Looking back at Fort Wilderness during the Christmas Holidays

We love going over to Fort Wilderness during the Christmas Holidays, it’s been a tradition for us for over five years. It’s not what Walt Disney World does during the holidays that’s so OMG AMAZING… It’s what the guests staying at Fort Wilderness do! The lights! The blow-ups! The handmade things (Cinderella Castle anyone)!

We

Santa’s Favorite Resort – looking back to 2012 Holidays

Santa Claus, Mrs Claus and Kandy Kane are at the Swan & Dolphin Resort Causeway for a very limited period of time (Friday & Saturday immediately after Thanksgiving, same the next weekend, then Thursday, Friday, & Saturday for two weeks) – of course, they all have to return to the North Pole in order to

We went over to Kidani Village for the Lunch with an Animal Specialist with Kris & Kevin on Thanksgiving weekend (blog post coming after Epiphany 🙂 but here’s a link to when we did this earlier in 2013)…

Yacht Club Decor – Holidays 2013

Yacht Club Display – Holidays 2013

The Yacht Club breaks with the whole gingerbread display concept seen at a lot of the other deluxe resorts (although, it’s worth noting that the Polynesian does very little to get all dolled up for Christmas)… I’m not sure if you’d call the Yacht Club’s display a train set or not, it’s a rather elaborate

Let’s take a look at past holidays – Beach Club

It seems to me that we have photos (somewhere) of the Beach Club Chocolate Carousel going back quite a ways… (well before we started this blog!)…
