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!

9/5/2021 0 Comments Disneyland Resort Update: HalloweenTime and ToonTown Construction - September 5, 2021Welcome 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

 Boo to you and a Happy Halloween Season!! It's time for the first of many Halloween updates over the next two months. This year we're starting off with the always fun Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom. Enjoy, and Boo to you and you and you and you ... Happy Halloween! Written by Renée Girard We’re still not cool enough to Universal Orlando’s HHN media night (don’t worry, we still love them and will visit this month!). But tonight we’ll continue the early Halloween celebration at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party!  Good news everyone, Starbucks is open!  Space Mountain in complete darkness is so fun!!  I enjoy Monsters Inc Laugh Floor, and it’s pretty cool that they made it a treat trail where you can also sit and watch their comedy acts.    I can’t believe it, you guys - Joffrey’s coffee is open too!! I gotta admit, their cold brew is delicious.  Elvis Stitch is meeting guests in the former Stitch’s Great Escape queue.  I’m still a huge fan of HalloWishes, but the Not So Spooky Spectacular fireworks are quite enjoyable too.  I don’t know if I’ll get to try all of the specialty treats, but as of right now, I definitely recommend the pumpkin cheesecake.   The Haunted Mansion is extra spooky on MNSSHP nights.  The Boo to You parade is still my favorite thing about the event. Love the addition of the bride, but I’m not so sure about the new Incredibles and Toy Story floats. But it’s all good, and that song will be stuck in your head all night!     Another successful evening of Not So Scary fun! Goodnight!  Related Videos
