Thank you for the great replies about the Christmas or Halloween thing I am in. The only thing that gets me is that I know they have so many awesome villans out at Halloween, which I have never seen, I am a huge character person, at Christmas they don't have any extra characters out and about, but thats ok. I am looking forward to the Christmas trip and maybe Halloween another year. Thanks for the pictures too, can't wait to see more.
True...the villains do come out at HalloweenTime. Although, it always seems that the villain you want is the villain that decides to take a lunch break just as you get up there to have your photo taken!!

I also wasn't fond of the Villains set-up by IASW last year. I think they could put them against a better backdrop - something that looks Halloween-ish. The places the villains have been for the last two years made the photos look like they could have been taken in summer! They need to have somewhere spooky to put the villains! I want to know it's HalloweenTime when I look at the photos! Hopefully, by the time you make a HalloweenTime trip (maybe next year?), there will be even more stuff to look forward to. If this years Mickey's Halloween Party goes over well in DL, they will probably start adding even more stuff to it and making HalloweenTime a bigger deal.
Sherry, I can hardly believe that you finally ran out of pictures! After 37 years of trips you would think there would be no end!

And what's up over on that thread of yours? There haven't been any new posts in ages!
Yep, that was the DCA Christmas tree. And, thanks! I am biased and think my DD is pretty cute too. Even more... I love the fact that she is cooperative and lets me take all the pictures of her I want. She has become quite the little ham over the years.
Well, I have run out of anything 'recent' in terms of holiday photos. I could certainly add more holiday DLR photos from other years past, but I ran out of anything from the last few years. I only wish I had 37 years of specific Christmas at DLR photos! I just have 37 years of DLR photos in general! I think I went to DLR as a kid maybe twice around Christmas - and, of course, it was nothing like we all know it to be now. It was not nearly the big deal that it is now. But whoever took photos of those childhood DLR Christmas trips did not share them with me. So it wasn't until about 1990 that I started getting the bright idea that I wanted to make Christmas trips to DLR as an adult, with friends, and I could take my own photos (we had previously been going during the heat of summer, and I was missing out on all that holiday magic).
I saw that you bumped my TR - thanks, Marie! I have actually been silently brainstorming about this year's DLR trips - the time will fly by between now and the holidays. Heck, HalloweenTime at DLR starts in 3-1/2 months!!! Once Halloween comes along, Christmas is right around the corner!! I just have not posted anything yet because I don't want to jinx myself. Last year was such a fiasco in pulling any kind of DLR trip together. This year, I thought I would silently try to plan some stuff and see what happens. But I will go back to the TR and post something, just to keep it alive! I think you rescued it from the depths of Page 2!!
I love those photos you posted above, Marie. Even though I have seen them in your TRs, they seem to have a whole new magical life over here in the "Disney at Christmas" thread, so I feel like I am seeing them for the first time!! I was waiting eagerly for that Santa-spinning-the-popcorn photo! And I had forgotten about your window display pictures, but those specific ones are things we haven't seen here, I don't think!!
It's good that your DD is a ham for the camera - that way there will be no shortage of memories captured when she is young!!
