Wordless Wednesday: A Sweet Disney Steed

Nancy Wordless Wednesday , , , , 0 Comment

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????

Wordless Wednesday: Oh Disney Christmas Tree!

Nancy Christmas Holidays, Wordless Wednesday , , , , , 2 Comments

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

Nancy Christmas Holidays, Wordless Wednesday , , , , , , 0 Comment

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.

Wordless Wednesday: Just Another Typical Evening in World Showcase

Nancy Wordless Wednesday , , , 0 Comment

You’re strolling along World Showcase before dinner one evening, and suddenly a gentleman brings out a chair or two, and asks for some “help”. Curious, you stop for a moment and wonder what on Earth he is doing. Before you know it, the person who “volunteered” to help, is perched high up in the air, and you are holding your breath hoping that the poor guy doesn’t fall and break his neck. He doesn’t, of course,  🙂 and you applaud this demonstration of balance, courage, and yes, a bit of Disney magic too.

It’s just another typical evening at Epcot. And one of many reasons why you shouldn’t go rushing from one attraction to the next, without stopping to be amazed and entertained every once in a while.
