I booked a WOC Dessert Party for the 9th which is a Tuesday.

Really? I wonder if there's something off with the reservations site. As of this morning, it's still showing WOC Dessert Party unavailable the first two weeks of December other than the weekends. Theoretically it could be booked up, but I think that would be unlikely. There is a WOC Dining Package showing available during those two weeks, but only for Magic Key Terrace.

If it's running throughout December, that's great news!

Dec 14th (arrival) - 19th (departure) DLH villas I’ll be there! Taking my brothers for the first time since super excited

 

[BriannaRuth]

@dunkindonut You're there the same days we are! Also at the DLH, although not the villas.

@twinsouvenirs Have you been at Christmas before?

 

[BriannaRuth]

Looks like there are some not-often seen characters at Fantasyland Theater for the holiday season, including Jiminy Cricket. Here's a link to a post by @evilmommie in case any of you missed it. This looks awesome!

I rescheduled my Dapper Day trip due to the weather so I will be coming Dec. 14-17! Yes, can't wait to see Jiminy! Later date means maybe a candy cane (never had one) and maybe dinner st Carnation Cafe, I'm eyeing those petite medallions of beef...just hoping weather complies!

 

[dunkindonut]

There’s so much food at DL that I pretty much have very little interest in restaurants lately. Everything they put out this year seems incredible

We have never been to DL at all before! We are WDW regulars and usually go right after Christmas, but this year I booked for Christmas sort of accidentally- I wasn’t exactly sure what days we would go but I knew we were going to do Aulani, so I snagged a few days at DLH as a stopover and then it just turned into a plan!

I am really excited -it will be our first time at Disneyland- although I also have mixed feelings about having our first Christmas away from home.

Our dates are almost the same! 23-29 at the Villas too! This will be our first Christmas at Disney and I'm excited.

I’m at DLR, so I thought I’d pop by and take a few pics of the Santa area at Fantasyland Theater. It’s a very similar setup to last year, but they made some aesthetic changes, so it feels fresh!

I’ll add some context later, when I’m off the dicey WiFi.

Wow, Aulani and DLH in one trip, sounds like a lot of fun! Never been to Aulani but would love to go sometime.

If I had to spend Christmas away from home, Disneyland would be at the top of my list!

@evilmommie Thanks for posting the pictures! Doesn't look crowded at all, was it a slow day at the park or just not crowded in this area?

The line for the baked potatoes. They are getting a cult following. The breakfast potato is only available until 11 so that pulls a lot of people over early. They also have a holiday cookie cold brew which is new.
