[areweindisneyyet]

I leave in 29 days, yeah out of the thirties. I still wont be at Disneyland for 39 days, but hey out of the forties.

Some trees from around the Disney Resort


Santa's Tree at the Disneyland Hotel

Goofy's Tree outside Goofy's Kitchen

My favourite, I did try to squeeze it in my case:
The Wonder Tower, up close and from a distance. I loved sitting downstairs and looking at it.

New daily theme coming in a minute!

Thanks to everyone who shared their lovely DCA photos and Winter Castle photos over the last couple of days.

Thank you, Bob, for the nice comment! It's fun (but still work!) to keep it going, but I love it!


Circusgirl (Heather) - welcome!! I'm happy to see you here! I wish you were going to be at DLR when I'm there this year - I'd love to meet you again since we didn't get much of a chance to chat last year. But it sounds like we will miss each other.

Hi Sherry! I'm sorry we'll miss each other this time. One of these times I'm sure it will work out! Thanks for all the fantastic holiday cheer!!!!

Thank you so much!

Loving the pictures! Thanks for sharing!

And now for some random qustions..
So Santa Claus can be found in DL at Reindeer Round-Up and in DCA at Paradise Pier, correct? From past experience, what hours on the weekends is he usually there?

Is there anything special for the Holidays at Princess Fantasy Fair? We were just there in October so if we could skip it that would be nice!

Christmas Stockings...when we were there in October there was one or two stockings in on the Christmas store on mainstreet. Will I find more in the shops when we are there next month?

Thanks for your help!

I'll answer the questions that I know:

Yes, Santa can be found at DL at the Reindeer Roundup and in DCL (not sure where) Before Duffy moved in, Santa was in the gazeebo. I don't know if Santa is going to kick Duffy out for the holiday. I also hear Santa makes apperances at the GCH.

At the Roundup, Santa is there continuous throughout the day. He may leave for a "cookie break" for about 15 minutes or so.

Stocking should be in plentiful supply in the little christmas store on main street. You may even find a few in other stores throughout the park.

The Princess Fantasy Fair I can't help you. I don't recall seeing anything overly christmasy there, but things change.

HOLIDAY CHARACTERS!!!​

During the holiday season at Disneyland Resort, sometimes the characters in the parks will dress in Winter sweaters & scarves or Santa Hats – maybe even reindeer ears. Sometimes you can find them around Main Street or in Toontown. Occasionally they will appear in their seasonal outfits at character meals.


Today I am posting mostly my vintage holiday character photos, but please feel free to share any holiday character photos you have from any year the Disneyland Resort!!!!

From 1990 – Santa Goofy used to hang out in Frontierland…and on this day it was cold!
It was only in the 40’s in the daytime and a crisp 30 degrees at night! Brrrr!:

From 1992…

From 1993 & 1994…

See the interesting Christmas tree behind us, in front of the Castle? This was not the Winter Castle in the old days…:

From 2001:

From 2007 – Goofy caught me off guard!:

From 2009:

Stay tuned for another daily countdown mini-theme tomorrow morning…and then we finally wrap up our countdowns and themes on Monday, November 14th!!

ahhhh!! love the pictures. I'm not sure, but this may be my favorite theme yet. --I do enjoy the personal touch of actually getting to see the DIS people along with the theme.

 

[jemilah]

love this theme! I have no idea where most of my pics are but I will keep looking! I cant wait to see the characters dressed in their holiday best

 

[rentayenta]

These were from December 2005 though hard to tell in some of them. Clearly they didn't decorate back then like they do now.

I was a good 30 lb heavier here than currently

New Holiday Phineas & Ferb's Dance Party....

They have changed the P&F Dance party to a holiday theme.
The theme song has new lyrics, the car has snowflakes, presents, a Christmas tree on the hood, etc.
There were four (instead of two) Fireside Girls that had new caps and Holiday merit badges.
Two holiday songs were added to the dances. Very Cute....

New Theme Song:
Turning our beds into dual tobagans
Sliding down a Ski Jump Tower
Making a snowman thats riding a rocket
Giving a Yeti a shower........
