Tom Bell of DIS Unplugged did a blog about the It's a Small World Holiday Wreaths -- HERE.
Nancy Johnson of DIS Unplugged did a blog about the same IASWH wreaths 3 years ago -- HERE (which I have linked on page 1) -- the wreaths have not changed (as far as I can tell, except maybe to be spruced up a bit), but Nancy's blog has some extra details and info.
One blog shows 13 wreaths and one of them shows 14 wreaths?? When I have photographed the wreaths in the past, I think I counted 14 of them as well -- but I have not taken any photos of them this year so far, so I don't know if one of the wreaths has gone missing since I last checked?
That's one thing I always look out for with every new holiday season (or Halloween Time) -- which decorations and details have stayed the same and which ones have changed! The Enhancement Team cannot slip anything past me, so if they remove something I will know it! If a wreath disappears from one year to the next, I will know it. If the details in the garland on the Little Mermaid ride façade are now consistent with/complementary to the decorations on the Christmas tree inside Ariel's Grotto, I see it right away! If a holiday window display suddenly pops up in Hollywood Land, I will zero right in on it! If Roger Rabbit is suddenly facing forward -- when he used to be turned sideways -- in his wreath above Car Toon Spin in Toontown, I will know.
There are details that I may not see because I don't know they exist in the first place, but if anything changes/decreases/increases from what it was in prior years, I will catch it! 
Remember, everyone, if you are coming back from holiday trips and have brief reports, recaps or reviews/thoughts you'd like to share, or if you do the holiday tour and want to give your review, please post those thoughts/recaps here, in addition to wherever else you post them (Trip Reports, separate threads, etc.), and I will link the posts in the corresponding sections on page 1 (for example, I am going to link Misskitty3's recap in the Trip Reports/Reviews section of page 1). And when I say post "here," I mean in this actual thread.
For one thing, there are some people who only subscribe to this thread and don't necessarily follow other threads, and they will miss your wonderful recaps and mini-reviews if you only post elsewhere. Secondly, I'm not going to go hunting around the forum to find separate threads as they drift off into the murky depths of the archives over time, and it's easier for me to locate things and sort of assemble them if they are in one central spot/thread that is a permanent fixture on our forum (such as this Superthread).
Also, we have over 215,000 views of this thread -- and Disney is aware of this thread as well, as it is an active place for discussion about the Holidays -- so this location is a good one for your reviews and recaps to possibly be 'seen.' Not to mention that if you have come here and learned from this thread, enjoyed this thread, taken away information and details from this thread, planned your trips based on what you have learned or seen in this thread, it would be great for you to come back to this thread and fill us in on how your trips went! 
In the Halloween Time Superthread many people came back and shared their MHP reviews and overall thoughts (even if they posted reports and recaps in other places too), and it worked out very well because everyone was posting in one place and it was easier for me to organize the MHP reviews. If those reviews/recaps (both brief and detailed) had been scattered around the forum, a lot of them would have been overlooked because I wasn't going to go off in search of them.
Maybe for the scent of Cinnamon, could it be that the Skipper, will have some way of dispersing the scent, to the boat?? It makes more sense, with an outdoor ride... so the passengers will for sure smell it?
Happy it's not Fruitcake scent!
I cannot wait to see it/experience it, I was kind of let down, after waiting in the que for over an hour! I got the pics from upstairs.... but was disappointed in the ride... I am excited to see it this year, and the changes!

You could be right -- it may be that the skippers trigger something or otherwise 'release the scent' so that it hits the boat or wafts around inside the boat. It does seem like wind or rain could interfere with scent issues, so they must have it worked out in some scientific way!
Maybe now that they have added all of the extra things to the ride, I will actually get to see the upstairs portion of the queue!
It's not that I welcome the idea of standing in a long line, but I don't want to miss certain parts of the decorations.
I absolutely love seeing the pictures, and getting all of the details. We've only been to DLR a couple of times, and never at this time of year. We're so looking forward to it, and this thread is telling me all of the things not to miss, whether it be in words or pictures. (I haven't played any videos though.) I'm the planner, and want to make sure that our family experiences all of the highlights. I would be very disappointed to find out afterwards that we missed something that I wasn't aware of.
My joy will be seeing our grandchildren enjoy all of the holiday happenings on their 1st DLR trip.....and sharing it with them, our daughter, and my husband. Thanks to Sherry, and everyone else on this thread for helping me plan this wonderful trip.
disneygrandma --
Thank you for the kind words
-- and I'm so glad that this thread has been helpful in pointing out what not to miss, etc.
You pinpointed exactly why I put all of this info and all of these photos 'out there' -- because I have been in situations before when I have come back from a location and discovered that I missed seeing or doing something I really would have loved to do, simply because I didn't know it existed. In some cases, I might be able to return to the location in the future and have another shot at doing or seeing whatever I missed the first time, and in other cases I would probably not be going back again -- at least not for decades.
I want to make sure that people are armed with info -- both in print and visually, through photos -- so they know which things to make a priority and which things they can skip, etc. If they don't want to know or see too many things for fear of spoiling the surprise -- which I totally understand as well -- then it's good to just kind of ignore the photos and pop in every now and then.
I think your grandchildren will have an amazing time that they will never forget, and your heart will be filled with joy and when you see how much fun they have, and how beautiful everything is. The combination of the magic of Disney and the magic of the holidays will be wonderful for them.
My grandmother was the main person responsible for me ever going to
Disneyland in the first place (back in 1972 or possibly the year before), and for becoming a Disney fan. Even though I don't think she had any interest in Disney herself -- and she had quite a miserable time trying to get in the moving Haunted Mansion Doom Buggies -- she went along on the trips because she wanted to be there to see me have fun and enjoy myself, pose for photos with characters, romp around on Tom Swayer's island, etc. I am forever grateful that she introduced me to something that would ultimately be a lifelong love and passion of mine. Hopefully your grandchildren will have the same experience!
Is that not the whole point of this thread "spoilers" showing what people can expect for the Christmas season there?
petals --
Your trip is fast approaching! I can't wait to get the review/recap when you return!
Tomorrow is the tree lighting and taping of a TV special at The Grove (next to the Farmers Market). That means that the fireworks will be going off somewhere between 9:20 and 9:40 p.m. They've got a fun overhead Santa/reindeer display very similar (but not identical) to the one in Hollywood Land, in DCA -- be sure to get a photo of it when you're there on your tour!
I agree. I feel like I would miss half of what's out there if I didn't hear about it here first.
Janet --
I have been enjoying and experiencing the Holidays at Disneyland Resort for decades at this point, and I still feel like I miss a lot of things!
There are so many details, and so many things to see, that I think it's almost impossible to take everything in.
Another DIS'er (and friend),
Mariezp -- who seems to have disappeared from this forum -- has a tradition of visiting DLR for 2 weeks at a time over the holidays (usually in November). Two full weeks! And even she has said that she comes back having missed out on a lot of things, or missed out on very specific things. A 2-week trip isn't even enough to see and do everything, because plans end up changing while they're there, or someone gets sick, or unexpected events pop up, etc.
By the way, I read in your TR about the kitty. I'm so sorry about that!
Pets are family.
We've got a trip planned to Trader Joes tomorrow. Can't wait to see the seasonal selection.
