The gingerbread cozy cones are absolutely adorable! And I love the candy shop decorations. Are you posting the same pictures here and on the Christmas thread, or should I see more over there?

Off to Target to hunt down the white chocolate peppermint M&Ms ...

I am absolutely loving the pictures Sherry, keep them coming. And don't forget to put my favorite pictures in this thread too. (Those blue lighted trees and the one with all the limbs, mainly blue).

The food porn is starting to get to me. I may have to buy some of those peppermint balls too. Can you tell I am addicted to sugar??? I love this time of year because I love peppermint.

Oops, you already put in my favorite blue tree photos. Thanks my friend!

Boy you had a thoroughly busy day, didn't you. No wonder you felt sick.

 

[Velvetia]

Wow! wow! wow! Thank you so much for posting these, Sherry, fabulous photos of wonderful decorations! I love Pluto in his holiday attire!

 

[Sherry E]

Thank you, everyone! I'm glad you're enjoying the pictures!



PHX -

I will eventually post more photos here than in the Christmas thread. I am not posting in the actual order in which I took the pictures, of course. I'm just skipping around wildly. I've just kind of been grabbing the specific new holiday highlights and putting them here and in the Christmas thread to give everyone something to look at.

I've posted more pictures in the Christmas thread so far (like merchandise photos and a few treat photos), but I will be posting those here too. Ultimately, there will be many more photos here in this thread, as I plan to go back to the beginning and post the other stuff that I took when I arrived at DLR - in other words, the photos that don't specifically involve Cars Land or Buena Vista Street.

It dawned on me later that those gingerbread cones in the Cozy Cone Motel office are actually all part of a miniature gingerbread version of the entire Cozy Cone Motel property itself! Each of the cones represents one of the cone stands, and there is a mini-gingerbread office there too (which you can see, if you look closely). And there is a miniature Cozy Cone sign! I love it!

I was afraid of chintzing too! But at least as far as Cars Land and Buena Vista Street, there's no chintzing this year! It's weird to not see a giant tree in Downtown Disney. There was also no holiday music playing in DTD. I am wondering if they may start playing music and finding room for a tree in DTD when it gets closer to Thanksgiving. I don't know where they could put a tree with that ice rink in the way, but Downtown Disney needs a tree!

Jingle Jangle Jamboree…

You can color these reindeer things…

Candy Cane Cotton Candy…

You will see it in its 'normal' state a month before we do if I have my way (hoping for a March trip).

Sherry, I can't wait for you to go in December where you get to spend a few days there so you can take it 'easy' while getting all the pictures you can. And I hope and pray that you get a seat for the CP on one of your days. These pictures are amazing. Keep them coming. My trip is not coming up fast enough!

The Cars Land decorations are amazing! Who knew there were so many things you could do with an orange construction cone when it comes to holiday decorating?!? I just love all the car-themed details.

Well, I am loving the pics.

Sorry I have not stopped in for a bit, I have had a hellish couple of weeks. Got the flu, then had major panic attack that knocked me out for two days, and work has just been stupid.

Anywho....sooooo very glad you got in the one day trip before the happy, happy time, of your Dec/makeover/have the best time ever trip.

Quick update for me....so we are planning for a full family Feb trip as seen in my sig....but.....I was chatting last night with Prince Charming, and since we both have over a week off at christmas we were going to go to Mexico.

Guess what? He suggests that he take me to DL. can you imagine? I think I may have him hooked now

I knew getting married there last year was a good idea

So, we are now going yet again, Dec 25 to Dec 30. Since we were there last year we know how to manage the Christmas crowds. I just can''t believe that he is willing to go so quick after our early anniversary Oct trip. And now we will be there right after our actual Disney wedding anniversary.

He really is a prince...

Regardless, Sherry I am mucho happy for you!

And now I have to get the DLH booked yet again

The decorations on the trees in the Buena Vista area remind me of my moms antique ornaments that were her mothers. Wow! It looks like they did a great job!

 

[mvf-m11c]

Excellent pictures Sherry of the Holiday decorations at the DLR. I will be looking forward to seeing them in a few days.

 

[luvslikepi]

Thank you, everyone! I'm glad you're enjoying the pictures!

Which thread is the Christmas thread because I would love to see the other pics!

Sherry, I just wanted to say...THANKS, GREAT JOB, MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!

Wow what fantastic pictures, as if I wasn't already excited, now you've put me into overdrive!! Tomorrow I can say we will be there in two weeks!!! My niece, sister and I are on I haven't been to Disney during the holidays since 1999!! We will be overwhelmed by it all, I'm sure! I need to find and charge up my little flip video camera that the kids got me a couple of years back, but I will most likely just continue to use my iphone to take regular pics...I've thought about taking my camera, but I don't know if I want another thing to lug around, I just want to mainly enjoy the atmosphere since we don't get to go often!

Got the documents the other day delivered! Adorable Cars luggage tags and all!! Got our airline tickets booked, Disneyland Express booked, got the PPH room booked, voucher for preferred seating at Aladdin, Disney rewards card is here, Bought Lux Bus tickets, Journey/Loverboy tickets (ok, this is for the Vegas part of the trip, but still!!) I bought a $25 Disney g.c. so far, but planning on going to Target to get more this weekend with my Target Red Card so I can get 5% off! Can I use those to pay down bill at ck-out if I charge purchases to the room?

Will start packing Thanksgiving weekend since that is the wknd before we leave, and I have a 4 day weekend! Have my purple suitcase dusted off and ready to fill!! The hard part is deciding what to bring as far as clothes, shoes, etc. I am going to continue monitoring the weather, although I know it will be warmer than here in Alaska! If it's in the 60's, that is our summer!

There are so many things I want to do and so little time! I'm hoping my ankle, foot and knee aren't going to ruin it for me, but nothing that a little bottle or two of Advil won't help!

Keep the pics coming! We will be there the 30th-3rd, although the girls want to do something on the day that we won't be at Disney (4 nights @ PPH but 3 day parkhoppers) but who knows? I may end up upgrading, after all, it's only an additional $25, right?? I think they are interested in shopping, we have a limited amount of malls up here, so I guess I can see their point (not really, but oh well, haha) I would rather take a tour that day like my family and I did before, drive to the coast, enjoy the ocean, etc. But alas, I will probably just go along with my sister & niece, but time will tell!! Where do you plan on staying when you are there??

Sherry, did you try the cotton candy? Was is minty?

 

[kaoden39]

My son Loren is in Disneyland and he keeps sending me pictures. He is so cute in what he sends.

 

[azdisneylover]

Wow! I don't know where to begin. Sherry, thank you so
much for taking the time and sharing your trip with us.
The picture of Mater gingerbread sculpute in Flo's is
awesome! The detail is amazing. I wonder if it smells as
yummy as it looks.

I love the snow car! It is so cute. The cone used in place
of a carrot for the nose is adorable. It makes me want
to pile in the car and drive straight to the parks!

By any chance, Sherry, did you try the peppermint cotton
candy? That looks so yummy!

I had talked myself out of going to DL for our 30 anniversary
(12/31/13), but after seeing some of these decorations and
reading the tease of a trip report, I am having a very hard
time telling myself I not to plan to go next year!

Waiting for your next post! Stay healthy.
