Bump!

I was lurking on the Disneyland calendar and noticed that they have dates up until Nov. 8. Does that mean with the Christmas season beginning Nov. 12 that they might finally release some more details, or are they going to be all about starting up Halloween this week?

Not that I have anything against Halloween (I went in October last year), but I'm ready for some holiday magic! Less than 2 months until the start of Christmastime -- people are going to be trying to book holiday tours and stuff!!

Those are amazing pictures, Jemilah!! You got such good photos of the ToonTown trees! The colors really come to life and because the photos are clear and close-up, you can see all the wonderful details of each one of the ToonTown trees. Your close-up of Roger Rabbit in the wreath above Car Toon Spin is fantastic too. I think that many people miss seeing Roger in his Santa gear up there because he's kind of small and out of the way. Your camera is great!!

Thank you so much for posting the photos. I can't wait to see whatever else you have.

We are going to be arriving at DLR on Sunday, Dec. 5. I don't know what time, it depends upon what we do that day in San Diego, which we are visiting first. The thing is, the CP is Sunday evening, and then the CM parties are Monday and Tuesday nights. On Thursday we need to drive back to San Diego, to catch an early morning flight home on the 10th. This leads me to a couple questions: 1) if we arrive early enough, is it crazy to consider visiting DCA for a bit? I'm assuming that we will want to avoid DL. I'm trying to figure out if I should buy 4 or 5 day passes. 2) Will we get to see much of the evening DL Christmas lights, since we will have to leave early because of the CM parties? I've heard that the fireworks will be at 5:15, but I don't know if that is correct or not. Sunset is at 4:42. I'm worried that we really won't have much of a chance, if Wed. is our only possible night. After looking at all these beautiful pictures, I'd hate to miss out on the lights!

I think you'll get to see enough of the nighttime stuff between Wednesday and the other partial nights before it. You'll want to get some nighttime pictures in front of the Winter Castle and maybe even IASW Holiday. If getting a 5-day Hopper will increase the chances of being able to see and do more at night, then I say go for it. Otherwise, you should be able to soak most of it in.

11/24-11/25
or
11/25-11/26!

My first instinct is to say 11/24 - 11/25. I'm thinking that the night before Thanksgiving (11/24) might be slightly less hectic in the parks because a lot of folks are at home cooking their meals for the next day or shopping or whatever. I know that last year's reports were that the crowds leading up to Thanksgiving were heavy and the crowds after Thanksgiving were better, but I can't help but think that the 11/26 will be a madhouse. I don't think the heavy crowds will clear out until 11/28 or after.

Oh no!!! So no HalloweenTime DLR trip and no Christmastime trip this year? It just couldn't be worked out in any way, huh? Well, I'm hoping next year will bring better luck and more trips. Hopefully the WDW Halloween trip will work out in 2011.

I looked into this last week because I got the same question from someone at work. Based on the crowds last year, it sounds like 11/25 - 11/26 would be best. That's because the annual pass holders are blocked out Thursday - Sunday, but not Monday - Wednesday.
