We're here right now! For Christmas Eve, we went to MK in the morning, relaxed at our resort, had dinner at Yachtsman Steakhouse, and walked over to HS for the Osborne Lights. We had wanted to bring our daughter to Epcot to see Santa and Mrs. Claus (who are FANTASTIC), but she informed us that "I already saw Santa!" at DTD earlier in the week.

On Christmas we went to MK in the morning and left around 1:30. Our daughter passed out hard at 12:45 in her stroller so we took the monorail to GF to see their decorations and get some gingerbread cookies. We relaxed at our hotel and then took the boat to Wilderness Lodge for holiday dinner at Whispering Canyon. We chose it specifically because they offered a Christmas dinner of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc. It was good but not great.

You'll have a blast no matter what, it's awesome here during Christmas!

We just got back today.

On Christmas Eve, we had an "off day" (no parks). We exchanged Christmas presents (since we knew we'd be getting up early the next morning), lounged around the pool, and had dinner at Cali Grill.

On Christmas Day, we went to AK-- BEST park that day! No crowds in the morning at all. Then dinner at Trails End at Fort Wilderness (not good-- will skip next time.)

We did Christmas in 2010 and will be doing it again this year.

Christmas Eve - Magic Kingdom Day - BBB and dinner at CRT. We had a window seat at CRT and watched the fireworks through the window. It was a very nice Christmas Eve.

Christmas Day - Santa visited us at Coronado Springs, so we did the normal Christmas morning stuff in our room. That evening, we ate at Les Chefs de France with the Candlelight Processional package, so we saw the program then watched Illuminations from the reserved area. It was crowded, but since we had set plans, we weren't trying to ride rides or fight the crowds.
