UPDATED 11/25 ***The Dolphin Lobby's Transformation to Christmas

[PandyPaws]

When I arrived yesterday, the Dolphin's lobby fountain was already covered up with boards in preparation for building their huge Christmas tree. From what I recall from last year, the process takes several days, I remember coming down each morning to find something new added. It was really cool to see. I took this pic this morning....and I'll take a pic every day and post it to show you the progress of how it all comes together.....so far it's the form of the tree itself. Lights and decorations will be added, then toys and presents, then "snow", and then finally the really cool train
(I'll also try to remember and take the rest of the pics at night, to avoid that glare of sunshine )

That's really cool Donna, looking forward to seeing the rest of the pictures as you take them.

As for the weather, I don't know about Orlando but it never got above 60 here in Tampa today. The sun was shining so it wasn't too cool, it was a beautiful day.

It was brrr chilly today! I wore a sweatshirt all day for the Keys to the Kingdom tour and for the afternoon at the MK....came back to the room and added my leater jacket for MGM....and I was STILL cold standing out there at 7:48 watching the Space Shuttle! ACK...turn on the furnace, somebody!! this is NOT nice

I'm looking forward to that glare of sunshine, Donna.

I think it's still warmer in Florida than it is in Michigan. I will suffer gladly those Florida temperatures.

The pictures are great, I haven't ever been in the Swan or Dolphin, so this is a real treat for me. Thanks for bringing your laptop and downloading the pictures. It is very thoughtful.
