  Due to the Santa Ana winds it was crystal clear and warm when I arrived at the Disneyland Resort. Temps were in the mid 80s.
  I was parked on the 5th floor and walked down the steps, noticed the 4th floor was still empty.
  Hmm.. looks like something/someone ran into one of the Downtown Disney signs.

  They were directing cars around to the Toy Story lot.

• Page Number: 12
  

  I crossed the street and cut through the Grand Californian.
  Noticed the carpet had been removed. Guess they are replacing it. I had not heard of any problems (last time they did this was after the Christmas tree incident several years ago).

• Page Number: 18
  

  In an effort to cut down on the ticket renting problem that has been featured in some recent news stories Disney has guests with 4 & 5 day tickets using a separate set of turnstiles where they are checking IDs.

  Vanellope von Schweetz was out when I stopped by.

  Looking back you can see there was no line right now, sure this will change once word is out and the film is released.
  More video games divide the store from the photo area.
  Speaking of merchandise..
  

• Page Number: 50
  

  The Starcade really is a crazy mix of things right now. A random Christmas rack of items as you head to the arcade games.
  Looking back you can just barely see the photo area in the back. You enter from the exit area for Space Mountain.. not from the store.
  Soundstational was just making its way to the hub when I was passing through.

  No real visible progress in Cars Land decorating from this angle.
  But did find this tree by Sarges that has been completely wrapped in lights.
  

• Page Number: 62
  

  Moved on to the Racers.. figured I would give the single rider line a try. A rare sight..
  The single rider line looked to be maybe 20 minutes. After I took this picture they announced the ride had stopped. I decided to bail out, normal operation did resume within about 10 minutes though, so it was a short downtime.
  Random cone picture.
  

• Page Number: 63

  Only another week (well slightly over it runs to 11/5) if you want to see any of the Frankenweenie exhibit or clip.

  Took a look in Dancin with Disney and it was a moderate crowd by its standards.

• Page Number: 69
  

  Realized earlier I did not take a picture showing where the tree was.. its the large one in the yard that was decorated.
  Was walking through the stores and noticed the pressed penny machines between Big Top Toys and Los Felix Five and Dime.
  

• Page Number: 70
  

  Curious why the Cars Land one is here and not out there.

  The best costumes I saw.. a Lego family.
  

• Page Number: 76
  

  Noticed these on the bottom of the Fantasmic light towers. Are these the emitters for the Glow with the Show Ears?
  Stopped outside the Hungry Bear and he was watching me.. I kind of miss the old generic Hungry sign. But I guess it is too much effort for modern guests to walk up the ramp to see what is being sold there.
  A photo op being set up in New Orleans Square for the party.
