Christmas Slowly Seeping In Before Halloween Is Over At The Disneyland Resort

It's always good to visit the Disneyland Resort

As I walked to the Disneyland Resort, I walked behind the ESPN Zone and through Downtown Disney

As I walked by the Downtown Disney Monorail station, I saw some Fall (??) decor

This reminds me of two things...
1 - Pocahontas
and
2 - The Year of a Million Dreams promotion between 2006-2008

The announcer before the show mentions that we will be visiting a land of magic and mystery. A land of no video lighting, flash photography, mobile phones, and other handheld devices (meaning iPads and Tablets).
So don't interrupt the journey with such distractions

  1. This Friday, you should go inside the Animation Building in Hollywood Land; in the Art of Animation area they have added a new ad/display for Big Hero 6 inside one of the display cases (In the space that previously showcased The Pirate Fairy)
