Disneyland Update Christmas-ween
Happy Dia De Los Muertos folks. Andy Castro is on vacation this week, so I took a quick trip to the Disneyland Resort this past Saturday to fill you in on the latest goings on. These photos were taken on Halloween, but the signs of Christmas are everywhere.

Disney Parks News and Reports

This week we are discussing your favorite parade at the Disneyland Resort.  We are also wondering if another major attraction will be closed for refurbishment, for most of next year. ~ Aladdin

Launch Bay Signage now up!
The new signage for the old Innoventions building is being installed, as new meet and greet locations and a possible Star Wars preview area is preparing to open later this month!

What is your all time favorite parade at the resort
SoCal ThemeParks asks what your favorite parade has been at the Disneyland Resort. Is it a day time or night time parade? Is it one that was themed after just one movie, or was did it feature several movies. Perhaps it was one that didn’t even feature a movie at all! If your favorite isn’t on the list, tell us what you favorite is, anyway!

Jungle Cruise Refurbishment
In addition to all the attractions already announced to be temporarily closed due to the Star Wars project in the back of Disneyland, another major attraction may be closed for most of next year.

MiceChat Disney News Roundup

Fab News: Disney’s Secret Society
I’m back from the MiceChat Walt Disney World Invasion. It was amazing, and I’m very, very sick. I’m actually writing this lying on my side. I didn’t get sick there, I had a small thing here, thought it would go away and ended up needing minor surgery, antibiotics and bed rest over there. So, I took it easy and cut way back on the plans and still had a fantastic time. I just looked like hell while I was having it.
