Day 2 November 16, 2012 Part 9
On the last update, we just rode Its a Small World Holiday. It is always fun to ride IASWH during the Holiday season at DL. After getting of IASWH, it was time to look for more Holiday decorations around DL.
We left off just getting off Its a Small World Holiday and now we are on our way over to our next destination which was the Jingle Jangle Jamboree at the backside of Frontierland which is right by Big Thunder Ranch.
AT Fantasyland where we were heading on the backside, it was not that busy where rides like Dumbo was at 20 minutes wait which was a little long that morning.
After passing through FL, we were now on the backside of Frontierland right at Big Thunder Ranch. During the Holiday season, BTR is decorated with the Holiday decorations which are so amazing. They decorate everything around the area including Big Thunder Ranch BBQ. While we were in the area, I looked for any Holiday decorations for the quests.
When we were about to enter BTR, there was the Jingle Jungle Jamboree sign on top of the sign which is new to the Holiday season.
Wreaths around the BTR BBQ area
While we were heading on over to JJJ, there is a lot of decorations on the way which the wagons are decorated.
Over on the left hand side which is the area where they have the Reindeer Round-Up in the past and it looks so empty in that area while most of the Holiday decorations are still up. I was surprised to see the area not so busy like it has been. But this is the first time in a long time that the Reindeer Round-Up is empty. Also they didnt bring back the reindeers in the pen area which was sad to see.
The two of us now entered JJJ. My first impression of JJJ is that it in the back of the Festival Arena where they have special events at DL. This time it is the place where they have games, Disney characters, crafts and entertainment.
Hours of Operation of JJJ
There were a lot of Christmas decorations around the area and I started taking a lot of pictures as much as I can. My DA didnt want to stay too long in the Festival Arena so I had to take as many pics as I can. I was getting as many trees, wreaths, garlands, etc. for the quests.
There was an event going on stage but we didnt stay too long to see it.
Also around the area, there were the Country Bears which I havent seen them in a long time. It was neat to be able to see the Country Bears at JJJ character meet & greet area.
There were a lot of different games at Reindeer Games which is standard games that you do outside.
We didnt stay too long in JJJ so we head on out and over to the cottage where thee Reindeer Round-Up used to be during the Holiday season.
My first impression of JJJ is that it is no where near Reindeer Round-Up during the Holiday season. Even though it is a good idea to use the Festival Arena for JJJJ but I dont like changes a lot and I did miss Reindeer Round-Up this time of the season.
Around the cottage building still have its Holiday decorations which is nice to see during the Holiday season.
Thats it for this post and I will have more from DL.
