Disneyland at Christmas/Holiday Season Superthread #4

[Sherry E]

Denise --

You've got another entry into the random draw! I love the little train under the tree! It's so cute.

Are the treat photos from Buena Vista Street or Hollywood Land (there's no way to tell)?

Sherry, when will you at Disneyland again this year? We added on to our trip and will now be arriving in So Cal Dec 6, staying with my bestie for 3 nights, and then moving to the GCV for 6 nights. Do we overlap at all?

Jenny --

Wow! That's a nice long holiday trip! So it will be a total of 9 days? Wow! Well, at least you know you will be away from snow (which I know you are sick of!) for over a week!

While I have not yet set dates, based on my habits -- if I were a betting woman -- I would say that we will most likely overlap! I would probably try to get there for the second night of the CP (which is 12/7), and then stay on for a few days. That's what I did last year, and after I met Janet/mom2rtk on my first day, I ended up running into her 2 more times during the week.

I'm like a bad penny that way.

I hope we get a chance to run into you again this year!

Ok, great. Keep me posted! We have to meet and share a holiday treat. We won't start the Disney portion until 12/9 but we won't have to use one of our 5 Disney days to visit the beach now as we'll do it before we arrive at the GCV. I am a happy happy girl. The only not great part is that we'll drive straight through both ways but really, nobody wants to stop in Vegas as we'll have been there over Thanksgiving weekend for soccer. Just get us to Anaheim! The trip will be 10 days if you count drive time.

One day Sherry it will be nice to be able to meet you at the parks. It is so neat to be able to meet other DISers at the parks during the holiday season.

A few from the inside of the BVS stores.

Here's the big picture on the treats. You're right, they could have been anywhere. But you can see the sign in the back on the right.

KCmike……the first picture of Carthay Circle you posted, is breathtaking! Thank You!

Santa?!?!

I have a couple that I can use this week! These theme weeks are making me realize that I need to pay more attention to taking pictures of everything around me.





This one was taken in Hollywoodland during the same trip, and even though there aren't any decorations, I just love it. DS was SO excited!

Thanks so much! It's one of favorites from our Holiday trip last year as well.

Sherry E...thanks for the well wishes for missing this Holiday trip. I've been very blessed and I hope to see my happy place next summer for the big anniversary instead.

 

[dec2009mama]

here are my pics for this weeks theme!!!

 

[PixiDustDears]

Most of mine are photopass+ pictures (which I love!). I had decided that I wanted to put down the camera and be a part of the pictures for this trip.

 

[rentayenta]

I'm am loving everyone's photos. Its amazing how beautiful the parks are during the holidays.

 

[kylie71]

KC Mike, Beautiful as always! I am really Enjoying all the BVS photo's!!

Thank you everyone for posting these great pictures!

I'm a bit late to the weekly party. We were away driving our son to his new job in Texas. Somehow again my notifications stopped for a bit and then magically reappeared right as I would have gone searching for this thread.

Sherry I too am incredibly saddened by the passing of Robin Williams.

I will upload my pics to Photobucket to night to be ready to post. Hard to believe last December was our first look at Carsland and BVS.

I've logged all of the recent entries, from ashnjam's photos yesterday to Amanda's photos today, and everyone has another entry into the random draw!

I'm going to start posting fewer photos in my intros to the theme weeks/days -- like maybe just 3 or 4 per theme week/theme day! For one thing, it will save me loads of time to just pick a few pictures instead of spending hours trying to decide which 25 photos to use!

Also, most importantly, I don't think it's necessary for me to post a lot this year because everyone seems to be getting the hang of what kinds of photos to use, whereas in the past it may have been more necessary at times for me to show some ideas/suggestions.

So, if you notice that my intro posts suddenly have only a couple or few photos in them from this point forward, you'll know why! It's not that I don't have the photos to post (on the contrary -- I take thousands of pictures, which is why I can do these Countdowns and break everything up into different themes), but I am just saving myself a lot of time and leaving room for our participants to figure out what to contribute!

Great plan! Free yourself up to enjoy the fruits of your labor

Hi, TK!

I remembered reading in a different thread that you had to go out of town, so I figured you might be a bit late in your post. It's still early yet -- we're only at Wednesday!

I hope your son has an awesome experience with his Texas job, though I'm sure you will miss him tremendously.

I'm glad you saw my Robin Williams comment. (I didn't think anyone paid attention to my post that referenced his passing.) It's such a tragic situation, isn't it? And so very, very sad and unnecessary.

Great plan! Free yourself up to enjoy the fruits of your labor

Yeah. I don't know about the fruits of my labor but...it's just a lot of time spent, and I don't think it matters (sharing my pictures, that is).
