  A banner for the Halloween party as you leave the Mickey and Friends garage.
  Several barriers stacked up on the goofy level. Guess some work is upcoming or just wrapped up?
  Looking up there is some work going on.

  Halloween billboards at the tram stop but thanks to that tram parked in front of them this is the best picture I could get on arrival.
  The usual displays along the tram route (I goofed with the camera setting, but luckily nothing new to see).
  New banners along Downtown Disney.

  The backside is still Cars Land.
  The walls for the planter at the right (west) side of the DCA entrance have been pushed out.
  Mona Monorail going by overhead.

  The pumpkin characters atop the entrance.
  

• Page Number: 6
  

  The floral Mickey is not really in the Halloween mode this year. Looks very traditional.
  

• Page Number: 7
  

  Magical ended its run last week and Remember starts this evening.
  Main Street was quiet thanks to the over 100 degree weather. City Hall and the Firehouse are behind wraps for some work.
  City Hall and the Restrooms are still accessible.
  

• Page Number: 8
  

  The usual Halloween decorations are up. I did not spot anything new.

  The Mad Hatter is closed for some work.
  

• Page Number: 10
  

  Some work by the Carnation Cafe entrance.
  

• Page Number: 11
  

  No visible progress on Coke Corner. I hope they replace the archway. It looks rather plain without it to me.
  The wait times around 1:25pm
  Indy is closed for several weeks of work.

  Jack and Sally out by the Haunted Mansion FastPass area. New this year, no Fastpasses for the Mansion.
  

• Page Number: 13
  

  Today was the first day of operation for the season.
  I skipped the line this first time by, wanted to go see the Carnival and waiting in the heat did not sound fun.
  The Jack popcorn buckets are back.
  

• Page Number: 14
  

  Stopped by the Pirates League and it was quiet this afternoon.
  A quick look around the store.
  

• Page Number: 15
  

• Page Number: 16
  

  Since they were in between guests the crew let me take a couple pictures of the courtyard. There are four stations, two on this side (two on the other).
  

• Page Number: 17
  

  Overhead some props.
  The other two stations.
  The large walkway is blocked off and looks to be used for photos or waiting area.
  

• Page Number: 18
  

  There is some Pirate treasure out and this is another photo area.
  Walked back noticed no one in this area so grabbed a clean pictures of the gift shop.
  

• Page Number: 19
  

  The Halloween tree has returned to Frontierland.
  

• Page Number: 20
  

  The Zocalo Park is again celebrating Dia De Los Muertos.
  

• Page Number: 21
  

• Page Number: 22
  

  A wider shot of the area
  Heading up the trail they have the water side blocked off again, assuming storage for the Halloween Party stuff like last year.
  No signage as you walk down the trail.
  

• Page Number: 23
  

  Big Thunder was down when I walked by. They were just releasing the trains from the brake zones.
  The small signs featuring the bears were still up.
  

• Page Number: 24
  

  Out at the ranch the Halloween Round up was going on. The shack was about the same. The pumpkin carvers were moved to the Jamboree this year.
  The goats are into the holiday spirit.
  

• Page Number: 25
  

  Moving to the Jamboree area the Carnival has come to town.
  

• Page Number: 26
  

  Thought this was a clever use of cotton candy.
  The Halloween Vittles that were for sale.
  Inside the tent was the Astounding Cauldron of Magic - Conjuring Villains, Just for Fun!
  

• Page Number: 27
  

  Only a few carvings have been done since today was the first day.
  

• Page Number: 28
  

  The gate has not been painted yet..
  In the back corner there are a couple of games you can play.
  

• Page Number: 29
  

  I gave the fortune a spin...
  Landed on the witch.
  

• Page Number: 30
  

  Was given a card (and a brief story too)
  A coloring area for kids to make a mask for the character parade.
  

• Page Number: 31
  

  Waited about 10 minutes to enter the tent. Captain Hook was on duty for my stop.
  There was a photopass photographer on hand to take your picture if you wished.
  They were rotating villains throughout the day.
  

