I believe they are going for $13.95 each. Unfortunately those were done on the day I arrived, so by the time I made it to the parks, the wristbands were all gone.

I agree with you.....not sure I would eat it......lol

Can't wait to post some pictures when I get back. I absolutely loved the Toy Soldier Show in front of ISASW, and the Holiday Tour. We are at WDW now. I want to do a combined trip report after I get back tomorrow. I think I am going to need a few days to rest after our coast to coast trips. Only been home four days this month, but it has been all worth it. I want to thank all you guys for convincing me to do DLR for Christmastime this year (all due to this thread SHERRY). It has been an amazing two and a half weeks.

Thank you so much for the shout out, dalstitch45! I'm so glad that this thread (and I!) helped you in some small way as you prepared for your DLR Christmas time trip!

I'm sure you will need rest when you get back from WDW, but I think it's safe to say that we all look forward to seeing your photos and reading your trip report(s)!

I haven't even posted any photos from my recent holiday trip (nor have I officially begun a trip report)! I'm not sure if anyone has noticed that, but I thought it was funny (and maybe a tad ironic) that the creator of the Christmas Time Superthread has not posted any new photos in it! Well, since last week I have posted random single photos here and there in my "Countdown to Christmas" (in my existing trip report). But there have only been a few.

My holiday trip started off great and was great for a couple of days, but didn't exactly go as planned for a couple of reasons. I got some photos, for sure, but not nearly the massive number of photos I had planned to get (or that I got in 2010). I feel like I let myself down! I feel incomplete. Oh well. There is always next year, I suppose.

But I should eventually get around to posting some of what I took this year, shouldn't I? I got a few good ones here and there. Stay tuned!

The table of contents could use updating.

The table of contents could use updating.

I'm aware of that, perlster, I know what has to be done in my threads! But thanks for pointing it out, though.

People seem to love this thread anyway, even if the ToC needs updating! Please remember that the Table of Contents is not mandatory for any thread, and those of us who have chosen to add ToC's into our threads have done it when we had extra time to devote to it. (There are also various Check-In threads which need to be updated by their OP's and have not been, but they function anyway.) We get the essentials and basics in place, and anything else we can do after that is done as we can fit it in.

I have either not had the time to devote in recent months, or have chosen to focus on other things in this thread to keep it going (such as all my Theme Weeks that I did here for nearly 3 months) - not to mention the fact that I have mainly been waiting to do 'update work' until I get a new computer, because it's very hard for me to do certain things on certain pages of the DIS with the current PC that I have (some of them load much more slowly than others and lock up my PC).

Rest assured, I am very aware of what needs to be done and will be doing it when I can. I have big plans and ideas for the Superthreads in 2012!

Sherri, you are my hero. Thank you for this thread and all the tips. We are having the BEST time ever! My family really needed this do-over trip and it is better than we ever could have imagined and I blame you, LOL. Truth is, we are just having a blessed trip (it is my opinion that we have an angel watching over us, but you think what you want and it is wonderful!!! Thanks for all your hard work, all your great pics, and getting us in the spirit.

Merry Christmas to all.

Had the most wonderful time on IASM...We took the tour...would recommend it to everyone...Our tour guide was great. Well we had a little mishap on the IASM ride. We had 15 in our tour group...and to say the least about ten of us were on the Large size! Well we got stuck!!! They took some people out and we moved a bit..but still way over loaded...My sons had to help us through the ride by grabbing the sides outside the boat and pulling us through!! It was a ride to remember
Few more pictures of our trip

Front seat on the monorail! What a great view!

 

[aidensmom31]

OMG! Only 1 days and I get to see all of this

 

[tksbaskets]

Oh my, my favorite thread had disappeared off the first pages. It's still Christmastime at Disneyland!

pattyduke34 your pictures are wonderful but I especially love your family photo at DCA with Santa. As a mother of almost grown men (ask me any given day) it's wonderful to see adult families enjoying family time.

We leave in three days!! It was 22 today in Michigan. We're looking forward to the California weather.

 

[DizNee Luver]

Ok, now that I have Day two of my TR done, I'll share a few of my fav pics!!

The new monorail slides at the DLH:

Close up of DLH tree in the Fantasy tower/main lobby:

Piddle!!! Over my limit on photobucket......give me a few to figure this out......lol

 

[DizNee Luver]

I didn't realize sharing an already uploaded pic would put me over the limit.....I just lost 700 or so photos on my trip report.........ugh....they'll come back but not until mid January......rats!!

Anywho's......here's my other photobucket acct & some more of Day two:

Small World Holiday:
