It's time for one of our very rare Disneyland updates. Typically when we go to Disneyland we aren't there for updates, just to enjoy our day. There are so many Disneyland Blogs/Vlogs out there most of our Disneyland updates get lost. So we reserve them for only a couple of times per year. Here is one of them. Enjoy!! =)
Welcome to the Happiest Place on Earth
They had a special flag retreat ceremony for Memorial Day, more on that below.
It seemed everybody was heading for Splash Mountain, we were not, we decided to rope drop Rise of the Resistance, something we don't typically do.
In fact, it's so rare that we went the completely wrong way through Critter Country and didn't realize the line started way back here. Oops.
Still, it was only about a 45 minute wait (vs the posted 85) so no problem.
Also rode Indy for the first time since the refurbishment, so great!
Disappointed the "news of the world" stuff didn't come back. Would be great if Disney would put it online or something.
Over near It's a Small World, the Live Action Little Mermaid photo up is available. It was quite popular when we walked by later.
Our first time in Toontown since all of the walls came down. We love it. Still too many kids. =)
We also rode Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. We love this ride SO much.
Love all of the little jokes in the queue.
I'm not usually one for conspiracy's, but when a posted 50 minute wait is only 15 minutes, there may be something to the Lightning Lane one.
Some Pride merchandise has also shown up in both parks. Love the collection this year.
A new Little Mermaid Spirit Jersey
And this awesome shirt! I will definitely be keeping an eye out for this in the outlet, I can't imagine it's that popular but I think I need it.
Also took a final ride on Splash Mountain.
I've never been the biggest fan of this attraction and always found it overrated. I got yelled at for saying that yesterday. I also think other attractions are overrated.
But I did enjoy my last ride. Video and pictures of my last ride are below.
Still wondering what's going to happen with Critter Country. With Tiana's restaurant being on the other side of Haunted Mansion, and the entrance to Splash Mountain being a couple of football fields away, well, we'll see.
We headed over to DCA for some drinks and snacks in the afternoon.
The watermelon margarita was very tasty.
We got Steppenwolf for I think the first time, and had a great group in our lift!
Is this new, or am I just not that perceptive? (probably the latter)
Back at Disneyland, we caught the end of the Flag Retreat.
Which included some low level fireworks.
We had planned on staying later in the evening, but while DCA was pleasantly absent of crowds, in the few hours we left Disneyland, the park just got swamped. So we decided to head out after doing some shopping.
As of right now we have plans to be back at the park for the first day of Rogers: The Musical. So we may actually have two Disneyland updates in a month. That's gonna be some kind of record for us. =) ​We hope you enjoyed the update! Have a great week!

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!

 Last week Renée made her first visit to WDW in awhile and sent some great pics of the goings on at Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. In addition, she had some amazing pics with Grogu, so if you missed Grogu's Day Out last week, be sure to check it out. You won't be disappointed. Written by Renée Girard  Good morning from Disney’s Hollywood Studios! I haven’t been in this park since July, should be interesting!  And I haven’t been on RotR in over a year. Hopefully the ride is running smoothly today! It was my first time using the virtual queue from home.  Conquered Toy Story Land in less than an hour.    Kylo Ren and storm troopers looking down at guests in Galaxy’s Edge.  I love how WDW has recently stepped up their game with the vegetarian food options. Docking Bay 7 in Galaxy’s Edge has one of my favorites, the Felucian Kefta and hummus garden spread.  The character cavalcades are fun to see. The only thing that bugs me is as they approach, guests don’t care about distancing and get up right next to you at the last minute to see them.     The park feels busy-ish but wait times for most rides are posted at 30-45 minutes and don’t take that long. Love Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway!   Rise of the Resistance was perfect. I hope I don’t have to wait another year till I get to ride it again.     First time park hopping since last March, and also first time seeing these big guys.  Caught the Mickey and friends cavalcade.   I honestly didn’t know that the new area in France that recently opened is literally just bathrooms and bloggers looking through the wall.   It’s nice to see the arts represented once again for the fifth annual Festival of the Arts at Epcot. That animated little f**ker is back as the icon.   The Voices of Liberty are a must see when visiting Epcot. Great to see them on the big stage performing Disney songs for the Festival of the Arts.   I love the new storyline for Gran Fiesta Tour. Donald bails before their big show! Face with tears of joy  Also my first time seeing the fountain, which looks great. Epcot is still very much under construction but if it’s going to look as good as this when it’s done, I’ll take it. Related Videos
