Last slow Thursday for a while....

This will probably be the last slow Thursday at the Parks. Next week the parks are open till 10, 11 or midnight with fireworks at Disneyland every night through April.  Looks like a very long Spring Break period ahead.


While waiting for my friend, I took a picture of the back side of Cars Land from my window

Finally at the Disneyland Resort


Uh-oh, looks like the "n" is stuck and won't rotate like the others


The new entrance to Disney California Adventure coming along


Once inside, taking a look back


As much as I like the whole ElecTRONica, I am starting to tire of seeing this stage


While heading to Paradise Pier, some walls have appeared on the right side of the parade route




It's like a maze




The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure building


The shell on the backside of King Triton has returned


The scaffolding in front of the arch has been removed


As much as I am looking forward to this attraction, the facade is looking really good




Duffy still tucked away in his corner


Looking at the Little Mermaid attraction building from across the bay

While heading to Mickey's Fun Wheel, I noticed that Toy Story Midway Mania was not operating. Instantly I knew with that closed "temporarily", that most everyone with small kids will head to Mickey's Fun Wheel.

Mickey's Fun Wheel's queue wasn't that long, but the Cast Members were still placing small parties with other small parties. Because my friend and I were placed in a gondola with others, we were sitting on the Cars Land side.

I want to apologize for the pictures of the new Paradise Pier Grill (or whatever it is called) and the surrounding area because those shots are not the greatest.




Silly Symphony Swings down for a paint job


Cars Land construction




Looks the some real trees have been planted near that curvy track section








Looking at the Little Mermaid attraction


The swings enclosed in plastic to protect them from the paint




One good shot




Looks like a jungle down there with all it's lushness


Sailor Mickey


Work being done on the water tower marquee at Goofy's Sky School







Taking a ride on the Golden Zephyr
















Looks like some wave patterns underneath the seashell


Popcorn lights


More popcorn lights and the seashells have all been painted






Some screw hooks have been placed along the arch. Will something else be placed here in the vacant spot?








You know what you can find over here?


You can find S.A.R.A. over here.  What's a S.A.R.A.? Why that's a Service Animal Relief Area


What is that thing that has been placed on top of Stage 15?


Oh the Radio Antenna


Side view


My friend told me how it looks small. But I told him maybe it's suppose to be a force prospective thing.
I can't wait to see the Disney Theater marquee.


Looking at the construction of the new entrance of Disney California Adventure as I leave to go to Disneyland






Star Tours The Construction Continues...


Redone landscaping here where the walls were last week




Walls blocking the walkway to Tomorrowland Terrace


Looks like a flying saucer has landed once again in Tomorrowland. Maybe it should beam up the Disney Vacation Club kiosk.




A closer look at the U.F.O.


Pavement work now being done on the side next to the Star Trader


Riding the Monorail to get a view of the construction taking place in front of Disney California Adventure




The Heraldy Shop looks nice and new

As I am ready to go home now, I remembered that I have to go check out Critter Country.




Splash Mountain still in rehab




It was so quiet over here


The ground cover looking green


In the Winnie the Pooh attraction queue, I know there used to be grass here. Don't know if it has been gone for a long time or this is the first time it has been absent from the planters




A new sign for the Restrooms at the Hungry Bear Restaraunt


New Orleans Square back to normal after Mardi Gras


Well...almost normal...








Some of the strobes for Remember..Dreams Come True fireworks were missing


One is still on this lighting tower


One missing on this tower..


Stopped inside the Candy Palace to check something out and these boxes caught my eye. I hardly ever come in here, but are these new box designs?


Just leaving Disneyland to quickly check out the World of Disney store in Downtown Disney


Seriously ? !  A turkey leg shirt?


I thought this was kind of cool and funny at the same time


Disney merchandising trying to be hip




The new redesigned area makes this look bigger and more inviting



That will do it for today's pictorial
Thank you for stopping by

Until next time...
