Five Days Before Christmas at the Disneyland Resort

What a treat that it didn't rain today while I visited the Disneyland Resort, as it had rained throughout the late morning / early afternoon the previous day

With the idea that the rain would deter people to visit today, it didn't seem that bad with the crowds. Maybe with the lower tiered Annual Passes blocked out, that helped

Some people fear that the submarine voyage will not return.
But from what I have heard, it will indeed return after its refurbishment.  There is just a lot that needs to be done and its gonna take quite some time to do it
