Only A Week To Go For Halloween Time 2013

It's that time of year when the Disneyland Resort is recovering from the Summer crowds, the attendance is low, and they are transitioning into Halloween Time.

Disneyland Resort, Halloween Time
Even though it's still a week away, the Disneyland Resort Mickey and Friends Tram Loading/Unloading is already advertising Halloween Time

If you look closely, you may recognize the passenger (guy in black shirt) in the front seat ... Robb Alvey from Theme Park Review. Middle seat is his wife, Elissa, and daughter.
I was just snapping at the different scenery when these cars came over the hill.  I didn't think anything of it until I was going through my pictures.  At the same time, I saw this post on Twitter








Disney California Adventure, Cars Land, Radiator Springs Racers
Good news for those who are visiting Disney California Adventure mid-September...
Radiator Springs Racers was scheduled to close for a week for a small refurbishment dealing with the loading station and a few other things that need to be addressed
These plans were made months in advanced with everyone on board for the time line.
But somewhere, the ball was dropped when it came time for the refurbishment schedule posting, especially on the Disneyland website.
To avoid frustrated and angry Guests, who may ask for some sort of compensation for coming all the way to the Disney California Adventure only to be told that that one ride they wanted was closed ... for a week!
After all, the Disneyland Resort is still pushing Cars Land as the major draw.
So now Radiator Springs Racers will close in November, right after Halloween Time, but before Christmas Time.

I love how the Indian Chief turns his upper body to wave at the Disneyland Railroad as it passes by...

  1. Hey, I just thought you should know that when I came to your blog this morning it immediately tried to download a version of Flash on my computer that Norton freaked out over and blocked. Obviously, THAT has never happened before here! I refreshed and it happened again. I got my hubby to try it from his computer and the exact same thing happened to him too. I think you might have a virus. :-( Just thought I should say something.

  2. And it just tried to download a sketchy version of Flash Player again when I left you the above comment.
