Christmas in Orlando Part 1

Merry Christmas!! The day is finally here and I still have a few more photos I’d like to share.  I’ve posted a lot so far of the spectacle that is Disney’s Christmas Celebration, but now I’d like to share how I’m celebrating.  I am so very far away from my family, and many good friends.  I miss you all, and want to show you a little of my Christmas!  I am breaking these last photos down into two posts because I have so many! 

We took Little Bit to the town of Celebration.  He’s such a sweet little guy, the sweetest in fact I have ever met.

Now obviously it’s not really snowing here in the sunshine state.   However Celebration has all kinds of Christmas festivities including “snow” and an ice rink.   Little Bit loved the snow for about one minute, then just wanted all the weird white stuff off his feet.  He wouldn’t stand still long enough for me to take any photos of  him.

This is me giving the ice rink a shot.  The kids seemed to be having a great time sliding around, but I didn’t have too much luck.  It was still fun though!

 

Then I got to ride in the Christmas parade at Animal Kingdom with two of my favorite people!

It wasn’t really cold outside… But it’s fun to pretend!

 

I love this guy.  We live at Disney, and he does treat me like his princess.  He makes me smile and laugh every single day, no matter what. 

My Disney pals say Merry Christmas to you all!

 

 

Donald is especially handsome, I think.  Though Mickey has a special place in my heart too!

 

The next post coming soon will have pictures from the Candlelight Processional and, my favorite, photos of my Little Bit dressed up for the holidays!

Thanks for stopping by! 

Welcome Fall!

Or so the sign says… I absolutely love the fall.  Cool weather perfect for being outside, and so many beautiful colors!  However these photos were taken on a day many places would consider quite summer-like.  Little Bit was skeptical about the sign too, as he sunbathed while I had a nice lunch at the cafe.

Nevertheless, the sign said so and my calendar agreed, so we set out to find some evidence of fall.  If the cool weather hadn’t made it yet, maybe at least we could find the colors. 

These vibrant flowers showcased the signature orange and yellow we were looking for! 

These decorations were also beautiful, but still not quite the proof we needed.

Now we’re getting closer!  Little Bit found this colorful leaf above while playing in the dirt, which unfortunately for him meant another bath.  Meanwhile, I stepped right over the one below on the sidewalk.

Continuing on our journey, we saw this bridge and of course I had to cross it!

Little Bit was a little unsure considering all the wind...

But I convinced him he would be okay as it wasn’t a very high bridge.  And it’s a good thing too, because just on the other side we found this beautiful fall foliage deep in cluster of trees. 

Now he is convinced, and so am I.  Fall is indeed here.  And I”m so very very excited that tomorrow the temperature is actually supposed to be in the 60s, so it will actually feel a little like fall. 

Halloween

I’m not a huge fan of all the blood and gore, but Halloween can still be a really fun time!  I took a walk in the beautiful town of Celebration, FL and they were definitely ready for the big day.

These birds were a little ominous

  Then I ran into this pirate ship!

A few shots of some details are below.  So much work went into this!

 

  

A little creepy, but the detail is amazing!

And here is a little Halloween, Disney style.  A pumpkin carving contest, these were two of my favorites.

I did spend a little time making my costume (the tutu, hat, and buttoned suspenders), so had to go out and show it off. 

 

Mario was a little star struck.

 

Happy Halloween!  Thanks for stopping by!
