- Entered my 10th Disney Park just before 6pm local time. Ahead of me the Train Station and beyond it Main Street USA.
- A closer look at the Train Station which is currently closed for renovation.
- Looking to my left a gift shop and the exit.
- Oops the 5:30 parade was in Town Square. timing is everything!
- One quick picture before moving on. I wanted to see a couple of attractions before they closed for renovation tomorrow so no time for the parade today.
- The Liberty Arcade. The park has two arcades/enclosed walkways that parallel Main Street USA. These allow for easy travel during crowded times, like right now with the parade on the street.
- The detail in the arcades is great. I will double back on later days for more pictures.
- My first view of Sleeping Beauty Castle. It is more impressive than the other castles to me.
- Halloween kicks off in a couple of days but there are already decorations up throughout the park.
- Looking to the right as I passed over the draw bridge.
- As you enter Fantasyland a large photo spot for Maleficent has been set up.
- Fantasyland trashcans..
- Looking up at Sleeping Beauty Castle as I walked further into Fantasyland.
- The brambles have a dragon head/shape in them.
- The Carrousel
- The Teacups
- Some snacks at one of the stores.
- My destination.. the storybook land area. Both attractions were set to close for several weeks of renovation and this was my one and only shot at experiencing them.
- A large tree as you enter the area
- A sign with the two attractions that in the area.
- You pass under the Disneyland Railroad track.
- First you see Le Pays des Contes de Fees the storybook land canal boats.
- No wait this evening, it was just after 6pm.
- A preview of what is to come as you enter the queue.
- The queue is rather large and not in use right now.
- On the hill is Casey Jr.
- The boats here feature three rows and no live narration.
- Casey Jr. making his way around the track.
- A large storybook at the load/unload area.
- It is a continuous load from a rotating platform (just like Grizzly River Run or Kali River Rapids in the states)
- Safety warnings.
- Most signage was in French and English.
- First up Snow White and Tangled.
- Spotted Dopey at the mine.
- Next up Hansel & Gretel
- The windmill from the Old Mill
- The tower from Tangled
- The Little Mermaid
- The Beasts Castle
- Pierre et le Loup (really surprised this has not been made into Frozen)
- Night on Bald Mountain
- The Cave of Wonders from Aladdin
- Some large trees in the area.
- Spotted Abu inside the cave.
- The Sword in the Stone
- Beauty and the Beast
- Belle by the fountain.

- A point of view video of my first cruise through.
- The trashcans in the area
- Next up Casey Jr. Le Petit Train Du Cirque
- Again no wait.
- A train waiting to come into the station. No operator onboard here like in Anaheim.
- The station features load gates and the trains bench seating with safety bars at each row.
- Waiting to be dispatched.
- Just like Anaheim the train circles the canals.
- That crossing is for the Disneyland Railroad. Too bad it is closed my entire trip.
- Unfortunately the Casey Jr track looks like a coaster instead of train tracks.
- Here is a point of view video of my Casey Jr Experience.
- The lines were even shorter when I exited so I opted to give each another pass.
- First up an encore of boats
- This is the full line.. maybe a dozen guests.
- Onboard for round two.
- The old hag in front of the dwarfs cottage.
- Casey Jr.
- Belle in her village.
- A better view of the seating configuration
- Next up a second trip on Casey Jr.
- My favorite type of queue.. an empty one.
- The station really shows why the renovation is needed and probably late in coming.
- A closer look.
- Time to exit the area and explore the park a bit before Disney Dreams.
- Popcorn cart pricing.
- One last look back.
