It'll no doubt look awesome at night, but in the daytime hours, it might look like Bukkake Castle.

Yes, I always wondered why we had to have the old west to enjoy frontier times, or what's with that stupid jungle just to enjoy adventure!

It's funny, I'm fine with all the rest of the theming, because the wild west is hot, as is the tropics (though they could use some humidifiers around there). I do think that the Matterhorn could benefit from some large blasting air conditioners (though I'm sure it wouldn't help the global warming situation), and that the town burning scene in Pirates has always needed a heater (hell is warm in Mr. Toad's, why not the burning town?).

What gets me is how not just the haven of themeing that is Disneyland, but ALL of southern california, from the front lawns decorated with plastic snowmen to the classrooms filled with paper snowflakes, pretends that December equals snow, even though it does not. Does not. It does not equal snow for billions of people, for millions of square miles on this planet. Yet we conform to the pole-centric, high-altitude-centric version of winter. For some reason, it irks me. A plastic palm tree in the dead of a northeast winter would irk me in the same way.

So sure, they can do whatever magical theming they want at Disneyland, and it "makes sense", because it's Disneyland and they can do whatever they want. Doesn't mean I have to think it works or makes sense.

I think it will be nice. Perhaps a bit much on a hot dry Santa Ana condition day, but the park is all about lights and effects at night durring the holidays anyway.

and I will miss it by 12 days- bummer.

I think you're mistaking snow = winter for snow = Christmas.

No matter what the weather is like where you live .... as long as Santa = Christmas, the corrollary equation of snow = Christmas will hold true.

or are you one of those jews who holds that Jesus = Christmas? in which case, of course, desert sands and palm trees hold sway just fine.
