The Disneyland Sign/Marquee has always been one of my favorite Park icons ever since my youth. A visit inside Disneyland was at best, a once a year occurrence, but driving on Harbor Blvd past the sign was a much more frequent happening. I posted the history of the sign in my July and August posts, my way of visiting the sign now that I live 1000 miles away.
In September, I was able to make the trek to Anaheim, and I made a point of stopping by the pedestrian sign that I have been posting on my blog... only to find it behind construction barricades.
Thanks to the web, I have found new pictures of the sign, fresh with a new coat of paint and some minor changes, ready to welcome the upcoming holidays and the major upgrades at California Adventure in 2012.
I have updated the original blog post
HERE. However, here is a preview of the new look:

The confetti and balloons are gone. The support posts are now painted green for the first time, matching the existing light posts in the area. A blue and white line flows along the entire banner "ribbon" to match the type coloring. This is a pretty boring look, but I think it is more appropriate for Disneyland than the previous Disney Parks hoopla.
Wow! You're fast...that picture just posted yesterday! Thanks for keeping everyone in the loop as soon as possible! :)
