i recamend watching Tim Burttons "the nightmare before Christmas" before you go so you can understand HMH. our CFO just took his daughters and had never seen the movie. i sugested he did before he went and he was so glad he did. his daughters on the other hand have it memerized like i do :) other then that just enjoy the lights and the sounds of DL. it is always so nice around the holidays.

Our favorite time at the park. Find a spot where it "snows" after the fireworks. We really liked staking out that little indent just to the right of Tommowland entrance to watch. You get the full view of the castle and there is a snow machine right over your head. (note: they seemed to be having some serious trouble with the snow while we were at the park. Very hit and miss on which one were working and which weren't).

Small World is great and we rode HMH for the first time this year. Very cool!

I would highly recommend making time to just stroll the park and take in all of the decorations. They really do a great job of theming the look for each area and the details in the design are great. We also really enjoyed the park after the rides close. You usually get 30-60 minutes to roam around after they close and we spent this time near the castle and just wandering slowly down main street and enjoying the view from both ends and all angles. It's quite beautiful when it's all lit up at night and the views of the tree and castle are great.

Food recommendation -- go to the Blue Ribbon Bakery and get a Hot Chocolate and a Cinnamon Twist and just hang out on main street and enjoy :)
