One things you’re sure to find at any Disney park on a cold day: lots of merchandise to help warm you up. These racks of sweaters appeared in almost every store throughout the park today.

Can you really walk through Batuu without stopping to take a picture of the Millennium Falcon? Doubtful.

  1. Sam promised George whatever he needed to get out of trouble, basically. I wonder what he ended up getting?

  2. It’s a Wonderful Life! A truly fantastic movie with a timeless message. It’s Christmas Eve tradition at our house!

  3. That’s a crate headed to Bedford Falls, the setting for “It’s a Wonderful Life”. My favorite exchange from that movie is this one.

    George: “Annie, why don’t you pull up a chair? You’d be more comfortable, and you’d be able to hear everything that’s going on.”

    Annie: “I would if I thought I’d hear anything worth listening too.”
