Oh goodness! You guys are all so sweet - what kind words and thoughts!
I'm here! When I got home last night, for some reason I thought to post a summary of some things in my TR - which I should have copied and pasted to this thread (it would make sense, as this is the Christmas Superthread!) and yet I didn't. I conked out!
Right now I am in the process of loading some things to Photobucket so I should be able to start posting soon!
StyledSugar - I looked for the mini-trees and found an abundance of them in World of Disney (for the $29.95 price that I think TK was telling us about not long ago).
julieheyer - Those prices and the info about the Jamboree that you received from 10stime are totally accurate.
Heather - I saw characters in holiday gear in both Town Square and at the Jingle Jangle Jamboree. Santa Goofy was at the Jamboree. Goofy in a Winter sweater was in Town Square. Woody, Jessie, reindeer Pluto and Mickey were at the Jamboree. Minnie, Mickey, Pluto, Goofy, Queen of Hearts and the White Rabbit were in Town Square. I also saw Cruella there.
The big highlight of the Jamboree is that two of the very rare Country Bear Jamboree characters (including Big Al) are part of the Billy Hill show and they stick around for a few minutes to take photos
Here is what I neglected to post here last night:
Peppermint ice cream is back at Gibson Girl.
Also - there are free peppermint bark samples at Ghirardelli, but no special holiday sundaes or beverages there. (You have to get the holiday beverages in one of the Disney-specific places)
There's a mini-gingerbread Mater sculpture in Flo's! Sooooo cute!
There are gingerbread cone houses in the "office" of the Cozy Cone Motel! Soooooo cute! Look closely for them!
The Cars Land decorations are AMAZING - soooooo detailed, so thorough, so off-kilter.....soooo many new trees for Tree Quest between CL and BVS (hear that, Bret? You've got your work cut out for you!). Trees of all kinds - trees made of cones, trees made of tires, trees made of car parts, trees made of oil cans, trees galore.
Cars Land is playing holiday music - but it's done in the style that you'd expect from Cars Land - wacky songs and kind of '50s/'60s-inspired songs (the Stray Cats and things like that)
Buena Vista Street plays vintage holiday music to fit the theme.
There are some awesome holiday window displays in the shops on BVS. The BVS tree is gorgeous (but I missed seeing the bell ringers).
I did not have time for the Mad T Party, unfortunately.
I saw nothing about the candy cane schedules anywhere, in Candy Palace or in Trolley Treats.
Even though the reindeer are gone from the Reindeer Round-Up, the reindeer motif/decor lives on at the Jingle Jangle Jamboree.
I saw no "Christmas Village" at the DTD skating rink. I saw two "chalets" where you could rent skates and head gear, but I didn't see treats or merchandise. What kind of Christmas Village is that?
Earl of Sandwich was very crowded at night.
There were no decorations up at any of the hotels, at all. One of the PPH guys told me that the GCH gets decorated first, then the DLH gets decorated next, then the PPH last, but everything is decorated by the week following Thanksgiving.
DTD does not have a Christmas tree because the ice rink is taking the space where it would go.
I saw many, many PhotoPass people out in full force today. They were everywhere. There were 3 of them posted around the BVS tree. There was one at the Storytellers statue. There were several in Cars Land (including in front of Flo's at night). They are all over the place - no one can complain that the PhotoPass people are lacking this holiday season.
There are so many gorgeous Mickey-shaped ornaments and interested resin 'ears' sculpture/ornaments. I was in merchandise overload. There are also some really nice vintage-ish stockings.
Okay...back to Photobucket now!
