the door at the end of the hall that will lead to the new bridge and new wing.
A look at the work outside
They turned a guest room into the walkway to the temporary stairs, here is a look around
Kind of interesting to see
Studio 365 now has signage and it appears almost ready to open.
Some of the Downtown Disney banners have the castle (forgot to get a picture of this last week)
A sign is up where the mismatch stores permenant location will be (just to the left of the temp store).
I was trying to figure out solar panels by the Honda display
And today I spotted a sign saying what they were for
Donald out for pictures in Town Square (Mickey and Minne were out too)
The line board around 2:45
The 2009 All American College Band at Plaza Gardens (2:45 showtime)
There are now trees in the planters (better shots later)
The missing doll was back in Small World (the one on the left)
Random Toontown shots
All the walls around the monorail track are down and the new covers are done
The confetti cannons in the hub, noticed some were used some were not. Wonder how many shows worth are up there?
The 4:45 Flag Retreat now features the College Band (and the Dapper Dans)
Hmm.. someone wrote on a bench in Town Square, the date was several days ago.
I won reserved viewing for the Electrical Parade
The corn dog wagon now has baskets too
The 5:30 College Band set
The Up balloon is gone from the Esplanade
The 7:30 College Band set in Town Square
The TLT Dance Club was in full swing (a much smaller crowd than last week though)
Some overhead shots of the Cosmic Waves makeover, which looks almost complete
Stopped by Pixie Hollow
Nothing really going on, guess I was too early in the evening still
Since I had great seats took some more Electrical Parade pictures this week.
Then we headed over to see Magical
I did not get that many shots, then the show stopped due to winds
The lights came on and we left...
