Contrary to some reports I’ve heard on “reputable” websites, New Years Day was in fact very crowded! No where near the levels of New Years Eve, but still crowded indeed.

The line for Haunted Mansion Holiday spread all the way towards the New Orleans Square Railroad Station.

3160820212 10563e9630

One of my favorite pieces of scenery along the Rivers of America, an “abandoned” Mine Train that used to run through Nature’s Wonderland.

3160837986 3c0a173dd7

The line was also chaos outside Pirates of the Caribbean, causing a massive traffic jam in that area of the park.

3160844680 dfaacf3cbf

I just want to share a few of my better shots that I got on Pirates of the Caribbean.

You know, a lot of online Disney fans were complaining about the Courtyard of Angels being turned into a store, well guess what? It ain’t one anymore (at least it wasn’t yesterday)!

3160856614 9154319f8f

The last we’ll see of Haunted Mansion Holiday until either late 2009, or late 2010.

The Bolt Pre-parade now runs in front of both performances of A Christmas Fantasy instead of the Narnia Pre-parade, due to Disney pulling out of the third Narnia film.

3160047187 fa4ae6c55d

They’ve completely sold out of the 3″ figures. According to the Cast Member, they won’t have any more in until the end of January!

3160049815 851eff448e

And now a few shots of A Christmas Fantasy. Most likely the last we’ll see of a “real” parade until it returns in November 2009.

It’s amazing how close Space Mountain actually is to Main Street.

The area around the DCA Christmas Tree looks really great at night.

The new billboard that replaced the Burger Invasion one.

3160947246 bebf25e001

The weird thing is that it only remotely looks like Paradise Pier.

3160948340 dbf49fbb11

3160114337 95069b7a29

Toy Story Midway Mania had a long, slow moving line last night. But it still looks beautiful!

3160198089 b76bd9610b

Now for some shots of Disney’s Electrical Parade, probably the last time we’ll see it in it’s current form.

Year of a Million Dreams banners are still up all through-out DCA.

3160204007 8f253cea76

I rushed back over to Disneyland to see Believe in Holiday Magic. Unfortunately, the fog was so thick, that you couldn’t see a good majority of the fireworks, much like with New Years Eve.

3161039166 ded9c98e62

And we’ll end off this photo report with a couple of pin shots. These are the new Celebrate Everyday! pins.

3160204725 acee7d363a

These pins were never announced to come out, so I grabbed them as soon as I saw them. This could possibly be DCA’s new logo.

That’ll do it for this photo report. As always, stay tuned to our Image Galleries for bigger versions of these photos, & many more! And don’t forget to check out Chuck’s & Myrna’s New Years Eve photo reports!
