Over the weekend, we had some friends visiting Disneyland and they took over our social media for a couple of days, and sent us some great shots of both the Festival of Holidays and other things around the parks! Enjoy!  Lots of Festival of Holidays banners throughout DCA  This was one of the first Festival of Holidays treats we tried, and it was our favorite.  We got stopped on Mermaid right here, never realized how big Ariel and Eric's head and hands are compared to the rest of their bodies.  Hot Chocolate Macaroon  Some kind of tart thing  Write a letter to Santa!
  Over at Disneyland, Sunday was a gorgeous and not very busy night at the park    Love the Pet Cemetary  Took advantage of riding the Mark Twain at night. Always a favorite.  Some work going on with the Fantasmic fountains
 The best mountain is even better at night   It was a gorgeous night at the park  Even though it's closed (reportedly for awhile) it's still nice to see the lights on Small World.  The Lightning Lane sign has been added  Gorgeous tree in Town Square  The next morning we started at Disneyland  Love hearing the Christmas Loop walking down Main Street  Hi Walt and Mickey  Rode Storybook for the first time in awhile     Caught this at the Big Thunder station
 Back at DCA, we tried some more food. The Peppermint Shake was awesome!  As was this pasta cone  And this Philly Cheesesteak  Don't be sad  The best Cars Land entrance  We love that the Festival of Holidays celebrates a variety of holidays, not just one. Related Videos

Last week while down in OC for Scary Farm, we spent the morning/early afternoon at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Our goal was to of course see this years version of Haunted Mansion Holiday, but also finally experience the updated Jungle Cruise (somehow we missed it on our last trip) and see about getting our first ride on Monsters after Dark! Happy to say we were successful on all 3! Written by Gregg Condon  Welcome back to Disneyland!  We're ready for some fun!   Love the Halloween decorations!  We finally got to see the Jungle Cruise udpates! And we loved them! Also had an amazing skipper!
 Time for Haunted Mansion Holiday!    Can't believe it's already been 20 years! I still have my 2001 shirt, which I wear only once a year.     Always one of the favorite things to check out!  We got stopped in the graveyard so got a few good pics!   Time to join the resistance!  A wow moment each and every time  Backside of Walt and Mickey
 It's 1:00pm, time to head over to DCA! The 1:00 thing is so arbitrary, hope they change that soon.
 Cars Land decorations! Click the pictures below for a larger version of each.
 After our snack we wanted to see what time Monsters After Dark started and if we had time to ride before heading to Scary Farm!
 We happened to catch it just as they started letting the line in and waited about 10 minutes! And it was AWESOME! This may be our favorite version of this attraction.  It also happened to be Gay Days, moved from it's traditional first weekend in October.  We had a great few hours at Disneyland, it's so great to be able to drop in again! Thanks for reading! We'll be back at Disneyland in a few weeks for a multi-day visit (a make up from our cancelled Florida trip) and will be checking out all of the nighttime Halloween magic at both parks!

Welcome to our first Disneyland Update since Magic Key! We're excited to start having regular Disneyland updates as a part of our coverage! Written by Gregg Condon    We'll get back to you a bit later DCA!  It's time to unlock our Magic Key!  Crowds to get in about 10am  The Gourd's are back!   Who else missed HalloweenTime at Disneyland?   The park was "sold out" for both daily ticket holders and Magic Key, so it was a bit busy.   I really wanted to ride Indy, but no single-rider line during my visit  Some kind of work going on with Tarzan's Treehouse   I did not ride Haunted Mansion Holiday, I'll wait and ride with my wife when we go back on the 17th.    Pooh Corner was back open, so took a look at the treats. Including a $13 cookie.  Work going on to expand the seating around Fowler's Harbor. Maybe the first step in expanding the New Orleans theme to Splash Mountain?   Did Single Rider on Matterhorn, and actually had an enjoyable ride!
 Work going on in front of Toontown. Very small walkway right now.  Somebody misspelled "Soon". =)  According to the artwork, this looks like it's going to be the rides entrance  Hopefully these buildings will get refreshed as well  Love this sign!  Honestly, not very excited for this to come back. Not because I don't like the attraction, but sitting in a tube with a bunch of people doesn't sound fun to me right now.  Yes please!  The Magic Key Lounge was the longest wait in the park. Not even kidding. A virtual wait (when I tried to check in there were about 200 people in front of me) and then once you're called back, there's another wait. For a photo op and phone chargers. Don't ever estimate the power of "passholders" again.  Let's check out some Halloween merch!
   Coco! Lots more Halloween merchandise is in our update video.   Over at DCA, really love that they've done something different with the Halloween decorations over here.  
 Cars Land definitely has the best decorations 
  Did Single Rider on Radiator Springs Racers which probably saved me an hour  Did Single Rider on Incredicoaster which was longer than the stand-by wait. Pick and choose your single rider lines!  Had to stop by to see the boss!  Had a fun few hours at the park! Can't wait to go back and see more of HalloweenTime! Related Videos
