Nothing to See Here...

[Sherry E]

Ok, that is good to hear that Pooh and Tigger are still in the parade.

I just posted my [post=38951729]1985 Holiday pics[/post] on my TR so you can look at it.

Cool!

Sherry! I'm so glad things are off to such a great start for you this Christmas season Disneyland-wise! I loved your pictures. I SO wish I was participating in Tree Quest and Wreath Quest this year. I was there a year ago this week for the first time in 13 years. I took my kids to Disneyland for the first time a year ago today and I keep thinking about how magical that was. They talk about it like it was yesterday. Sigh. I wanna get them back there! You'd never know by the way I'm talking that I was just there a few weeks ago! Ahh, there's just a different feeling at Christmas time, huh? Oh, did you see the snow? Can't wait for your December report! And yay for the AP!

Oh gosh Sherry I love the pictures. It may just be me but the gingerbread men look silly in the parade. I must have that tree antennae topper!! I just have to figure this out.

EEEEE! Totally squealing over the photos Sherry. Like, absolutely, 100%, so excited to see them and to know that you were there. And heck, that you're going again in December when it will feel even more Christmas-y. I cannot tell you how resolved I am to make it myself, and now I'm just even more stubborn about it than before.

Sherry, I have been following your thread, but I keep forgetting to subscribe to it. So I will by asking a question:

When did you stake your spot for the parade? Was it hours ahead of the scheduled parade time?

 

[funatdisney]

Oh I forgot to add: I was told that the AP cards are thinner so they can be placed in card readers in the turnstiles. I have seen the readers used only once a very long long time ago. I do think it is because it is cheaper to produce thinner cards.

Words cannot describe how much I love that wreath on the right. Oh how I hope they have something like it at WDW.....

Sherry, I want to see the parade this year, since it might be offered a little differently next year. I have only seen it once when the girls were little. I am gathering that I will have to stake a spot quite a few hours ahead of the parade. No big deal. I am staying on site, so will have no problem with with that. So very nice of you to be so considerate! I knew that you were a good soul .


I, too, like the more sturdier cards. My aim is to use my card so much that it almost falls apart before the expiration date . I think that is a good goal.

But...during the holidays it is a different story. Nighttime is part of the big draw to going during the season. That's when the Winter Castle and IASW Holiday really come to life. That's when Main Street really comes to life. That's when the snow falls! The parade is much prettier at night. The Golden Gate Bridge comes to life (although this is the last year for that to happen). The tree is DCA looks gorgeous as it shines over the bay. The whole mood and atmosphere kind of shift a bit, I think, from what it's like in the daytime. It just looks so much more festive and alive at night.

OK Sherry... you really aren't helping my "Disneyland at Christmas" homesickness I'm feeling this week!

Such nice shoes!!

I know! I was truly shocked to see a photo on my camera that I was completely unaware of - especially since I could be the person who snapped it (it's between me and the PhotoPass girl) - but I thought it was so funny so I kept it in!!

Personally I love quirky pictures like that. I have a series of pictures of my kids from the eyes up and I love them. Yes, I am odd.

I like them, too. I mean, I love 'beauty shots' and nice landscape photos or people photos as well, but I enjoy the quirky stuff - nothing wrong with a little oddity every now and then!

I think you have to throw the quirk in there every now and then.
