Feeling The Heat At The Disneyland Resort

It has been a scorcher the past couple of days.  With the heat, I thought the Resort would be nice and mellow. But when I got up at 9:00am this morning, I looked out my bedroom window and saw how fast the Toy Story Parking Lot was filling up, I had an idea that it wouldn't be a slow Thursday.


It's around 10:00am and there are "long" lines to get into Disney California Adventure.  With the heat and some of the Main Entrance Cast Members, it made standing in the lines worse for some Guests.


California Screamin' testing their coaster trains, now without the water dummies. Because of this, there were a number of Guests who thought California Screamin' was open.

Can't really see much of Mater's Junkyard Jamboree due to the trees




Another look towards the Cozy Cone Motel food establishment








With it being hot today, I wonder how much hotter it was in Cars Land!

This area seems to get greener and greener


Looking.. or at least trying to, at Cars Land from the Blue Sky Cellar patio


Many trees block the view

An awning has been placed at the Pump House.   The Pump House will serve as an information center




Peeking through the tarps of the Carthay Circle Theatre steeple










Looking back as I head down Condor Flats

Oh, wait... I have to go check something...


I went over by Grizzly River Run because there have been reports that there is new queue music.  Because Grizzly was so busy, the queue was full.  I could hear some music, which kind of reminds me of Big Thunder Ranch, but with the sound of the waterfall and many people talking, it was hard for me to get a sample. Don't know if it's the same music loop that's always been there or if it a completely new one.

Monorail time...

Not only was it hot, but for some odd reason, the monorail was busy.

While waiting for my ride, took some shots of the construction work at through Disney California Adventure gates