• Page Number: 32
  

  Back outside. As you can see it was not too crowded today.
  The line for the tent.
  

• Page Number: 33
  

  I had a half hour till the Billies so went for a quick walk...
  Casey Jr is being worked on (actually the entire area so the Storybook Land boats are also closed).
  

• Page Number: 34
  

  But the ticket booth was outside the fence.
  Monstro is under wraps too.
  

• Page Number: 35
  

  The line for the Princesses was not too bad.. guess the blazing sun has a way to shorten things.
  Small World was a near walk on.
  

• Page Number: 36
  

  Surprised the signage was still up.
  Inside looks like more covers were removed but you cannot see anything else. Assuming they are working on the seating area.
  Benny was missing form Cartoon Spin.
  

• Page Number: 37
  

  Minnie was in a shady spot for pictures.
  The hills were being worked on.
  

• Page Number: 38
  

  No shortage of choices for what you want your popcorn in around the Disneyland Resort (these three, the coffin, then over at Cars Land the car as well as cone box I think in Tomorrowland they still had R2D2 too).
  No wait for the tea cups, and even some empty ones.
  Rumor is this winter they are going to finally replace this temporary solution for Alice with something nice.
  

• Page Number: 39
  

  A quick check of the new Princess home shows they have scaffolding and wraps up so that must mean all the steel is in place and they are starting the facade work.
  

• Page Number: 40
  

  Sure seems the flags have been at half staff a lot recently...
  A rare mid day on a Friday shot of wide open space at Disneyland. (temps were hitting 107 at the park according to some reports).
  

• Page Number: 41
  

  No real visible progress by the boutique.
  Back to the Roundup with a few minutes to spare.
  The banners along the walkway appeared to be the same.
  

• Page Number: 42
  

  A better picture of the carving area, it is the focal point when you first walk in.
  Mickey was out for pictures.
  

• Page Number: 43
  

  The initial reports were the characters with their Halloween costumes would only be at the Jamboree this year. Then later some had backed off that so not sure the final stance.
  If I were betting I would say when the Jamboree is open they will be there then in the evening once it closes they will be on Main Street.
  

• Page Number: 44
  

  Pluto was also out.
  Since Mickey did not have a line he went over to spin the wheel and play around a bit.
  He got a ghost which scared him...
  

• Page Number: 45
  

  Looked up and noticed some pumpkins overhead.
  Donald was next out of the gate.
  

• Page Number: 46
  

  The Billies made there way around the arena leading Mickeys Mask Parade which seemed a bit unorganized to me.
  They eventually made it to the stage.
  

• Page Number: 47
  

  And the characters paraded around a little (Donald and Goofy were out at this time).
  

• Page Number: 48
  

  The Billies did their Haunted Hillbillie show.
  Which featured the Devil Went Down to Georgia
  
  

• Page Number: 49
  

  And Ghost Riders in the Sky.
  The halloween beverage cups.
  

• Page Number: 50
  

  A video of the Billies and parade.
  A better picture of the coloring area.
  Minnie was out after the show.
  

• Page Number: 51
  

  Mickey joined her for a couple pictures.
  Time to head to Main Street and over to DCA. Pased some props in Frontierland.
  

• Page Number: 52
  

  Waits around 3:30pm
  The Straw Hatters on Main Street.
  

• Page Number: 53
  

  Very few guests outside this afternoon as it was the heat of the day.
  Random Emporium picture.
  The tarp up in front of the firehouse.
  

• Page Number: 54
  

  A nice little maze to get to the mens room, you have to use the wheel chair ramp and there are walls all around you.
  An ad for the party on the way out.
  

• Page Number: 55
  

  A better picture of the walls where they are now. No real visible progress yet.
  If you have been following any of the DCA news recently you probably already heard about the Buena Vista Street window controversy. They have taken the incredible windows the Imagineers made and added random merchandise to them. I hear they are better now, but they still bothered me. Here is the baseball window.
  And the other Five and Dime one.
  

