Where to start...how about the beginning?

We've now been home from our winter Disney getaway for a week and I've wanted so much to blog about our trip but haven't had a clue where to even start...so I've decided to start in the most logical place...the beginning! It has honestly always been a dream of mine to visit Disney during the Christmas season...to see all the lights and decorations done in true Disney style. This year it became reality! It was everything I'd hoped it would be and more! December has definitely become my favorite time of year to visit...not to mention it was pretty nice to go from 18 degrees to 81 in just a few hours!

We spent our first Disney day at Epcot. Here's a bit of what we did while we were there...

Notice we are in long sleeves...it was freezing! It was even colder when night fell, and I was tempted to buy one of those $60 Disney hoodies, but thank goodness I held out because it certainly warmed up by the very next day!


Visited with Nemo & Friends


Took a trip to Mars in Mission: Space


Check out that tree!


Stopped in Morocco for some lunch and delicious Baklava!


Went back to the U.S.A. where we found this life-size gingerbread house


What a recipe!


Enjoyed a nice drum show in Japan


Posed for a picture in Italy =) My favorite thing about Epcot is visiting the different countries. During Christmas, each country has a special event describing their Christmas traditions.


Visited some Vikings in Norway


Saw an amazing candlelight processional including a mass choir and orchestra, accompanied by celebrity narrator, Andy Garcia. They told the TRUE story of Christmas in the most beautiful way!


Watched IllumiNations fireworks show...definitely the best fireworks in Disney World!


Took in one last 3D show...Honey I Shrunk the Audience


And said "Good Night" to Epcot
