Conner Purzycki’s 9/11/09 Disneyland Park Photo Report
While the rest of the WDWNT gang was at the D23 Expo, Conner Purzycki went to check out the amazingly low crowds at Disneyland, and he reports back to us with these photos:
You can see here just how empty the park was
Repaving at the entrance to Tomorrowland
There were also walls up to repave in front of the Plaza Inn restrooms
Seems like an odd place to have fruit growing
Where is everybody!?
Honey, I Shrunk the Audience was closed Tuesday through Thursday last week to install equipment for a private management screening of Captain EO, to see if the show might return this January
This sign still used the old Tomorrowland 1998 logo
This area of Tomorrowland was like a ghost town with both Honey, I Shrunk the Audience and Space Mountain closed
You could still get as far back as the restrooms, if you went through the Starcade
Blocking the Space Mountain exit
And the Honey, I Shrunk the Audience exit
Some work being done at the entrance to Frontierland
The Haunted Mansion closed the day before Conner visited, to install Haunted Mansion Holiday
Fastpass will be operational during Haunted Mansion Holiday only
Some work being done at the entrance to the French Market. The restaurant remained open however
Royal Street Veranda was closed
Also still closed, the Enchanted Cottage at the Princess Fantasy Faire
Construction on the new, permanent turkey leg stand, Edelweiss Snacks
Casey Jr. and Storybook Land are closed for lengthy refurbishments
The mini-Castle is still visible over the construction walls
Pretty big crowds for “Celebrate! A Street Party” for a quiet day
I spy Tony Baxter!
He was taking the voice of Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty, Mary Costa, on a tour through the Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough
Conner got a brief chance to talk with Mr. Baxter
Thanks for your report Conner!
