From Night to Light and a Peppermint Treat

I didn't get to celebrate Thanksgiving with the family.  And it didn't bother me too much as I don't eat Thanksgiving food.  Later on, I decided to go to Disney California Adventure to check some stuff out


























The new Parts 'N' Stuff neon sign that replaced the old Radiator Springs Racers Fast Pass distribution sign


Ramone's House of Body Art store expansion into the old FP distribution opened up




























Finally saw Cozy Cone Christmas tree and the Cozy Cone stars lit up










Made it over to Mad T Party






















Even the Mad T Party gets into the Christmas spirit






































Cute Vinylmation







Now went back to the Disneyland Resort.  Got up at 7am for an 8am opening


Still a little foggy


But no crowds to get into either Disney California Advneture or Disneyland. Maybe they are all at the stores for Black Friday






The line up for Radiator Springs Racers Fast Pass goes down Hollywood Blvd








Minnie Mouse in front of Tower of Terror
















Leaving Disney California Adventure until the fog lifts


Disneyland time






Getting started on the 20 days of Candlelight


Christmas tree lights






Why is everyone pressed up against the Candy Palace window


Oh! Candy Canes




















Princess Fantasy Faire construction


























As you can see, with the recent removal of a couple Big Thunder Fast Pass machines, the walk way is wider for Guest flow


One quick shot of Princess Fantasy Faire while walking to the old Fantasy Faire location
















The ATM and... wait, what's that in the corner


A family restroom




The water fountains even have rails to separate people from those who want to replenish their thirst




I wonder how many of the guys love wearing the kilts ;)  ha ha












Heading back down Main Street to Disney California Adventure, the sun is finally coming out




Minnie Mouse... as a dog?! ha ha.  Or maybe acting like a real mouse



















Sorry for the jump, but now back to Disney California Adventure


The front of the Paradise Pier hotel looks to be completed with the new paint job


Radiator Springs Racers!




Day shots of Ramone's expansion






















Over at the Casa Della Tires


Luigi's Flying Tires have recently installed the old spinning joy sticks






Can't spin me round round


The dome like pieces that covered it up previously when they were first removed




Obviously they re-installed them for show purposes since they are made to look like the air valve and cap for  tires














Over at Elias & Company, a while ago I showed you the storybook like window displays from the Silly Symphony short "Santa's Workshop".


Inside, they have continues with scenes from the animated short








Presents under the tree!




Last Saturday they removed the walls and the planter was revealed








While walking back home, noticed the poor photoshoped image of Knott's Xcelerator on a different coaster track.

That will conclude today's pictorial
Thanks for stopping by

Until Next Time..
