Closures Aplenty at the Disneyland Resort

Several things occurred this week at the Disneyland Resort.
The biggest news was the announcement of the kickoff celebration for Disneyland's 60th anniversary, the Diamond Celebration.

On Monday, the Boudin Sourdough Bakery Tour reopened after its refurbishment.
As noted in last weeks pictorial, a vintage delivery truck now sits outside the tour.

Of course, when I head to Disney California Adventure, it starts to rain.

A look inside.
You'll notice that it's now an open area. Before, you'd enter the room, watch a short introduction video in an enclosed space, and then side doors would open to continue the sourdough bakery tour.

With this Once Upon a Time window display on the side of  the "Off the Page" store, wouldn't it fit the whole Frozen Fun theme if they had the outfits from the Anna and Elsa arc?

Just think.  65 years later, May 22, 2015 Disneyland would be kick starting the 60th anniversary.



Now I am back again for my weekly Friday visit

I rarely use the tram service at the Mickey and Friends Parking structure. But for some reason I used it.
It's been so long that this whole disability pick up and drop off at the far end of the tram loading / unloading area is new to me. I have no idea how long it's been there

  2. Thanks for the information!! We are planning to visit Disneyland. I am glad to know Disneyland is celebrating its 60 anniversary and I wish if I had an opportunity to attend this grand celebration. Do you also know some of Disneyland Secrets as my friends told me that there are many undisclosed secrets of this place?
