The @Disneyland Monorail resumed nighttime operations today — the first day since the start of the pandemic that it has operated past 7 p.m. The attraction’s hours are finally the same as the park’s!

A major repainting project has begun on all three of the @Disneyland Hotel towers. It looks like the royal blue and tan color scheme is being replaced with a sky blue and off-white color scheme — perhaps to better complement the new DVC tower under construction?

Shocking “KILL PEDOS” graffiti has popped up along a @Disneyland Resort wall facing Walnut Street — possibly linked to the far-right protests last month on Harbor Blvd. The concrete wall surrounds the main #DowntownDisney parking lot.

Magic Key stickers already have started popping up across #DowntownDisney to signify locations that will give keyholder discounts starting tomorrow. Best of all, though? The stickers are in the unmistakable shape of the @Disneyland “Here you leave today” entrance plaque!

Vertical construction on the #DisneylandHotel’s new #DVC tower has begun with installation of a row of metal pilings (peeking out over the top of a construction fence) near the Goofy’s Kitchen/Conference Center building. Nearby, a construction crew grades and preps the site.

A privacy screen has been installed along the green fence that runs the length of the @Disneyland tram route, further insulating guests from the “outside world” (of Disneyland Drive) as they traverse the half-mile tram route on foot.

The @Disneyland Resort marching band is coming back! I spotted the band practicing in full formation tonight on an access road that runs behind Cars Land, effectively confirming the imminent return of live music to the parks. So amazing to see — and HEAR — them again! Listen in:
