Fri"day" the 13th At The Disneyland Resort

Yesterday, I visited the Disneyland Resort on Friday the 13th.  You will notice that "day" is in quotations in the title.  That is because I went during the early part of Friday.  There was a Villain's event later on in the evening, but I couldn't stay for that.  I had already made plans to be out of town for the evening.

Let's go the the Disneyland Resort now....

Normally I would go to Disney California Adventure.  But Disneyland was offering the Halloween season with Haunted Mansion Holiday and Ghost Galaxy.  My goal was to visit Haunted Mansion Holiday before the crowds hit

Getting in line for Haunted Mansion Holiday was over by Cafe Orleans.
Cast Members were stationed on the front lawn, telling Guests to keep the line moving.
If one wanted pictures, to step aside and let others pass or take pictures while walking

Inside the stretching room, a new projection was installed on the portrait gallery ceiling.

It is a giant stain glass window of a Christmas wreath

There is no more giant Jack Skellington head that telling us "Happy Holidays".
It is now a new projection with Jack and Zero.
As you can see, the projection includes the light house steeple and the hanging man

This new projection is much better than the giant Jack head.  I always felt that it was anticlimactic.  But with this new projection, it ties in the scene very well.

The portraits now have an animated Zero flying through them.
Zero leaves the reindeer painting and then flies through each portrait.
Very creative and humorous
