Picking up the camera, Ginger headed over to Disneyland. Her first stop was Town Square, to see if the flag had been moved to half-staff. She was pleased to note that this had, indeed, been done.
Although the sun was shining brightly, there was a deafening silence, due to the fact that Main Street was deserted. Even the familiar music had been turned off. Ginger would later describe it as the happiest place on earth on the saddest day she could ever remember being there.
She moved up to the platform of Main Street Station and took some photos. She then took a short stroll down the street, and took a few more shots before preparing to head home. The newly built esplanade, normally filled with guests hurrying between the parks, as well as locals headed into Downtown Disney, was deserted.
Driving home through the unusually light traffic, Ginger noted the lighted street signs, today carrying the terse message, “Theme Parks are closed today.”
