Checking Out Olaf's Snow Fest As Christmas Time Winds Down At The Disneyland Resort

Happy New Year to all my lovely readers! :)

Hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve
As for me, well, I haven't been feeling that great.  I think it's the cold, dry, windy, having to get up at the crack of dawn, weather that has gotten to me.

But I was well....enough, to make it to the Disneyland Resort for my first visit of the new year.

Walking into the Main Entrance Plaza, noticing not a whole lot of Guests going inside Disney California Adventure...

...or going into Disneyland for that matter.

First stop, Hollywood Land
We can see the line up on the right for the Frozen Meet and Greet with Anna and Elsa Return Time Ticket
I noticed that the Frozen Fun banners on either side of the street have been removed

As Guests make their way to the Animation Building for their Return Time ticket, I am heading in another direction

My first stop was to get a FastPass for "For the First Time in Forever"

Second stop... go check out Olaf's Snow Fest

Can someone tell me why this flag banner is not straighten out?
I mean, I would think it would be a simple fix.  Something that could have been done before the Park even opened

To see Olaf, one must get a reservation time. But unlike getting a paper ticket, you get a portable electric wand (similiar to what restaurants use when your table is ready) that will light up when it's your turn to visit Olaf

What I noticed that after a period of time, the Cast Members will clear out the courtyard so they can rake it. I guess to keep the ice from packing solid.  Once it is all nice and soft again, they would reopen the courtyard

  1. Great update as always. I just love the way you pick out the best things to photograph. I used to go every Sunday for almost 4 years but just can't do that much anymore. Need to find a better way down than bus. Train is OK but costs to much now. Sigh. Watch your updates to keep up to date on whats going on.
