Disneyland Resort Photo Report for March 26, 2012.
Welcome Back to the Disneyland Resort
This past weekend was a very wet one at the Disneyland Resort. I headed out to the parks on Sunday, with my umbrella in one hand and my camera in the other. The rain made for very light crowds, which is always a plus. But at times the rain came down in sheets and sent guests running for cover, as you’ll see in a video a bit later.
A Disney Imagineer is receiving the highest honor at Disneyland, we check in on the refurbishments and the massive construction at Disney California Adventure. Hollywood Land is transforming, and getting psychedelic and Mickey has a Cavalcade.
It’s still Spring Break season at Disneyland. TouringPlans.com can help you navigate the parks with our per-park Crowd Calendar, Lines – Mobile Wait Times App that gives access to current and estimated wait times for attractions, and Touring Plans detailing the best plan of attack for hitting the attractions. Now more than ever, it’s a good time to subscribe to TouringPlans.com to plan your strategy to avoid the crowds!

Alice’s window will be located next to her late husband’s, Imagineer Marc Davis. Here you can see the window has already been removed and will be unveiled in a ceremony on May 10th.
Across the street, the Carnation Cafe / Blue Ribbon Bakery refurbishment is coming along.
Some great vintage Walt Disney photo’s are now for sale in Disneyana. There is about 6 different ones which portray Walt through the years. They come complete with matting and a plaque with Walt’s autograph. They sell for $19 each.
Sunday was a very rainy day at the Disneyland Resort. The Orange County area saw nearly an inch of rain and as a result most of the major outdoor shows were canceled. But fear not…Mickey’s Rainy Day Cavalcade came to the rescue!
Mickey’s Rainy Day Cavalcade basically consists of the characters from Mickey’s Soundsational Parade in the Main Street vehicles.
In fact, some downpours were so intense that I had to run for cover!
