I'm glad I was there both Saturday and Sunday, because I got different bits of Christmas each day.
Saturday - - bobsleds down the icy slopes of the majestic Matterhorn for the first time in months. One Tomorrowland, one Fantasyland. Not possible on Sunday (partial 101). Fantastic fireworks from the hill next to it's a small world leading down to ToonTown. The 'werks are simply huge. And fun viewing of the quarter-hour small world Xmas projections spectacle. And snow drifting overhead.
Storybook Land from aboard Casey Jr. Circus Train. Storybook fun on Snow White's Scary Adventures. No attractions that weren't Christmassy.
Intricate study of the towering Christmas Tree. Intricate study of the Christmas Castle reflected perfectly in the complely still waters of the moat. Fun with Swans.
Sunday: Gorgeous fireworks from the perfect "spot" - available only via multi-hour campout. (Psst, the spot is on the curb of the inside circle of the Hub, facing and almost directly across from Sleeping Beauty Castle, a wee bit Tomorrowland of center, so that the Matterhorn is not blocked by trees.) Delicious view of the holiday fireworks via the perfect procenium of every layer, stunningly glorious and uplifting.
Rode the Carousel. No rides that weren't Christmassy. (Ok, no other rides, period). Christmas parade. Fun with Reindeer.
All in all, a weekend of Christmas Time fun at Disneyland. Very enjoyable and, besides being the place where dreams come true ... still the Happiest Place on Earth.
Merry Christmas.
