PHOTO REPORT: Disneyland Resort (11/2/21): A Flood of Holiday Merchandise and Decorations

Hey there, hi there, ho there! We’re back for another beautiful day at Disneyland to walk off all the Halloween candy we just had. So join us as we leave the goblins and ghoulies of last Halloween and move headlong into Christmas all over the parks in this particularly large photo report.

We found a lot of NEW at the parks today as they transition between themes. These Holiday banners on the tram walkway (soon to be tram driveway again in 2022) are all about the celebration to come.
