  • I love the vintage character photos! Keep ’em coming! I’d love to see how many actual retired characters there are or ones that we never knew even existed!

  • I am so excited! I am going to be in Disneyland for the first part of the holiday celebration. I have never been to Disneyland for the holidays. Will all the decorations be up, the shows start, and it’s a small world be ready to go on 11/12 or is that when all the magic just starts to trickle in? I hope I get to participate in full blown holidays, not just get a taste and miss out.
