"it's a small world holiday"

Come stroll along with us for our latest episode of the Days in the ParkCast, our self-proclaimed “Christmas Spectacularrrrr!”  In this packed-to-the-hilt episode of the ParkCast, we’re tackling the Holidays at the Disneyland Resort and giving our own take on everything that Disneyland has to offer during this very special time of year.  We hope that if you’re a fan of Disneyland during the holidays, you’ll get a kick out of reliving your favorite moments from our perspective, and if you’ve never been but are interested in Disneyland this time of year, well, there’s something in there for you too!  Pull up your chair and sit a spell; we’ll be happy you did!

Sleeping Beauty's Winter Castle - Almost Wordless Wednesday

The theme for today's "Disney Wordless Wednesday" blog hop (hosted by "Focused on the Magic") is one that we can really get behind!  The question for today's theme is: "If you were to make a 2012 calendar, which one of your Disney pictures would you use for the cover?"  It's one that we've thought about before many times; which one of our Disney pictures is the Disney picture that we've taken so far?  Luckily for us, there's one that we think has easily stood above the rest out of all the ones that we've used around here.  It's featured on our button, and we've used it for our ParkCast logo as well.

We took this last year during the Holidays at the Disneyland Resort, and it's not only one of our favorite Disney photos, but probably our favorite shots of Sleeping Beauty Castle thus far.  A great holiday photo and a great castle photo?  We have a winner!

This particular shot was actually taken before the Christmas lighting that took place that evening, but we loved the look of the snow on her, as well as our little owl friend who's prominent in the foreground.  We hope you will too!
