Disneyland Resort Pictures
The text list below contains the captions of all images in the set.
At the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure they are working on the elevator shaft exterior and the paneling for the stair well this afternoon.
The stage is just about set for the annual Candlelight Ceremony at Disneyland this weekend. Hopefully the weather holds and it does not get rained out.
Main Street USA this afternoon
Tomorrowland entrance from the hub. The covers on the scaffolding were rolled up.
Not a lot of visible progress.
The Dapper Dans of Disneyland performing a Holiday set on Main Street USA.

Today was a candy cane day at Candy Palace. There was a rack of shirts near the register. They were not making any when I walked by.
The piano player is inside today at Refreshment corner due to the weather.
It had started to drizzle while I was watching the Dapper Dans.
French Dip sandwich for the holidays.
By the time I reached Frontierland it was raining pretty good.
Raining on Batuu too.
New Coca-Cola Droid carts have rolled out in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Here is one near the garage area.
The droid's head rotates.
Another cart located between the First Order area and the Cantina.
A panel in the stand by wait time screen is broken. Of course it is the most important one with the time. On Tuesday it was flickering.. guess it finally died.
There is not a lot of cover in Black Spire Outpost if you want to avoid rain.
Heading into the forest.. even less cover out here.
Soon this area will come alive.. a little over a month. Rise of the Resistance is scheduled to open Jan 17th.
Another Coke droid nearby.
There is also a Sprite Cart.. the CM said they were using that one for restocking.
Walking back toward the Marketplace
Found a table inside the Golden Horseshoe to dry out and enjoy the Showdown at the Golden Horseshoe show.
It was raining pretty good when we exited the Golden Horseshoe.
Main Street USA had a good crowd still considering the weather.
Disneyland wait times at 3:25pm
An announcement played saying A Christmas Fantasy Parade was cancelled due to the weather but Mickey's Holiday Cavalcade would be arriving shortly.
Found a spot for the Cavalcade (was not hard with the rain).
Video of Mickey's Holiday Cavalcade (Rainy Day Parade) at Disneyland.
The procession making its way toward me.
Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus in the lead car.
Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse in the second car.
The cars were followed by two Omnibuses.
The first included Woody and Jessie, Cinderella and Prince Charming plus an assortment of performers from the Christmas Fantasy Parade.
Woody, Jessie and a couple of green army men on the top level.
The cavalcade concludes with the second omnibus.
This one includes Chip and Dale, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.
I crossed the street and was able to see the cavalcade a second time as it rounded Town Square.
Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse
On this side of the first bus Goofy, Pluto and Lady Tremaine with Anastasia and Drizella.
The second bus had Donald Duck, Clarabelle and Ariel on this side.
Making my way across the Esplanade to Disney California Adventure.
In the Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe there was a stack of newspapers. They reminded me of the long gone Buena Vista Bugle that I used to enjoy. This one seemed focused on Cast Members.
Over the next few pages a closer look at it.
Disney California Adventure waits at 4:51pm
A check of the Avengers Campus project from the festival corridor.
Happened to walk through Carthay Circle as the tree lighting moment took place. It is a one minute recording now.. I really miss the little show they used to do with the bell ringers and characters.
The Avengers Campus work from Hollywood Land.
Passing by the Animation Building.
Elias & Co had a selection of Rise of the Resistance merchandise. This seemed odd for several reasons.. one the attraction is in the other park and two it does not open for over a month and three it really has nothing to do with Buena Vista Street.
Further into the store was a selection of other Star Wars merchandise.
Walking through Downtown Disney.
Working on the Asian Street Eats sign this evening.. maybe it is close to opening.
A look at the current directory board.
Noticed the new Asian Street Eats location is on the map.
Holiday Harmony performing on the small stage outside the former Rain Forest Cafe (where the parrots used to come out).
Some video clips of Holiday Harmony performing in Downtown Disney, this was from their 5:40pm set.
Wetzel's Pretzels had some lights up for the season.
Let it Glow Display in Downtown Disney
Returned to Disneyland just in time to see the 6:00pm Mickey's Holiday Cavalcade (once again the Christmas Fantasy Parade was cancelled. The rain had stopped but the ground was still wet).
A much heavier crowd along the parade route this evening since the rain stopped.
Santa & Mrs. Claus.
I walked over to Paradise Gardens to see if Viva Navidad would go.. arrived and all was quiet so it was going to be cancelled. They did not play any announcement until show time saying it was cancelled.
They were cleaning up the stage as the 7:00pm Phat Cat Swinger Concert was also cancelled. It had not rained in quite a while.
Walked out to Downtown Disney again.. a Let it Glow photo opportunity on the corner of the former ESPN Zone.
The Jazz Cartel performing this evening on the stage.
Back to the park. A Passholder Rise of the Resistance shirt for sale in Disneyana on Main Street.
Wintertime Enchantment was going on. Just projections though, no snow falling.
The bottom portion of the Christmas tree was not lit tonight.
Passed through Batuu to see if the new carts had any lights.. not really.
The Tea Cups have been closed all afternoon and looks like they will be all night too.
The Dance Party was delayed and may be cancelled. The cast was around and they were trying to try the floor and stage.
Kind of surprised they were not at least playing Christmas music with the DJ for those eating since the stage was set and he was there.
The aliens at Alien Pizza Planet have lights on them now.. they were dark for several weeks/months.
Work continues on the stairs for Space Mountain.
The Green Alien Macaron at Pizza Planet ($5.99)
Emporium Window near the restrooms
Back on Main Street USA for Believe in Holiday Magic
A closer look at the Christmas tree section that was not working.
The crowd at 9:11pm
At 9:35pm.. still waiting for the show.. they played an announcement saying it was delayed due to an unforeseen problem.
Smoke from Fantasmic drifting onto Main Street.
Almost 15 minutes late Believe in Holiday Magic Started.. but something was missing.. none of the large/high shells from the center launch point were used. So no Mickey tonight.
The smoke also lingered this evening.
A couple video clips from Believe in Holiday Magic showing the state of Fridays show. The second clip is the finale.
About midway into White Christmas the snow stopped falling. The song and projections continued.
Smoke from the show drifted toward the Mickey and Friends tram stop so you had to walk through it to exit.
