Okay, up to this point, I have been trying to post as many 'people-free' photos as possible, so anyone looking at this thread can get a good, clear idea of what all the decorations and holiday sights are like at DLR without my big head (or my friends) cluttering up the shots!! It can't be avoided in PhotoPas pictures, however.
As this is a DLR holiday photo and information thread designed to assist DIS-ers with their planning, one of the Christmastime activities people may want to try out and include on their agenda is PhotoPass. Of course, the PhotoPass photographers roam around DLR all year long. But they do have special PhotoPass locations and borders you can apply specifically during the holidays. So here are some good examples of the kinds of PhotoPass pictures you can get during the holiday season at DLR, as well as some of the holiday borders you can add on their website when you return home from your DLR trip.
With Santa by the Grand Californian Hotel Christmas tree - this is the only DLR hotel location where you can find a PhotoPass photographer with Santa, even though Santa appears at all 3 DLR hotels. Santa sits out for brief intervals, then takes long breaks! This photo was taken at night:
By the giant Main Street tree - daytime:

Winter Castle Daytime:
Im not Jewish, but its nice to have different options to use for borders:
Two versions of the Winter Castle at nighttime:
Bad version - this is the one you
don't want, when the sparkly icicle lights are turned off!:
Good version - this is the money shot that everyone wants, with the breathtaking lights all aglow:
On Main Street with Mickey garland backdrop:
With Christmas Pooh (Christmas Tigger and Christmas Eeyore decided to take a break while we were waiting for them in line grrrrrr
..)
IASW Holiday nighttime (look at allllll the people cluttering up the photo! This is both a wonderful and a terrible location for pictures, as it is so gorgeous and photogenic at night, but it is virtually impossible to get a photo without all these people in your shot, as the line for the ride is right there in the way!):
In front of the Golden Gate Bridge - daytime:

By the DCA tree daytime:
Merry Christmas!
Love the giant Mickey-shaped ornaments!

Hollywood Pictures Backlot area nighttime (you can see some of the holiday decorations in the background, like the big Candy Cane on the left and the bell garland thingy on the right):
And they are especially great because we haven't necessarily seen too much of that stuff yet in this thread - the ToonTown-at-night photos and the extra glimpses of the Reindeer Round-up are relatively new here!! We have seen some of the Reindeer Round-up but not all of that. And where was that extra Christmas tree photo from? Was that taken in New Orleans Square?
