Getting in the Christmas mood at Disney World!

We had such a fun time at Disneyworld on our Thanksgiving vacation. We loved seeing all the parks decked out for Christmas. Some of our favorites were the parades, the fireworks shows, eating popcorn and popsicles, enjoying the 80+ weather, and seeing our little Jakon very happy! We went to Mickey's Christmas party and highly recommend it. The park closes for the day and re-opens for those with a separate ticket. Admissions are limited, and that means short lines, and not nearly as crowded. Our longest wait that night was 10 minutes. There was also snow falling on Main Street, and several locations with free hot chocolate and cookies.














Jackson really liked everything about Animal Kingdom. It's a zoo and Disney combined - what could be better? He also really enjoyed the merry-go-round, Small World, and Peter Pan. He really liked meeting Lightening McQueen and Mater, but was not fond of "real" characters, like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Handy Manny, or the Einsteins. He always liked the idea of meeting them, but would chicken out just as we always got to the front of the like. Jack wasn't a fan of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad either. It was far too fast for our little guy, who told us on numerous times to "get me out of here"! He learned to cover his eyes and hide when he got too scared. He was the perfect age to absorb all the magic of Disney!
