Laura's Disney Lines

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the rather extended break in the blog...real life and all of that stuff. You know how it goes, especially this time of year.

I hadn't been to Disneyland since early October, but Lee and I stopped by on Monday on our way home from central CA, where we'd seen our niece and nephew perform in The Nutcracker.

I just love Disneyland at Christmas...all the decorations and the Christmas music and holiday-themed attractions and the parade and holiday fireworks...

New this year Sleeping Beauty Castle (like Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom) is adorned with snow and "ice". During the day the turrets appear to be covered with snow, but at night the castle sparkles with glittering ice. We saw the 5:30 show where the castle goes dark, and then starts to sparkle, and meanwhile snow starts falling on the street! It was a short show but we enjoyed it. We didn't stay for the fireworks, but it would be interesting to see how they incorporate the castle into the show.
