The Holidays at the Happiest Place on Earth! Part 1

It's hard to find a person that doesn't enjoy the Winter Holidays at least a little bit. It's even harder to find a Disney fanatic, like all of us, that doesn't enjoy this special time of year to really let our Disney creative and planning juices to flow. I know for me, the day after Thanksgiving is the day that my mother, brother, sister, and I transform our house from ordinary into a Disney Winter Wonderland full of ornaments, trains, and tons of pixie dust(pictures of this year's decorations will be up as soon as they are up). Amanda Tinney(@amandatinney) of Disney Every Day says that she has a plethora of Disney Storybook ornaments and has an all Disney Christmas Tree, which sounds like my kinda tree! Lynette Perez(@MistressLynnie) watches Disney Christmas specials and for the first time since 1998, will be going to WDW for her Holiday celebrations!

But the Holidays at WDW, from a first-hand experience is something that any WDW fan can never miss in their life, no exaggerations. It is a breath-taking, beautiful sight of light, hope, and “snow.” Though it can get crowded at some points during the Winter, it all worth it for the Holiday spirit, which any person can love and enjoy. Within the coming weeks, I want to be able to bring a little Disney Holiday cheer throughout this blog post. There's so much going on at WDW during the holidays that I find it impossible to put it all in one blog!

WDW is full of great holiday food, decorations, and activities. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is just one example of the many things to look forward to this Holiday season. When you first walk into the Magic Kingdom for this party, starting at 7pm, Cinderella's Castle is at it's best, shimmering with beautiful lights that make you stop in the middle of Main Street. But we can't forget Main Street itself! Adorned with garland, wreaths, lights, and “snow,” Main Street glows with a brightness that is only shown once a year.

One of the great things Mickey's Very Merry includes with your ticket, ranges from $55-62 Adult and $45-56 children, is the complimentary Hot Chocolate and cookies. Now, I have yet to attend this event, but I'm pretty sure that it being Disney and all, these snacks have got to hit the spot with the perfect setting. With so many people attending, guests feel that the amount of people just adds to the fun and splendor of the season.

Of course, Disney never fails to awes their guests with their spectacular parades and tear-jerking fireworks. This event does not disappoint. Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is a fun, magical, Christmas filled parade with a surprise guest at the end: Santa Claus himself! And of course, the Holiday Wishes is an unforgettable show that is not to be missed.

I'd love to hear about what you guys have done for Christmas at WDW. And if you haven't gone, what would you like to do? What would you like to learn about? Let me know in the comments below or follow me on Twitter @DisneySoprano.

Until next time!! I shall hopefully be covering Thanksgiving at WDW. Have a Magical day! :)
