Sure...they're good for you!

Be sure and scroll back through the thread to have a look at the other fantastic photos.

By the way, I hope everyone who hasn't yet posted any photos of DLR at Holiday time realizes that they don't have to be 'beauty shots.' They don't have to be the best pictures you have or the ones that are framed the best or whatever. This thread is for the sake of helping people plan their trips, so any and all DLR holiday pictures are welcome.

If anyone has any fairly recent DLR Christmas holiday-related pictures to share - whether they are perfectly lit and framed, or whether they are just random, obscure photos of little out of the way details and nuances of DLR in November/December, feel free to post them all.

Aftermath of Candlelight Processional (I wish I saw it)

 

[Sherry E]

Fantastic, Disneylvrforever!!! Not only did you fix the ones that disappeared (they had also vanished from the Halloween thread yesterday, too, by the way!) but you came through with even MORE amazing pictures! Those are so wonderful! You have a way of pulling some great stuff out of your hat when we need it! I love the inside look at the Reindeer Round-Up, and I LOVE the Bug's Land stuff. LOVE the IASW Holiday projection photos. I LOVE the peacock tree in NOS, and I love the Candlelight Processional aftermath photos!! And the cupcakes! YUM! (The cupcakes tempt me much more than the apples, but the apples are much cuter!) A lot of this is stuff we have not seen yet, or it is more detailed than what we have seen thus far!!!

I hope all of the people out there who have been enjoying this thread have seen these latest additions because they are just great and perfect for what we need!!

I think the reason I noticed the missing photos is because I like to scroll through this whole thread periodically, just to look at the photos (same thing with the Halloween thread), and so when I was scrolling, I noticed your pictures had vanished!!

Let's give this magical thread a little bit of a nudge! It's too wonderful to be forgotten or overlooked.

Christmas Fantasy Parade

Do you have a Photobucket account?

No - but I uploaded here so I "think" I figured it out but they are small.

Castle at Christmas:

(Figured out if I remove "thumbs", photo is bigger!)

 

[Sherry E]

Yay! You got it working!!

Those parade pictures are wonderful, Sierranevada! And I love the daytime Winter Castle picture. It makes me want the holidays to roll around soon, so I can get back and see all this great stuff again. I actually have not seen the parade in its entirety, believe it or not, and would like to see it eventually. It looks great!

Thank you soooooo much for posting and contributing to our Disney at Christmas super thread!! If you have anymore, keep them coming!!

We just booked for Disney World for this December. Hard to choose between Disney Land and Disney World~

 

[Sherry E]

Tksbaskets! You have been holding out on us all this time?!! Those pictures are great!! And see, this is what I love - every time someone posts a photo or a series of photos, I see something that I know I haven't seen before - like that adorable little Christmas tree in WWS!!! And were those carolers in that one photo of the 4 people? They look totally different than the carolers that I saw and took pictures of!! Those are fantastic!!! Woo hoo! Paying it forward!!

Again, many thanks to Sierranevada and Tksbaskets for coming through with your amazing DLR holiday photos today, and to Disneylvrforever for her great pictures from a couple of days ago!!! As you can see, this thread has quite a lot of views, so even if people lurk in the background and don't come forward with photos or questions/answers right away, they are watching!! So we are accomplishing the goal of capturing folks' attention and probably generating some interest in planning holiday trips to DLR.

I know I never get tired of looking at the pictures of DLR at holiday time - so those 18,000+ views of this thread may all be coming from me!!!!

Time for a bump!!

Couldn't this thread be stickied in the DLR resort info master thread? Christmas and Halloween are 2 big times that people usually ask questions or look for info.

Couldn't this thread be stickied in the DLR resort info master thread? Christmas and Halloween are 2 big times that people usually ask questions or look for info.

Yes - I think that is probably what will happen (at least I would opt to do that). We will probably add this thread and the 'Halloween at DL' into that master info sticky thread you mentioned, because you are absolutely correct - questions come up regarding planning Halloween and Christmas DLR trips all the time, and these are more than just photo threads - they are actually meant to assist in planning and sharing info, but the photos are the necessary visual representation and the kind of lifeline that keeps the threads going.

I will probably still end up bumping both this and the Halloween thread because, as we have found out on the DIS, once you 'stick' something or add it to a sticky, it is almost the kiss of death in that it often gets ignored. A lot of people ignore stickies unless they are specifically directed to them, and even then, they don't always like to click on links and take the extra time to seek them out. We find that people seem to pay much more attention to the active, moving threads that appear on the first or second page of this main DL planning section of the board. They see something right there that catches their attention and then they check it out. Our poor character meal photo thread (also kind of intended to help with planning of character meals) is included in that master info sticky, and it is almost forgotten about because no one sees it active and moving - and the subject of characters meals comes up all the time on the DIS, so there is no shortage of interest in the topic, but if it is not right there, on the main page, it is often overlooked.

I have a question about DL during the Holidays. Do they sell warm hats during the winter? I'm wondering whether to bring some or buy some there.
