The Circle D Ranch buildings have been leveled and removed in preparation for the Star Wars Project.
A closer look into the park you can see the trees down on the berm.
The walls are down and the new support facility in the Pinocchio lot looks complete.
Work underway at the ticket booths. Looks like new digital displays are going to replace the traditional signs.
Annual Passholder (AP) Days was wrapping up week three. This week’s theme: Fantasy and Fun. The Opera House was hosting a Silly Symphonies show.
This week featured PhotoPass vs an activity like the previous two.
Valentine’s Day decorations were still up in Town Square.
The flags were at half-staff for Antonin Scalia
The Rivers of America. All was quiet.
Splash Mountain is back after a brief refurbishment this year.

A look through the Hungry Bear scrim (the reason for the blurry view). Looks like more clearing along the river bank.
Next stop New Orleans Square Station. The hand cart has moved.
The other big change since my last visit is the addition of the training boiler to explain how steam power works.
The view into the former ranch area from near the Big Thunder exit.
The rockwork at the entrance is all still intact. Wonder if that is all staying put?
A walk through Toontown. Notice the bright red on the right..
While the work is going on Car Toon Spin is open, but there is no FastPass.
The hills of Toontown have turned yellow as they repaint them.
In Tomorrowland the Autopia queue is still surrounded by scaffolding.
The Straw Hatters in Town Square.
Several characters joined them for a dance party.
A couple of video clips of the Straw Hatters performing and characters dancing.
Stage 17 was celebrating APDays today too.
A photo backdrop with the logo for this week.
This week Roger Rabbit was meeting guests.
Doc McStuffins on Hollywood Blvd.
No real visible progress at Luigi’s.
The Blue Sky Cellar was hosting AP Days also. Interesting that they were using the exit as the entrance this afternoon.
Inside they were distributing this week’s handouts, as well as leftovers from the first two weeks.
The three buttons from AP Days so far.
Some of the wine barrels feature logos for AP Days
Grizzly River Run is closed for annual refurbishment.
Easter cookies at Trolley Treats.
I returned to the Opera House to watch the presentation. A couple of signs at the entrance.
Plenty of water and popcorn for all and you could eat in the theater.
Time for the show. It opened with a brief video about AP Days and then went to the Disneyland TV show giving the story of the Silly Symphonies.

It was announced last week that the Diamond Mad T Party will end its run March 30.
Hope you enjoyed this highlight tour of the Disneyland Resort. For additional photos and details from this trip you can check out the full Disneyland Update I posted on my site, http://disneygeek.com Also be sure to follow me on twitter @disneygeekcom for pictures from the parks.
I’ll second Susan’s comments. I’m a big fan! Glad that brought back Mad T Party for the 60th and happy I saw it before they close. It’s a fun time.
Jason, I hope you realize how much your blog posts are appreciated. I enjoy seeing your photos and keeping up with all the changes at DL. Thanks for all you do!
