"Bling" Time Egg-Stravaganza at the Disneyland Resort

Today is the first day of the great Easter Egg-stravagana Hunt in both Disney California Adventure and Disneyland.

Please be advised that this pictorial will include pictures of the "hidden" eggs.

Passing through the bag check tents, we can see that the back side of Soarin' Over California's building has been repainted green to match the new Grizzly Peak Airfield theme
A crane can also be seen in the area as well

Some of those eggs were hard to find.
I like how they have been in different places each year. The locations may be the same, but the exact spot the eggs are placed have been different for the most part.

Heading over to Disneyland
It's starting to warm up fast and there are two priorities I need to take care of.
First, to get a Disneyland Egg-stravaganza map and to ride the Disneyland Monorail, for the fear it might close due to a/c issues.  I didn't want to take any chances with the Monorail

We can see that more and more is added to Sleeping Beauty Castle as it gets closer to the 60th celebration kickoff

As you can see, Guests are having a hard time looking at the Castle. Most are facing away from it and/or wearing sunglasses cause it is just glaring show brightly

Of course, this image was photoshopped with lens flare.
I can't help but wonder if this is the kind of effect Disney is wanting for Sleeping Beauty Castle as the Park celebrates 60 years
Or if they are looking are the more subdued, less intrusive version.

Finally shade will be provided in the area.
I hated walking in this area when the sun was bright and it was warm cause I could feel it all the way through as I walk down the landing strip

  1. Thanks for the update! I too am super happy to see all of those trees being planted in the Grizzly Peak Airfield area. Walking though there on those scorching hot summer days always sucked.

    1. I know what you mean. I love trees. Walking through Condor Flats when the sun was blazing down and reflecting off the walkway was torture if one didn't have sunglasses

      Delete
    2. I heard many guest say that Condor Flats reminded them of 9/11 since the airstrip lined up perfectly with the Tower of Terror's lightning damaged facade. Maybe Disney made sure this version would erase those comments.

    3. I never heard any Guests mention Tower of Terror and 9/11. I do remember someone mentioning it once online some time after Tower of Terror opened. And to me, it just seemed like someone wanted to create controversy. I don't think the design of the Tower was deliberate.

      I don't know anything about landing strips and planes, but I seem to recall that it was "debunked" because if it was a real landing strip. planes would come from the other direction (nose of the plane would be facing Grand Californian Hotel). I don't know how true that is or what.

      Either way, once Carthay Circle Restaurant was constructed, that sight line was eliminated.

  2. For the life of me I couldn't find Goofy at California Adventure. Which prize eggs did you get? Now that they have issued prize eggs that match all the stickers except Mater and Lightning, what do you think they will do next year? It seems too popular and profitable to not have again.
    If you have time I would love to see pics of any new painted eggs at the Springtime Jamboree.

    Thanks for all the awesome work you do!

    1. Goofy's egg was in the San Francisco buildings, near Embarcadaro

      For Disney California Adventure, I got Mr. Toad Egg as my prize.
      For Disneyland, I got Goofy Egg as my prize.

      This is the 3rd year both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure have offered the Egg-stravaganza hunt. And each year, it seems to be quite popular. So I don't think they are going to stop any time soon with it. :)
