After breakfast I had almost 90 minutes until the Park opened so spent some time walking the grounds. They are working on the elevator lobby of the ground/1st floor.
Heading outside.
I decided to go find the pool.

Plenty of large trees on the grounds.
Due to the walkway work by the lake temporary signage to direct you back to the lobby and around the construction.

There is an outdoor portion to the pool and it connects to the indoor part. The door was closed this chilly morning (it was in the 50s).

They keep the water at a warm temperature.. that is just over 82 degrees.

Guessing they have furniture out here during the warmer months.
time to head out. Approaching the lake.
Next stop Hotel New York since I still had 45 minutes until the park opened.

Halloween has taken over the stage in the Disney Village.
I thought about going to the Wild West Show then decided I would rather have the park time.
As you approach the parks they have these plaques in the ground showing the distances to other Disney parks. I think something like this would be interesting in the Esplanade at Disneyland in Anaheim. I thought it was fun to see how far I had traveled this year.. first up Tokyo.
Hong Kong..
Home.. such a long way but still closer than the Asia parks.
Walt Disney World is closest to Paris.
Thought it was interesting the Disneyland point directs you to Disneyland Park. this wraps up my morning walk.. only 20 minutes until park opening. The next section will feature my first look at the Walt Disney Studios park.
