The new Floral Mickey is looking good (the plants needed a couple of weeks to bloom and become the correct color)

Wires have been placed over Main Street, the Garland should be up in a day or two. (They had to wait until the last Parade of Dreams performance before placing them up).

The Castle has more Christmas Decorations on it now. (They had to wait until the Christmas Parade filming was completed).

Another Radio set-up in the Hub to help promote the Christmas stuff at the park.

Sub Lagoon and Matterhorn work

DCA Christmas decorations

Midway Mania work, including more destruction to the old Restaurant facades, and a look from Screamin'. (Interesting to note, Disney has removed the construction sign that said "Toy Story Midway Mania" from the area near the exit to the Timon Lot on Disneyland Drive.)

The Grand Californian Lobby is getting the replacement carpet installed. (The original was damaged in a fire last year).

And from Sunday, November 12th

Looking good.

I found this new video shot on Sat. night on youtube, I was standing behind the guy who was shooting this video. As you can see from the video, many new effects have been added to the show.

I got a chance to see a wedding in front of the castle. I was rude and took a few pictures. They spared no expense.

I also took a lot of pictures of the Christmas decorations during the day. Hopefully I'll get some more tonight with all the lights.

I also have some pictures of the Characters in their holiday outfits.

Hi all - am wondering if someone can get a picture of something for me.

The 'Noel' and 'Ho, ho, ho' spider webs are back up in Haunted Mansion Holiday, hanging over the two statues that appear to be following you when you walk through the cue after the changing paintings. I saw them yesterday, but didn't have my camera - can anyone get a shot of these and post it?

Thanks and Happy Thankgiving!

[DangerMouse]

WooHoo! I absolutely LIVE for this man's photos. DaddyB, thank you for making me misty eyed just looking at pictures of my favorite place on earth!
