Walking in a Winter Warmerland at the Disneyland Resort

For it being winter, the weather this week has been great!  It was been warm, and it is suppose to be warm though the new year.  I love it!

It was warm enough that I didn't have to wear a jacket or any heavy clothing.  Warm enough for just a light shirt and jeans.



Look at those lines to get into Disneyland, which opened up at 8 a.m.


But not a huge demand this morning for Disney California Adventure

I will go inside Disney California Adventure for a bit, let the long lines at Disneyland calm down, and then head over.

Stepping through Disney California Adventure's gates and into Buena Vista Street


A family waits to board the Red Car Trolley


Walking through the stores.  I think they sold this last year too as it looks familiar




Even though Christmas is over, Christmas Time continues into 2014 and ends Jan. 6




Santa Claus has returned to the North Pole


The line for Radiator Springs Racers FastPass.
I wonder where the line ends.
Let's go find out




Oh!
The end of line for Radiator Springs Racers is shorter than I thought as it only stops around the corner




Minnie, Oh Minnie!


Ha ha ha ha   Duffy Bear dressed like Mickey Mouse






Heading into Disneyland now, with the lines to get in a lot shorter than they were only 30 minutes ago


Scaffolding on the back side of Space Mountain


Not even open an hour and Main Street is packed with people


To "hide" the fact that part of New Orleans Square, particularly Club 33, is getting a little refurbishment, Disney has hung a couple French style painting canvases








It's almost 9 a.m. and quite a number of people are riding Splash Mountain.
If it weren't for the fact that I don't like to get wet, I would have taken advantage of the short 10 minute wait and the warm weather, and ride it.


Watching Guests take the plunge




Although the logs weren't full, every log had someone.
Typically during winter time, and in the early morning, one would see that it's usually every other log or several logs before one would see Guests going down the drop.


Pirates of the Caribbean's line starting to get long


Riding the Mark Twain






I guess this is a cheaper and more effective way than having three separate backpack leashes.
He has it tied to his arm and wrapped around one arm on each of two older girls.








Big Thunder train testing without the water jugs in the seats








On the back side of the mountain.  The safety rails that I pointed out a number of months ago are now more visible with the bare trees around that area






Is the dynamite lit?
Or is it just sunlight hitting the tail end of the wick?


Walking through Tomorrowland, I see this long line


What I thought was for Space Mountain turned out to be for Innoventions


Strollers!




He looks nothing like Tom Hank ;) ha ha ha


As I am about to leave Disneyland, looking down Main Street U.S.A. and all those people






Heading into Disney California Adventure


Two citizens are out and about


Yup! Santa has truly left Elias and Company until next year






Some period themed hats for gentlemen and ladies can be found inside the Five and Dime


Fan of the Dole Whip?
Now your car or any place you hang it can now smell like one and remind you of your Disneyland trip




Just about heading out of the Disneyland Resort


All three ticket booth queues were practically full.
I hope they aren't buying just a one day ticket.
