Today at Disneyland: Thanksgiving Eve 2014

It's been our family tradition for many years now to spend part of Thanksgiving Eve at the Disneyland Resort. We enjoyed several hours there today with our oldest and youngest children -- the other two are spending Thanksgiving away at college out of state but will be home for Christmas break in a couple more weeks.

The Jingle Cruise, which was modestly decorated in 2013, went the other direction this year with a veritable explosion of Christmas all over the ride -- the theme being that a shipment of Christmas treats went missing and the jungle animals got into it!

We strolled around Toon Town looking at the colorful, cartoony decorations...

...and of course enjoyed the holiday overlay on It's a Small World.

The Feliz Navidad sign in Small World was changed this year:

We splurged on lunch at Big Thunder Ranch BBQ, including dessert!

And before we left we had the chance to say hello to Minnie Mouse:

There was great news today about a new partnership between Disney and Turner Classic Movies! I'll be covering that in a separate post in the near future.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
