I'll bet Sherry E is waiting for the 12th to start the part 2 thread. That way she can have a "previouse years" tab and a "this year" tab Just a guess.

Maybe, we are only 4 days until the start of the Holiday season at DL. It will be great to read and see all these different pictures from the Holiday season. It would also be good if we can go through this thread and have a link to all the pictures on this thread and move it to the Part 2 Christmas thread so other DISers don't have to repost their pics on the new thread. I will be posting pics like crazy on my TR and the new Christmas Part 2 thread when Sherry starts it one day.

Aw. I just remembered ... my cousin will be at DLR this weekend!! She was excited when I told her about everything. She had no idea. It's just the first time she's had to get down there.

I'm a space cadet, I didn't relieze how close the 12th was until you said that.

You are right that we do need a Table of Contents on this Christmas thread. I'm glad that you started the Halloween at DLR Part 2 so everyone on the thread can see all the different link to the Halloween pics on one post. It is just tough to find all these different pics on this thread one page at a time.

There is already 2300 posts on this thread and if I remember correctly on the Halloween at DL first thread it stopped around 3400 posts. The 2nd Part of the Halloween thread is already at 1700 posts in just less than two months. I wonder if we have to wait a little bit longer and start Part 2 of the Christmas thread until it gets to 3000 posts? It would be nice to have the ToC so everyone can see the other pics during the Holiday season.

Bret - it has nothing to do with how many posts are in the thread. There is a 250-page limit for each thread, and I timed it out in the Halloween situation where that we were close to the end of Part 1, and then I started Part 2. I'm not sure I am going to wait that long to start Part 2, but I'm not starting it yet.

You do realize that the Table of Contents is something that is not mandatory, I'm sure. There does not have to be a ToC in every thread, and, in fact, many, many threads on many boards don't have them. So I wanted to put one in the Halloween thread to make it easier, but it's not required.

So, please, everyone, just trust me that I know what I'm doing with the Christmas thread. This thread already has tons of photos and information in it and this is the one people are referring to right now to plan. If I start a new one, there will not be enough info or photos in it for reference.

Nope. That's not what I'm doing. I explained it earlier, and I've explained it before - this thread is fully developed and has tons of photos already in it - not to mention tons of info, which people can use while they are planning and on the verge of making their trips. A new thread will not be fully developed for a long time, so while people are in the process of still planning things I want to leave this one active and then make the gradual transition to a new thread.

There will be a Table of Contents in the new thread for the new photos that are posted. There is not going to be a ToC for this thread, just like there was not a ToC for Halloween at DL, Part 1.

These things take a really long time, guys, to make them detailed and all-encompassing - and this is volunteer work. No one is getting paid here.

Sherry will have a rockin' new home for Part 2 when the time comes. It will be awesome. I'm just sad I'll have to wait until towards the end of the Holiday season before I can really have anything to contribute! Now I just gotta decide if I'm going to write a TR.

I remember when you said that on the first Halloween thread that you won't start a new one until it gets close to the page limit. Yes, I know that it is not mandatory, but it will help all of us DISers to see the different pictures on one post instead of going through page to page.

There will be a Table of Contents in the new thread for the new photos that are posted. There is not going to be a ToC for this thread, just like there was not a ToC for Halloween at DL, Part 1.

I have faith in you that you know what you are doing. I know that we don't get paid and this is a volunteer work, but we like to give out great information so others can enjoy a full experience at DL.

But Sherry, I thought you had magic powers All you have to do is wave your magic wand, cast your magic spell, and *poof* everything is as it should be, the way you invisioned it Hon, you do a fantastic job keep it up. I didn't know it was all volunteer, though. Extra kudos to you

That's awesome!! Really!!

I've been meaning to go through page by page. But I always get distracted because ... well ... I talk too much. Maybe I'll get started on that tomorrow while waiting for my sister to arrive on Wednesday and my plans for the weekend kick in. I really want to get in the mood by the time my time comes along.

And hopefully soon I'll have actual dates set in stone.

Aww...that is such a beautiful story, Sherry! Anyway, I never noticed the smell of peppermint on the IASWH ride (but then again, my allergies get the best of me most of the time and I just noticed the scent of pickled ginger on the Monsters Inc. ride for the first time this past trip and I've been on that ride at least a dozen times! ). I'll be sure to pay more attention when I go during Thanksgiving

Wait a minute....Monsters Inc smells like pickled ginger? And IASW has smells too? Only at Christmas-time though right? I did not know this! What rides other than those, HMH, Soaring & the train in Bugs Land have scents (seasonal or otherwise)? I love finding out fun little details like this!

 

[Funball]

Sherry WILL have a toc soon everyone. just relax !! RFLOL

 

[Belle Ella]

OMG! OMG! OMG! I was sitting in my bed with my cat just a few seconds ago when I hear the slow tune of IASW coming from the living room. I cannot tell you how fast I jumped out of bed and scampered into the living room so I could see the commercial myself -- on the TV! It was definitely a shortened version of last years commercial that I found on YouTube this morning, but it was definitely the same footage, just edited differently. Ended with the fireworks, not IASW though.

It does exist!!

Dang this thread is moving fast now. 5 pages since yesterday! I spotted the first Christmas lights up in my neighborhood today. Yay! I'm thinking of running up to DL on Monday for some Christmas shopping at WOC and Lego store and to take pictures of the holiday stuff without DS4 yelling at me "no more pictures Mommy!"

 

[funatdisney]

You know what's funny - my DD6 picked out the Halloween demitasse dessert at Blue Ribbon precisely because of the keepsake cup - and the fact that she likes pumpkin flavor desserts. The dessert was really good, and we kept the cup - brought it home and displayed at home with our other Halloween decorations - and we got so many compliments on it from visitors! They all thought it was the cutest thing. Didn't cost much - I think the dessert was 6.95, which is not much more than a pastry at Blue Ribbon ... and it was the best souvenir

Well, I know I will end up making it a point to collect them. Not only will I enjoy the dessert, but to bring something home to remind me of it is only going to ensure that I will collect them! I can see myself every year waiting for the next issue and planning my trip around it. I can just see myself driving my DH crazy with my obsession.

Oh... when reading Mouseplanet's Disneyland list of upcoming events, there was a mention of an Annual Passholder's early shopping day on December 4. I am going to be staying on property for that very same weekend. I never knew that they had an early shopping day for Annual Passholders. Does anyone else know about this event?

 

[joeysmommy]

I received a pin code email a few days ago, called to book a trip in December and all three hotels are booked Dec 12,13.
So I called BWPPI and booked a mini suite since Hojo's is also booked

Those emails really work..we just went for the Halloween trick or treat party and here I am checking jetblue for cheap flights!

Yay! Can't wait! Just me and my boys

I read the same thing on mouseplanet.com that AP get to shop early at the WOD store on that day. They did the same last year when I was at DL during the Holiday season. I believe it was on December 12, 2009 when they had the AP early shopping day. Most of the products that were on sale were a lot of random merchandise that are old products, like the D23 merchandise items that were on sale at the store. Not only just the AP holders are allowed to shop early at the WOD store, but the D23 Card holders are allowed to shop at the store on the same day as the AP holders. Here is the link http://d23.disney.go.com/articles/110210_NF_BN_WorldofDisneyDiscount.html

 

[funatdisney]

Thank you Bret for the information. I am not a D23 member yet. ( I have asked for a membership for Christmas) It sounds like I will be there if they will open it to APs, since I will be staying at the VGC that weekend.
