2016 January Check-in Thread

We'll be there in two weeks. Watching the weather report, UGH, I sure hope it changes. Rain is one thing, Thunderstorms and lightning are another.

Me too! My niece and I are taking a quick weekend trip down and driving so I am hoping for little to no rain! At least when I am driving for 6 hours!
 
We were going to come on the 7th, but we canceled to go in December instead. Now I am itching to come again, so we have tentative plans to go on the 30th-31st! Flights and hotels are cheap, so I at least booked the hotel for now.

We got back from our trip a few days ago! It was full of many wonderful, magical and happy moments, and also some sad and stressful ones. My son was sick our first weekend there - not feeling well, just not himself. On the third day, he seemed to be feeling better, but he was still pretty unhappy, and I started to realize that it wasn't just his cold, but he was also likely affected by the noise, crowds, etc. (he has some special needs). I went to City Hall to ask for a stroller as a wheelchair tag, and the very kind Cast Member convinced me to get a DAS, too. It helped so much. But then on Monday, he woke up not able to walk properly! We were baffled - blister, tired legs, stretched muscles? We rented a stroller again, thinking it would go away, but it didn't, so I ended up having to take him to the Children's Hospital Emergency. We were there until midnight - it was so busy - and the doctors did lots of tests and eventually diagnosed him with myositis - an inflammation of his leg muscles due to an earlier virus. They said he would have trouble walking for the next three days. My poor boy - this trip was supposed to be a celebration of his long-awaited adoption! We ended up rented a wheelchair (I couldn't carry him all the way from the hotel to the stroller rental booth at Disneyland), which he used the rest of the trip. But we all made the best of it, and we went on lots of rides, and met lots of characters (Cinderella especially was super sweet to him), saw the fireworks, Fantasmic! before it closed, all the parades...lots of memories that will last forever. I wish it wasn't over...
 
Question for the group. Are there walls up for the new construction? If so where?

I am having flashbacks to last years big wall right after Haunted Mansion. I am so excited to do pooh, splash mountain and the pooh store.

I was just wondering his same thing! We arrive there on Tuesday, and now that the Star Wars run is over Id love some Intel on what ROA and the railroad looks like now post closings!!!
 
walls went up between fantasyland and big thunder after the SW half - guess they put them up Sunday night!
now you need to walk thru the hub or cut thru the royal theatre area to get to frontierland from fantasyland!

I'm trying to picture that - so around the Thunder ranch area?

Any intel about the RoA banks and if they've been drained (or photos/map) would be welcome too! :D
 
I just saw pictures yesterday and I'm trying to remember where??? If I find them I will post them here. The path is blocked off and they put up walls around Hungry Bear.
 
Found them...But Photobucket it down right now. I will post them when it comes back up!!
