Walt Disney World and Disneyland(s) Discussion

[Apone]

I also hear they will be adding 2 more countries to epcot. One being brazil. Not sure the validity of this though.

I heard Puerto Rico

 

[Apone]

I will be down there for 7 days starting on the 15th of this month.. WDW that is.

 

[FriendlySamurai]

I heard Puerto Rico

I vote Russia, I don't see how you can have a world showcase without it- politics or not

 

[MegaPrime33]

I would take Scotland, Russia, and Portugal over Puerto Rico any day.

So I'm finalizing my plans for WDW in December.

Dec 5th dinner: Yachtman's Steakhouse

Dec 6-7: Universal Orlando

Dec 8-12: Walt Disney World

Dec 9: Candlelight Processional with LeVar Burton narrating.


As much as I poop on WDW, I'm actually getting excited!

 

[Ondi]

Don't forget to pack the camera Cohete Can't wait to see some more pics

This will be my first trip to Orlando with a DSLR camera! How exciting! I need to think about what toys I want to bring for little photoshoots!

Did you go with a 4 day park hopper?

 

[Coheteboy]

Did you go with a 4 day park hopper?

I'm actually going to upgrade my Disneyland annual pass to a Premiere Pass (includes both disneyland and walt disney world). It's only an additional $360. It expires in March but it's less than buying a 5 day park hopper.




Some new pics from Disneyland. Big Hero 6 is out in full force with these awesome Baymax Balloons

There's a Big Hero 6 meet & greet at the Starcade (near the Space Mountain and Big Hero 6 Sneak Peak exit) where you can meet Hiro and Baymax. The setting is Hiro's garage

If you've seen the movie then you know what this is:

Your Hiro may vary

And it's Christmas time already!

Small World has reopened to become "it's a small world holiday". Does Florida change theirs at all?

Lights and decorations are added

Oh man with all the Infinity figs your options are endless, great idea by the way can't wait to see your photoshoots. Big Hero 6 pics were awesome thanks for sharing, Disney really go all out with their promotions. Makes the theme parks here seem boring

Just finalized a quick weekend trip to Disneyland / California adventure. Wish it was Disneyworld but no longer being on the east coast makes it tough. Pumped to finally ride the new version of Star Tours and to check out Cars Land.

My favorite place in the world during Christmas is WDW. My family has made it a tradition to go down there in mid December. One year we will eventually spend Christmas there and go to the parade.

If you give yourself enough time, you'll find that there's a good amount of satisfying offerings at Disneyland. There's already more rides at Disneyland than at Walt Disney World (rides.. not attractions, WDW has more attractions total), many that you won't find in Florida.



Along with the new things you haven't done, there's a few holiday exclusives you won't find at Disney World:

Disneyland:
-"it's a small world" Holiday
-Haunted Mansion Holiday
-Jingle Cruise (basically Jungle Cruise Holiday)
-Christmas Fantasy Parade


Disney California Adventure:
-Viva Navidad! (Mexican celebration of Christmas featuring Three Caballeros)
-World of Color Winter Dreams (nighttime water show)



And in DCA, later in December they'll transform much of Hollywood Land into a "Frozen" Wonderland. (ugh haha)

The Jingle Cruise is at WDW, I just rode it.

A holiday version of Haunted Mansion would be awesome.

Also we rode Star Tours 5 times and every time we got the Hoth scene.

Oh great! Glad that WDW is getting more holiday overlays. No Haunted Mansion Holiday ever though. It was offered to them but they refused, so it went to Tokyo.



As frustrating as it is to get the same scene, the Hoth one is among my favorites.

 

[cokebabies]

I've never gotten Hoth, so SS is lucky - that's one of my most coveted scenes.

 

[Coheteboy]

Time for more Holiday pictures from Disneyland!

Cars Land still amazes me from here

Little Mermaid... Florida wins this one.

Hehe, ya we got pretty much everything else. I think between our trip in 2012 and this year we saw all of the scenes.

 

[Coheteboy]

Now for Disneyland side

Jingle Cruise is back and better than last year!

A few different boat options:

All the good stuff was on the other side of the boat so I'll have to take those pictures next time.
