Seasons Greetings With Security And Star Wars At The Disneyland Resort

Brrr... it's cold out. And not is it only cold, but it's a bit breezy too!
It turns out to be one of the coldest days of the week.
Dipping down into the low 60's.

With jacket on, I make my way to the Disneyland Resort

The Parks didn't open till 9 am
So with time to kill, I made my way over to the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure to check out the progress of the soon to be new security bag check











Although trams were in service this early in the morning, I decide to walk.
My first stop would be Disneyland because I want to ride Big Thunder to check out how Star Wars Land is shaping up


With a 9 a.m. opening, there are a lot of people




Most Guests ran to get in line to purchase a limited number of hand made candy canes


They even had a photo op of putting your head through a hole in a flimsy candy cane cut out.
But because it was windy, it was hard to keep the candy cane upright




Some Christmas Time decorations in Frontierland












Big Thunder time!


















It was so windy that it knocked over these barriers along the Rivers of America




Making my way across the Critter Country bridge, one can see some of the construction taking place just beyond the Hungry Bear Restaurant












One of many portable charging stations throughout the Disneyland Resort.
I was just amazed to see one on the lower level of the Hungry Bear Restaurant


One last look at the construction before heading out of Critter Country







Over in Adventureland ...


Disney's newest princess, Moana is doing a meet and greet in the old Aladdin's Oasis restaurant queue




They took our guns!


They took our guns

This years Candlelight narrator is none other than Ginnifer Goodwin.
She is best known for her role as Snow White on Once Upon A Time and as Judy Hopps in Zootopia


Making my way over to Disney California Adventure, it looks like a lot of people are trying to get in.
But looks can be deceiving as many of these people are not even near the main gate.
They seems to just be gathered here in the Main Entry Plaza
















At the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, a hint of a new color scheme can be seen at the tip top of the Tower.






I choo-choo-choose you

Taking the tram back to the the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure





Gotta check out the Star Wars Land construction site
