The change in signage, now showing the former Radisson as the "Anaheim Maingate Hotel" while the new owners, Red Lion Group starts to renovate the hotel.

One of the Coach USA buses has a Knott's Haunt wrap

A look at the progress of the Anaheim GardenWalk, the biggest change, the Bubba Gump signage is up.

Maybe one of the last looks at the Timon lot before changes start.

A look at the Simba lot, which was being used on Friday for Theme Park parking (along with Pummba and Timon).

Progress on the Grand Californian Hotel expansion, basically building a basement for parking

Toy Story Mania! Progress

"PUSH" having fun with the Villians at Golden Screams

The new signage for the major changes in the A.R.T. system

And much more...

PUSH really needs a rubber stamp so he can really "sign" a proper autograph. Might even be able to have multiple messages available, including a Happy Birthday or other seasonal greetings...

If Imagineering can't figure out how to do it I've got a few ways to pull it off, give me a call...

Great update, thanks for sharing the pictures and infor. You must have done a lot of walking yesterday. Out of curiosity had you met Oreo before or was this just a one time thing?

Oreo was a one time thing, I walked up to the owner, who was waiting for the light to change, and asked if I could grab a few photos. He said sure, and in conversation (I was trying to get the dog to look at me, he stated his name was Oreo).

They've been parking guest in the Zazu parking lot, but calling it Simba in the past week. Usually Zazu is reserved for DTD parking, but they've been leaving the Simba portion empty and parking in Zazu instead.

Weird. You were taking pics of the Miner 49ers at the same time I was sitting there with my girlfriend watching them, too.
