After several weeks following the grand opening of RISE OF THE RESISTANCE, Disneyland remains a hotbed of activity with refurbishments, construction, and special events continuing on in full force. We take a look this week at all the goings on at the Happiest Place on Earth including Avengers Campus, Project Stardust, and more.

Of course, a nice merch run at the end and much, much more in this latest park pictorial. ENJOY!

RISE and Shine

20200208_070559

The hour and a half before park opening continues to be very busy at the Disneyland Resort. Expect lots of brake lights. Fans are still very eager to experience the brand new groundbreaking STAR WARS: RISE OF THE RESISTANCE attraction.

20200208_071346

Even Pixar Pals was gridlocked on Saturday morning with cars backed up and halting vehicles from moving through the tolls.

20200208_071010

Looks like digital signage is coming soon to the Pixar Pals side.

20200208_071859

Security lines are also long once you finally park your car.

20200208_071923

Even alternate paths like the new bridge are proving to be busy as people make their way into the Resort.

20200208_072645

Security lines are long everywhere in the hour leading up to park opening.

20200208_074112

Lines to get into the park move relatively quickly. They tend to open 30 minutes before posted park time.

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway

We didn’t have a chance to scope out the site on this visit but as you can see below from last week, there’s not much interesting really going on just yet.

Not much to really see behind Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters now that the scrims have blocked construction.

Around Disney California Adventure

20200208_083200

Disney California Adventure celebrated its 19th anniversary this past Saturday without any fanfare, not even a button at the entrance.

20200208_084942

Not much change near Mission: Breakout.

20200208_084532

Disney quietly confirmed last week that Monsters, Inc. Mike and Sully to the Rescue! and Autopia will both be getting FASTPASS/MaxPass service added “soon.”

Details at the Spider-Man meet and greet are always fun.

20200208_084745

AVENGERS: ENDGAME established in-world that there was Ben & Jerry’s Hulk-A-Hulk-A-Burning Fudge and Stark Raving Hazelnuts flavors and we also have confirmation of MarshMjonlir Rum-Thunder Crunch and Black Cherry Widow. I wonder if they’ll serve these flavors at Pym Test Kitchen later this year?

20200208_081213

Rosie and Colin are on vacation.

20200208_081201

Boudin Bakery Tour is under refurbishment.

20200208_080746

Lightning McQueen was greeting guests at Flo’s V8 on Saturday morning.

20200208_080518

Mater was at the Cozy Cone but not in his usual spot.

20200208_080459

This is the second weekend in a row that we don’t see cars in the “regular” meet and greet spot.

20200208_081508

Still no more Lunar New Year merchandise. This was the final weekend for Disney’s celebration.

20200208_083318

The buildings could use some TLC.

20200208_083330

Looks like Mochi has been at work here.

20200208_083323

20200208_083710

Grizzly River Run refurbishment continues.

20200208_083720

Still an odd mish-mash of logos.

20200208_083648

Rushin River Outfitters is closed but a small selection of merch is still available out front.

The Valentine’s Day photo-op has returned to Main Street in time for Valentine’s Day.

20200208_101456 20200208_101510

Steamboat Minnie balloon popcorn buckets were still available and no lines to purchase. These are an AP-exclusive offering.

20200208_093602 20200208_125500

The paint at the Tomorrowland entrance takes on different looks depending on how the sunlight hits it.

20200208_093829 20200208_093922

The Onward Sneak Peek has landed at the Tomorrowland Theater.

20200208_093852

Looks like an “E” sticker is covering an accidental “A” on the original sign.

20200208_094009

The stairs in front of Space Mountain finally seem to be nearing completion.

20200208_093836

20200208_120354

Vi Moradi is still keeping tabs on Batuu for General Organa.

20200208_104541

Don’t remember this sign at Ronto Roasters.

20200208_104424

A new kiosk has sprung up at the Creature Stall where you can find Bina’s Guide to the Creatures of Batuu activity book which invites young travelers to seek out stamps from various locations in the land.

20200208_104409

20200208_114437 20200208_114450

The Toydaria Swirl ($8.79) at the Milk Stand takes the location’s green milk and swirls in mango jelly and what we can only assume is chamoy sauce and Tajin seasoning. It’s definitely the best way to enjoy the otherwise perfumey drink.

20200208_120106

Not sure when this debuted but there’s a play mat at the Droid Depot where you can take your newly-built astromech and take it for a spin.

20200208_120034

20200208_094858

King Arthur Carousel is still wrapped in Go-Away-Blue scrims.

20200208_094736

20200208_094712

The blue scrims make it look like there’s absolutely nothing but blue sky behind the castle.

20200208_094823

Not much noticeable change at Snow White’s Scary Adventures.

20200212_082219 20200212_082231

Trees are flying solo in Fantasyland.

20200208_125849

Is there a tree missing here? O.o

20200208_140215

Still missing some gals in “it’s a small world.”

20200208_095651

Cogsworth Cakes or… donuts as most people call them.

20200208_142722(0) 20200208_142355

Belle and Gaston were out near “it’s a small world.” We also spotted Aladdin, Jasmine, and Genie down near the Mad Tea Party.

The operations mess that is the Tropical Hideaway seems to have delineated a single line now for all offerings, a sort of cafeteria style setup. A move that seems lateral at best. Not sure why they don’t setup registers at the FRONT of the location and then let customers take their receipts to the respective windows to pickup their items.

The popsicle stick benches have been removed from Goofy’s House. Their inclusion there to begin with was a little…

GOOFY!
