Conner Purzycki’s 7/12/10 – 7/18/10 DLR Photo Report

I was at Disneyland for the past week to attend WDWCelebrations event “Fifty-Five. Here are the photos I took throughout the week which include The Little Mermaid, Cars Land, The Flash Mob, and much more….

Little Mermaid is next for the DCA expansion


The massive arch will house the entrance to the attraction



Play Fountain in use


The other side of the Mermaid building


This area is going to look great in a year

Work lights were on

New Toy Story inspired Screamin’ merchandise


A little later in the day, all the platforms were at maintenance level

This guy is a genius.

Framing for Rock Work is visible




More new Screamin’ merchandise



Little later in the week, we went up to the DVC terrace in the Grand Californian for some awesome shots

Corn Dog Castle has been untouched

I smell Piece of History pins


The one, the only, the backside of work walls!!!









Work has begun on the Wonder Tower


Cars Land







Before World of Color, I caught this neat shot

Tron Posters now on Display


Town Square roped off for the All-Star Parade





Baseball fans lined the parade route early in the morning.


The 55th banners lining Main Street






The 55th map was out for the week prior to the anniversary day



Closed for the Parade


You can find a photo report of the parade Here, and a video will be up soon.

Now for a look around the new Honda exhibit in Innoventions


The first exhibit is one of the rotating pre-shows


We were rushed to the house so I didn’t have a chance to see it



The other new exhibit in located upstairs next to Asimo Theater




Baseball candy apples


What is this?!?!


The word has gotten out


This was a 45 minuet wait


I guess maintenance for this building has stopped


You have to wonder if this track will be removed during the refurb


On to the Anniversary day, this was the line for 55th merchandise


The stage set for the 55th







55 years ago, on this spot…




This is why most of Main Street is going to be walled off in the coming months

Compare the new street replaced last year to the old street


The 55th Cast Member Button


Until Labor Day, you can view opening day footage in the Main Street Cinema









Their will be a video of the new films up soon


Vinylmation artist Noah was at the 55th merchandise event

55th anniversary Candy Apples, but that’s not what we are here for


The infamous Anniversary cupcakes

We picked our spot on top of the Main Street station to sing Disneyland Happy Birthday


Disneyland President George Kalogridis was close by to view the ceremony


Why is Town Square empty?

Oh no…


Flash Mob!!!










Cast Members from all over the resort joined in the Mob






A video will be up soon covering the flash mob.


Very rare to see Max out


After the mob, some characters stayed out for meet and greets


One more look


Sadly, Magical! did not show that night due to High winds


On the day after the anniversary, I noticed this particularly damaged piece of Rocket Rods track


To finish off the report, a picture of a Indy vehicle on blocks as seen from the monorail.
