Disneyland at Christmas/Holiday Season Superthread #4

I can't see Bret's picture either.

Mark Critter Country as a place I have no pictures of and need to visit in December.

I do however pass Grizzly on the way to TSMM!

Today might be your lucky day! Your message reminded me to cancel my reservation at Park Vue Inn, which is right across the street from the entrance on Harbor. I had a family suite booked for Nov 28-Dec 2. I paid $179/nt back in the spring when I booked it, but not sure what the going rate now would be. They just completed renovations of all the rooms, so they look pretty nice now. The family suite has a separate living room with fold-out sofa, kitchen area and bedroom with two queen beds. You do need to go directly to their website or call to book, they are not on any of the travel sites. If you don't need this room then hopefully one of the other DISers can use it!

Thank you! I appreciate it. I'll look into it ASAP

Janet --

A very clever save for the Critter Country picture! Did you miss getting Grizzly Peak photos too (not that GP is a hotbed o' holiday photo opportunities)?

I wonder if we (in SoCal) will get hit with another cold snap in December. It's not consistent. Sometimes it could be 30 degrees at night (like last December) and sometimes it could be 55 degrees. It could be 90 degrees, or 50 degrees, in the daytime! A lot of times we don't get our coldest weather until January or February, but last year it came alone early!

I didn't get a single shot in the GP area. Since it was too cold to ride, we didn't spend much time over there. I'll have to make a point of getting more in these 2 areas next year.

I have a rule. I will withstand one year of uber-cold Disney weather, but I require that it bounce back with stunning sunny and 65 degree weather the next year. So we'll be good. At least it worked out that way from 2010 to 2011 at WDW, so I'm hoping!

I cannot see Brett's picture either, very strange....

I really enjoy the Critter Country photo's, I do not have ANY from Grizzly Peak, but I will when I come back after Thanksgiving weekend!

Thank You Sherry, I really appreciate all you do too, I LOVE this thread!

Thanks for posting this picture, Sherry!!! Rabbit is my absolute favorite and I never knew he wore a Santa hat!

I really need to take more pictures! Found one of DS6 in line for the Pooh ride that was taken last Nov.

I got the last big item for this trip ticked off my to do list today. I got the Holiday tour booked for November 26th. I had always planned to book the earlier tour, but recently had been second-guessing this and wondered if I would prefer watching the parade all lit up. I decided to stick with what I had planned all along. When I rang earlier, she initially tried to offer me the 2:55 tour. My heart just sank. Fortunately she did have a space on the noon tour.

Am I posting this in the wrong thread? Seems like people are just posting photos here. Maybe I should start a new thread? Confused. ???

You're not posting in the wrong thread! I'm sorry your question has gone unanswered - unfortunately, I still can't answer it. The entertainment gets filled sporadically on the calendar, so it's hard to say what to expect in Dec right now.

The photos are are part of contest and there are daily themes this week, which is why it seems it's been taken over by just pictures! There hasn't been a lot released in the way of information, so besides being great to see all the holiday photos, it helps to pass the time between the announcements.

I started a new thread. Thanks.

I started a new thread. Thanks.

Which question didn't get answered, George? I answered you -- HERE -- this morning, as I was looking at my Times Guide from last year.

This is a discussion thread -- and you won't necessarily get the same info outside of the thread that you get inside the thread.

How could this possibly be the wrong thread when it's all about the holiday season at DLR?

ETA: Jamie is correct -- we are finishing up a Theme Week Countdown with photos (which is a contest), which will end with the final theme week starting on Monday -- and it helps to pass the time until there is news. We are here to answer questions and discuss anything about the season you want to discuss. If you haven't noticed, I spend a lot of time giving detailed replies to most people -- and there are plenty of other people here who answer questions too.

I'm sorry - I didn't even see that.

Thanks!

Just wanted to show a pair of shoes that I painted for my upcoming trip it is kinda holiday with the NBC Haunted Mansion layover. I couldn't think of a better place to share them. They took me a month to do and they were the first ones I have ever done. Hope you don't mind me sharing them.

Wow! You did all of that detailed work? That's amazing. How long did it take you to do that? I'd imagine that you have to go really slowly and take your time with it so it doesn't turn into a blurry mess. I am guessing that you must be creative in other ways too -- sketching, art, etc.?

Those are AMAZING! I'm so impressed! And I'm so uncrafty!

Thank you! They took me a month to do, mostly on the weekends. I don't sketch at all but have always been creative. What's better is that they are waterproof just in case.

Thank you so much!

Long story short I was in an accident last year and the results were Traumatic brain injury, Post Concussion and PTSD. I was told to do something like crafting to help calm my brain and cause me to focus on something for an extended period of time. It helped and I really enjoyed painting now. I am also painting another pair for my mom and myself.

Okay... am I the only one who can't view Bret's photo above? All I see is a tiny black box, but no image. This happened with figment_jii's photos for our Treats & Treasures week, too -- I saw the photos when figment_jii first posted them, and then the next time I looked at them I saw the tiny black boxes. I have only tried one browser, though. I wonder if I would be able to view them in a different browser. This is weird, though, because I can always see Bret's photos any other time he posts.

I was gone most of the day today from my computer and I tried to posts my pictures from my phone and it had some problems getting the html code. Now I am back on my computer and I posted my pictures for today's theme week.
