Up until 2007, I didn’t think Disney could make Cinderella Castle look any more breathtaking. Then Walt Disney World went and added stunning icicle lights to Cinderella Castle for Christmas. While the lights are no cake 😉 they are still quite stunning, and really put the Magic Kingdom in a festive mood. We’re quite excited
The topiaries, such as this one of Pluto, are one of the last vestiges of Christmas in Epcot’s Future World. While these topiaries are very cool and wonderfully done, to me, Future World still lacks the holiday spirit that can be found in many other parts of Walt Disney World. The caption above is a
Given that this is the first year of the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Walt Disney World since Jennings Osborne, the creator of the light-show upon which the Disney version is based, I’d like to think these angels take on a bit of a special meaning. These lights obviously meant a lot to
Another November is upon us, which means it’s Thanksgiving Christmas season at Walt Disney World. Below you’ll find a brief overview of what to expect this year, with an emphasis placed on what is new for 2011 Christmas Walt Disney World trips!

What do you get when you leave your camera’s shutter open for 239 seconds during the fireworks portion of Holiday Illuminations at Walt Disney World? This.

Don’t expect the Train Station to look this pretty decked out with Christmas decorations in 2011, as the powers that be have left the “Let the Memories Begin” marketing out to clash with the Christmas decorations. Although I’m not a fan of the “Let the Memories Begin” decor in front of the Train Station, it
If you’re a Disney fan, there is no better place than Walt Disney World to have your photo taken to use in your annual Christmas cards. With so many great decorations and locations within Walt Disney World, choosing the best spot can be somewhat daunting. You might find yourself with a veritable case of awesome-overload.
Halloween isn’t even a distant memory, and Thanksgiving has yet to happen. Yet retailers and cities are already beginning to roll out the Christmas decorations. Soon, so will the Brickers! Tonight, actually. I have plenty of excuses as to why (we won’t be at home much between now and Christmas, so we want to get
Holiday Wishes! is by far my favorite Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom fireworks show. Overall, it’s my third favorite fireworks show, behind Remember… Dreams Come True and Illuminations: Reflections of Earth. While I know we have a while to go before it’s the Christmas season again (my favorite time of year!), I thought it’d be
Our Christmas Walt Disney World trip report features tons of photos, including pictures of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Candlelight Processional, the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights, and Mickey’s Jingle Jungle Parade. We also cover some special events, like D23’s Magic and Merriment (which included a tour of the Cinderella Castle Suite) and WDW
The next day was the day of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. We had told Nick the night before that we’d decide that morning whether we were going to Animal Kingdom that morning since the weather was predicted to be bad. Well, the weather was bad, so rather than waste a day of our tickets
