Christmastime at Disneyland

Ain't she a beaut, Clark? Sleeping Beauty Castle draped in thousands of tiny twinkling lights. Just magical.

My two favorite things in all the world are Disneyland and Christmas, so when you combine the two, well, it's pretty much the best thing ever for me, and when we went a couple weeks ago it was all decked out and ready for the holidays.

The best part was this:

It's a Small World Holiday! Pictures never do anything justice, but I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to see this ride lit up in colorful lights. They change the inside of the ride too to include Christmas songs and other holiday decor. So fun.

The crew. Dad and Nate came along this time.

Had to show them Pixar Pier, ride the Incredicoaster, and eat my new favorite Disney treat.

I know it sounds extremely nerdy to say this, but I'm a Haunted Mansion traditionalist. While the Holiday version is cool, I still much prefer the regular mansion. In my mind it's the one downside to going to Disney during the holidays.

Obligatory Mickey Mouse pancake.
