Wordless Wednesday: Oh Disney Christmas Tree!

One thing you will notice when you visit Walt Disney World during the Holiday Season is that there are Christmas trees…..everywhere. Big ones, little ones, shiny ones, whimsical ones, classically beautiful ones, you name it, they’ve probably got a tree like it somewhere at the parks or one of the resorts. One of my favorites is always this one on Main Street at the Magic Kingdom that actually doesn’t get set up until after the taping of the Christmas Day parade in early December. Love those gingerbread ornaments!

Wordless Wednesday: It’s All in the Details

I often feel when I am at Disney World, that I just don’t know where to look first, as there are a seemingly countless number of fascinating visual experiences, all competing for my attention. But I usually find that, if I can stop and take the time to *really look* at some of the most insignificant things, I am rewarded with some pretty cool surprises. Take the Christmas tree at Epcot’s World Showcase: what seem to be, at first glance, just a bunch of Christmas balls, are actually miniature globes, ornaments featuring the national flags of different nations, and my personal favorite, holiday greetings in many different languages. Next time you visit Walt Disney World, make it a point to check out those details: you may be surprised at what you actually find.

A highlight of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in the weeks leading up to Christmas is Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade. Disney does great parades, and this is no exception. Featuring many of your favorite characters in their finest holiday garb, you will also find ice skaters (yes in Florida, don’t ask, it’s that Disney magic 🙂 ), Marching Wooden Soldiers, and at the very end, Santa himself. And there are great holiday “smells” too…. Of course the castmembers are wearing appropriate festive attire too, including hats, scarves, and mittens, bless-their-overheated-hearts. If you want to see the parade, and will be there during Christmas week, you’re in luck because it is held every afternoon. Happy Holidays!

It’s been several years since we visited Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom, but one of the things that we truly enjoyed when we visited was Mickey’s Boo to You Halloween Parade. A highlight of the evening, it is a wonderful way for Trick or Treaters of all ages to have some not-very-frightening fun, and see some of the happiest looking witches, ghosts and ghouls that you will ever meet.
