Most of us who love Walt Disney World are of the opinion that any time is a great time to visit, but at the same time, most of us also have a favorite time to go.

Visiting the Walt Disney World resorts to see all the decorations is one of the best ways to get into the Holiday spirit: beautiful, imaginative, and amazing, if you are visiting during the Holiday Season, you owe it to yourself to take some time for some resort hopping. One of my favorites is the Animal Kingdom Lodge where the huge Christmas Tree in the lobby includes beautiful and fascinating ornaments from many African countries – and provides some great inspiration for your own tree at home!

So when do you start packing for your Disney vacation? Not five months out? Oh. Well, that’s where we differ. I kind of don’t ever unpack from Disney. Not that I have suitcases shoved full of dirty vacation clothes that I just toss into the back of the car when we leave. We bring along laundry detergent and wash clothes before heading home and there are a few items that we don’t take out of our suitcases because they are for-Disney-only. Leaving them in the car makes me feel like I’m never too far away from another trip. Of course when it’s a special trip, like one over THE HOLIDAYS, even the real packing has to get a boost and start early. I haven’t gone full-on roll-the-underwear-and-tuck-the-socks yet, but I’ve been adding to my Disney stash and I wanted to give you a glimpse of the extra things I’m planning to bring along with me for this trip.

Summer is looming outside and while everyone else is prancing around thinking about the beach, shorts, and splashing around in the pool, my mind is firmly stuck at the end of fall. Like I might have turned up the air conditioning, burned a caramel candle, and eaten a sweet potato the other day. It is only 5 months until I check in to Disney for Thanksgiving and there is still so much planning to do. So. Much. Planning. Read more
