It was a soggy but great week to visit the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.  Cool temperatures and lots of rain washed away the crowds, but made for a unique opportunity for the adventurous.  Rain also makes a beautiful backdrop for theme park pictures, which we have an abundance for you today. In addition to wonderful Disneyland and California Adventure construction photos, there is also news of a brand new gourmet cupcake store in Downtown Disney and a new Disney store named D Street which will feature high-end fashion and Vinylmation. But, perhaps most exciting news is the new marquee for "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, " which signals the return of an old classic.  Join us for news, photos, and construction updates from the Disneyland Resort.

It was quite a week at the Disneyland Resort.  Christmas suddenly arrived and filming locations were set up throughout the park for the Disney Christmas day parade on ABC.  Lucky park guests were able to spot celebrities or even catch performances.  New Orleans Square saw the addition of not only its Christmas decorations, but a new meet and greet and river show themed to the Princess and the Frog as well.  California Adventure is also getting in the holiday spirit, but walls throughout Paradise Pier conceal much of the real magic which is being constructed just beyond our view.  It is unbelievable to think that they've managed to add even more equipment to the World of Color platform in the bay, but that's exactly what they've done.  Join us as we take a look at what's new and what's news at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.

Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort wrapped up last night; however, even as guests flooded into the park in record numbers to celebrate the spooky season, Christmas decorations were popping up in the stores and  the castle itself was blanketed in fake snow.  It was a collision of two holidays throughout the park, as if Haunted Mansion Holiday's story line had seeped out into the park itself. New Orleans Square and A Bug's Land are all decked out for the holidays and within the next couple of weeks, the parks will be completely transformed into a winter wonderland. Meanwhile, construction continues on the World of Color platform in Paradise Bay as the water level rises.  Construction, merchandise, hotel, and operational updates in today's Dateline Disneyland as well as dozens of beautiful photos of the resort.
