Holidays '07

I received my 'Backstage Pass' today.

Oh, the beautiful sparkling new holiday look for Sleeping Beauty Castle.

It states that it began November 16th...

Has anyone seen this? It says it is done in three stages.

It looks absolutely beautiful.

I like it... mostly.
They should have dropped the other shoe and lit the back of the castle too. Looks kinda half-a$sed as it is right now...
During the day, the castle doesn't look as good as it does at night.

The Christmas tree on Main Street is pretty as always.
NOS looks great.
The parade and the fireworks are cool.

One day I'll get to the park again....

I was thinking we should have a LoT Holiday meet.

Thanks for the review, GC! Maybe they want to make it look sort of like a scary dark castle?

NA, it sounds like it might be in order!! This sounds like a new experience and so I do think it merits a 'meet'.

I am dying to go. But, I did turn down going on Wednesday. I figure it will be a madhouse. So, I will just be here, sadly preparing for the turkey to be stuffed and eaten. Next to the 'tofurkey'.

But I will go!!!

eventually....

Happy Holidays!!!

Our passes have been expired for over a month. I wonder if we'll get to the park before the end of the year...

Not to diss the castle too much but...

LOL, yeah, that sounds about right....

this is what the mag says:

"During the daytime hours, Sleeping Beauty Castle will appear to have a light dusting of snow, but it's really throughout the evening that the magic takes place, as you watch the Castle come to life and take on a magical glimmer. It's going to be so beautiful, you will want to make this a photo op several times each night!!"

It also says it comes in three 'Acts'.

Mmm...I won't type that out because maybe some want to be surprised....

It has now been 14* months since I was last in Disneyland.

(I'm excluding shooting the red carpet for Pirates 3 since my time in the park was completely limited to a 1.5 square foot spot on Main Street).

You know, the longer you stay away, the more rapidly you age.

I saw the first and second stage on Saturday. I love it.

LoT Christmas meet sounds fun!
