Welcome to this thread, Tina! You know, I think it was yesterday that I saw you had posted on another thread about going to DLR during Christmastime and loving it at that time of year, and I was going to ask you to join us over here (and then I had to sign off quickly). Until we start to get some news in on the holiday agenda and activities this year, we are passing the time sharing photos. In fact, I think the photos throughout this thread are probably 80% of the reason why it has become so popular since last year.

Do you have any DLR holiday photos you can show us? We love looking at pictures here - that's for sure!

 

[deejdigsdis]

Wow! I have more than a few pages to catch up on over here. In the meantime lets bring this up!

 

[Flitterific]

Good news!! I weaseled (err...persuaded) DBF into renew our PAPs ...either way, it means I can go both during Halloweentime and Christmastime (Thanksgiving) and can add more pictures to both threads

Anyway, I still haven't figured out how to resize the pictures on Photobucket when I upload them. But here is some food porn anyway:

Gingerbread Cookie with Mickey Ears

Regular Gingerbread Man Cookies

Holiday Shortbread Cookies

Holiday Cupcakes & Pumpkin Cupcakes

Peppermint & Pumpkin Fudge

 

[Flitterific]

Oh...how weird. The first gingerbread man cookie is big but the rest of the pictures are small. Any Photobucket experts out there who can help me figure out how to make them all big? I uploaded all the pictures at the same time and have no idea what I did differently...

Flitterific - First your DBF rocks getting your PAP again . Second those are some great food porn pictures no matter what size. I want the Mickey gingerbread!!

Thanks for sharing!

 

[tlovesdis]

Here are a few from 2002. My niece was 3!

OMG!! you have posted all my favorites!! mmmmmm makes me want Christmas to be here now!! yummmmmmm

Yes, you haven't been here in a while (or so it seems)! You probably had quite a bit to catch up on! Today, this thread had slipped way down on page 2. All the World of Color excitement is causing the board to be quite busy, I think.

Well, the enabler in me says YAY! You are renewing the AP and can go for both Halloween and Christmas!! YAY!!! No need to make a tough decision between the two holidays!! Really, there is a lot of value in having an AP, even though the price is quite painful. Your boyfriend did the right thing in 'agreeing' to a renewal!!

Love love love the holiday food porn - and by the way, I don't think I ever saw the cupcake with the Christmas green Mickey head on top! I have seen holiday cupcakes without a green Mickey. I have seen the muffins with the orange Mickey pumpkin on top, but that green Mickey is new to me! I love those gingerbread me with ears so much - they are so delicious. And I loved the shortbread cookies too (even though other folks said they thought they were too dry). I have not tried the pumpkin fudge yet.

If all those photo were loaded at the same time, I would have no clue why one photo would come out large but the others did not. Were two different cameras used? I know sometimes cerrtain cell phone photos will not enlarge, no matter what one does to them. If they loaded at a small size, you won't be able to enlarge them from the small size. But if the natural default size of the photos was set larger before they all uploaded, and the same camera was used as the one that took the gingerbread Mickey photo, then I can't see why they would have shrunk while one stayed large. That's baffling! In any case, small or large - great photos and great contributions to this thread!!

I have to go back on to Photobucket and double check where exactly the size option is for new uploads. They just recently moved it - I was used to it being in a certain area, and then they relocated it so the last time I had to upload, I was looking all over for it. I hate having to go in and resize each photo one by one because my PC is so slow. I prefer to just set them to one size before they upload.

Here are a few from 2002. My niece was 3!

Tina, I love the photo of your adorable niece underneath the tree! You can see how absolutely tiny she is in comparison to that massive tree and those presents! So cute! Thansk so much for contributing to this thread and sharing your wonderful pictures!

Any news yet on start time? Kinda early I suppose. I was thinking that if my family gets our AP's after our Sept trip, why not go for ChristmasTime!!!! I haven't been at Christmas since 2002...it's time to go back!
So I am wondering which time frame to go...
Either 11/10-11/14 or 11/19-11/23.
The kiddos have 11/11 (vets day) and the friday after off. Wondering if this would be a better weekend than weekend before Tgiving???
Guess it will matter when ChristmasTime begins...cuz we want to be there full swing!!!
I am sooo hooked now, maybe already planning our Spring Trip tooo...

