#18- Kings and Jolly Holidays!

[reggroyx9d9]

Hi there Viffers! I have quite an extensive report put together for you this week, so let's get started!

I got a new camera this past Christmas that I will now be using for my Photo Reports here, and I'm really happy with the quality it has provided so far!

I stopped briefly by the festivities set up for Dia de los Reyes in Frontierland.



I also checked out the newly opened Jolly Holiday Bakery.



And finally, some pictures of the various refurbishments going on in Disneyland.



Also, as an added bonus, I took a ride in the Wheel House aboard the Mark Twain, and on the Lilly Belle!

All these and more can be found here.

And to finish, I have the follow-up video from my Ride Challenge on It's a Small World Holiday (Codename- Smalliday):

(BONUS: Comment below if you can figure out which scene is out of order!)



The Casey Jr. Circus Train is up for the next Ride Challenge, so voting for the next Challenge will occur once Casey has been accomplished!

Let me know if there's anything in particular you would like me to focus on in future reports! I have a very special update coming next week that I hope you all enjoy, so until then, have a great weekend everyone!

Fantastic update -- thanks!! Strange to see such a big chunk of Main St closed down. I can't wait to visit Jolly Holiday.

[ShrunkenNed]

You got videobombed! Love it all. The picture quality really has improved - keep it up!

Great update Gregory! I love the stained-glass penguins of Jolly Holiday bakery. Thanks for pointing out all the details. Glad your enjoying your new camera with us. The shots are awesome. I am curious about the special update...hmmm....can't wait!

[adrianne]

Ooh! I can't believe I forgot to mention the stained-glass penguins. So adorable!!

Love it, love it, love it! The Jolly Holiday Bakery photos are great - can't wait to visit. I love the Lilly Belle - photos bring back great memories - thanks it's just like being there.

Now you just have to ride in the front car on the monorail! Are there any other special places to ride? I forget.

The Smalliday video came together very nicely. No one got the bonus yet! Guess you were too sneaky with editing.

I just watched the It's a Small World challenge video Gregory. Is the Africa scene out of order? I'm guessing continent than country specific...haha!
Nice job on the video.

[reggroyx9d9]

Lita, you're close, but not quite! There's a different scene (continent) that was in the video out of order (before it should have occurred) (and it may or may not have happened because I may or may not have lost track of how many times I was on that ride...)

[Aurorasmiles]

^Ok that post cracked me up! I had to read it 3 times slowly. I like that I'm close...haha!

I accidentally recorded the Latin America sequence as Ride #6 when it should have been #7 (the order on the ride goes Asia-Africa-LatinAmerica, I recorded Asia-LatinAmerica-Africa)

Thank you Gregory! Loved the update and the new camera is great!! Especially loved the mark twain photos. I want to take my boys up to the wheel house when they are a bit older. I think they would love it! Thank you =)

Ooh, I never saw the Matterhorn under refurbishment before! Nice capture!

[GoofyFlamingo]

It's going to be under refurb until June, which is about 5 months total this time. Otherwise, it's usually under refurb about a month in the early part of every yer during off season. Not usually with all the scaffolding though. Expect lots of scaffoldhorn pictures since it'll be down so long.
