Nothing to See Here...

As always Sherry on your TR great photos of everything that you take when you are walking. You are taking pictures of every small detail at the DLR and are very good. I got to remember when I go to my trip in less than three weeks to take pictures of the little details at the park. The view from the PPH is very nice and it would be nice to stay there one day.

LOVED the TR and all the amazing photos Sherry!!!!!
I think it's so funny how people are always asking you what you're taking pictures of!
It reminds me of the time I went as a babysitter along with another girl that I know, but we aren't super close friends. Anyways, I was taking pictures of the trash cans and she was kinda looking at me like "uhh......?"

DLR has the best garbage cans! I once saw a man spraying them and wiping them down. I love the cleanliness and detail at DLR. I mean, if they take the time to make sure their garbage cans are in good shape and disinfect them, then you can only imagine how the rest of the park is taken care of!

Happy new year!

Thank you for the compliments, Bret! I really appreciate it! I know you'll get all kinds of good details when you're at DLR in a few weeks. It's sort of like starting with a clean slate - all the holiday stuff will be gone and you can focus on the all the details of the parks in their natural state.

I got some stuff that was not holiday-ish, but mostly I was trying to zero in the holiday things because Disney is sneaky and could remove certain holiday things at any time. (We saw what happened with New Orleans Square - one year there's a light canopy; next year...no light canopy!) I hope hope hope I didn't miss my last chance to get holiday photos in A Bug's Land. That's my one regret. They may not have the giant ornaments in ABL in December (I started to say "next year," but then I realized it's 2011 now!). You never know what they will do. That was really the one thing I wanted to get this year that I just didn't have time or energy to make it to.

Thank you, Jillian! Happy New Year to you, too! I'm not done yet, though. You're not getting rid of me that quickly!! I still have allllll of Day 3 to cover. Day 4 won't have too much because that was my last day and I left in the afternoon to go home. Didn't take a lot of pictures that day. But Day 3 is going to cover a lot of territory. This is the Christmas TR that just keeps on going! In the past, my Christmas TR's have not been nearly as long because I didn't take nearly as many photos. Now that I've taken tons of photos (though not as many as DizNee Luver/Laurie has in her TR from 2010 - she has well over 4000 photos in that epic!), the TR is never-ending! You guys will never get rid of me! Muahahahahahahaha!!

But I feel happy with the photos that I took, even though I still missed some things. It caused me to pay attention to many things I probably would have overlooked otherwise. I found lots of little gingerbread people and little cakes and candy houses and things. Lots of really cute Christmas trees - many of them were the tiny ones in window displays or at the Round-Up.

I think it's funny that people keep questioning my photo-taking at DLR too! I couldn't even believe that I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I didn't notice that the same man moved out of my way two times, by two totally different windows! It's mostly men who seem to be perplexed by it all. The women almost seem to understand the photos.

And you're right about the trash cans at DLR!! (Oh no! Have you triggered another Quest? Garbage Quest!) I was totally noticing the ones back near IASW and how they have the cute pastel colors to match the color scheme of IASW. I think one of the photos I posted earlier from DCA (Day 1, I guess) was a close-up of the words Paradise Pier on a trash can! They do have some cute stuff on the cans - I have to agree with you. You can't just overloook them because you might be missing a hidden Mickey or some cute design!!

I can only imagine the looks of confusion on the faces of people if they see someone taking pictures of a garbage can - probably like the girl you went to DLR with! "Uhh...?" If they don't understand window displays or plants or Christmas trees, they won't get the trash can idea, either!!


Anyway, stay tuned because there's lots to come in Day 3 of the TR!

(The only problem is that next holiday season - in December of this year - I will have to find a way to top myself at DLR. I got in-depth with these photos, but I don't know how much I will be able to do of that on the next trip without repeating stuff I already covered. Somehow I have to find some areas that I have not previously explored, but that will be tough. Or I have to just pick a few Quests and only stick to those and nothing else.)

That is my goal when I go to DL in just a few weeks. After seeing all your pics during your TR, I just have to take more pics of the little details of the stores and rides. If you were me when I am going to DL, what you take pictures of during a short trip to DL? I have done everything at DL and I can't wait to go back when ST2, Little Mermaid ride, and Mickey's Soundsational Parade in the summertime. Plus I am looking forward to the D23 Expo in August. I hope that you can be there during that Expo which was really great a couple of years ago.

