Christmas at AKL?

[vic32]

I have not seen anything about the AKL at Christmas. Do they not decorate the hotel? And Is there a do not miss event at the parks besides the MVMCP?
I know about the Osbourne lights, is there anything else that would just be heartbreaking to miss!

Oh boy do they ever decorate for the hollidays. AKL is no exception. It is breath taking. Yes do not miss the Osbourne lights. If you can go to MVMCP 2x, then do it. You won't regret that. Ecpot has the tree lighting ceramony. That is a big deal. You also have the different santas around world showcase. Also, at this time you will have the different celebs reading the story of Christmas. We didn't do this last year, but some day we will...

AKL is beautiful during the holidays! I was lucky enough that the decorations were still up in early January and I was able to see them! This picture is from allears.

Depending ont the age of you son, last year my DS was able to create a Christmas Tree ornament using Ostrich eggs. He had a blast. I think the cost was $2 which went to the conservation fund. They did it in the lobby area -- you might check for activities like these. And, they also have a variety of other kid activities that are very enjoyable. This is a beautiful resort.

Another thing to check out is the entertainment in the GF lobby area. The gingerbread house, which they create from scratch each year, is amazing. They use it as a gift snack shack. And, they continuously have a variety of Christmas entertainment in the lobby. The tree there is also gorgeous.

Also, many of the resort staffs create Christmas villages at the hotels. There will be one at the AKL and I know the BC and YC as well as Boardwalk all have different things the staff creates for the lobby area. It is worth taking a trip to the hotels to check out the decorations. Disney does Christmas in a spectacular way.

Oh yes, and at DTD they have different groups entertaining, too, plus a tree lighting ceremony ... and one at MK.

Was at AKl last christmas and it was very nice. I would recommend the candlelight presessional (spelling?) at Ecpot. Have gone to it several times and it is always great.

Agree 100 % with how great AKL decorations are for Christmas and have also done the candlelight procession (with dinner package) more than once and would do it again.
