disney at christmas

[Goofy_Mom]

That's right! Or he has to put on the Tree Detective hat too and help you in the Quest!

Divide and conquor!!

On a side note, I was at Target today. As expected, they have a ton of christmas stuff out. I bought 3 lighted candy canes and peppermint kisses (sooo yummy). I was looking (not hard) for brach's peppermint nougats but I didn't see them.

Aw, don't give away my secret strategy!

Muhahahahahaha! He will be recruited in Tree Quest whether he likes it or not!!

Yum! Peppermint kisses! I bet that Dreyer's has put out its peppermint ice cream now too - which is the same ice cream that will be found at Gibson Girl in DLR. I shall buy some for my freezer but I don't know if I can eat it until after DLR. I may feel like I'm cheating - 'cause it's more fun to eat it out of a green and red sprinkled chocolate-y cone that it is to eat it at home.

(That's the cue for PHXScuba to pop in. 'Peppermint' is the golden word.)

Of course it would make sense! If they are wearing Santa hats or have Christmas pictures drawn on their bums, then it fits here...

Well even if they weren't actually wearing Christmas decorations on their hinies, nothing a little computer drawing program couldn't fix!

Indeed their is, and egg nog ice cream, and pumpkin pie ice cream, and a couple others but the flavors escape me at the moment. At the grocery store they do sell colored sprinkles, I have one with 5 chambors - for when I want my dessert to look like christmas sneezed on it.

It's going to be very interesting if we can locate all 700 trees around the resort. It will be tough, but with everyones help we can get all 700 trees.

Time to post pics during the Holiday season from the past.

Thanks Sherry!!! I love it and there are ones on there I didn't have on my list. Thank you, too, for making me feel sooo much better about the whole idea - I thought I was so utterly weird to even THINK about doing this, but should have known I would find soul mates here on the DIS.

Man. Haven't we learned how competitive I am yet? I'm going for gold here. I'll have to tell Jason how sorry I am that I can' spend any time with him because I'll be too busy hunting down trees.

Belle Ella,

Either Jason joins in or you are limited in your participation, girl! He is too adorable and I need a fix in your continuing story, so, I am sorry, but you may not ignore him. I think you have mentioned your have several cameras?


So happy to hear of all the recruits on this quest...Kylie71 and Bret! And since we are all going at different times, it will be great to seek out new trees each time someone returns.

OOH! Another Supernatural fan. I like you even more!! I'm all ready to watch it.

Don't worry, I wont be ignoring Jason any time soon. Heck, he'll be here in the Bay Area next weekend. It's no DLR, but it will do. Especially since we'll be at the WDFM at least one day.

Sad thing is, I am back down to one camera. My P&S was more my sisters than mine and she has taken it back. I may have to stalk work to see what deals we'll get on cameras.

But even with one I think I can do a lot of damage.

[JH87]

Thanks for the pictures Jasmine! All that stuff is soooo cute!! Too bad I'm not going during this Holiday season (2011 for sure though! )
& I didn't know that about the pressed quarters! The one with scared Mickey is funny
Those hat/headband things are cute too! Were there any of the classic ear hats out? What do the Christmas ones usually look like?

 

[areweindisneyyet]

Go Tree Quest 2010.

Your quest will help me get through one more holiday season before I get to go back in 2011.

I am loving the new 2010 pictures, very sad to not see the CALIFORNIA sign again. The merchandise is great. We all have our disney christmas hats that we wear every christmas morning as we open our presents.

WOW!! Bret, these are just fantastic! I especially love this one - what a great and different view.

I never knew this...great information! I may just have to pick up for the scrapbook.

 

[KCmike]

I saw that the Candy Cane theme is back on the CALIFORNIA letters!!! WOOHOO! I was hoping for one last year of it as I haven't been there during that time before. So excited.

Miceage.com has their weekly review and it has pictures of all things christmas.

 

[lapdwife]

Is anyone planning on going for the tapings for the Christmas Day Parade? According to CM's last night, including one who verified this with City Hall, the parade down Main St portions are taking place tomorrow. All the camera rigging was up last night. The tree was not in place yet last night. I'm trying to talk the family into a long and boring, but cool day.

 

[Goofy_Mom]

cute mickey hats! the bottom one is adorable!!

I love how the light got the buckel on the hat just right for a twinkle

 

[funatdisney]

It sounds like Liza has more photos to post in the Halloween thread, so it won't be totally put to rest yet. As long as there is still stuff to post, I'm game for keeping it active.

I am downloading pictures from our trip last week as I write this! Hopefully some of the shots my DH took of the girls with the fireworks in the back round will come out.

@Jillian
yes they're are going to be classic mickey ears holiday themed, i think i saw them, if i do i'll take a pic next time

yes the candy can letters are back, and i dont know if you guys know but this will be the last year they will be there because they are taking the sign down!

 

[Belle Ella]

This is exactly why I am so glad I finally will get the chance to see the candy cane letters, before they go away! Heck, all last year weren't we hearing that they would be coming down in 2010? It's a nice surprise that hey're still up and will be for this season, even though we know they have to come down eventually.

I've never even seen them. So totally excited! I was bummed about not getting to see the candy corn letters, so the candy cane letters will have to make up for it.

 

[amamax2]

Anyone know exactly WHEN they will take the letters out?

I have been trying for ages to get that iconic shot of all the letters, but something seems to always get in the way (like PEOPLE ) , or lighting or something....

I even went early one day on our last trip - dragged everyone out of bed and we headed over to the Esplanade, but security was already up and then we had to wait for over an hour in the scorching sun before they let us into the Esplanade - my family wanted to leave and come back, but I kept saying, I'm sure they'l let us in any minute now....didn't happen.

Sheesh, how early do you have to get there to beat security? My family was not happy with me that day.