• Page Number: 56
  

  A new edition of the Buena Vista Bugle is out, this is issue 4.
  

• Page Number: 57
  

  Another window. The glare was terrible so I gave us and said I would try again later.
  

• Page Number: 58
  

  Headed into Hollywood Land.
  Frankenweenie inspired food.
  

• Page Number: 59
  

  The Animation Building lobby has been taken over with a display too.
  

• Page Number: 60
  

  A little background on the exhibition.
  The first display case I walked up to featured the classroom.
  

• Page Number: 61
  

  They had a couple of cameras in the display and you could capture a picture and then send it via Facebook.
  

• Page Number: 62
  

  A look around the classroom.
  

• Page Number: 63
  

  The back side of the display.
  

• Page Number: 64
  

• Page Number: 65
  

• Page Number: 66
  

• Page Number: 67
  

  Next up the attic set.
  Here you could flip switches to make lights go on/off.
  The last set was the kitchen.
  

• Page Number: 68
  

  Then there was a display case with several figures.
  

• Page Number: 69
  

  Here is a wide shot of the lobby so you can see the four displays and how they are laid out. On the screens they would play some info about the film from time to time.
  This says nightly but Friday they had it playing all day.
  

• Page Number: 70
  

  No pictures allowed at the sneak peek.
  The entrance was closed and just like Tron you entered and exited through the exit doors of the theater.
  The movie posters on the way out have been swapped.
  

• Page Number: 71
  

• Page Number: 72
  

  The large Dancin with Disney sign is gone. It is still open though.
  A quick look inside.
  Guests were still avoiding the streets and sun.
  

• Page Number: 73
  

  The Red Car had just pulled out and no one was there so went for a ride. Ended up having it to myself for the first leg from here to Carthay Circle.
  

• Page Number: 74
  

  The wait times at 5:00pm. Notice the Racers are only an hour.
  A little hard to tell but no mist today, instead it was a steady stream of water, maybe a rain show is a good way to describe it.
  An attempt to capture it. Anyways there was a lot more water than normal but guests seemed to really like it with the heat.
  

• Page Number: 75
  

  Two of the three World of Color platforms were up for some work.
  Walked through the Wharf and spotted this sign/promotion.
  Headed into Cars Land.
  

• Page Number: 76
  

  Decided to give the Racers a try since single rider looked reasonable (which is was, only the first switchback was full)
  But as luck would have it with only a couple guests in front of me it went down. They started to evacuate riders and I bailed at that point.
  

• Page Number: 77
  

  On the way out spotted them checking this car.
  Heading back to Disneyland.
  

• Page Number: 78
  

  Still some bad glares on the windows.
  Does this really help to sell the merchandise?? I am not a marketing person but it does not make me want to go inside and buy something more than the previous window without the added items.
  The Main Street crowd waiting for Soundsational at 6:30.
  

• Page Number: 79
  

  The parade making its way through the hub.
  Pizza Port is under wraps for some work.
  

• Page Number: 80
  

  Ghost Galaxy has returned.
  

• Page Number: 81
  

  Scot Bruce/Elvis was at Tomorrowland Terrace.
  Waits around 7:45pm
  Went to visit the Mansion, posted 50 minutes, actually just under 30.
  

• Page Number: 82
  

  Sparkys grave.
  Some random shots from inside, no real changes jumped out to me except the new gingerbread house in the ballroom.
  

• Page Number: 83
  

• Page Number: 84
  

  The new house is very tall and hard to capture a decent photo of on a first pass by...
  

• Page Number: 85
  

• Page Number: 86
  

  The new Halloween Cups.
  

• Page Number: 87
  

  Back to Main Street to wait for Remember.
  

• Page Number: 88
  

  Nothing too new or exciting jumped out during Remember.
  

• Page Number: 89
  

  On the way out I was able to see the tram stop billboards
  

• Page Number: 90
  

  The current guidemaps and time guides.
  

• Page Number: 91
  

  The Pirates League flyer.
