Disneyland at Christmas/Holiday Season Superthread #4

[mvf-m11c]

Thanks for the quick reply Sherry! Another question, I just checked out the link you posted about the snow at Disneyland and it talks about the Fireworks. Are there two different Firework shows at Christmas?

It mentions Believe in Holiday Magic and Believe in Holiday Wishes? Im assuming that is just a typo?

Do you know when the Winter Castle lighting show starts to happen?

Thanks!

Just as Sherry said that there is only one holiday firework show at DL called "Believe...In Holiday Magic" fireworks. There is another firework show at the MK at WDW during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party called "Holiday Wishes" fireworks which you might be referring to.

I will have to look up the Enchantment Lighting (Castle Lighting) times from last year -- unless someone else here has a handy copy of their 2013 holiday season map or Times Guide and can look them up for us! The lighting happens at least a couple of times per night, as I recall, but I don't remember the exact times. I can find out though (if no one else finds the info)!

I looked at the time guide from last years holiday season and Disney didn't put down the times when "Sleeping Beauty Winter Castle Enchantment Holiday Lighting" show starts at. I remember in the past when I was staking a spot in front of SB Winter Castle for BIHM fireworks, there are at least 2 shows which I know for a fact since they are different. But I did see or hear the show going on before those two. I believe each show starts one hour until the fireworks start at its schedule time. For example if BIHM fireworks start at 9:25pm last show starts at 8:30pm and the second to last show starts at 7:30pm. I believe there are four different shows of SB Winter Castle Enchantment Holiday Lighting every night. I will have to remember during the holiday season this year to see all four different shows.

Here is the one two hours until the firweorks Sleeping Beauty's Winter Castle 11/18/10 1st Show & the second one which is about an hour till the fireworks Sleeping Beauty's Winter Castle 11/18/10 2nd Show

I finally found the Disneyland Hotel Thanksgiving Dinner on the Disneyland website: https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disneyland-hotel/disneyland-hotel-thanksgiving-dinner/. The last time you can select there is 6.00 p.m.!

It's about time that they put this on the website. Thanks for sharing.

Cool! We have Smith's here which is owned by Kroger. The mega one I am thinking of use to be a Fred Meyer. I'm going to check today on my lunch break.





The photos are fantastic everyone- really putting me in the spirit. The sudden 30* drops in temp aren't hurting either.

Disney finally updated their website with this year's holiday offerings. The only new info that we don't already know is that olafs ice rink will be open Monday to Thursday from 3:00-10:30, and Friday, Saturday, Sunday from 3:00-11:30. Also, carolers will be in downtown disney December 5th and the 16th through the 25th. The anaheim ballet will be performing scemes from the nutcracker on December 5th and 19th. No news yet about the holiday tour.

Not sure how many of these are duplicates...

 

[Brunolvr]

WOW! I can't believe all the different Christmas trees. Can't wait to see them all just 2 months from today when we arrive at the DLH!

If you had to guess, how many Christmas trees would you say there are in total? at Disneyland, at California Adventure, at the hotels & in downtown Disney???

 

[CassieF]

So I browsed through the first page but not the whole thread....quick question about characters. I know the Tremaines are in the holiday parade but a CM at city hall mentioned they all meet during the day by small world during Christmas time... Is that true?

After a little break from all the Christmas preparation, I'm back just in time for my favorite theme. I'm in love with the trees at Disney so I'm really enjoying all of your pictures. Here are a few of mine. I know most of them have probably already been posted by others, but anyway here you go

 

[stubby]

After having passes last year and getting to enjoy so many wonderful times- we are planning a 3 day trip this November 21-23. I am so excited to go back and especially during the holiday season. Can't wait!!!

Were any of you Christmas travelers at DCA on the nights of CP last year? We were at DLR, but not at DCA those nights.

We are considering doing WoC that Saturday night and I am curious how busy the park was.

I didn't have time to post here for the last few days (and, by the way, it's amazing how much chaos can ensue in just a few days -- trouble with my cable company, trouble with my Vons delivery order, trouble with my email, trouble with a problematic neighbor, etc.) but finally found some time tonight.... and then ran into more trouble trying to log into The DIS, due to the dreaded "server is too busy" messages.

I have logged everyone's photo entries into the random draw for the Disney Gift Card giveaway, and the next order of business in this thread will be to go back and comment on or reply to a few things, or answer any questions that were overlooked!

Keep the DLR Christmas Trees and Wreaths photos coming while we are still in the Trees/Wreaths Theme Week! In 3 days we are on to the next theme!

(Oh, and let me mention that I am sooooo glad it's now October!! The fun months of the year -- Oct-Nov-Dec -- are now in full swing!)
