Spring is in full bloom at the Disneyland Resort and the parks are BUSY as Spring Break crowds descend for a little bit of magic at the Happiest Place on Earth.

On our visit this weekend, we’ll get a pulse check on the new Pixar Pals Parking Structure, the highly-anticipated Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opening next month, Pixar Pier which has officially opened a new attraction and continues working on another, plus Project Stardust enhancements around the park on Sleeping Beauty Castle, Main Street, and in Frontierland.

We’ll also take a look around Downtown Disney, the Disney hotels and more for an update on on-going projects. Of course, a nice merch run for you at the end and much more in this latest park pictorial. ENJOY!
