Disneyland at Christmas/Holiday Season Superthread #2 (Closed)

Well looks like someone beat me to it. Sorry, the site didn't open for me for ages.

The dessert inside is some peppermint-chocolate mousse. My friend liked it a lot - she actually only volunteered to sacrifice herself that I could get the cup (I hate peppermint with a passion) and in the end said she was glad she did try it.

We got it at Café Orleans by the way, and I think I saw signs for it at the Blue Ribbon Bakery too.

We also got the Mickey demitasse at cafe Orleans with the peppermint-chocolate mousse and a biscotti. I saw them in the bakery and asked what was in it and was told it was a chocolate peppermint cupcake. (I should buy one just to see if it different ). They also have them advertised at the carnation cafe.

We also tried gingerbread Beignets at cafe Orleans with an eggnog dipping sauce. They were delicious!

Hello, everyone! Your fearless leader in all things Disneyland during the holidays (that would be yours truly!) is finally making her own trip to DLR! I should be there in less than 44 hours!

I stopped looking at all holiday photos from this year's season - not because I think that there will be any big surprises (I've seen mostly everything), but because I want to kind of wipe the slate clean before I get there and trick myself into thinking I am seeing it all for the first time!

It's been a stressful road in getting this trip off the ground - frankly, I cannot believe it's been just under a year since my last holiday extravaganza. Honestly, I don't think I will have much solo time or even time to breathe for several days! But it will be a trip full of activity - old friends, new friends, character meals, the parade, World of Color, Candlelight Processional crowds...and all kinds of madness - and hopefully, with any luck, lots of photos!!

It will be hard to top my photo mission from last year and I don't think I have the time for that even if I could top myself - but knowing myself, there will be photos taken here and there anyway!

Oh - and there may be a gingerbread cookie with mouse ears and some peppermint ice cream thrown in to the mix as well!

I'll be back on here in full swing after next Thursday! Hold down the fort for me! Stay tuned for my TR ("Return to the Cone of Death"), coming soon!

Ho ho ho!!

Sherry, I was wondering where you've been. I started my trip report. I took a bazillion pics and when DH asked if it was for my trip report, I said: hell to the yeah!

Tom,
I just commented on it and favorited it! You have such a great eye for the art of photography. I have enjoyed your pics of WDW for a while now, and was very excited when I saw you were making another trip to Disneyland--because I knew it meant some great pictures were coming. This video is really something special.

Looking forward to reading your updates.

I love this! I'll have to get one when we're there. I know my daughter will sacrifice herself and eat that for me.

Totally incredible. You are so talented that it's mind-boggling. Do you make a cameo in a plaid shirt at the end?
This somehow managed to cram all of the Disney magic into a two minute video. I laughed out loud several times.

Thanks for the Demitasse pix! But dangit! That's the same as last year's. And I guess the peppermint mousse is still the same, too. Ohwell. It's still cute.

Wow! The parks were so crowded today. Rides kept breaking down. At one time Space mountain pirates, btmrr, buzz, and indy all at the same time. Earlier all week the crowds were so low. Did not even need fast passes.
