Beautiful tree john, but I'm more impressed by the purple van in the background Thank you for all these wonderful shots taken from Disney both for the season, and long before. I open this thread daily, sometimes several times a day, to see all the great shots and find that happy place. I can't tell you how many times I've been caught at work just staring at one of your images. Nobody questions me on why, they just ask WHO and are very impressed both in the beauty of Disney (most folk think of amusement park) and in that you're a business owner who shares his daily travels with us.

Merry Christmas! Happy New Year & a joyous season to all!

regarding the wreath at blt, i think someone (or a few someones) may have endulged in a few of the ornaments. i was there for 10 days at the beginning of the month and found them to be beautiful, and full of ornaments!!!! maybe i just missed that one, i hope so because the alternative is just sad..........

I love how all the decorations "match" their resort. Don't know if anyone mentioned it - or saw it - but there was a show on HGTV a few weeks ago about the holiday decorating at WDW. It was almost as entertaining as this thread!

Thank you so much for posting all the holiday pictures. It was a great way to map out our own holiday tour last week. When time got short, we used your slide show to see what we wanted to see in person.

Thanks again...great job!!!

That looks like an upside Christmas tree. It is an ancient symbol of the trinity.

RLRDA - They replayed that show on HGTV over the Christmas Weekend. How cool was that to see everything behind the scenes as to what and how and when those beautiful decorations get placed

I have to admit that my kids recorded it with the DVR so we've watched it several (hundred? ) times! I couldn't believe - actually, I could - that they have employees that work 365 days a year on Christmas decorations alone. The attention to detail obviously shows as all of John's pictures prove.

A star shaped wreath (appropriate, huh?!) is featured in the lobby of Disney's All-Star Movies resort...
