Christmas is a very special time at Walt Disney World. All four parks, Downtown Disney, and as we discussed last week, even the resorts are decked out with wreaths, ribbon, lights, Christmas trees, gingerbread men and every imaginable decoration, transforming Walt Disney World into a magical holiday wonderland.

Meet LuLu. She is/was one of the carousel horses this past Christmas season at the Beach Club. Having amazing decorations at many of the resorts is a Disney World tradition, and one of my personal favorites is the Beach Club carousel. Partly because the detail is amazing (check out the not-so-subtle shout out to Beaches and Cream’s Kitchen Sink on her back). Partly because I have always loved horses and carousels. And partly because I love chocolate even more.
And LuLu is/was made of chocolate. Completely.
Be still my heart. 🙂
But what I REALLY want to know is: What happened to all that chocolate when the Christmas decorations came down????
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.
