Disneyland at Christmas/Holiday Season Superthread #5

[keahgirl8]

Hi Sherry

Just wanted to pop in with some news! I have just seen a sneak peak of the upcoming pins that will be released at Disneyland soon. I was very excited to see one of them is a Jingle Cruise 2015 pin! Now the way I figure it, they wouldn't have a Jingle Cruise pin if there wasn't going to be a Jingle Cruise?!

We have never experienced it this way and I'm very happy it will be returning this year!

I also noticed a Viva Navidad pin so it looks like it will be back and, something very interesting, a World of Color Winter Dreams pin. It has Olaf on it and clearly says Winter Dreams. So, if the pins are lining up with the actual offering ( which makes sense! ) then World of Color Celebrate may not be offered. I haven't seen either yet and am not too fussed about which one will be on for our trip.
I will, however, be devastated if we don't get to see Paint The Night!

Hooray! I hope you are right! I am getting so excited about this trip!

We adore the NBC overlay on Haunted Mansion - I won't take my kids on the regular one, but they think Jack Skellington is awesome. I hope they never take it away!

I finally got my computer to be willing to upload this week's photos...

 

[Sherry E]

Can anyone else see lorijohnhill's photos in the above post ^^^?? I saw them when she first posted them -- a lot of great Olaf's Snow Fest photos! -- and now they are not visible. I can't see her avatar either, and MY avatar changed on its own to the one I was using last year. Apparently there is something wonky going on, and certain links are turning up broken and photos/smilies are not appearing. I am going to go check the photos I posted for this week's theme (this past Monday) and see if they are visible.

I can see her pictures and avatar. I also see your normal avatar - the Disney sticker you created.

I cannot see her pictures or avatar. I see your avatar as your Disney side sticker with you waving and "Sherry" under it. Now I can't remember if that's the same one you've had recently or not! I noticed earlier when she posted the pics that I could not see them.

 

[siskaren]

I see her avatar, but not her pictures.

 

[Sherry E]

There is a thread about this over in the Technical forum, and apparently there is also one in the Community forum. Some people can see some things that others can't. I can only see my OLD avatar -- which is an ancient photo with Mickey Mouse from 1972 -- but you guys all see my purple avatar. I can't see anything of lorijohnhill's other than her name!

Even the little sun icon/smilie disappeared from my signature below (from what I can see).

I see her pictures and avatar. Lorijohnhill, cute Frozen fun family picture.

To everyone, I am glad you do enjoy the NBC on HM As I said I don't go on the ride either way so doesn't matter to me personally except glad that all of you enjoy the extras

It switches back and forth! I can see your current avatar right now in this post, but when you first posted about the avatar issue, I could see your older avatar in this thread. And when I go to back to the main forum page (at this moment), I can see your old avatar even though right now I see your new avatar in this thread. It's strange.

Very strange, indeed. And it appears to be happening to multiple people at random -- not everyone, but many people. I'm not so concerned about my avatar -- either one is fine for now -- but it's the photos that are troublesome. Some people's photos can't be viewed, and we won't know who is able to see what! sgrap and I cannot see lorijohnhill's photos, but everyone else can, for some reason. Arrrrgggggghhhhhh.

Can everyone see the photos in this post? - http://www.disboards.com/threads/di...i-november-13th.3358217/page-65#post-54377987. I can see them, but I don't know if they are visible to others.

Yes, I can see your photos in that post. Initially I couldn't see lorijohnhill's photos, but I can now.

 

[Sherry E]

Yes, I can see your photos in that post. Initially I couldn't see lorijohnhill's photos, but I can now.

And I'm the opposite -- initially I could see all of lorijohnhill's photos when she first posted them, and now I see nothing!

I can't see flyingdumbo127's avatar either!

I can see the the photos in the original post, but not on this page, and I see your original avatar.

 

[lorijohnhill]

I can see my avatar but not my posted pictures. Very strange indeed.

 

[Sherry E]

I can once again view lorijohnhill's avatar and Olaf's Snow Fest photos, but it sounds like the problem (whatever the issue is) is not totally fixed yet, as certain things are still appearing or disappearing, according to the thread in the tech forum.

I can also once again see my newer purple avatar. Last night I could see BigCheese's newer "D" avatar in this thread and in other threads, BUT I saw a different avatar for BigCheese when I looked at the main page of the forum and scanned down the list of threads. BigCheese started the Aladdin thread, so the avatar was right there on the left and it was a different one.

I can see her pic and avatar.
I really hope WOC cerebrate stays where it is. They said it would be there all year they should keep it. Maybe add some frozen to it if they want but don't lose the Walt stuff because a few ppl are Luke warm. We are looking forward to seeing it and will be heart broken if we can't see it. My hubby will be sad.
I am hoping also that frozen fun comes back for the holiday times.

Based on the information that I saw, it certainly seems as though Olaf's Snow Fest will be back at some point during the holiday season, since the musicians were already being auditioned in August. The timing of the auditions would indicate that Snow Fest is lined up to return by November, but I suppose it could also be December. Last year they were auditioning people in October, for a soft opening in December and an official opening in January.


It appeared that the Star Wars Launch Bay was set to start on October 11th, based on what the audition description indicated as to when the characters would need to start work. So, if that is true, the Disney Parks Blog should be announcing sometime very soon that the Launch Bay will be starting in October. December should be interesting, as that's likely when the new version of Star Tours will debut, and there will probably be some sort of event at the Magic Eye Theater to commemorate the premiere of the new "Star Wars" movie.

World of Color... we'll see what happens. Maybe they won't go into full Winter Dreams mode, but add a wintry section to Celebrate!

Here a few from last year:

 

[Sherry E]

Here's the latest El Nino info/update - http://www.weather.com/news/climate/news/strong-el-nino-noaa-update-september2015. As expected, it's not lessening or fizzling. It has become a strong El Nino, and now the outlook is that the El Nino-related rain will continue into spring. That's what I figured -- sometimes we don't get our heaviest rain until late winter and spring. This time it looks like it might begin in late fall/early winter and last through some of spring.