It was a shame when DL didn't have any light canopy over NOS, but some of the Holiday decorations light around NOS were bright. It was just not the same without the light canopy. I mostly never go to a Bug's Land on my trips, but after doing skiingfast (Matt) ride vehicle challenge, it was nice to see the giant Christmas lights and ornaments in a Bug's Land. I don't think that DLR would take out aBL. But we don't know what TDA is thinking and planning on doing.

When I was in aBL, I did see some ornaments in aBL as you can see from this photo when I was in November.

I'm sure if I had asked for that PPH room view of DCA, I would never have gotten it. I would have gotten something that had a teeny sliver of the Matterhorn in the view. I've had a pool view room, too, which was at least better than the parking lot view I had on another PPH stay.

I stayed at the DLH all the time before the PPH came on the scene (with lower rates, while the DLH rates went up). I loved the DLH rooms with the views of the marina and the pedal boats. I also had rooms with views of the waterfall. I didn't even ask for views at the DLH and usually ended up with something great.

Sadly, the whole landscape of DLH has changed, and the views are not the same anymore. That's why I'm not as gung ho to stay at the DLH again - because the views I specifically loved are gone. No more waterfalls. No more marina. I mean, I'm sure I'll end up at the DLH again in the future if I get a good rate, but the views that I loved are totally gone.

I would say that if your friend wants to hit DLR when it's not decked out in holiday stuff, that it is a good way to see Disneyland in its semi-original state. For someone's first-time trip, that makes total sense. That's what many people prefer - to see DL as it originally was. Of course, so many things have changed since Walt built DL and so many things have been added that it's not even quite like he had it in many places now anyway. It's like a different place...but still the same, if that makes sense!!

I know what you mean, though - I totally see the point. Covering things in decorations can detract from just the natural state of things in DL.

What I will say, though, is that if someone doesn't have a choice of when to go and has to go to DLR during the holiday season (maybe because of vacation time), and that happens to be their first trip ever to DLR, I don't think they will be missing anything or overlooking any special Disney details. If anything, there is just more to see.

Another thing is that I am honing in on a lot of details in my photos that other people might ordinarily overlook. Some of our seasonsed DIS'ers wouldn't even stop and take the time to look at what I am getting on camera, let alone the average, non-DIS, non-hardcore Disney fan visitor.

So it probably seems like it would be more overwhelming than it is for a first-timer because I am focusing on all that stuff in my photos. That was my personal goal - to try to catch a lot of details and a lot of holiday decor. But, in reality, I would bet that the majority of visitors to the park are going to skip right past 50% of the stuff you've been seeing in my photos. Much of it is not 'in-your-face.' You see the lights and decorations on Main Street, but then you go to Tomorrowland, and...nothing. You go to Adventureland and...nothing (other than maybe some calypso-flavored holiday classics being played). Even Fantasyland is largely untouched until you get back to where IASWH is. I think they do a great job of playing up the decorations in areas where it's really visually complementary - like Main Street - and leaving other areas essentially untouched.

Of course, for me, I can't get enough of the Christmasy stuff! I would rather be at DLR during the holidays than any other time. It's the same DL magic I grew up with - but magnified by 1000 percent!

I love DLR no matter how it is dressed as you well know. It is always my place to go.

Hmmm....what would I take pictures of if I were making a short trip to DLR?

Well, I know there are things that I'm specifically interested in getting, but I don't know if you would be. For example, I only got a couple of photos of the vegetation in Tomorrowland. That's one of the best things about Tomorrowland - that every plant or tree in the whole land is some sort of fruit, vegetable or herb. I have yet to go around and get all of those on camera. I also kind of like the idea of a Sign Quest. I've always wanted to go around and take photos of all the shop signs, all the attraction signs, all the restaurant signs, etc. deejdigsdis and Bumbershoot (Molly) are kind of the ones who inspired me to go around and get photos of light fixtures!! Another good idea is to catch all the weather vanes in Fantasyland or ToonTown.

Mainly, I found myself approaching something like a window display or a particular plant or tree at the Round-Up and focusing on one or two little details of those things. So it may have been a window display or a tree that everyone had seen, but perhaps they hadn't seen the plate of cookies in the display or the gingerbread man hanging from the tree. So I would focus on those little things.

