We recently returned from a long planned trip to Disney World! It was delightful to be in Florida during December! We joked about how we could get used to seeing snowmen decorations while it was 80 degrees out and balmy.
This trip was a birthday present for my son who turned five a few months ago. We decided to go at Christmastime so that we could enjoy the decorations and go at a less busy time of year. The parks were just beautiful and we had a blast. The kiddo was a great traveler and enjoyed his first plane ride. He loved everything we did and outlasted us every day! While the parents' feet were dragging, he was ready to do something else!
I took almost 1000 photos. CRAZY! I need to start working on an album so we can actually enjoy looking at them. I like to use Picaboo to make photo albums....much easier than printing photos and putting them in a book! I made a calendar for our family using our Disney photos and it turned out great!
We were able to capture some great family shots while there and my son had the chance to visit with Santa in the Magic Kingdom. My son is shy and has posed with Santa reluctantly in the past. The Disney Santa was amazing with him...spent about 10 minutes with him, chatting, getting him to laugh and hugging him. The photographer captured some amazing shots. It was such a nice memory to have.
While we were at the Magic Kingdom we even had the chance to see some of the ABC Disney Christmas parade being filmed. It made part of the park really crowded, but then other parts were empty so we got to ride many rides with no wait. We are looking forward to watching the parade on Christmas day to see it all again!
The decorations at the parks and resorts were incredible! From enourmous gingerbread houses to twinkling lights everywhere, it was quite a spectacle.
The Osborne Family lights in Hollywood Studios was crazy. It was very popular and hard to walk through since there were so many people there. It was fun to see.
The castle in the Magic Kingdom was beautiful at night, dripping with icicles! We saw the Electrical Light parade one night and the Wishes light show on the castle. It was really pretty.
I'll end with my favorite photo from the trip, one of my kiddo in EPCOT!
Merry Christmas!!
