Since being together with John, we have traveled to Disney every year, well this year was no exception. At first, we had no plans of going, since we just got married and would traveling to Ohio for Christmas, but John had his heart set on seeing Disney decorated for Halloween. After much discussion, we decided to go to Disney World.
We stayed at the beautiful,
Wilderness Lodge, which neither of us have stayed, and were accompanied by John's aunt, Jane. Upon arrival, we were taken to the club level, which was complete with concierge service! In order to get to the club level, guests must use their keys to the world to access the 7th floor. It was truly a treat to have a room on the club level.
The view from our room was breathtaking, as the room itself was very spacious and comfortable. Walking around the grounds, there is a large waterfall, pool and geyser, which went off every hour! Since we were on the club level, we were offered continental breakfast, snacks, wine and cheese hour, along with desserts to end the night. Unfortunately, we were only able to enjoy the breakfast, as our days were spent at the parks.
After settling into the room, it was time to catch a boat to the Magic Kingdom, which is my favorite park to visit. Magic Kingdom was fully decorated for Halloween, as pumpkins welcomed us, as we walked through the gates. Main Street was decorated with scarecrows, jack o lanterns and Mickey pumpkins on every light post.
I always love seeing how Disney will be decorated for the holidays and see the Halloween decor did not disappointment me. Fall is my favorite season and even though the leaves do not change in Florida, it still felt like fall to me.
Throughout our stay, we visited Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Downtown Disney. We were going non stop from the moment we woke up, until we laid our heads down, but in the end it was totally worth it.
One night we attended Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, which was held at the Magic Kingdom after park hours. All of the guests dressed up for Halloween and were able to go trick or treating around the park. There was a special Halloween parade, along with a fireworks show, which coordinating with Halloween music.
Since Minnie Mouse is my favorite Disney character, I decided to dress up like her, while John was Indiana Jones and Jane was the Queen of Hearts. My favorite thing was seeing everyone dressed up and the smiles on kids' faces, as they went trick or treating.
From the cinnamon rolls at the Main Street Bakery to the mahi-mahi at the Coral Reef in Epcot, every meal was simply delicious. Disney truly goes above and beyond when it comes to feeding their guests, as I do not except anything less from the happiest place on Earth.
John and I both really enjoy going to Disney World, as we feel like we are kids each time we visit. Every time we go, we both experience or see something new, which is always a great feeling. We hope to one day have kids, so we can share our love for Disney with them. In the meantime, we will continue to be kids at heart at the most magical place on Earth, the place where dreams come true!
The Christmas tree is the iconic symbol of Christmas. Today Christmas trees are not just green, as they are in a variety of colors ranging from white to pink. No matter what type or color of Christmas tree you have, it is still the symbol of Christmas.
If you are deciding what type of tree to purchase, I would suggest an artificial tree. The pros outweigh the cons, but there are alternatives to having the scent of a real Christmas tree.
