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

 Last week we made our way back to the Disneyland Resort for our second Disney trip since the parks opened. We hadn't planned on making any return trips prior to the parks re-introducing some kind of Annual Pass program, but, well, it was a big couple of days for our family. Something I'll get into in the second half of this update later this week. In the meantime, enjoy Day 1 of our update at Disney California Adventure. Be sure to check out our video comparing the parks from early June to late July below. Written by Gregg Condon  Welcome back to the Disneyland Resort. Much easier time getting through Security than in June. Still, Disneyland does need to improve their entry process.  I would buy all of these if they sold them. But we'll get back to you tomorrow Disneyland  It was a beautiful morning at DCA, we decided to rope drop Radiator Springs Racers.    Just before rope drop, heading to Cars Land
RSR has one of the best queues  Heading into Avengers Campus, first time we've used this entrance.  Captain Marvel making sure everything is on the up and up  Spidey, still a super fun ride. Not sure it still needs a virtual queue though.  First time checking out some of the food in Avengers Campus  Lol, stand-by.   Now THAT'S a giant pretzel  Hey Guardians, we'll get back to you later, we were headed to Animation and AC! One of a few things they got completely right on opening day
Grizzly Peak is the one of the other things they got right on day one   It was a beautiful day on Paradise, err, Pixar Pier   Back to Avengers Campus and some fun with the Guardians of the Galaxy  This thing was back, so of course we had to walk all over it  I love this ride so much and it may be my favorite in the park
   Always looks like he's holding a Cheez-It    
We finally tried some Avengers drinks!  Who knew that Dale was a Variant?  Absolutely LOVED the new Coco scene in Philharmagic. Can't wait to see this show in full screen in October at Magic Kingdom.
 When are they adding Miss Minutes to Philharmagic?  Thanks for traveling west Walt! Be sure to check back later this week for Day 2! Related Videos
