Christmas with Mickey and Minnie

December 24, 2009

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Can you believe this special day is almost here? This past week, my family and I have spent every possible moment watching holiday movies including A Year Without a Santa Claus and The Grinch. If only the Christmas season would last a little longer… I feel like it always goes by so quickly!

Yesterday, my family and I took a road trip to Orlando to enjoy the Disney holiday decorations. Our first pit stop was at Downtown Disney.

We strolled through the shops and discovered adorable Pluto, Mickey, and Winnie the Pooh dolls.

This magical Glass Slipper Ornament also caught our eye.

For lunch we ate at Earl of Sandwich in Downtown Disney.

Everything on the menu looked so good, but I ended up choosing the Chicken & Cobb Salad Wrap. It was seriously one of the best wraps I’ve ever had!

After lunch, we strolled into Goofy’s Candy Co. to admire the all of the delicious and sugary treats.

On display for a whopping $49.95 was this Rice Krispies Mickey Mouse cake!

Even the Candy Apples were decked out in Disney Christmas style.

After we explored all of the shops, we then drove to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge to admire their cozy, Christmas decorations. This 65-foot tree stood in the center of the lodge was decorated head to toe in moose, tents, canoes, and other outdoorsy ornaments.

Next, we boarded a boat and traveled to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground.

Every year, the campground holds a very special Christmas light decorating contest for the campers who stay at the park. Whoever decks out their campside in the most creative Disney holiday decorations, wins first prize.

Here are a few of the amazing decorations on display:

Disney sure does know how to turn up the holiday magic! :)

Time to get ready for Christmas Eve dinner at my grandparents house. Have a very happy and safe holiday everyone!

    We spent Thanksgiving at Disney this year. Such a magical place!

  17. December 28, 2009 11:46 pm

    I’ll be there soon!!!! Unforch, my parents said we probably won’t be majorly hitting up the parks since it’s kind of an impromptu trip and we’ve been a few times already. Looks SO holiday-esque though!!

    So jealous! I would LOVE to be at Disney around Christmas time. I grew up in Orlando so probably went when I was too young to remember. lol Looks like you guys had a great time!
