Even this close, we could hardly see the Disneyland Hotel for fog!

We arrived in Disneyland Park just after 8.30 and were directed through to the main gates instead of the right-hand side as they used to do. It was odd seeing Main Street station without its 25th anniversary decorations, but the Christmas ones which replaced them were superb.

And to add to the festivities, there was a huge Mickey-themed cake statue at the entrance. This represented Main Street, and was one of five put in place for Mickey’s 90th birthday celebrations.

So after a quick look at the cake, we went under the arch and emerged into a thoroughly festive Main Street USA. Ah, we’re home! I do get soppy about Main Street, I just love to watch it wake up in the morning.

There's a castle somewhere, I know there is...

Ah, there it is!

And there were some great character statues too.

Also there was an advent calendar, which apparently opened every day and had freebies for a lucky guest, but we were never there at the right time.
