Disneyland Resort Update: Festival of Holidays, Small World and More

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! 
Picture
Lots of Festival of Holidays banners throughout DCA
Picture
This was one of the first Festival of Holidays treats we tried, and it was our favorite.
Picture
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.
Picture
Hot Chocolate Macaroon
Picture
Some kind of tart thing
Picture
Write a letter to Santa!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Over at Disneyland, Sunday was a gorgeous and not very busy night at the park
Picture
Picture
Picture
Love the Pet Cemetary
Picture
Took advantage of riding the Mark Twain at night. Always a favorite.
Picture
Some work going on with the Fantasmic fountains
Picture
Picture
Picture
The best mountain is even better at night
Picture
Picture
It was a gorgeous night at the park
Picture
Even though it's closed (reportedly for awhile) it's still nice to see the lights on Small World.
Picture
The Lightning Lane sign has been added
Picture
Gorgeous tree in Town Square
Picture
The next morning we started at Disneyland
Picture
Love hearing the Christmas Loop walking down Main Street
Picture
Hi Walt and Mickey
Picture
Rode Storybook for the first time in awhile
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Caught this at the Big Thunder station
Picture
More Haunted Mansion
Picture
Jack has decked all the halls
Picture
Back at DCA, we tried some more food. The Peppermint Shake was awesome!
Picture
As was this pasta cone
Picture
And this Philly Cheesesteak
Picture
Don't be sad
Picture
The best Cars Land entrance
Picture
We love that the Festival of Holidays celebrates a variety of holidays, not just one.

Disneyland Update: HalloweenTime, Jungle Cruise and Spooky Food

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!

Welcome back to Disneyland!
Picture
We're ready for some fun!
Picture
Picture
Love the Halloween decorations!
Picture
We finally got to see the Jungle Cruise udpates! And we loved them! Also had an amazing skipper!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Time for Haunted Mansion Holiday!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Can't believe it's already been 20 years! I still have my 2001 shirt, which I wear only once a year.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Always one of the favorite things to check out!
Picture
We got stopped in the graveyard so got a few good pics!
Picture
Picture
Time to join the resistance!
Picture
A wow moment each and every time
Picture
Backside of Walt and Mickey
Picture
Pulled Pork Fries: The Pork and Cole slaw were great. The fries could have been a bit warmer.
Picture
The blood orange slushie was fantastic! Could have used a bit o' Rum though. =)
Picture
It's 1:00pm, time to head over to DCA! The 1:00 thing is so arbitrary, hope they change that soon.
Picture
PBJ & W: PB & J Raspberry Jam Hard Cider with Peanut Butter Whiskey. It didn't need the Whiskey but it was still tasty.
Picture
Single Rider FTW! Love when you can do single rider and still ride in the same vehicle!
Picture
Cars Land decorations! Click the pictures below for a larger version of each.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Pepper-Jack Cheese Stick. It looked REALLY spicey.
Picture
But it could have been a bit spicier for me.
Picture
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!
Picture
Picture
Picture
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.
Picture
It also happened to be Gay Days, moved from it's traditional first weekend in October.
Picture
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!

Disneyland Resort Update: HalloweenTime and ToonTown Construction - September 5, 2021

​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
Picture
Picture
Picture
We'll get back to you a bit later DCA!
Picture
It's time to unlock our Magic Key!
Picture
Crowds to get in about 10am
Picture
The Gourd's are back!
Picture
Picture
Who else missed HalloweenTime at Disneyland?
Picture
Picture
The park was "sold out" for both daily ticket holders and Magic Key, so it was a bit busy.
Picture
Picture
I really wanted to ride Indy, but no single-rider line during my visit
Picture
Some kind of work going on with Tarzan's Treehouse
Picture
Picture
I did not ride Haunted Mansion Holiday, I'll wait and ride with my wife when we go back on the 17th.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Pooh Corner was back open, so took a look at the treats. Including a $13 cookie.
Picture
Work going on to expand the seating around Fowler's Harbor. Maybe the first step in expanding the New Orleans theme to Splash Mountain?
Picture
Picture
Did Single Rider on Matterhorn, and actually had an enjoyable ride!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Work going on in front of Toontown. Very small walkway right now.
Picture
Somebody misspelled "Soon". =)
Picture
According to the artwork, this looks like it's going to be the rides entrance
Picture
Hopefully these buildings will get refreshed as well
Picture
Love this sign!
Picture
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.
Picture
Yes please!
Picture
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.
Picture
Let's check out some Halloween merch!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Coco! Lots more Halloween merchandise is in our update video.
Picture
Picture
Over at DCA, really love that they've done something different with the Halloween decorations over here.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Cars Land definitely has the best decorations
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Did Single Rider on Radiator Springs Racers which probably saved me an hour
Picture
Did Single Rider on Incredicoaster which was longer than the stand-by wait. Pick and choose your single rider lines!
Picture
Had to stop by to see the boss!
Picture
Had a fun few hours at the park! Can't wait to go back and see more of HalloweenTime!
