The day we visited Disneyland was a picture perfect day. Blue skies, warm 60+ degree weather, big crowds and Christmas!! Upon enter the magic kingdom you are greeting with the most breath taking Christmas Tree. The presents, poinsettias, wreathes and garlands all accumulate in the view of Disney's Christmas Tree. The "Tree" was spectacular. Town Square looked like a postcard from Christmas in the 1950's and my dreams. Walking into the Magic Kingdom and seeing the "Tree" I knew the today would be special.
As usually, Disney spares no expense and Christmas is no different. Visit at Christmas is a must see and well worth the trip. The ambiance, music, decorations and celebrations are all wrapped into a picture perfect snap shot.
Just a few of the larger than life (or at least larger than my head!) ornaments:
Santa
Gingerbread man
Toy Soldier
Musical Instruments
Stars, Balls, Bells, Bows
Birds
The kids had a complete blast. The whole family cannot wait to come back again at Christmas Time.
View down Mainstreet. Even at 9 am the crowds were forming!!
Poinsettias Galore!!
I am really grateful to Disney for complimentary passes to see, explore and experience Disneyland and California Adventure at Christmas!! Due to terrible weather in SoCal the week prior to our visit (on 12/27) Disneyland was packed. We were told by multiple cast members that they were expecting a larger volume of visitors (more than normal for Christmas) because of the rains the week before. I am not sure how many more people were actually visiting Disneyland but I personally had never seen it sooo congested. Long ride lines and stand still traffic was the order of the day.
That being said......We had a great time. It was magical and memorable and I would do it again in a heart beat.
Next Friday ~ Tips and Tricks to using the Fast Pass and what we thought of the Toy Story 3 ride!!
