What a mess. Here they spent all this time adding Dreams decor, only to take it down. Now they are going to have to rotate out all the Disney Parks and Disneyland Where Dreams Come True logos slapped all over everything. They need one unified logo for EVERYTHING; sort of like Disney Cruise Line, instead of logos for this and that.

Wow, that's really...stupid. Putting up all of these little banners and flags, just to tear 'em back down? Nice move. But whatever! I highly agree with MasterGracey! They're just going to be changed into Candy corn sooner or later!
[I prefer sooner ] Very Nice Trip Report! :] Nice pictures as well, are the swans gone? The awkwardly looking swans?

I'm so sad. Thank you for the update. Great pics as always. Makes it easier to live so far away.

I'm about ready to cry on the Gallery closing. Lord knows I love DL, but the Gallery added an element of fresh air when you needed it, a place to go and see art by Disney-famous people and the next generation of Imagineers, among others. In my life, I have been to three art galleries--LACMA, The Getty and the Disney Gallery.
Whoever was the genius that came up with this idea deserves to be the first to truly start demoltion there. If I were them, I wouldn't be able to go through with it....
Okay, angry rant is over.

Lovely pics MG. Just lovely. Good to see the dreamcloud vines of death are gone.

Just to get some things sorted out. Where Dreams Come True decor(pastel colored items/swirls/leafy-things) have all been removed in favor of Year of a Million Dreams decor(Blue/Silver stuff) which makes since after all it is the Year of a Million Dreams and Where Dreams Come True is the Disney Parks branding slogan. I have to say I like the YOAMD decor much better and looking forward to seeing the big mouse ears set up in the entry plaza.

Oh and MasterGracy those are some amazing Disney Gallery shots!!! I really hope its not leaving.

Wonderful pics MG! I actually like the toilet paper ad by the carousel... it looks like a victorian-esque advertisement- a small step in the right direction.

And, of course, what post in this thread wouldn't be complete w/o: Disney's choice to close the Gallery is just rediculous. I feel that they are taking out one of the elements of depth that makes the park... well, Disneyland, and not Six Flags. I will miss ye, Gallery!

I'm in the middle on the DCA cloud letters. I don't love them, but I don't hate them... kinda like the subs. *hides in the one place they will never look for him: Golden Dreams!* (But, honestly, that is how I feel about the subs. They could've done more with the money they spent, IMO)

Again, great pics!
