Holiday Edition: The Everyday Adventures Of The Purple Van

[jdvm]

It’s always fun to drive a purple van around Walt Disney World dropping off Lockers and strollers…but it’s even more fun around the holidays when that amazing talent for theming is focused on decorating the place for Christmas. So I thought it might be fun to have a special Holiday Edition of The Everyday Adventures Of The Purple Van…

This Holiday Edition of The Everyday Adventures will be long on photos and short on text...usually just a quick description of where the photo was taken. And we’ll focus on what we see on our daily delivery and pickup runs….things you might see in the resorts or on the roads…the purple van doesn’t go into parks…and it also ventures off WDW property!

…and I’ll be including a link to a slideshow of the photos…so off we go...ho, ho, ho…

…here comes the Holiday Edition of The Everyday Adventures Of The Purple Van…

The very first sign of the holidays....the entrance to the Magic Kingdom parking lot.

Cool wreath. I want one!

I wonder if we can buy one in the Christmas store in DTD?

What a cool idea! We get to see the resorts transforming for the holidays! LOVE the new wreath on the contemporary.

Thanks for starting this thread, John. I love the Everyday Adventures thread and the holiday edition will be even more special since I'll be at WDW in a few weeks!

I dont think you truly realize what your pics mean to us people not close to our "home"

It truly does make ones day to see your everyday adventures.....

 

[Ms. WDW]

For all the years we've been going to WDW, we've never been there for the Holidays. So thank you John; you've brought the Holidays to us.

[Ms. WDW]

Only a few more weeks till we are there for Christmas! Can't wait...

How wonderful; Christmas in WDW!!! I'm sooooo jealous! I would love to do that; but DH is a traditionalist. But I'm working on getting him there for Thanksgiving someday!!

Add me to the list of people who love your threads. Just your first picture of the sign at the MK parking lot makes me happy...and sad at the same time! It'll be at least a year before we can go again.

But, your pics are a great way to live vicariously through you!

Alway love your pics! Though, I must admit they make me more than a little 'homesick'. I'm hoping there will still be some Christmas docorations up when we arrive Jan. 6th.
