Sparkling With A Force That Is Pure

After a week away from the Disneyland Resort and spending it with the family during Thanksgiving, it was nice to be back.

Now, you may have realized that this pictorial is being published on a Saturday. I didn't have enough time Friday evening as I was out of town. I had just enough time to visit the Disneyland Resort during the day before I had to leave Anaheim.

Walking through Downtown Disney, I notice new banners











Disney California Adventure gets some recognition during the 60th anniversary Diamond Celebration for Disneyland.

And it's not just in Downtown Disney....











These flags are placed here and there throughout the Main Entry Plaza

First stop,
Disney California Adventure






Santa hasn't arrived for the day yet


Some frame work appearing where the Gazebo used to stand






Multiple vehicles are being testing at Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters







Video of the vehicles in motion taken from Mickey's Fun Wheel








The windows seem to be getting cleaned up a bit as they started to get this white film on them.






This sock being used as decoration at Grizzly Peak Airfield looks familiar.


The sock looks familiar because it is the same socks being sold in Humphry's



Disneyland time


Set up for Candlelight




Light strands draped across the Flower Market on Center Street


Portraits!
Portraits here!
Get your Portraits done!


The flags leading up to Sleeping Beauty Castle have been turned sideways for some reason
With them sideways, they practically disappear and the whole Castle can be seen














Star Wars name tags being sold at Tomorrowlanding




A lot of Guests are waiting for Star Wars Launch Bay to open


Hmmm... I wonder what this says


... and this....


Aurebesh is everywhere








Did you know that this Cantina is not suppose to be THE Cantina that was depicted in Star Wars Episode IV?
This Cantina is suppose to represent Cantinas all throughout the Star Wars universe




BB8


Look inside the Tantive IV and you can spot a Hidden Mickey in the form of a Star Wars poster.

Another Hidden Mickey next to the staircase leading up to the second floor




Shortly after I exited the Launch Bay, the building was quickly evacuated


Guests quickly leaving the Launch Bay


While inside, I struck up a conversation with a Cast Member and was given these cool cards





These cards were just recently being handed out

Now it's time for a few night shorts of Tomorrowland during Season Of The Force




























Would be cool if this thing spun around like it used to.




Light bulb light up Mickey Ears




The Flower Market on Center Street with the strands of lights draping across it



As I walked through Downtown Disney, I continued to walk to the Disneyland Hotel.

Walk around a bit, looked at the Big Thunder Mountain model in the Frontier Tower, then made my way towards the Disneyland Hotel lobby.


Gingerbread house welcomes Guests

As I was about to leave, some kids wanted their mother to see the little house.
Little house?
Curious, I eventually went over there to check it out.

And sure enough,


A little "house" was set up.
Granted, it's just the living room portion of it.


This is done in a very retro 60's inspired style

















That will conclude today's ...er, um, yesterday's pictorial

Thanks for stopping by and checking it out
