January 8, 2016

A somewhat depressing trip to the Disneyland Resort to kick off the new year. Christmas is rapidly disappearing and come next week a good number of attractions and areas will be closed. Some forever, some for major changes and others for renovation. I take a look around the park and enjoy some last trips around the Rivers of America.
