Photo Update 6/10/15 - Parking Lot and more

Some pics from around the complex this week starting with the news that some activity is happening towards the reorganization of the parking lot and entrance experience. The parking lot access from the campground entrance has been blocked off with barricades and fencing in anticipation of denying access to the parking lot without paying the new parking fee. It also appears that the shoulder into the park is being widened and perhaps additional lanes of traffic. If there are going to be toll booths for the parking lot they need to anticipate traffic back-ups as people spend time digging through their pockets, asking questions and undoubtedly yelling at the poor 16 year old girl who will have to take the brunt of people's anger having to pay for parking for the first time in 53 years.

Large sections of the parking lot of fenced off as construction moves on. This is the area formally occupied by the Wonderland Cinema and Mini-Golf.
 


 
 
Also around the park...
Guests were told that parents are no longer allowed inside the Choo Choo Charlie kiddie train attraction. In the past, parents of very small kids could push their children's hand powered crank cars around the track with the aid of a big stick. Now, the employees have to push the kids if they can't pedal the cars themselves. Sometime in the last week, there was reportedly an accident/injury that resulted in the new policy.
 

Noticed this around 8:00pm, all the seating from the Celebration Theater had been removed.

My guess is they moved the benches to erect the tent which is usually over the theater.


Nobody can resist taking pictures of baby ducks, especially when they cut across a walkway following their mommy.
 

And last, a picture of an empty Monorail station. Something you would NEVER see at Disney World and quite frankly it's not a common site at Dutch Wonderland either.
