Conner Purzycki’s 9/24/10 – 9/26/10 DLR Photo Report
I was at the Disneyland Resort this past weekend for D23’s Great Scavenger hunt, but also captured many newsworthy photos. This is a long one so get comfortable and get scrolling…

An ODV cart has been parked in the main queue area, smart thinking
Not much has changed this year besides new green lighting in the loading area

Most of it is still covered
