Going there for Christmas for the first time. What's theming?

I posted this earlier, but I don't think it's getting much attention in it's subforum.

I've been to Disney World a few times. I will be there during December for a week and I'm wondering what are there to see during the Christmas time.

I'm looking forward to see the Christmas theme decorations. Currently, I think it's mainly Epcot, MK, and the Grand Floridian. What other places have good presentations on the Christmas themes?

I'll be eating at some new restaurants I haven't been. I'm planning to see the Candlelight Processional using a restaurant reservation.

For Downtown Disney, is there only one bus transportation area? There was two on both ends of DTD, but I think with Disney Springs, they closed that off, correct?

Also, what do I need to do to get a (car) boat ride by the Boathouse in DTD.

Any additional ideas where to visit for the Christmas themes would be great.

I agree with this. The Osborne lights are amazing, and I'll take the fake snow they have there instead of the real stuff any day!

I'd also check out World Showcase during December. It's really interesting to see how each country celebrates the holidays!

If you take in Hoop-de-Doo review, take some time to stroll through the motorhomes near Pioneer Hall. There are many regulars who take great pride in decorating for the holidays and it is very impressive.
