What are some special things in the parks/hotels for the kids (and us that are kids at heart) for Christmas? We will be doing 4 days right before Xmas and I want to focus on mainly the Xmas stuff, since it will be our 3rd trip in 3+ months.

The Christmas Fantasy Parade is a MUST for me.

Watch the castle lighting.

Take pics in the Courtyard of Angels.

Where is the Courtyard of Angels?

Where is the Courtyard of Angels?
Go past the Blue Bayou, and at the end of the corridor area is a little area to the left where there is a stairway. That area is teh Courtyard of Angels. It is always decorated beautifully!

There will be special foods sold in restaurants themed with the holidays. Decorations can be a lot of fun to look at. Santa will be there. Last year they had a Beach Blast at DCA. Reindeer games at Big Thunder Ranch that will have activities and reindeers. Characters will be decked out in holiday clothing sometimes. Hotels will have decorations and the GCH is so beautiful at Christmas.

Ok, Mal. Who's who in that pic?Back row it Youngest on the left, and MDM on the right, with puppy S in between. In front Escape Artist to the left, and The Heir to the right.

Awesome picture Mal! But someone needs to photoshop demon dogs eyes to a normal color!


I had a tradition of taking my kids pics in the courtyard for a long time but the last couple of trips it simply didn't work out.
