Hi everyone! Just got back from another exciting afternoon at DLR last night, and I have a few pictures to share with you, especially since I forgot the camera last time.
Note: I would like to apologize in advance for bad pictures. The weather was very hit and miss yesterday, and my camera was having some issues. There will be some blury pictures, especially in the DCA preview Center.
Now, onto the main event
11/2:
First off, Halloween pictures. Even though Halloween had already passed, the holiday was still poppin all over the resort.
DCA's Candy Corn Acres:
The Front Entrance Looking good.
Golden Gate Bridge got a nice decoration string
The Candy Corn Acre's Central Plaza area looked very good. I really like the touch they added on top of the Vendor carts here.
A new Soda Cup. The Coffee cup has a similar design:
Onto Disneyland. The main Entrance looked very good.
Main Street was very pleasant, but seemed a bit toned down from when I came in early October. Probably trying to get a head start on taking decorations down.
The Main Pumpkin in the Town SquareL
These flower arrangements looked beautiful, perfect for fall.
I thought City Hall looked the best decorated.
Betcha didn't think of these Jack-o-Lantern Designs!
The Castle had already been stripped of its Halloween, and signs of Christmas had fallen onto the spires. Taking from last year, this is only phase one of the Christmas Castle transformation, but it sure does look good.
Now, My personal Holiday Favorite at Disneyland: Haunted Mansion Holiday!!!
The Exterior Facade. All of these pictures are taken from outside of the Fenced off queue.
The Fastpass is open during HMH.
We then hopped in line and got these pictures.

I love this contrast.
I attempted to get some pictures inside the ride, but light sources and a wiggy camera prevented me from getting any good pictures except for this one:
Overall, still the same great ride it always has been.
Next is the Frontierland "Dia De Los Muertos" Display. I thought this Display looked very cool.
Mariachi Anyone?
I thought these "Papel Picados" were cool. We made them last year in my Spaish class.
New Orleans Square had some life of Christmas already. I love the Mardi Gras spin the put on it.
Neener neener neener!
It's A Small World's facade is totally revealed, waiting for its late November reopening. What surprises me is there are no signs of Christmas decor on the facade yet.
The "Small world Toy Store" Reopened.
This building inside looks very neat
Across the "road" from ISAW, the small Girft shop was closed for refurb. This circular building sells pins, hats, and other trinkets, similar to the Newstand on Main Street.
In Fantasyland, the walkway from Main Street's Plaza Gardens to Fantasyland was boarded up on both sides. You can still enter "Once Upon a Time" and get through there.
That's it for Disneyland!
DCA:
DCA is going through some major changes right now. First, and foremost, is the opening of the "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" Pep Ralley Parade.
+
Next is the Construction on the new DVC addition onto the Grand Californian Hotel.
The Golden Dreams Building is standing empty.
The Sun Wheel went into "Mickey's Fun Wheel" Overhaul. The Cars were removed and the area was borded up.
+
And last, but not least, is the opening of the new DCA Preview Center. Please remeber the pictures in here are awfuly blurry, thanks to a no flash rule.
On the walkway to the building were some signs that described the rehaul DCA is recieving.
