Yep, I believe you all were the ones I saw for Christmas Eve. But we're doing the tour Christmas Day. (You all have fun getting to go a day before us!!

) But does anyone have it scheduled for Christmas Day with us?

First time posting but just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all of the tips and photos, especially Sherry.

I will be at Disneyland for the first time over both Christmas and New Years and can't wait. This thread has provided so much info.

Holidays tour, J I too have a place on the Christmas Eve afternoon tour.

Thanks again everyone :-)

Just want to chime in that I booked the 3:15 Holiday Tour for NYE bright & early this morning! So excited!! Hopefully our tour guide has some Moses-like crowd parting skills!

Has anyone been on the tour this year with a mini review to share? I'm most interested in what (if anything) they do at DCA.

Hi! Our group of 5 will be on that tour as well.
I just noticed you're going the same dates as us from Canada too.

If all goes well with flights and getting there, my family will be on the 3:15 on NYE as well. Very excited!

Ordered the PhotoPass Plus last night... Wasn't sure if I should --- if the weather doesn't cooperate I may not get the bang for the buck but we're also doing a character dining dinner at Goofy's Kitchen and a character dining breakfast at PCH Grill so I'm thinking it'll pay for itself in the end even if the weather doesn't cooperate...

3 weeks from tomorrow we leave!!!

Just got back from 5 days in DLR. thank you all for the great info. We had an amazing time. I loved Jingle Jangle Jamboree. It really is a secret gem. Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Pluto were there in the special Christmas attire. No lines to talk with them. In fact, they wandered around for someone to talk to! Billy Hill and crew were great and they had special surprise guests (I will keep the secret!). Santa and mrs. Claus were there too of course. Woody and Jessie were at the entrance and there was a line to see them. No reindeer but there were a few lambs. My DD loved them! The barbeque area was closed, but there was still plenty to do and lots of picnic tables open. I loved that area!

We saw Duffy across from Ariel's Grotto this past week. He was wearing a santa suit.

Very cool! It's just me and my mum, but it's great to know most of our group will be DISers!

See you there!!

Did the first Holiday Tour today. It was awesome.

Right before the parade started, it looked like it was going to rain. It didn't start raining until about an hour after the 1:00 parade. By the way, the marshmallow treats at Trolley Treats were yummy. Going to go back and get some more of those.

Getting ready to go back to the park, and take some more pictures of the decorations at DCA.

Hi RayRay! Sounds like our tour is basically filled with DIS boards people. We were all the educated ones who knew to call right away and get this booked. It should be a great tour!

I keep wavering back and forth on the PhotoPass Plus order. Right now I am at a "no" but that could change. I just don't typically do many typical pictures on our trip and the idea of standing in line after rides at the ride photo booth sounds like no fun at all. I have only ever once bought a ride photo and that's cause my guys all made funny faces at once and it was just too perfect to pass up.

Just out of interest, when did the parade times etc information come out this year? I know that people were waiting weeks for the Halloween time calendar to show up. Was it the same with the Christmas one?

The basic hours came out 6 weeks before, but we didn't have any entertainment info until after Halloween... Which was 4 weeks til my December dates.
