Christmas Time

[shopgirl78]

We want to do a trip during Christmas time, November-December-ish in 2013. We have only just begun discussing this trip, but it may very well become more than a daydream. I have been told that WL is gorgeous during this time. What other resorts (if any) go all out for Christmas?

The GF and the BC also decorate beautifully - I have not visited the others yet.

The most beautiful are the deluxes; it is easy to do the monorail loop for GF, Poly, and CR and then hop on the boat over to WL.

Then you can do the boat loop to BC, BW, and YC.

DTD is also nicely decorated for the holidays; they have an entire shop devoted to Disney Christmas ornaments that is a lot of fun to walk through - as well as the Disney store itself.

Of the mods, CSR is the prettiest; followed by POR. CSR is mostly indoors, while POR is a lot of nice landscaping with poinsettas.

BC and YC are gorgeous. WE stayed at BC last year and loved the gingerbread carousel and all the fun things. The Boardwalk also does a ton of decorations. I believe all the deluxes do. My favorites are the GF and the BC.

Our favorite during the holidays is the WL, followed by the GF, BC/YC, and BWI. All of the resorts are nicely decorated with some doing more than others, but all are very nice.

All of the deluxe resorts are beautifully decorated for Christmas. We loved the Beach Club, Wilderness Lodge, Boardwalk and Grand Floridian, too. They all have such different theming. The Wilderness Lodge has the most “Christmas-like” feeling to it.

We went Christmas 2011 - All the deluxe resorts are decorated for Christmas & are beautiful. I would recommend a visit to each one to view the decorations. We did this by planning table service meals around each location. We ate at Cape May and went for a visit to Beach/Yacht/Boardwalk. Ate at Ohana and checked out Polynesian/Contemporary/Grand Floridian. We had dinner at Whispering Canyon Cafe/ Wilderness Lodge very nice Lobby. We were staying at AKL - Kidani - They have great decoration along with the Main House at AKL - Jambo House. The best time to visit is after dark, then you get to see the lights on.

The park decorations are fab also. I really enjoyed the snow on Main Street at MK every night. It was spectacular. Most of the park decorations are at the entrance of each parks with other smaller decorations spread about. With the exception of Osborne Lights at Hollywood Studios & World Showcase at Epcot. Meet and Greet at Animal Kingdom in Camp MinnieMickey is awesome. All the characters are dressed up for xmas & have individual small trees decorated in their honor. Very cute.

We had a wonderful Gingerbread Cupcake at Hollywood Studios. I highly recommend it.

Epcot had marvelous decorations around World Showcase. Love the decorations in America and we enjoy listening to each xmas/new year tale. The voices of Liberty were awesome. They sing xmas carols.

Highly recommend the Candlelight Processional at Epcot.

Sadly, we missed Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. I am sure it is fab also. I have heard great things about it.

Have fun & enjoy. We went the week of Christmas and it was packed to capacity. We had a great time but refuse to return at that time of year unless it is the first or second week of December.

Also, all the resorts have some sort of Christmas decoration & you can visit the others.
