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.
