Are you doing a TR for your WDW trip this year? I can't wait to hear about it! There are several people from this side of the board who are venturing to Orlando this year - Bumbershoot and Bret (mvf-m11c) among them.

I plan to do a trip report. If I didn't I wouldn't have any excuse to take pics of all our food Will you be doing one too??

FYI - They are giving out Christmas dining info on the dining line. The only special meal Christmas Eve is a NY striploin buffet at Plaza Inn, but Christmas Day there are many choices for special meals - Goofy's Kitchen, Plaza Inn, Rainforest Cafe, PCH Grill, Ariel's Grotto, DLH and Carnation Cafe.

Good Lord! I'd better stop looking at the DIS boards and call to make dining reservations. Thanks for the heads-up

Thanks, where's_my_prince, for posting photos!

And keep in mind, everyone - there will be tons and tons of merchandise. Way too much to photograph all of it. You won't be able to escape holiday merchandise in the parks when you're there. This is only October - there is lots more to come between now and November 12th. There will be many, many sweatshirts. There will be many Mickey snowman items. There will be dishware and magnets and all kinds of pins and ornaments and t-shirts. Just a plethora of things! This is only the tip of the iceberg.

All the weather reports for up here are that La Nina is on her way and that we are in for a long cold winter. Great for skiers and snowboarders. Sucks for me. Good thing we will be in Australia for months of it. Hopefully the worst will be over by the time we get back.

Yes, exactly. La Nina! I think we will have a cold December-January-February (cold for California, anyway)!!

Funny, I just came over to this thread (thank you Sherry putting Christmas in my head before I got finished with Halloween super thread & our trip for the party :love to see if they had posted the dates for the candy canes yet. Since we had so much fun with our Halloween visit we are thinking about going mid-Dec but this time DH wants to get candy canes. We keep missing them. So we are going to try and plan around them this trip.
Later,
Sue

You're welcome!! Hee hee!

I may. If I do, it will just be tacked on to the end of my existing mega-TR.

Oooh...that's great information to know, Newbie!! So many people ask about meals on the actual holiday, so this gives them a wide variety of options! Thank you so much for filling us in on that!

We are leaving in one month for our Holiday themed Disneyland vacation. I have a question for all the seasoned holiday goers. The candy canes they make at the candy palace, when do they start and how do I get a voucher (if they are still doing it like that)? I tried to call the candy hotline, but it's a recording with what they're making to mid September (they're a little behind).

Take a look at Page 61 of this thread - it starts off with a question about the candy canes, and some folks offer input. And I also posted a link on that page to a Candy Cane thread from a long time ago. Here is the link to Page 61:

oh i hope they have more mickey snowman!!! didn't someone on this board say they were going to make a mickey snowman popcorn bucket? i hope that rumor is true!!!

It wouldn't surprise me if they did that. The Mickey snowman pops up on lots of things, from t-shirts to magnets to pins to mugs to snowglobes - he's everywhere during the holidays. We will start to see a lot more things appear in the shops in the next couple of weeks.

I know what I'm interested in seeing - but it may not come out until November - last year there were these miniature lighted sculptures/figures of some of the buildings on Main Street, like the Emporium and City Hall and something else. They were mini-holiday versions of the buildings (much like the mini-ToonTown light up houses they made in the '90s). I did not see these Main Street buildings in 2007 or 2008. And I missed them last year because I didn't go in any shops other than Pooh's Corner. I saw photos of them, though.

Can you look for the mini-Main Street light-up buildings? Those are great collectibles!

Also, can you check to see if any of the "gingerbread cookie" items are being sold again this year? I posted photos earlier in this thread of all of my cookie collectibles that I got in 2007, but they also sold them in 2008, and I think they were still selling a couple of gingerbread cookie souvenirs last year - things like gingerbread Mickey and Minnie magnets, a Mickey cookie ornament, a Castle cookie ornament, a cookie snowglobe, a cookie picture frame, etc.
