Disneyland holiday celebrations are in full swing and so are the crowds.

How busy is Thanksgiving weekend at Disneyland, you ask?  Thanksgiving weekend is typically a busy time of the year to visit.  Blackout dates apply to all of the passes below Premium for Thursday-Thanksgiving, Friday and Saturday (11/26 - 11/28).  Monday through Wednesday of this week have see huge turnouts as the APers try to get in the holiday magic during this time of the year.  Especially a day like today, the day before Thanksgiving.  On the other hand, this means quite manageable crowds the next three days as all the local annual passholders are blocked.  Just one more reason to go for the Premium upgrade.

Obama's first political pardon! Found at Disneyland.

President Obama has given a pardon to one of the annual turkey's for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Named Pecan, this lucky turkey is now living at Big Thunder Ranch at Disneyland. A special ceremony was held and the turkey was then brought from the White House to Disneyland to live out the rest of his fine feathered days.
