Buon Natale

They are all ready for holiday parties in Italy - in Il Bel Cristallo the mask displays fit perfectly with their festive garland which also happens to have a number of masks incorperated into it...

An art deco Christmas

A more subdued set of Christmas decorations further back in the Backlot near the Muppets. Much as the main decorations featured earlier this week were crazy I think I like the crazy a bit better!

Desktop: Donald's Tree Lot

Apologies for the delayed desktop and photos this week (nothing like unplanned out of town disasters at work to start the week) but here we go! Donald has set up a tree lot at the Magic Kingdom and is ready to supply you with your Christmas tree. The usually ornery duck has got quite the Christmas spirit when it comes to being an entrepreneur...

Don't forget to call home

Frosty is calling home to check in with friends and family during the holidays, don't forget to do the same! You might not be able to find as cool of a phone booth as Frosty (have to love the Chinatown ones in New York) but they won't be able to tell the difference on the other end of the line.

A tasty holiday Mickey

This jumbo white chocolate coated Mickey pretzel in the Main Street Confectionery is made up of tons of smaller pretzels. Well, maybe not actual pretzels because if it were every sugar addict (like me) would want a taste!

A natural wreath

At the Animal Kingdom the decorations take on a more natural look - this wreath is a good example of how they blended natural colors and textures with the traditional wreath...

Merry Christmas from the China Bowl

The fine folks at the China Bowl Restaurant just off New York Street have the place all decked out for the holidays. Even the delivery bike is complete with lights. With a battery pack there is no excuse for getting hit in traffic anymore!

Flying elephants instead of reindeer

This trio of banners are just a few that could be found last year around Downtown Disney, the Disneyland Resorts, etc. From snow to Dumbo to the marching toy soldiers they are all magical and were a fun way to add to the decor around the resorts!

A grand Hollywood Christmas

The main entrance to the Hollywood Pictures Backlot is totally decked out in over the top decorations. At night it looks especially good - while it doesn't compare to the extravaganza of lights around MGM (both Osbourne and the rest of the park) it is still festive.

Desktop: it's a small world holiday

it's a small world is absolutely fantastic over the holidays, the facade is all decked out in lights and the light and music show on the quarter hour is also a blast. Last year was the first time I had ever been to Disneyland over and this was certainly a highlight.
