2013 Holiday Advent Blog – Day 10 – 23 Days of Disney Christmas (from D23.com)

I honestly almost didn’t want to use this one because the D23 online experience has been pretty terrible for me so far between first ordering a free membership via DisneyStore.com and having to wait 24 hours before being able to use it and then super-aggressive password rules that I wouldn’t have been able to remember if they hadn’t immediately e-mailed my password to me as soon as I created it…

…but…

…in the spirit of the season, if you can ever actually get logged into their website, this series that they’re posting through Christmas is kind of neat. They’ve tasked 23 different artists from departments around The Disney Company with creating a holiday scene featuring their favorite characters – everything from Snow White, Cinderella, Monster’s Inc., Toy Story, and more!

I wish that I could point to a couple of my favorites here more easily, but between being behind their (free) pay wall and not being link-friendly, the site continues what I eluded to above. If you actually go through the hassle of registering, though, I really liked Zurg’s Present (Ricky D. Taylor Jr – Disney Interactive), Mickey & Pluto’s Christmas (Brian Blackmore – Theme Park Merchandise), and the one you see below.

Apparently you can also register to win a lithograph of one of the pieces, if you’re into that sort of thing.

P.S. You can also download the ones you like as wallpaper for your PC, though you do need to be logged in to access that link, too.  🙄
