I don't even know what part of DL this was. Does anyone else?

Mainstreet Parade ~ it's fun to see the different swag across the street:

We don't see this float now:

LOVED the NOS canopy of lights.

Ok, here are mine:

"California" letters in front of DCA


Duffy's Spot


Honor Choir in WOC


Old Toon Town Tree


Old Santa M&G spot at Paradise Pier in DCA (does Santa still meet there? I haven't seen him the last two years)


Enchanted Pre-Parade (which was never meant to be long term, but still during the holidays!)


Not holiday specific, but taken in Dec - Ariel's old M&G spot

Great theme. This will take some archive work on my part.

Anybody have any tips for scanning old pics to the computer? Any special program I can use, so they are not so small?

Thanks in advance,

There are printers that have scanners built in so it will be easy to scan old pics and put it on the hard drive. The printers have a program, CD, etc. which comes with the printer or find it online to use when scanning pictures, documents, etc. Mostly scanning pictures, documents, etc. from the scanner/printer doesn't take too much memory. I would look at a printer that has a scanner built into it.

I love this weeks theme! I do not have any far back as the first time I went was in 2005...but here are some of mine

I have not seen Stitch since then..

I should have clarified I meant 2012. If they ever offered packages again i would jump on that ship for the candlelight.

It is so wonderful to see all these pictures. We are getting Super excited for our trip in December. Thank you to all picture posted and to Sherry who makes this thread possible and amazing!

Poor Duffy. He looks so rejected in that photo

 

[figment_jii]

Given that it was a gingerbread house, I'm guessing that even they bring it back, it won't look exactly the same!

This was the gingerbread houses in the Cozy Cone (but I'm thinking they may not be real because they looked awfully similar from 2012 to 2013!).

Storyteller Gingerbread House 2012

The 'better' PPH Tree 2012

All i've got for this one is the DLH gingerbread house from last year (forgive the DTD tree, I collage all my photos instead of uploading one by one):

I miss the CA letters!

That one doesn't count, unfortunately.

I'm pretty sure that the gingerbread castle at the DLH will be back this year. There is no reason to think that it's gone forever. The theme is focused on seasonal things that are gone forever (Holidays Gone By) or old versions of things.

Do you have any photos of Duffy's photo spot from last year? He's gone forever. What about the Honor Choir segment of Winter Dreams? What about Billy Hill & the Hillbillies (at the Jingle Jangle Jamboree)? They're gone forever, although the JJJ is still there. What about the gingerbread house in Storytellers Café or in White Water Snacks? Any holiday merchandise that says 2013 would count as well. What about a photo of Candy Corn Acres from Halloween Time in DCA (I'll even allow that because it's gone forever!!)??

Do you have anything along those lines?

I'm thinking about booking the holiday tour, but I have a few questions. Do they charge you right when you book or when you take the tour? Is there any sort of cancellation period or are you locked in? Thanks!

Silly me, I thought they did a different one at the DLH each year. You are so nice to point out other options! No duffy, but I do have the Hillbillies (forgot about them being gone)... bottom pictures of the collage

I thought we did take pics of the Storytellers gingerbread house, but it must not have made my final cut of pictures to edit and post on our website, lol.

Hi,
I paid when I booked then picked up the tickets when we got to the park. I know the castmember went over the cancellation policy with me but I don't recall what it was.

I booked a different tour yesterday, but I am sure the rules are the same for all the tours. I had to pay when I made the booking and was told that it is non-refundable.

We've only been once to the (modern) holidays at DLR; I went in 1985 but have no idea if my parents took any pictures of anything holiday-ish (if DL even had holiday decor then!)

I can't remember if I shared the now-gone reindeer when I shared my Reindeer Round-Up pics already:



This was at the entrance in Nov 2011, and it hasn't been there since...not sure that it's very "holiday" though:



Toontown Morning Madness (with some holiday decorations in the background)



And lastly, Phineas & Ferb's Rockin' Holiday Party, which I've heard is no more.



I will say, I've been taking notes this year of all the themes, so when we go in December I'll make sure to take specific pictures
