A brief explanation...

Hi there,

Thanks for all the welcoming comments from the Disney-sphere.

I wanted to let folks know that I created this blog as a way to occasionally offer Guest Posts to the fine folks at Imaginerding.

As the name of the blog implies, there's already a wealth of great content out there. I hope to post when I find something sufficiently unique to say. I'll have to see what sort of schedule I can maintain, but my initial target is once-a-month-ish.

Until then, I leave you with some of my favorite details from underneath the Walt Disney World Cinderella Castle:

Disneyland Details - Holiday Decorations

Details abound in Disney Parks, and Disneyland in December is certainly no exception. The holiday decorations are a visual treat.

As you would expect, everything blends seamlessly with its visual and thematic surroundings. Be it the turn-of-the-century elegance of Main Street, U.S.A:

...the rustic garlands in Frontierland:

... the home-spun charms of Big Thunder Ranch:

... the nutcracker toys outside It's a Small World:

... the festive ornamentation of New Orleans Square:

... or the refined interior of the Club 33 lobby:

Then there's the fabulous holiday overlays like Haunted Mansion Holiday:

... and Small World Holiday:

But the visually inquisitive are often rewarded with additional hidden gems. For example, am I dreaming, or are there Heffalumps flying overhead in Critter Country?

The diminutive residents of Storybookland have also gotten into the act:

Toontown is awash in these details. Look at the sporting theme in this wreath adorning the Horace Horsecollar Gym:

... and the pyrotechnics hanging outside the fireworks factory:

It looks like Donald has made use of some handy nautical rope in his decorating:

The detailing continues across the esplanade in DCA. Check out this wreath hanging outside the Rushin' River Outfitters:
