We have trees that turn leaves here in socal, and there is no mistaking that late October breezy chill we get every year. It's nowhere near as dramatic as elsewhere, but it's good enough for me to absolutely adore fall decor. When we were discussing wedding plans my first idea was to marry in October and do fall colors. It's still my favorite time of year, which is why we plan to be in the thick of falling leaves in Chicago and NY in 2 weeks! :)

I believe it is just plastic snow that bugs me.

I think I'll stick to my best case, which is that plastic icicles in 70 degree (or 60, 50, or even 40 degree) weather is dumb.

This show, an addition to the holiday decor and festivities at Disneyland, will feature 80,000 LED's on Sleeping Beauty Castle (35,000 embedded into Fiberglas snow and 45,000 in icicles, with an additional 480 custom LED strobes, all under 952 channels of control). Three times a night, a lush holiday musical soundtrack will accompany a snowfall as the castle shimmers and sparkles with "wintertime enchantment". Additional lighting for the castle includes an assortment of ColorKinetic's ColorBlast and ColorCast units, Martin MAC EX-250's and EX-600's, as well as Vari*Lite VL3000's.

Welll, remember, this is Disneyland and once you walk through the gates, you leave the reality world behind.

I get you're bugged by the plastic icicles and snow, but if some guy walking around in a mouse costume does not bug you, or a girl in a large wig and large shoes that flies in on a wire, well, what's a little dusting of magic?

It's all about the magic, at least I think that's the goal, right? ;)

I wonder if everyone has a "magic threshold". I know I have one, where I'd stop and say "now that's just dumb." Hard to delineate, but I know it when I see it...
