Disneyland continues through its big 60th Anniversary summer with hot temperatures and fairly moderate crowds. With the theme parks running at peak performance, there’s not much news as Disneyland gets ready to host big crowds arriving for the 2015 D23 Expo, which will take place at the Anaheim Convention Center in mid-August. As Disneyland gears up for big crowds of Disney fans descending on the Resort Area later next month, projects Disney has released few details on continue in Tomorrowland and Cars Land. Will we get a sneak preview of those new attractions at the Expo?
Don’t miss your weekly Disneyland Resort crowd forecast — provided by our friends at Mouseaddict — in the Weekly News and Information Roundup at the end of today’s update!

Refurbishment Round-up |
A look at refurbishment projects underway…
Construction walls are up along the walkway between Frontierland and Fantasy Faire for some work.
In Tomorrowland, work continues at Innoventions with scaffolding and tarps now up along the exterior of the lower level. Disney has yet to officially announce what’s moving into the massive Tomorrowland building but rumors point toward a November-opening for a new Star Wars experience on the lower level with upgraded Marvel exhibits and meet-and-greets upstairs.
In California Adventure, not much progress can be seen at the on-going Luigi’s Flying Tires replacement project.
