September 26, 2012 - Cooler Fall day brings the crowds to the Disneyland Resort, and more!

The cooler weather today brought the crowds to the Disneyland Resort, prompting them to extend the hours of both parks. Also, Halloween Time is now in full swing with the Halloween Carnival at Festival Arena getting a few more decorations, while gearing up for the first of Mickey's Halloween Parties this Friday.

We also take a look at the ongoing refurbishments around Disneyland.
