Disneyland Resort Pictures
The text list below contains the captions of all images in the set.
A quick look at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.. almost out of habit I still snap a picture.. after a couple years of watching it take shape.
The new tram plaza is just about finished. Most of the pavers are in and other finishing touches are being added.
Notice the light posts are in but no lights yet.
The planters have some plants and fencing now.
Working on sealing and finishing up the pavers.
Near the escalators some fresh concrete has been poured and they were working on it.
Pavers being installed around some of the trees still.
Interesting how they left out some of the accent colors
Assuming he is sealing the pavers with something.
What a finished tree looks like.
No pavers in this area yet. Guessing the fences will be reconfigured soon and this area plus the temporary/current walkways will be redone.
Framing for the exterior of the new elevator shaft is being installed.
A closer look starting at the bottom.
Scaffolding is inside the structure to facilitate the work.
Moving over to the Downtown Disney walkway. The landscaping is now in and the parking lot repaved and striped. This looks just about ready to open.
Some railing work left to do at the connection to the ramp.
The second sign is in place now on the bridge.
There are two on the other side too.
The stairs look to be almost complete.
The reverse angle of the tram stop. The tram way is really narrow right now. also notice no Halloween Time signs yet.

The Zephyr only had a handful of guests on it.
The hot items of the day seemed to be Popcorn buckets. The lines at many of the stands were long all day. The Pixar Pier stand had no line when I walked by at 1:30pm
The Oogie Bookie Head is the standard bucket and the Cauldron is the AP one which has a refill option of $1.50 through October 31st.
The Pixarmonic Orchestra only has a week left. They will be retiring next weekend. I had planned to watch a set but thanks to the Haunted Mansion Holiday going down during my return window I missed the set I had planned to see.
No wait at all for the non swing gondolas
So that meant I received my own.

Cast Members had squares to sit on since the pavement was so hot (it was in the 90s today and zero shade in the primary viewing area)

Finally time to use my Haunted Mansion Holiday FastPass
Stepped off the stretching room and stopped dead.. it was all backed up and not moving.
About 5 minutes later almost to the doom buggies
The ride stopped just before the ballroom scene.. another 10-20 feet and I would have a great view.. instead I watched this black wall for several minutes.
Moving again.. this year the gingerbread house celebrates the mansions 50th anniversary.
Here is the Disney Released photo of the house - The Haunted Mansion transforms into Haunted Mansion Holiday for Halloween Time and the holiday season, inspired by the Walt Disney Pictures classic Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.” As part of the transformation, a gingerbread house sits on the dining table in the Grand Hall as the scent of tasty gingerbread fills the air. This year, the nearly 10-foot tall centerpiece celebrates the Haunted Mansion's 50th anniversary, complete with 15 spirited Haunted Mansion residents made of gingerbread cookies.
