Oh Hello Thursday. Remember Me? I'm Visiting the Disneyland Resort Today

According to news stations and weather apps, it was suppose to rain Wednesday night, through Thursday, all day Friday, and into Saturday.

Because of the rain, I wasn't sure if I would get to go to the Disneyland Resort to do my weekly photo because the last think I want to do is get my camera wet.

It did rain early Thursday, but around 8:00 a.m. I noticed that the clouds were starting to break.  I kept an eye on them and when I saw sunlight, I thought that there might be a chance that I would be able to quickly get to the Disneyland Resort.

When I was told that there would be no more rain for today, I figured this might be my only chance to get to the Disneyland Resort as I didn't want to try for Friday

Made my way to the Disneyland Resort about 9:50 a.m. for a 10 a.m. opening.
Disney California Adventure has quite the demand getting in
The demand for Disneyland barely reached the Monorail beam

As I was back behind Big Thunder Mountain, Guests could see the Cast Members riding the attraction.
Because they saw "people" on the ride, they thought it was open :(

I spotted this Frozen poster while walking through Big Top Toys.
I was curious to see how much it was selling for.
$39.95 + tax
I think $40 bucks is a big much for this.
I wonder how they will sell.ha ha

Well that will conclude today's pictorial
Thanks for stopping by and checking it out

Feel free to leave a comment

Until Next Time....
