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

I believe he also uses a filter to make the lights have a star effect.

Nope. That's a result of the aperture used.

So much for me to learn Tom.

Yahoo! I just finished our reservation for December 30 - January 7!

We are staying at the Staybridge Suites. We've never been but have read good things and love thaving a separate bedroom/living room. This will allow us to put the kids to bed and still have some time for ourselves too. If anyone else has stayed there I would love to hear their feedback.

I've already made our reservation for Goofy's dinner on New Year's Eve. I pre-paid for a second character meal. Debating which location. We've been to Minnie's and loved it but thought it might be neat to try someplace else. Recommendations?

I've been debating doing the holiday tour. I really want to do it but I am worried that my little ones (both under 3) won't enjoy it and may make it unenjoyable for me too. It may be something we will just have to do once the kids are older.

So excited!

In just four hours from now, we'll be on a plane headed to Orange County! We'll be at the Disneyland Hotel in time for the fireworks tonight.

I have the great honor of introducing my four year old granddaughter to Disneyland tonight. I've been telling her about it since she was born, and she's been counting down the days for months. Yeah, I'll probably cry a little, but that's okay.

I'll post a mini-trip report and any cool photos when we get back Sunday night.

We will be at DL about the same time. We have done the holiday tour and have to tell you the little ones did not seem to be enjoying it. Most of the tour is narrated and we used headphones to hear our guide. The little ones had a VERY hard time keeping the head sets on. Mostly looked around while we were entertained by the guide.

Now the reserved seating for the parade would have made the tour worth while for me if my kids were young plus the priority boarding on IASWH and HMH (which may freak your 3yo out).

Things to consider....

If a picture of the empty one will do I will snap one for you tonight. It is Santa Mickey, but I was told it's different.
