Disney World Christmas 2023 part 1

26-29 Nov

Took a quick impromptu trip to Orlando to experience the Christmas stuff there. Had a great time!

Went to Disney springs directly from the airport (flew into the other Orlando airport which I will never do again. Uber was like an hour!)
Ate at The Edison. Super cool place!

Delicious food. Mashed potatoes are always a hit!
Took the key lime pie to go. Enjoyed it several places.
Took the bus to the hotel. Stayed at All-Star Musuc. Won’t do that again. Hard to get anywhere. Long bus lines.
The Mickey towel is quite cute, however.
Headed to Epcot for the afternoon and evening
I love the Way of Water attraction
Beautiful and cool!
And speaking of cool, it was actually chilly there that week. Wore a hoodie most of the time and actually bought a beanie!
Very pretty decked out for the holidays
Father Christmas at the England pavilion
The absolute highlight was the candlelight processional. Beautiful big choir and a guest narrator telling the story of Christmas. An amazing way to spend a Sunday night.
Dinner at the Rose and Crown. Plant-based shepherds pie…amazing!
Sticky toffee pudding is incredible!
Started Monday at Magic Kingdom with a peppermint eclair
Big Thunder
Tiana’s is starting to take shape
Big Thunder again!
And again!
Haunted mansion…yaaaas
Cool thunder and lightning effects
Pretty park
Carousel
Jingle cruise
Waiting for lunch at Skippers Cantina in the comfy chairs
Amazing lunch
I don’t really like tofu but this pineapple stuff is pretty great
Swiss Family Treehouse
Winnie the Pooh. Found a new eeyore friend πŸ’š
Love listening to the Main Street piano player
The liberty belle just makes me miss the Mark Twain even more!
Playing on Tom Sawyer’s Island
Got a pretty nice shot of big thunder from the fort
Love the railroad!
I prefer ours but any space mountain is a good time
Funky stitch dessert
Pirates!
Big Thunder yet again!
Took the monorail on a gingerbread tour, stopping at the Contemporary
Then the grand Floridian
The house this year has an actual store in it!
Bought some gingerbread. It was unfortunate. I miss the good stuff at Disneyland
Yay Tron!!
Found a great spot to watch the fireworks. Standing in front of plaza restaurant waiting to be seated. In the stroller parking
Great impossible burger
Incredible key lime pie shake!
Fun Main Street windows 😊
