A Very Disney Christmas

I don't know if you know this about me, but my family is pretty obsessed with Disney World. We love it. Mike and I even went there on our honeymoon, mostly because he knew how excited I would be to go back. That being said...we have met our match. In fact, I think we have even been surpassed by our friends Hannah and Sam Midgett. They LOVE Disney World. So...who better to go with??? After many months of planning and waiting, we finally went this week! It was so fun, and I definitely recommend going at Christmas. I could write for days and days about my favorite things to do and all of the Christmas decorations. Seriously, I think I saw more Christmas trees, garlands, and lights this week than in all of my Christmases put together. Today, though, I'll just stick with some of my favorites! They may not be in order...I can never figure out how to upload pictures on here!

Mike and I in front of Cinderella's Castle. So pretty! It was covered in icicles!

Hannah and I at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party...we had to come ready to play! The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. AMAZING! I have never seen anything like it, and Mike said it was his favorite part of the whole trip. Basically, back in the 80s a man started covering his house in Christmas lights and decorations for his daughter...and it was a very big house. Eventually he had to buy his neighbors' houses too, because it got so big and crazy (and isn't that the solution to everything????). Disney bought the display from them, and the rest is history. Just a little tip in case you ever go: make sure you are there before they light them for the night: it "snows" and most of the fun is being there when they first come on! The gingerbread carousel at the Beach Club resort...we stayed next door at the Yacht Club, but we had to make it over to see this thing!
Sam and Hannah on Toy Story Midway Mania...or something like that. A crazy fun ride!
Hannah and I...It's tough to be a bug!
50s Prime Time Cafe!
Goofy...good thing he has a life jacket! I love riding in the car with dinos...

LEGO Santa...a good time.

It looks like you guys had a great time! When Harper gets older - maybe you can serve as tour guide!

Who is that person that doesn't "get" the DW "thing"? We should take up charity to take her there and save her! She is living in the darkness!
