disney at christmas

[Sherry E]

Hi

Can someone please explain to me what the Annual Passholder sale day thingy is?

Do the shops just open earlier for AP holders to do some shopping or do they get some additional special discounts or what?

Thanks

I haven't done one of these events myself, but from what I've read from other people on this board, the AP holders not only get into the store earlier than the general public but there is usually a hefty discount - in some cases the discount can be as much as 75%!!!!!!

This explains the super-long line of people I saw outside of World of Disney last December! It was that huge discount they were all waiting outside for.

Woohoo!!! That's exciting because I now have an AP

Not excited about the crowds though Might just play that one by ear - if we get there and it looks do-able we might go have a squiz if not we will just keep walking.

Is it just usually at the one store or at all of them?

Hello All
This maybe a silly question does Disneyland sell Christmas cards
Thanks

If you go back into this thread, I believe wheres_my_prince, posted a picture of holiday merchandise that had a set of Christmas cards. I'll see if I can find it.

Trying to decide if it is worth flying or driving. More $$ but more time @ DLR. We are looking at Dec 10-12. Yea for Candy Canes!!!!
Maybe I will join in on the Wreath Quest!

Just like what Sherry said about the AP shopping in December. AP holders get to shop early at the WoD store on December 4th and can get discounts price as high as 75%. Most of the products that are on sale at the WoD store during the AP sale is mostly old merchandise. You can still buy the regular products at the store, but most of products at the store are at the same price. I remember last years AP sale that the store had the D23 Expo merchandise. Also the first 1,000 WoD shoppers will receive a complimentary gift.

It was a long wait and I waited 1 hour in line last December to get into the store during the AP shopping sale. Also on December 4th during the AP sale, D23 member card holders are allowed to shop at the WoD store just as the AP holders.

Okay, who's ready for some photos?

This will be the first of 4 posts. Chances are, one or more of these posts will probably be bumped to the next page, but I'll put "Post #1," “Post #2” or whatever the number in the sequence is so you will know that there may be something on the previous page.

So this is Post #1.

Part of the time, I was just taking random crowd scenes here and there, with no real point of interest, as well as some purposeful shots. I wasn’t really making this a ‘Let’s get the best, most perfect photos’ trip. That will be my next trip in December, hopefully. Yesterday, I was just quickly pointing and shooting at any old random thing.


The crowds on Main Street didn't look too bad early in the day...

Sherry's Wreath Quest Entry: The lovely wreath at Carnation Cafe. I love the deep red of the flowers (are those supposed to be carnations?) in the wreath:

IASW Holiday:

Not nearly as pretty in the daytime as it is at night or inside the ride, but pretty nonetheless!

This guy is wrapped in lights, but it just doesn't look right in the daytime:

Wreath Quest:

Wreath Quest:

This is the area where you are supposed to start smelling the peppermint, but there was no peppermint yesterday:

Random crowd shot – you can’t see the 40-minute line for IASW Holiday in this photo:

Aha…now it’s starting to get really crowded…

Post #4 –

Tree Quest!

Fireworks!

Tree Quest!! (Kylie71 – this is the ‘snow-covered' Main Street tree)

I don’t think these candy trees count as Tree Quest…or DO they? Muahahahahahaha!!

Tree Quest!!

That’s pretty much it until I get back to DLR in December!!

Great pics Jasmine and Sara.

Great pics Jasmine, Thanks!!

thanks!!!

Very nice pics Sherry.

Great pics of the Holiday ornaments and the Holiday pins. This will help me choose my Holiday pins when I go to Dl in just a few days. The D23 IASWH pin looks really good. Is the price of the D23 IASWH pin around $19.95?

And it looks like from the pics of "A Christmas Fantasy" parade that you took that night. I would guess that you seen the 2nd show and watch it from the bottom part of the Hub right in the middle of the Plaza Inn & Pavilion.

I was amazed by the "Believe...In Holiday Magic" firework pictures. They looked really cleared and are amazing.

I enjoyed all your pics at DL this weekend and hope you have a magical time during your visit at DL in December.
