Christmas Presents!

[iluvgoofy24]

My family and I are going to The World for Xmas next year (well Dec. 27th-Jan. 3rd) it will be our first trip around Xmas, but we have been there tons of times. I wanted to get my family something that we can do as a group for Xmas at Disney World, the ages at the time of the trip will be (mom-53, dad-52, sister-28, me-24 and brother-13)....Any suggestions?!? I mean it can be something for my sister, brother or I, the whole group or whatever!1 Just thought it would be fun on Xmas day to open up Disney themed gifts!! Thanks for your help!!!

We have been to wdw for the past 4 xmas weeks and the last 3 we have chosen not to go to a park because of the craziness and crowds. We go so often that we really love seeing the holiday stuff even more than some of the rides. I always bring small stocking and a few holiday disney beanies to decorate the room(OKW). We have late breakfast on xmas day(1900PF-great for the last 3 years) and then either go to a movie/DTD. This year, I surprised DH and DS and got tickets to ICE! at Gaylord Palms Hotel. It is really fun. The convention center has huge life-size ice sculptures. It is about 10 degrees so they give everyone parkas and you tour through it -they even have an ice slide at the end for whomever wants. It was nice..we then headed to the movies at DTD and then relaxed until xmas dinner at Boma. Very festive! Not totally a disney surprise, but a nice holiday treat.

What a great idea connears! I agree, that would be a neat gift-if you want to go off property.
I also like the idea of getting up late, eating a nice breakfast and skipping the parks.
You could do a party cruise complete with cake and drinks. I don't remember how much they are, but I don't think they're too bad. Or, on the same lines, you could just rent a pontoon and float around on the lake for a while.
