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
Up until 2007, I didn’t think Disney could make Cinderella Castle look any more breathtaking. Then Walt Disney World went and added stunning icicle lights to Cinderella Castle for Christmas.

Given that this is the first year of the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Walt Disney World since Jennings Osborne, the creator of the light-show upon which the Disney version is based, I’d like to think these angels take on a bit of a special meaning. These lights obviously meant a lot to
Think of it as a “salute to all movies, but mostly The Muppets” or perhaps a “salute to all awards shows, but mostly the Oscars.” That’s right, I’m talking about the Muppets hosting the 2012 Oscars. With the debacle that has turned into Oscars 2012, as both Producer Bret Ratner and host Eddie Murphy dropped
Another November is upon us, which means it’s Thanksgiving Christmas season at Walt Disney World. Below you’ll find a brief overview of what to expect this year, with an emphasis placed on what is new for 2011 Christmas Walt Disney World trips!

What do you get when you leave your camera’s shutter open for 239 seconds during the fireworks portion of Holiday Illuminations at Walt Disney World? This. This is a single-exposure shot of the fireworks, pretty much straight out of the camera (it has been sharpened and I removed an odd spot of lens flare). Although
Don’t expect the Train Station to look this pretty decked out with Christmas decorations in 2011, as the powers that be have left the “Let the Memories Begin” marketing out to clash with the Christmas decorations. Although I’m not a fan of the “Let the Memories Begin” decor in front of the Train Station, it
