Monstrous Summer Heatwave at the Disneyland Resort

Waking up this morning around 7:00 a.m., the sun was already out.  The past week it has been really hot as it has been in the 90's at the Disneyland Resort

Let's just hope I don't melt....

Batch roasting coffee since 191871.
Of course, I am sure Disney would like us to believe they are referring to 1871 to keep Main Street's turn of the century theme
But obviously it's a nod to Starbucks since it was started in 1971.

  2. I didn't notice at first because I was looking down at my camera. I look up and that's when I noticed it. I had to think fast if I wanted to take a picture of it or not. I mean, it would just be for fun and once I had the picture, I could decided if I want to use it or not. And in the end, I did. ha ha

    1. I haven't heard anything yet on whether Buena Vista Street will be decorated for Halloween Time.
      It would be cool if they did.
