From One Holiday To The Next At The Disneyland Resort

Are you ready?
Really ready?
Are you ready for Halloween?

Because Disney can't wait for it to get over so they can start Christmas Time at the Disneyland Resort
With all the Christmas decorations going up, it can be hard to tell that today's visit takes place on Halloween

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland Hotel, Sorcerer's Hat, 60th Anniversary
The Sorcerer's Hat at the Disneyland Hotel has gotten fresh new paint.
The stars were yellow, but we can see that they made them blue

Is this the "Year of a Million Dreams"?
Or are they getting ready for Disneyland's 60th anniversary

Downtown Disney's Christmas Tree is starting to go up

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, Halloween Time, Main Street U.S.A.
Inside Disneyland, we see they are celebrating Halloween Time

Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, Main Street U.S.A., Corridor, Livery
Today's big news is probably the reveal of the East Side Main Street doorway to the corridors

If you are familiar with your Disneyland history, this area was once proposed at the gateway to International Street, then later Liberty Square

It looks like Disney was inspired when they created this doorway

As you can see from the picture above, the current Livery facade resembles the Disneyland Construction Co facade

55 cents, eh
Must be a nod to the year 1955, the year Disneyland opened

Having a stable on Main Street does make sense.
After all, during the turn of the century, horses were still the mode of transportation among the residents.
And there are horse poles along Main Street where residents would have tied their horses to while they went inside.

This livery is somewhat near the Main Street Hotel

In the early 20th century, it was common to find Liveries near hotels and boarding houses. As most patrons of those establishments didn't have their own horse (some could have come to town by train or stagecoach), a horse from the livery could be provided to them during their stay

Earlier in the week, some people "panicked" when the scaffolding came down and they noticed that the half and half bulb was nowhere to be seen.
They thought that Disney management was ruining the history of the Park.
But as you can see, it has returned
