Nothing signifies Christmas at the resort like crowds. Perhaps the busiest time of the entire year.

  1. Amazing! Your photo reports always make me feel all warm and fuzzy! Even if I was just at the park earlier in the day! LOL

  3. Is it just me, or do the decorations in its a small world holiday look a lot better than previous years? It looks like they really went all out this year.

    • I think the Christmas lights at IASW are probably my favorite holiday decorations in the entire resort. It really stands out at night. It's also fun to see a new spin on IASW inside, like other attractions such as Haunted Holiday Mansion. Keeps it fresh, fun and bold.

  4. Great photo's. what kind of camera are you using? any special settings? the pictures are very bright and clear, even for night pictures.

    Fantastic job, I always love the photo reports. Not being close to Disneyland, this gives me a "Disney Fix" that will get me thru the snow.

    • Thank you for the kind words Brent. It makes me happy that you enjoy my photographs, and folks like you are all the motivation I need to keep it up!

      As for my camera, I use a Canon Rebel T3i, stock lense. For this set of photographs, I simply had the camera set to "auto", but with flash off, just a test of the camera's abilities in dark situations with bright landscapes. Seems it came out decent.

  5. Thanks for the report, Tim! I've never been able to visit Disneyland during the holidays which is a shame because those decorations look fantastic!

    • If you can get in right now, you can enjoy all the Christmas fun and still escape most of the crowds. After Thanksgiving crowds and Christmas Crowds.

  6. Quick question, is there no more snowflake christmas tree in the finale room? Was that big snowman the replacement for that?

  7. Great report Tim! Many well composed photos!
    It's hard to shoot in the low light of 'Small World' without blurring due to the boat's motion. Does your camera have a full frame sensor? I've attempted it with my T3i and f1.8 lens and only a few turned out as crisp as yours. Very nice.
    Thanks for the effort you put into this!

    Merry Christmas,
    Larry Delceg

    • Merry Christmas Larry! I also use a T3i, stock lense though.

      It's tough, and I had to throw a few of the photos out because of blurring.

      Thanks for viewing the photo report!
