Welcome to the Moms Panel Michael!
Currently, there aren't any tours of the Disney World Resort Hotels to see the holiday decorations but they are certainly worth catching a bus, monorail or boat to get to them.
The Gingerbread House at the Grand Floridian is a must do. After that, hop on the resort monorail & head over to the Contemporary Resort. In the Grand Canyon Concourse you'll find a 17 ft Gingerbread Holiday Tree. You'll also find a one-of-a-kind Contemporary Resort Gingerbread House complete with a chocolate monorail riding through it.
One of my favorite displays is at Disney's Beach Club Resort. There you'll find a magnificent life-size Holiday Carousel. And yes - its edible! Did I mention is also spins??
When you've finished at Beach Club, climb aboard a Friendship Boat & cruise over to Disney's Boardwalk Resort. A gazebo in the lobby features a holiday scene made of gingerbread & chocolate. Hungry yet? Head into the Boardwalk Bakery for some delicious treats.
You can finish your day at Downtown Disney for some holiday shopping & dinner during
Festival of the Seasons. Santa will be there from Nov 19 - Dec 24, 2011. After that, Santa Goofy will take his place from Dec 25, 2011 - Jan 2, 2012.
The
Yuletide Fantasy Tour &
Holiday D-Lights tours feature holiday experiences in the theme parks & backstage areas. These awesome tours book up fast so if you're interested I'd call 407-WDW-TOUR soon. You can also book online by clicking on the links.
Wishing you minnie magical holiday memories :-) Allison
