A Toon Town Christmas



I absolutely love to wander around Toon Town at Christmas time! What fun! They do such a marvelous job of making all the decorations tooney and fitting to each of the characters. Enjoy as you peruse the pictures of a Toon Town Christmas.



Notice the dalmation balls on the Firehouse.



This is the Toon Town Tree


And the Toon Town Gazebo


The Jolly Trolley and light posts are so cute!!


Goofy's house


Minnie's House


And her matching tree


Mickey's house


and his matching tree


Donald's Boat


and his decorated mail box.


Although it can get pretty crowded back there during the holidays (who am I kidding, that place is always crowded!!) it is worth it to walk back and enjoy the decorations, at night and during the day.

The Castle Lighting



Not a lot needs to be said about the castle lighting. Throughout the evening, the lights dim and a young boy talks about hoping that it snows for Christmas. The castle lights up a little more each time, and each segment is ended with a bit of snow falling along Main Street, the central plaza and even back near It's a Small World.














Small World Holiday

What a wonderful spectacle of lights It's a Small World becomes during the holidays! I can't imagine how long it takes to put all of these lights up, but it is so beautiful!










But the outside isn't the only thing that is transformed during the holidays! Take a look at just a few of the gorgeous vignettes inside.

As you go into the Northern lands area:


Heading into Great Britain:


In the Africa area:


This Santa gopher cracked me up in the America area!


And the decorated cactus was cute.


The Finale:







If you get a chance to visit the Disneyland Resort, don't miss It's a Small World Holiday. It's just beautiful!

Haunted Mansion Holiday - Outside

The Haunted Mansion Holiday is a fun addition to Disneyland's Halloween Time. Here I have some pictures of the outside of the mansion in it's holiday decor, thanks to Jack Skellington and his band of merry halloweeners. I added some night time shots too. they really don't do it justice, but it was the best I could do with my little Canon.




















































Once in awhile, if you're lucky, you will find Jack and Sally in New Orleans Square taking pictures with the mortals. Last year we were lucky enough to get in line early.
