Your FastPass to River Sticks and Dirt Mounds at The Disneyland Resort

With the Parks opening at 9 a.m, sleeping in a bit sounds wonderful.
Should have to my inner body clock to hit the snooze button.

I was up early, yet took my time getting ready to head to the Parks.

I leave and get there about 8:40 a.m.
And I get to this...

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Main, Gate
Holy Freakin' Sheesh!
It would be another 5 minutes before they open up the Main Gates

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Main, Gate
Although Disney California Adventure had their gates open (as they had Early Entry), there was a bit of a demand for that Park

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, Main Street USA
I get into Disneyland at 9:05 am.
5 minutes after the Park opens... not too bad.

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, Main Street USA
Where is everyone?

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, Main Street USA
Where are all those people that were waiting with me outside the Main Gate?

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, Frontierland
Frontierland is quiet.
I am guessing that a majority of them went to Tomrrowland / Fantasyland

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, Frontierland, Big, Thunder, Mountain, Railroad, Trail, Ranch, Jamboree Star, Wars, Land, Construction
First stop, Big Thunder to check out the construction for Star Wars Land

More wooden stakes in the ground

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, Frontierland, Critter, Country, Rivers, River, America, Star, Wars, land, Construction
Wonder if this is meant for the River boat rail

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, Fantasyland, Matterhorn, Bobsleds, FastPass, Fast, Pass, Mobile, Device
Word is that the Matterhorn will be getting FastPass.
After 17 years since their debut, the last E Ticket among the Mountain Range is getting in on the act.




Only a couple kiosks will be installed for FastPass.
One will also be able to use their mobile device too.
The test Space Mountain did a while back with the scanning of the FastPass tickets, Matterhorn will be doing it.

Not sure if you had heard or seen, but a short time ago Space Mountain was doing a test with their FastPass by scanning tickets.

Disneyland Resort, Disney California Adventure, Grizzly, River, Run
Grizzly River Run was down for refurbishment back in Feb - March.
What's it doing being down again in April?
Was the plan to get started on the first part of refurbishment, open up for Spring Break crowds, and then go back down for refurbishment to finish?
Possibly

Disneyland Resort, Disney California Adventure, Grizzly, Peak, Redwood, Creek, Challenge, Trail
The Redwood Creek wasn't open just yet when I walked by.
The Wilderness Explorer sign (from UP) has been removed

For a moment I thought the guy was standing up while on the electric convenience vehicle

Disneyland Resort, Disney California Adventure, Grizzly, Peak, Segway, ECV, Electric, Convenience, Vehicle
This must be Disney's version of a Segway.
I had heard about Disney creating their own version of a Segway to use throughout the Resort.
"Pic or it didn't happen" would have been the response if I had mentioned it when I found out about it.
Over time, I had forgotten about it.
But then I finally saw one and had to quickly take a picture

Isn't this where Mike Fink's cabin was?
Looks like the land has been removed or something.
