Jenny --

You won't miss it -- it's part of the Viva Navidad food offerings, and that will be happening when you're there!

Say what?! I must have misread. I saw Eve/Day! Woot! I'm excited to try it. I really like pozole. There is a little Mexican market here with sort of a counter for dining and they make the best I've ever had.


We're getting so close! The holidays are almost here.

I know that I had read a section that had the "confirmed" and "not yet confirmed" activities, entertainment, etc. But now I can't find it. Would some one please direct me to it?

Thank you!

Does anyone know if World of Color: Winter Dreams will be up and running the weekend of Nov 15-16. I know the disneyland website still says just world of color but I also heard that all the Christmas stuff should be ready by the 13th. I know the post at the beginning of this thread says probably beginning Nov 13, wasn't sure if anything was confirmed yet! Have yet to see that one and would love the full Xmas experience!

I'm looking at the DL site and seeing that MuppetVision 3D, Storybook Canal, and Casey Jr are all going to be in refurb the week before Christmas?

The hours still aren't up, but I do see that info.

Absolutely beautiful photos, Orbitron and blackjackdelta!!

I think that the pozole is only available at Rancho del Zocalo in DL for Christmas Eve and Day, but it's available in DCA for Viva Navidad all holiday season long.

disneygrandma --

marlana323 linked you to the correct post of the Official/Unofficial info that we know so far.

I have also added a link to that post in the Dates/Days/Events to Remember section of page 1 as well, just so it will always be easy to find.

Welcome to the Superthread!

marlana323 --

Yes, indeed! Correct link! And it's now linked through the Dates to Remember post on page 1 as well, so we/I can't lose track of it!

hclifford --

Welcome! The holiday season is officially beginning one week from today, so if Winter Dreams didn't begin on 11/13 it would most likely begin on 11/14. (Last year it began on the first Friday after the holidays had already begun.) I am certain that it will be going on during your 11/15 - 11/16 dates, as that's a weekend and a lot of people will be there.

Briarmom --

Well, most likely, MuppetVision is going down for the rumored Frozen sing-along deal that is supposed to be installed there (which is supposedly all part of a Frozen takeover of Hollywood Land in DCA, not scheduled to open until December 20). None of this has been announced or publicized by Disney, of course -- and that is important to reiterate -- but this has been the big rumor swirling around for a while now (courtesy of MiceAge).

The Storybook Land Canal boats and Casey Jr. close every year -- but they used to close in November and then open for Thanksgiving and stay open for the rest of the holiday season. Last year and this year the closures have been different. Last year, SBL closed in November, opened in time for Thanksgiving weekend, and then closed again. It didn't open until mid-December.

My personal hunch is that -- and this is not a rumor, and is certainly not anything official whatsoever -- the SBL ride is going to have a new addition. Probably a mini-Arendelle. I am thinking that a mini-Frozen something-or-other is going to be thrown into the SBL ride (maybe even a mini-Ice Palace), and it will be timed to open when the other Frozen stuff opens in Hollywood Land, so Disney can put out a press release and a Parks Blog or two, announcing all of the new Frozen additions to the parks.

I could be totally wrong and way off base, but that's my hunch.

Are the mini themes still going on? I see people posting photos, but I don't see the post for the theme (and I'm probably totally missing it!). I'm so behind in this thread!

The mini-themes are over. I was waiting and waiting for you to post for the Candlelight Ceremony & Processional mini-theme this past Sunday, and you never did!

Right now we are in the final "Holiday Cornucopia (A Few of My Favorite Things)" theme week (through Sunday, 11/9), and I'll choose the 2 gift card winners on the morning of 11/10. The Theme Week Intro post is -- HERE.

Thank you! So sorry! Weekends have been crazy for us lately. We are in the middle of renovating/painting/DIY and trying to get it done before our Dec trip. I didn't even see on Sunday

ambarano --

I don't think anything is fully updated into February yet (though I could be wrong), but wdwinfo.com (our parent website) has a list of ride closures that may help a little bit -- HERE.

I just booked the Holiday Tour for December 5! I can't believe I forgot to do it yesterday! I still got the time I wanted so it is all good. I am very happy they offer a 20% discount with my Disney Visa. That leaves more money for goodies!

Tracy --

That's great! One more thing out of the way, right?

Did you see my "review"/reply to you after I finally sat down to watch One Starry Christmas -- HERE?

Somehow I am sensing that this coming Saturday's movie on Hallmark -- The Nine Lives of Christmas -- won't be that great. For one thing, I don't really like the guy in it. Another issue is that often times I don't like "pet movies." I love animals, but movies that feature too many scenes with the pets usually annoy me (except for in rare circumstances).

There's another Hallmark pet movie coming up soon -- The Christmas Shepherd -- and still another one, One Christmas Eve.

Too many pet movies. I prefer the nice holiday-comedy-romance movies, or the movies with the kindly nanny/housekeepers, or the movies in which someone gets hold of a bit of magic and uses it for the wrong reasons, which means the magic goes awry. I also like the movies where the leads have to swap houses.

I even like the movies in which curmudgeonly people end up in some town that is 100% drenched in Christmas, much to their annoyance.

The pet movies bore me, though.

So, for this weekend's brand new holiday fare, I am holding out hope for Hallmark's A Cookie Cutter Christmas on Sunday, 11/9, and Naughty & Nice on the UP Channel (on Sunday afternoon, 11/9), starring Haylie Duff and Maureen McCormick.

And... Snow Bride is on tonight -- finally! I think that Let it Snow is on tomorrow! A Very Merry Mix-Up is on over the weekend!
