  I was stuck parking out in the Pumba lot today. (This is across the street from the Garden Walk)
  One of the shuttle busses
  I opted to walk, its only a 10 minute walk

  The parking signs have some Disneyland signage now.
  No real lines at security
  No lines at the stroller rental area

  The big news of day is the Gallery opened in its new location
  

• Page Number: 6
  

  Also the front part of the Opera House Lobby featuring the Disneyland story opened.
  Stepping into the bank. The first room, which used to be the bank has retained a little of the bank look/feel.

  Some artwork on the way in
  

• Page Number: 11

  This room now connects to the opera house lobby. The first room of the lobby is now opens and features the Disneyland Story.
  Looking back at the door I just walked through (I am going to skip to the entrance to the lobby and work my way through in order for the photos)
  When you first enter the lobby you are greeted by a bench.
  

• Page Number: 25
  

  Not any bench... but the bench from Griffith park where Walt first dreamed of Disneyland. So its the beginning of the Disneyland Story.
  

• Page Number: 26
  

  When you turn the corner to enter lobby you see several displays showcasing the history of the park (as well as some models). In the far left you can see the doorway to the gallery.

  Out to Tom Sawyer Island now to see what is new
  The walkway around the fort is now open to guests (it was blocked off since the Island makeover. Not sure when this reopened since I have not been out here in months)
  

• Page Number: 53
  

  Out behind the Fort the graveyard is still intact. No noticeable changes.
  

• Page Number: 54
  

• Page Number: 55
  

  This portion of the island was dead. I ran into two groups my entire time out there. One by the restroom and then one near the graveyard.
  The Mark Twain was sitting at the dock my entire time in the area, not sure what was going on.

  A sign to celebrate 10 years of pin trading (which seems odd to me since Disney has had pins for years but I guess the official program is 10 years old).
  More banners
  

• Page Number: 84
  

  Looks like they have just about 3 floors of windows in.
  

• Page Number: 85
  

  A look over the walls at the new stroller rental location
  

• Page Number: 86
  

  It was radio day for the Halloween Time promotion. The 2nd floor balcony of Innoventions was the location.
  Some cages have been put over the speakers to protect/hide them?

  A couple random Small World shots
  The installation of the holiday lights has begun
  

• Page Number: 91
  

  I was really surprised permanent lights were not built into the facade during the year long rehab. Seems that would save some money possible.
  The confetti launchers have been removed from the parade route (guess Magical is not coming back any time soon). No signs of the snow machines yet but I bet those show up soon.
  The water was drained from Dumbo
  

• Page Number: 92
  

  Out to the ranch now to see what was going on

• Page Number: 94
  

• Page Number: 95
  

  The walkway has received another coat on it, this one brown. It looks much better than the black.

  I did not notice the tarps up last time by, guess that is why its drained so they can work under the bridge
  The display in the window of the castle is back (the curtain was pulled the last couple of trips)
  The villains have called it quits for the day.
