Disneyland
Tinkerbell half marathon

\\n

There were 17,300 registered runners over the entire weekend; 12,000 of which ran in Sunday\\u2019s half marathon. The race was targeted, but not limited to, women and the numbers certainly reflected it. Of the 12,000 runners, 11,082 of them were women! The Disneyland Resort traditionally holds a half marathon in the late summer but the addition of this new winter half marathon takes advantage of a traditionally slower time at the resort. The result is an influx in tourism dollars to the resort area and hotels to the tune of an estimated $14 million dollars!

\\u201cOne of my favorite moments comes when the king and queen from \\u201cTangled\\u201d appear on a balcony, lifting a single lantern to the sky for their missing daughter. It\\u2019s soon joined by hundreds of others, creating a magical sight sure to draw \\u201coohs\\u201d and \\u201cahhs\\u201d from the crowd. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it! Of course, the most heart-warming part of any segment of \\u201cThe Magic, The Memories and You!\\u201d is the images of our guests, captured by Disney PhotoPass photographers during the day and incorporated into the show each night. \\u201c

The Matterhorn continues to disappear behind scaffolding as its six-month refurbishment gets underway. In fact I saw some reports that the interior of the queue has been demolished. The roof remains however.

\\n

Haunted Mansion has reopened as It\\u2019s a Small World closes.

\\n

Disneyland celebrated the Lunar New Year over the past few weeks. This year this did it in the Small World Mall. Last year it was part of the Family Fun Weekends. They added some decorations and food items as well. They have a Mulan and Mushu meet and greet. As well as some other Disney characters in Asian garb.

Getting ready fro Mardi Gras

\\n

There is a new video inside the waiting area for The Enchanted Tiki Room. I actually haven\'t watched the video in years. But I remember it being all 70\\u2019s. It\\u2019s still a video that\\u2019s about Dole but from what I hear it\\u2019s kinda bad.

Tom Cruise Visits DL

DCA
Part of the Soarin over California sign is missing.

\\n

In Carlsland a new sign popped up to the right of the courthouse that says, \\u201cFastPass Distribution\\u201d so it\\u2019s safe to say the RRR will have fastpass!

\\n

They also started playing around with the neon lighting over at Carsland as well as lighting the Cadillac Range. It has sort of a purpleish look to them.

\\n

I must admit seeing the photos I\\u2019m a little concerned. My first knee-jerk reaction is that the main drag looks very busy. There is this row of streetlights and it looks... busy. Maybe too much. Hard to tell.

\\n

Something I didn\\u2019t notice last week was that Red Wood Creek Challenge Trail is closed. Looks like the are referbing in and it is set to reopen in March.
