Disneyland Holiday Photos

[ScrapIron]

I've just set up a site with many pictures from Disneyland, California Adventure and Knott's Berry Farm. Many are of the holiday decor, often taken at night. Check it out.

Great pics!!! Thanks for sharing them!

Were you by any chance in Disneyland Park on the 22nd? I was there that day. A prime example of what their maintenance cutbacks have done to the parks...

I was there after 9 PM; that's when I got the Jump Jive... pictures. Hard to notice much beside people at that time, they were really easy to spot. :animwink:

LOL! Ah, so you were only there for the late fireworks and the crappy showing of Fantasmic. You missed most of the ride closures... all day long... hitting all the major rides... as it seems to do every weekend nowadays...

I am not a fan of Disneyland maintenance, can you tell? :lol:

We got our share by the end of the trip. Splash twice, RR once, Cal Screaming several times.

Eh, that's not too bad! You're lucky! On the 22nd it was:
Indy
Pirates
HMH
Small World
Matterhorn

The day after HMH opened...the park was already packed with the HMH crowd and gay day... this is what it was:
Indy
Pirates
HMH
Matterhorn 3 times
Mr. Toad
Roger Rabbit
Star Tours

Those are just the ones I remember.

How funny, I think I may be in the back of one of your pictures.

It's the one of Minnie signing your son's autograph book at the Santa's Beach Blast. Not the girl directly to Minnie's left, but directly behind Minnie's ear (I recognize my hair, teehee!).

If that was on the 24th, then it is definitely me, though I'm pretty sure it is.

My what a sexy elbow you have:slurp: :animwink: I once recognized my hair on TV in a crowd shot at a Grateful Dead concert.

Yep, that's the date, sometime between 11-12 I believe. The boy really lucked out, because we walked up to the scene right at the "shift change", so after about five minutes there was a completely new set of characters. I liked the way that Donald distracted the young 'uns so the first group of Toons could slip away. Cheers.

Wow! Those are great pictures - I love them!:sohappy: Can I ask what kind of camera you were using? They came out really good! Thanks for posting them for us to see.

Most were taken with a 2MP canon digital about the size of a deck of cards, S330 I think. It has limitations, but it has versatility for a camera that size, long exposure capability and such. I've often left cameras behind at DL, because I usually lug so much stuff, so it's great to stick this one in my pocket. Thanks for the kind words, cheers.