Or I would zero in on a familiar icon of the resort and take a picture of it that I had not seen before. (I've got one of those types of photos coming up - I think I got an unusual photo of a very recognizable thing at DLR, but I won't say what it it until I post it!! I could be wrong - maybe there are a million photos like the one I took, but I haven't seen one on the DIS yet...)

As mariezp was saying earlier, the good thing is that there is never a shortage of things to take photos of. So if you get on a roll with one 'thing' (let's say flowers or signs or lamps) and get bored, there is alway something else to switch to.

I've never done one of the D23 Expos. Sounds like it would be really cool.

I love those giant ornmanents and lights in A Bug's Land! I wouldn't expect them to get rid of them but there are so many changes happening at DCA that it's anyone's guess what they will do for the 2011 holiday season. It's going to be very interesting this year as they completely reconfigure the entrance to DCA. By the end of the year it will look very different, I suppose!

 

[Sherry E]

Absolutely! The great thing about it - other than riding the rides, of course - is that, any time of year, no matter what the season, there is never a shortage of things to see. There is apparently no end to the details to discover and little hidden gems to stumble upon. It never seems to get old because I think we all miss so many things each time we go, that we go back the next time in hopes of seeing things we missed - only to discover all new stuff! They keep roping us in with those darn clever details!

Face it, where else can you go and see something new every time you go?

 

[Sherry E]

Face it, where else can you go and see something new every time you go?

Nowhere that I know of - unless it's another Disney park, I would imagine! They even make the shops' and restaurants' decor interesting - heck, even the bathroom signs are interesting and themed to each area!! So you constantly have to look everywhere - at the carpet, the ceiling, the wallpaper, the lights, the plants, the signs, the facades, etc. - to see if there is anything hidden or something you've never noticed before. You certainly don't get that same experience at Six Flags!

 

[PHXscuba]

Sherry, I too love the Main Street Christmas music. My friend said it reminds her of childhood with the music-box style.

I also agree with you about the always-surly crowd-control CMs. I can't imagine how mind-numbing it must be to funnel great gobs of people around Disneyland and keep repeating the same phrases over and over. We decided that would be one of the worst jobs for us (favorite job: either character handler or holiday decorator).

I also think the Halloween pumpkins are better than the snowflakes over the entryway at Christmas. The pumpkins carry the theme through much better with what the put up on Main Street.

Loving the photos -- I never saw the framed-box Disneyland signs until now.

Boy no kidding. We have a Six Flags about 20 miles way, and I have been to Disneyland far more times than I have there. And frankly they charge way too much for what there is available to do. And if you are at all Pooh sized like I am good luck with the rides.

Hi, PHX! Yes, music box style! That's a good way to put it. And it's such a nice little touch when the drivers of the vehicles are tooting "Jingle Bells" on their horns.

Those surly CM's are so amusing (well, I say amusing now that I am not standing there trying to follow the vague arm gesture that indicates a non-existent crosswalk while I am being forced onto Main Street and away from ToonTown!!). I would not want to do that job either - that's for sure! I'm sure that people/crowds drive the CM's nuts. I'm sure they have to deal with obnoxious characters (the non-Disney kind of characters) all the time. It's amazing that they can stay as nice as they are. The lady from the Round-Up - Velora was her name, I think - was saying that they (the CM's) "see it all and hear it all," and I believe it! I would go for the holiday decorator job as well (no surprise there, I bet!) or possibly PhotoPass photographer (though I couldn't bear standing out in the heat on certain days).

The character pumpkins over the turnstiles are soooooo much better than the bland snowflake thing they have going on for the holidays. You're right - they carry the theme much better, and it's a much more interesting thing to look at as you enter DL. The snowflake thing is not interesting to look at. It seems like it would be so easy (and obvious) for them to put character snowmen up there or character gingerbread cookies. I have no idea why they don't do that.

So, in that one instance I definitely say that Halloween Time scores points. Now if only they would make the Halloween decor more extensive, throughout the whole Resort (including hotels, restaurants, etc.). It seems to be forgotten everywhere but in DL itself.

I absolutely adore those framed box things. I should have bought one.

More photos to come!!

That is a good idea from deejdigsdis and Bumbershoot that I should go around the resort and take photos of the attraction signs, restaurants signs, etc. That will be a good idea to go around the resort and take photos of the signs at the parks, DTD, and DLR hotels. The plants at TL are another thing that I like when I walk around TL.

