In Mousesteps Weekly #168, we talk about the following topics:
Our first stop is
Disney's Grand Floridian Gingerbread House, where we went almost immediately after landing from our
Disneyland trip for the grand opening ceremony.
Chef Erich was on hand, along with
Mickey Mouse! And several days per week in December, guests can enjoy a sample of roasted chestnuts.
We went to the first day of Epcot
Holidays Around the World, a tradition for us. There are over 20 special entertainment offerings during the holidays, including
Joyful!,
Holiday Voyageurs in
Canada, storytelling around
World Showcase and more. Topiaries again grace the front of Epcot, as well as at the entrance to World Showcase.
As we usually do, we went to
Disney's Beach Club Resort from there to see the Beach
Club Gingerbread
Carousel. The horses are always themed to the name, like
Admiral for
Disney's
Yacht Club themed horse.
Our favorite place to meet
Santa is at the
Walt Disney World Swan and
Dolphin Hotel!
The Christmas tree lighting ceremony happens at 6pm on select days during December, and the casually dressed, vacationing couple from the
North Pole greet guests with their helper
Kandy Kane. After that, we check out the large chocolate Santa display in the
Swan.
We walked back to Epcot, where we enjoyed the Candelight Processional with narrator
Gary Sinise. He is always a favorite of ours!
Our last stop is
Gaylord Palms, where we enjoyed
ICE! and all that goes with it. For guests who wish to visit the 9 degree attraction, we recommend making it a half day and seeing "
Cirque Dreams Unwrapped", checking out the atrium, the Elf on the Shelf scavenger hunt, and more. We decorated gingerbread cookies, met Santa and had breakfast with
Mrs. Claus.
Check out the Gaylord Palms website for the schedule, because not everything happens each day.
