Its Monday -- and its time for the Theme Week Countdown!!
With each new week will come a different Disneyland Resort holiday theme!
As I have previously mentioned in this Superthread, Ill be showcasing a particular aspect of DLR's holiday celebration each week until early November. There are still many more themes to come over the next six weeks, including 6 main weekly themes (a new one every Monday through October 28, 2013); 6 mini-themes which will be featured each day from 10/29/13 11/3/13, and a final Holiday Cornucopia theme on Monday, November 4th (there will be more details about what the Cornucopia can include when we get closer to that date!).
Theme Week Countdowns are a great way to keep the photos rolling in on a regular basis and build anticipation for November at the Disneyland Resort! They are also a way to display the different elements, nuances and details of the Holidays at DLR that may be totally new to some visitors...or previously unnoticed/undiscovered by others. Finally, this is an excellent way for our Theme Week Countdown participants to shine a light on their wonderful photos and attract visitors to their Trip Reports, blogs, etc.
Last week, we caught a glimpse of the special holiday offerings at the three Hotels of the Disneyland Resort. We have also visited the playful, animated, off-kilter world of Mickeys Toontown. We have reveled in the pageantry of A Christmas Fantasy Parade and gazed in awe at the Believe In Holiday Magic Fireworks. We have strolled along Main Street to soak in its small town holiday charm, and onward to the sparkling Sleeping Beautys Winter Castle, resplendent in snow and icicle lights. We have enjoyed the Yuletide season around the world as we sailed through Its a Small World Holiday. We have journeyed down the mystical, musical alleys of New Orleans Square and enjoyed Christmas with a Mardi Gras twist, including balconies draped in beads and lampposts adorned with mysterious masks. We have paid a visit to New Orleans Squares most famous residence and met its temporary houseguest, Jack Skellington, as he attempted to put a bit of a nightmarish Halloween spin on the Yuletide season in Haunted Mansion Holiday. Of course, we kicked off this years Theme Week Countdown with the many different types of themed Christmas Trees and Wreaths around Disneyland Resort.
So what will be our eighth theme of 2013? Today, we grab our boots and hats and mosey on down to Frontierland to enjoy the season, cowboy-style, and we also pay a visit to a jolly jamboree, where you will find Santa as well as an array of charming decorations and reindeer motif.
!
When you enter Frontierland, you are instantly transported to the Old West. From the horseshoe imprints in the cement to the craggy peaks of Big Thunder Mountain, to the faint strains of banjo music that are difficult to trace, the moment you step into this land evocative of whippoorwills and weeds, Sarsaparilla and saloons, you feel you have gone back to a rustier, dustier moment in time. The code word is: toys. Add in a little dash of the holidays, and you are in for a rollicking, rootin tootin celebration!!
In Frontierland, ambient Christmas music is infused with a special twang and it is not uncommon to hear Country-Western inspired renditions of Deck the Halls or Winter Wonderland as you roam around.
Just a whisper away from the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is the Jingle Jangle Jamboree (formerly called Santas Reindeer Round-Up). Filled with rustic wagons overflowing with stuffed animals and presents, an assortment of Christmas trees large and small, reindeer décor and countrified Christmas touches, the Jamboree is a gem and a true highlight of the holidays at Disneyland Resort!
The lively Billy Hill & the Hillbillies have held court at the Golden Horseshoe for years, entertaining guests with their bluegrass holiday spectacular, but as of 2012 they were relocated to a new home at the Jingle Jangle Jamboree to pluck out some foot-stompin Yuletide tunes.
Santa Claus and several familiar Disney characters can also be found at the Jamboree, and guests can decorate cookies or participate in festive crafts as they, perhaps, snack on their candy cane cotton candy.

Please feel free to post your photos of Frontierland and the Jingle Jangle Jamboree/Santas Reindeer Round-Up all this week, through Sunday, September 29th.
Then, stay tuned for our ninth theme on Monday, September 30th!! We still have many great themes coming up in future weeks, so get your photos ready!

Which was quite the disappointment, even though I love regular cotton candy.