Last year it was November 13th, so I would think November 12th this year?!

Tablefor5!!! You're on this thread too! Yay!! Like several of us, you are doing double duty on both of the holiday threads!! Is this the first time you've posted on this thread, or have you posted and I just somehow missed you/forgot you? I think this is your first post here, right?

Well, first of all, you - more than anyone - know what to do to get the information coming in, and it just involves a little creepy guy we all know and love (his swift moves can work over here as well):



You were the one who got the HalloweenTime information flowing with the special Memorial Day version of the Boogie. So now we have 4th of July coming up, and that will surely require some extra dancing for HalloweenTime and Christmastime!! We just have a little bit of HalloweenTime info left to learn (the main agenda of activities and things for the season) in July, and then after that, we need to channel our fancy footwork towards the effort of getting Christmastime info!

Like Kayla's Mom said, Christmastime began on November 13th last year. However, I should point out that in 2009 the season began a week earlier than it had begun in 2008. So I don't know if they would actually start it on the 12th of November this year, or if it would be the 19th. You never know with that sneaky Disney - just when we think we have them pegged to (sort of) a pattern, they go and switch it up. We might expect them to start a season early, and then it ends up being later, or vice versa. This year, HalloweenTime is starting a full week earllier than I was expecting, but next year it could be a week later.

So I think it's safe to say that Christmastime will not begin any earlier than November 12th, but it could begin on November 19th. We probably will not know those details until August, I would think.

I'm thinking 11/19 - 11/23 would be more of a guaranteed "full swing" celebration time, but again, we should know for sure in a couple of months when the actual start date is.

Yes, you must go to DLR again during Christmastime!! 2002 is waaaaaay too long to not be enjoying DLR during the holiday season. This whole thread, with all its beautiful pictures and details, should be enough to convince you that another holiday trip is in the air!!

I'm totally psyched about DBF agreeing to renew our APs too I can't wait for Halloweentime even though we have one more trip in August before then

Anyway, the pictures were all taken using the same camera on the same trip. I had changed the settings on Photobucket so that they would all upload small but that was before they changed their site. I tried to click on "more options" next to the "Upload Pictures" button where it gives you the options of what size to upload your pictures. However, I can't click on any other size and save my preferences

Yes, first time post on this thread, of course lurking for some time though
I am also thinking my later dates would be a better guarantee but I am scared of the Tgiving crowds. I have the HoJo booked for those dates anyway. Would love to go Veterans weekend if the crowds are "lower"...
I really hope I get our AP's!!!! It just makes sense and we can enjoy a few more trips now that the kiddos are getting older. My goal is to sell more stuff on ebay to pay for the upgrades!!! It would make me feel better knowing I "earned" it different from my real job
I know if I don't stay off this board I will HAVE to go looking at all those photos...OMG loving it at Christmas!
I will have to wait for official news of the ChristmasTime...what a bummer.
I will have to think of a new info boogie for this board, but I think it's a little early now...so for now... I will give a few of these

Bump!

 

[deejdigsdis]

Whew! All caught up! Was that a REAL tree that I saw a couple of pages back from tlovesdis? Here are a few more pics. I apologize if I already posted these ones. I just can't remember for sure and didn't want to take the time to search back.

And one of my favorites...one that makes me want to be there RIGHT NOW!

Keep the pictures coming, big or small. Mine are all big. I didn't know I had any control over that until I read some recent discussion on this thread. Is big a problem for some? I'm wondering if you can't see the whole picture at once...like do you have to scroll further to the right to see the rest of the pictures? Or maybe they load super slow? I like seeing the details better in the bigger pictures.

 

[tlovesdis]

She sure is tiny! She is 11 now and so tall! I love looking at these ppics of her when she was little! She is my little Disney buddy! She has been to DL about 16 times!!!

We need to bump this and get some holiday merriment on the first page of the forum! Everything is about World of Color right now, but we still need photos and information on this thread!!

We'll be in town for one day on November 20th. I hope the festivities will be in full swing by then. What is the weather like? Jeans and jackets?