You are right of what mariezp said that there is never a shortage of things to take of at any Disney parks. I could have taken over 3000+ photos of my trip at WDW last month. But I didn't bring enough sd cards for my camera. But I also want to enjoy a nice time at the WDW resort. I was kind of disappointed that I didn't take as many pictures of the Holiday decorations around the resort. But I did take a decent amount of photos of the decorations around the resort.

I'm still wondering the same thing and see what DCA will be when we get to the Holiday season later this year. With the construction at the DCA main entrance and the Little mermaid ride completion it will be very interesting.

 

[Sherry E]

Boy no kidding. We have a Six Flags about 20 miles way, and I have been to Disneyland far more times than I have there. And frankly they charge way too much for what there is available to do. And if you are at all Pooh sized like I am good luck with the rides.

I even hated Six Flags as a kid! There is virtually nothing there that I will go on because I hate those kinds of scary-death rides. Plus, it has no charm, no character, and it's a different kind of crowd that goes to the one out in Valencia than the crowd at DLR.

We had the ultimate eye opener when our kids were in the toddler range. We had taken our nephew Ryan with us so that we had a hand for each kid. He was holding either Kacy or Kody in his arms while we were waiting for the tram. When the tram came and we went on to board Ryan and and the girl he was holding were pushed off of the tram by some creepy guys that wanted the spot. Very un-Disney magic. We ended up walking to the car with exhausted kids and very ticked off grown ups. The food and water is more expensive if you can imagine that. And although Discovery Kingdom has animals like tigers and such it still isn't that good.

You will never run out of things to photograph, that's for sure. deejdigsdis and Bumbershoot had the light fixtures and lamps. I don't think I ever would have gotten started on that subject if not for seeing their photos. The signs for the shops/attractions/restaurants are everywhere so that could be ongoing, really.

Some trips are better for getting in more rides and fewer photos. Other trips are better for lots and lots of photos and fewer rides. Either way you do it, it's not a bad trip to have!

Yes, I'm really curious to see not only what the entrance to DCA will look like by December, but also the crowds and the prices! I wonder how much the Hopper and AP prices will go up this year, and especially by the end of 2012. I'm curious if there will be a Christmas party in DL, or if the Candlelight Processional will move to DCA. There is lots of stuff on the horizon!

Was that at Six Flags that Ryan and Kody or Kacy got pushed off the tram? It's a different kind of crowd at Six Flags than at Disney parks, that's for sure. That's not to say there aren't obnoxious idiots like that at DLR too, but the CM's and the overall environment seem to keep everyone in line a little better so you don't encounter them as often.

Yikes! The water at DLR is hideously expensive! I can't imagine more expensive water at another park! And the food too? Wow.

Yes, it was at a Six Flags. My kids have all gone on school trips there and I give them $20 for food, which is just lunch and maybe a snack. When Kody went she got a cheeseburger, fries, and a soda this all cost her $18. She didn't have money to buy the $5.25 water. And this was in 2008. I can only imagine how much things are now. The daily entrance fee is $49.99, I think that is way too much.

I will never run out of things to photograph. Every time I go to the DLR, I always try to take photos of different things that I have not got during my prior trips. It all thanks to this forum for me to do something new when I go to DL. I know that looking for all the signs is going to be long, but that makes it more challenging to me when I take pictures. I will do this as my quest for my trip in a few weeks. I got to thank deejdigsdis and Bumbershoot for the idea.

You are right about that people will ride more than take pictures and take more pictures than riding on rides. I like to do both, but I like to remember everything that I did on my trips so I mostly take more photos than going on rides.

It will be very interesting to see how the main entrance to DCA looks like. As you have already know that DLR will increase the ticket and AP prices in August. I'm also curious of how much the AP will be at the end of August. I know that DL increased the one day park ticket from $72 to $76 last year and the premium went up $20 more from 2009. I'm getting tired of these price increases but that is part of it. I'm hoping that DL would not do a exclusive party event just like at MK MVMCP, but it seems like it headed toward that direction after MHP in October. I just like it the way DL does things during the Holiday season. I have never seen the CP, but I would like to see it one day.

 

[bumbershoot]

I like your pretty shiny pictures....

Totally forgot to see if WDW had those mickey shaped jingle-bell wreaths, gosh darnit all!



I took a picture of a bathroom floor on my recent trip....now it was at Universal, but still...a bathroom floor was interesting enough to photograph!
