The term “instant classic” gets thrown around fairly recklessly, but in the case of Disney’s Prep & Landing, I think it safely describes the CG animated-special’s place among Christmas favorites. When our review copy showed up, I was so excited to see this special again that I watched the DVD all the way through (special
Christmas in Le Court des Anges is a beautiful sight…until you look at the ground level, and see that the gorgeous court has been turned into a veritable gift shop during the Christmas season. This presents difficulties in composing an unobstructed shot and resulted in an odd crop here. Normally, I just avoid shooting areas
After I had concluded taking photos (or so I thought) one night, the view of Sleeping Beauty Castle behind the tree caught my eye. I quickly snapped a series of shots, changing my focal point as I thought two very similar, yet very different shots would be interesting. Here’s one of the photos. You can
This movie is nothing compared to the original. If you’re the type who appreciates the art of hand-drawn animation, this movie is not for you. The story is dumbed-down, the animation is sub-par, and there are several portions that seem like cheap attempts to draw laughs from kids. That said, not everything is targeted at
I’m working on detailed attraction pages with commentary, photos, and ride-through video for both “it’s a small world” holiday and Haunted Mansion Holiday.

We first experienced “it’s a small world” holiday during the day. My expectations for the attraction weren’t incredibly high, as I figured it involved a few Santa hats, a new soundtrack, and some Christmas lights strung throughout the attraction. Maybe a little more. To say we were both blown away when we discovered a thorough
Walt and Mickey are surrounded by gorgeous poinsettia flowers in the original Magic Kingdom as they gaze down Main Street, USA at the beautiful Christmas decorations in Disneyland.
Disneyland is unquestionably the most beautiful Disney theme park at Christmas-time. We recently had the pleasure of experiencing it for the first at Christmas, and we were absolutely blown away. We went in with very high expectations, and they were easily surpassed. From Haunted Mansion Holiday to “it’s a small world” holiday to the beautiful
+ = ??? String up the lights and light up the tree; we’re gonna make some revelry; spirits are high, so I can tell; it’s Christmas-time in…Disneyland! 😉 For the next few days on our Twitter account @DisTouristBlog, Sarah will be posting Instagram photos of Disneyland decked out for Christmas!

Kinect Disneyland Adventures came out yesterday, November 15, 2011, and initial reviews are fairly positive. We received our copy yesterday, and although we had only a few minutes to play (darn you, packing!) after finally getting the game set-up, it seems solid. We will have a full review next week, but for now, here
