Sparkling With A Force That Is Pure

After a week away from the Disneyland Resort and spending it with the family during Thanksgiving, it was nice to be back.

Now, you may have realized that this pictorial is being published on a Saturday. I didn't have enough time Friday evening as I was out of town. I had just enough time to visit the Disneyland Resort during the day before I had to leave Anaheim.

Walking through Downtown Disney, I notice new banners

And it's not just in Downtown Disney....

As I walked through Downtown Disney, I continued to walk to the Disneyland Hotel.

Walk around a bit, looked at the Big Thunder Mountain model in the Frontier Tower, then made my way towards the Disneyland Hotel lobby.

As I was about to leave, some kids wanted their mother to see the little house.
Little house?
Curious, I eventually went over there to check it out.

And sure enough,

A little "house" was set up.
Granted, it's just the living room portion of it.

  1. The banners in front of the castle get turned each night for Disneyland Forever, so that they don't block the projectors. Looks like the Entertainment team forgot to swivel them back around after the previous nights' show!

    1. Oh! I didn't know they did that as I haven't seen Disneyland Forever from the Castle before. :)
