Your ULTIMATE SURVIVAL GUIDE to Disney World at Christmas Time! UPDATE x2 10/21

[LifeIsDis]

I seriously can’t wait to see everything (by everything I mean the amazing Christmas decorations) in November. IT LOOKS SO AMAZING.

Like I have said before, your pictures are just incredible. They completely capture everything!

I just can’t get over how amazing the Osborne Spectacle of Lights is. Oh. My. God.

 

[IheartDDuck]

I love the shirt you're wearing. It's so you.

DHS is the best at night! So much fun!!! Those PP pictures are too cute.

OMG I totally agree. I honestly feel like Streets of America is just there FOR the Osborne Lights now. Hahah I mean normally there's a couple meet and greets and some semi decent photo-ops. But at Christmas... KA-BLAM!!!! It's the place to be!

OMG IS THE NEXT DAY WHAT I THINK IT IS?!?!?! Or... is there another one?

It seriously is!! I'm so glad they have the space for it!
YOU ARE CORRECT MY FRIEND! ​

Seeing your pictures brings back so many emotions from my trip in December!

Your right, pictures do not do the Lights justice! Haha!
The best memories from my trip were sitting on the street drinking hot chocolate and eating cookies and just watching the lights dance!!! Oh!!!!!! Just thinking about it makes me want to go back this year!!!!

And I agree with your tweet about being a hostess! I'm at Disney now with my friend's family and I am trying my best to use my insane amount of Disney knowledge to help us out

 

[librarymouse]

I just love seeing all of your fantastic pictures of the Osborne Spectacle of Lights! You are right, it's indescribable- you just have to experience it! It is so magical and Christmassy, and it makes for the best Christmas card pictures!

The Cape May buffet looks so delicious!! I must track down those Oreo Bon Bons!

Your Woody T-shirt is awesome!

 

[Kelliroo3]

I love your Toy Story shirt! So cute. And, so appropriate for your TSM obsession! That's amazing how many times you rode it that day!! Way to make us all proud!

Osborne Lights. Ahh. I love them so much. Wish I could see them every Christmas. So gorgeous. I love the music and the show too. All around mesmerizing.

I love all your pin trades. Especially the Maelstrom fast pass. Haha.

The weather looked so nice! It's hard to imagine being in shorts and Tshirts at Christmas time!!

 

[Caretames1]

I can't wait to see them in Nov! Was it very crowded, or were you able to move freely?

 

[therussells08]

Yay, your DHS pictures absolutely beautiful!

Awww I love the Osborne Lights so much!! I never get tired of looking at pictures of them! I think your mom's description is really accurate- they make the hairs on my arms stand up too! They're just so beautiful!

A perfect Disney day! There's nothing better!

HI JESS!! I don't think I have posted to any of your trip reports, but I have read all of them. LOVE THEM!

Just a quick comment about FP and TSMM with a party of two....My husband and I were in WDW in May and on 2 of the occasions that we went thru the FP line at TSMM we were directed to the right, walked all the way to the bottom of the steps to the cast member directing where to go who asked how many in our party...then proceeded to wait while they loaded umpteen parties of 2 from the standby line. Did not make any sense. Total FP fail! There were about 4 couples (including us) that were standing there waiting while the CM continued to pull parties of 2 from the standby line.

So I guess it just depends on the CM that you get. But, this did happen to us twice. We would have been better off staying to the left and merging with the standby line.

Thanks again for your reports!

 

[lovegrumpy]

Loving the pictures. Sure makes me think we didn't stay long enough to look around when we went back in 07.

 

[petals]

Luvin your more Osbourne Lights pics.
I learnt something recently about those blue angels in the middle of them all there was one white Angel and that was put up in memory of Jennings Osbourne because last year was first year he couldn't be there and it was to symbolise the fact he's now with his angels or something. I was super excited looking back at my pics that I actually have it in one of my pics because I didn't know that when I was there

 

[emma212010]

WOW I'm far behind! All caught up now, though!

I love your pictures!! They are absoultely beautiful!!

OMG BEIGNETS ARE SO GOOD!!! I can't wait to have them in 6 DAYSSSSS!!!!!

I love how much you love TSM! That is so awesome you got to ride so much!

 

[MarieLightning]

Oh wow, those pictures are amaaazing!

The Osborne Lights are incredible on images, I can't even imagine what they'd look like in real life

I'm gonna be in DHS on November 12th, I hope they've started it up by then

Seriously! I tried my best but being there is still so much better!
Aww that's so magical! I wish I could go back this year too.
Hahaha it's SO true, right?!

Thank you so much! I thought it was perfect. Haha thank you!
So do I! They're so magical.
Thank you! That's one of my top favorite pins ever.
It was BEAUTIFUL! It was hard to believe!

I can't wait to see them in Nov! Was it very crowded, or were you able to move freely?

Oh I had no problem moving freely! There is tons of space! And just think - I was there during Christmas week! Needless to say I may be getting immune to crowd levels at Disney, but still, I didn't have a problem! You should be FINE in November!

Yay, your DHS pictures absolutely beautiful!

Hi there! Thank you so much for reading!
Aww I'm sorry that happened to you. Yeah, they will load a lot of people from the other side in ahead of you, but still it is typically much faster to be on the right side if the ride is busy like it was during the christmas season.
You're welcome! Thank you so much for reading them!

Loving the pictures. Sure makes me think we didn't stay long enough to look around when we went back in 07.

Aww I guess you'll just have to go back, then! Thank you!

That's SUCH a beautiful story! I never heard that before either but now that's a great piece of trivia to keep in the back of my mind for next time!

[__disneygirl]

WOW, I just posted a very similar update involving an evening in Hollywood, TSM, Osborne Lights... etc! We are twins.

I love when they let you skip the last part of the line at TSM. That was like my saving grace during my morning marathons! It shaves like 10 minutes off! I may or may not have yelled "EAT MY DUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" at people who still had to wait in line. I really don't remember.

All your Osborne Lights pictures are bringing back such wonderful memories...sigh. As beautiful as they are though, it just doesn't compare to being there in person of course. Like I honestly couldn't believe how much my breath was taken away. I want to go back during Christmas SO BAD! I really need to spend more time there and see if I can find EVERY hidden Mickey, and the cat!
