Even Sleeping Beauty can’t rest with all of this awesomeness going on! The holidays at Disneyland are all about the details, people. Don’t worry, those icicles are secured with fairy magic.
Enjoy the holidays at the Disneyland Resort through January 8, 2011.

This photo was taken in Saanichton, British Columbia in Canada — just north of Washington in the Puget Sound area. You don’t have to drive (ferry) that far for a great pumpkin, there are farms and patches all over the place. Stop at your leisure. Take the kids.
