This subset of pictures will focus on the three Disney Hotels and a couple Downtown Disney pictures, to view the full set visit disneygeek.com.

I started off my tour at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel. The lobby is decorated the same as the past several years.

The Gingerbread house is returning this year and is still under construction..

Another look at the tree this year.

A closer look at the tree.

Out front the trees have lights as usual.

Next stop the Paradise Pier Hotel across Disneyland Drive.

Entering the lobby.

I continued on to the Disneyland Hotel stopping first at the Frontier Tower.

The Tangaroa Terrace tree

Made my way to the main lobby in the Fantasy Tower. Christmas trees flank the gift shop

Outside lights in the planters as usual behind Mickey and Minnie.

The gingerbread inspired Sleeping Beauty Castle is back at the entrance to the Disneyland Hotel lobby.

There are two trees in the reception area, here is the one furthest from the main door (they looked identical).

In Downtown Disney the Winter Village and Olaf’s Ice Rink have returned.

Skating session times and costs.

A Good Dinosaur photo op is set up adjacent to the Rainforest Cafe across from ESPN.

A Ghirardelli store has opened next door to the Disney Vacation Club offices (across from Rain Forest).
