  A look down at Disneyland Drive from the parking structure. Traffic was backed up to the light at Magic Way. It was hard to see beyond that but guessing it was heavy all the way around to the Toy Story Lot.
  Looking back it stretched toward Ball Road. Looks like they had the garage entrance off Disneyland Drive closed or heavily restricted.
  Going into Downtown Disney was backed up to Magic Way

  And Magic Way to Disneyland Drive.
  I walked by the Disneyland Hotel and all the flags were at half-staff again to mark the events that occurred in CT last week.
  Walls still up to the left of the Fantasy Tower.

  Guess they decided it was not worth switching the fireworks poster this year. Magical is still up.
  Most of the Candlelight staging is cleaned up. Just some speaker/light towers remain. Guessing those will be gone by Saturday morning.

  The Train Station is back to normal operation.
  I thought this was bad show. Some tools left out in Town Square. You would think by this point of the afternoon someone would have noticed.

  Looking back down Main Street.
  

• Page Number: 21
  

  Last week I mentioned the Photospots will loose the Kodak logos for sure and not sure if the spots themselves will be removed. Here is the one in the hub.
  Not sure why the signage was twisted on the top.
  Moving on here is the one by the Matterhorn. There are seven in Disneyland and two in DCA.

  The Fantasyland Theater sign is out from behind the scaffolding and looks to be awaiting its new signage.

  The Oasis was open for pictures with Aladdin and Friends. I walked through and it was empty.
  At one point it was Aladdin, another Cast Member and I for a few minutes. What a nice change of pace compared to the crowded Adventureland walkways.
  Walked through the Jolly Holiday Bakery. The Holiday offerings there.

  Looks like there is another walkway to the left of where the old one was.. wonder if they are going to reconfigure the rest rooms.
  The tree lighting moment on Main Street USA. My first time seeing it this year, seems the same disappointing recording as last year.
  

• Page Number: 65
  

  Stuck around Main Street to see if there was a 5:15 Wintertime Enchantment, but there was not. Guess because of the 5:30 parade.
  Looking down Main Street.
  After dinner walked out by Small World.
  

• Page Number: 66

• Page Number: 81
  

  The ears do look good when grouped together. Wish I could have found a spot to get them in my pictures during the show. Wish there was an easy way to carry mind and I could stand in the section...maybe someday if the run gets extended.
  I found a spot down near Disneyana for the fireworks.
  Time for some snow to close out my evening.
