Ed Grier, President of the Disneyland Resort, stepped down on Friday.  His sudden announcement last week, followed the recent trend of three-year Disneyland Resort Presidents.  But business carried on as usual at the resort with construction at a fever pitch, holiday lights are going up for Christmas, new stores opening in Downtown Disney, and Halloween packed in record crowds. Join us for photos and news from around the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.

Fantasmic! finally premiered its new dragon and although she didn't initially set the night "ablaze" as promised, she was fixed by her second performance and is currently delighting crowds.  The dragon was nearly eclipsed by the news that Disney bought Marvel Comics, and everyone wants to know what this will mean for the Disney parks and for Universal's parks which already use Marvel characters in some of their locations.   This week promises even more breaking news as D23 launches their very first fan Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center next to Disneyland. And as always, the Dateline Disneyland update is packed with news and photos from around the Disneyland resort.  So get ready to see what's up with hotel and theme park construction, that new building going up in Fantasyland, the new restaurant in California Adventure, Halloween Time, and much, much more.

Lots of news today from the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim California and beyond.  Disneyland begins charging for tomatoes on burgers at Hungry Bear restaurant (that McDonalds on Harbor Blvd. is looking better and better).   The parks are packed, resulting in remote lot parking.  The Buzz Lightyear lot, located in the former strawberry fields, has been in regular use this week and is slated for a surface expansion.  Fantasmic has been extended through the end of the year, but will we ever see the dragon?  Plus, park news, construction photos from around the resort, and tips regarding when it will be busy.
