Halloween Hasn't Even Taken Place Yet and Christmas is Already Starting to Appear at the Disneyland Resort

Why hello there! Welcome to this weeks pictorial.
First of all, we are going to travel back to the night before.
Why?
Well because there are some new window displays at the World of Disney store in Downtown Disney. But to try and get the best pictures without glare, I had to visit World of Disney at night.

Coming upon a section of one of the themed window displays.

7:00 a.m. the next day, I get up and slowly get ready so I can head back to the Disneyland Resort for my pictorial update.

Man, not only is it overcast, but it is quite cool.  And it stays this way for majority of the morning I am at the Disneyland Resort.  Not until I am walking out of the Disneyland Mickey and Friends parking structure that the sun started to peek out from behind the clouds.

Now it's time to head to Disneyland


Disneyland ... where Halloween Time is still in place


Taped queue for City Hall


It's been quite cool that snow has formed on the rooftops of Sleeping Beauty Castle


"STARBUCKS IS NOW BEING SOLD INSIDE THE MARKET HOUSE"
Seriously, she was roaming the sidewalk and street, shouting out "STARBUCKS IS NOW BEING SOLD INSIDE THE MARKET HOUSE"
Is the Market House not meeting quota?


"That's right! You do what I tell you and you get in there and get some expensive coffee"


After some time, she is rotated inside somewhere and another Cast Member comes outside holding the menu and Starbucks cup in her hand


And you know what she does?
Nothing!
She stands and looks pretty :)
Of course she answers questions from the Guests


I decided to look inside and   ... is this busy enough for the Market House?
Did they want continuous full queue of Guests wanting coffee?



The shrubs along Sleeping Beauty Castle's forecourt are getting their lights for Christmas Time




Some work being done at the Pirates of the Caribbean exit


















Snow Mountain, meet Snow Castle













Hand rails attached to handrails of this staircase


Tangled has been evicted from Geppeto's Toy Shiop




Railings will never been complete, as long as their is safety left in the world






"it's a small world" closed for its Holiday make over


























Mickey Mouse leading the Disneyland Band


Mickey movin' to the goovin' beat of the Disneyland Band




Somewhere in this lush jungle lies an ancient temple ruin
























Recently there was a repaving project in the Pinocchio section of the Mickey and Friends Parking Structur with a new redesigned layout




I have seen cars exit from here more now than I did before.

Well that will conclude today's pictorial

Until Next Time ...
