I am so happy for you!
We have been during the christmas madness,
a few things we did to enjoy the "madness'
We decorated our room with Christmas window clings.
Plugged in our inflatable Canadian Polar bear on the balcony.
We bought a small tree in the Christmas store in DTD.(I just set it up in our dining room this year).
We took our empty stockings and some flat gift wrap,tape with us...hung the stockings on the door handles....headed to downtown disney and bought each other 5 small gifts each. We opened our stockings Christmas morning and then headed over to resort restaurant--OKW Olivias for breakfast. (strawberries and whip cream and banana bread french toast). Christmas morning Santa Goofy was down by the boat dock so we got to say hi and take a few pictures. We spent half of the day chilling by the pool and in the early evening we went to DHS for hot chocolate and treats (Writers Shop) and to see the Osborne lights. Lots and lots of people but, not crazy like many experienced over at MK. We wore our santa and elf hats (dollar store) and had a blast all week.
Have a wonderful time making special Christmas memories!
Hugs Mel
PS
having a positive attitude goes a long way when crowds are high.
We gave out thank-you castmember cards and candy canes to the Castmembers.
Remember to stop and take in the "Magic details of Disney at Christmas".
Best wishes.
