Tim Alcoser was at the Disneyland Resort a few days ago and got some pictures of some newsworthy items around Disneyland Park.
While we could not travel all the way to Disneyland Paris, we found many places around WDW to take pictures of the DLP themed Park 10 series.

From Shawn Slater of Disney Parks Blog:
There’s something new this Halloween Time at Disneyland park, and it’s happening over at the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree in Frontierland. That’s where you’ll find a magical Halloween Carnival filled with fun for the whole family, with favorite Disney characters in Halloween costumes, special Halloween entertainment, amazing pumpkin carvers, activities, holiday merchandise, yummy treats and even the Disney Villains!
You can make your own Halloween mask at the craft station, and then join Mickey Mouse and his pals in a “Mask-Parade.” Try your hand at carnival games, like tossing rings on a witch’s hat or spinning the Crystal Ball Fortune Wheel to seek your own happy Halloween fortune. Everyone’s favorite Frontierland musical group joins the fun, too, as Billy Hill and the “Haunted” Hillbillies take the stage six times a day for a round of appropriately spooky tunes, all done in their inimitable bluegrass style.
The highlight of the Halloween Carnival is sure to be the Magic Cauldron Sideshow. Dare to venture into this tented area, and you may be asked to help cast a magic spell, conjuring a Disney Villain from his or her realm to meet your group before returning to worlds beyond. Disney Villains fans will want to visit more than once, since you never know which Disney Villain might be summoned each time. Sounds like a real “scream!”
The Halloween Carnival at Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree opens September 14 and continues most days through October 31. Please check the park Times Guide for daily operating schedules.
While we knew that the Finding Nemo wing of Disney’s Art of Animation Resort was opening May 31st, we really could only guess when the other wings might open. Well, we now have the official dates:
Guests can begin booking all of these tomorrow, March 23rd.
Disney also released a second preview video for the resort a few weeks ago, now seems like a good time to share that with you:
The Agent P World Showcase Adventure recently opened up at Epcot. It is an interactive game for Phineas and Ferb fans of all ages to play. So of course, the Vinylmation version of the secret agent platypus wanted to check it out as well. While there, he took a tour around the world.
Disney released some b-roll of the Storybook Circus in New Fantasyland today, offering a wonderful, high definition look at this recent addition to the Magic Kingdom:
Tim was at The Disneyland Resort yesterday and grabbed some pictures of some newsworthy stuff so lets take a look…
