Stephen Thomas’ 8/25/09 Photo Report
Stephen Thomas returns after a couple of months off with a new Disneyland Resort photo report:
You have to get to Mickey and Friends really early to see the Pinocchio parking lot like this
As Summer Nightastic is now over, the Toy Story Midway Mania billboards have returned once again
No line at the new Annual Passport Processing Center
Some painting and cleaning of Space Mountain taking place
They had a dog in Monorail Orange sniffing for something
Wait times at 11am
Over at DCA, work on the building for The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure should begin soon
This structure has been brought into the site
The Little Mermaid construction walls were brought further out into the path on Monday, meaning that the Pixar Play Parade can’t go down this way at the moment. It now exits out at the gate next to the Mission Tortilla Factory
World of Color construction
The railings are up around the new outer deck of Paradise Park
The Disney Vacation Club add-on to the Grand Californian Hotel is almost ready for its opening next month
Silly Symphony Swings construction walls
The whole swinging structure has been removed
Here’s a different view
Silly Symphony Swings construction from Mickey’s Fun Wheel
More World of Color construction
The new fountain in Paradise Park looks to be a nice little addition
Land getting prepped for The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure
Both Corn Dog Castle and Souvenir 66 are boarded up so nothing happens to them while construction is going on all around
Another look at the new Grand Californian building
Back over at Disneyland, the tarps are down around the Bank of Main Street, the new home of The Disney Gallery
The Disney Gallery logo is now up on the windows
The Disney Visa Rewards booth remains
Painting at the entrance of the Opera House has been completed. All that needs to be done now is to replace the attraction sign
Thanks for the report Stephen!
