Christmas Trip 2018 to Disney World


Thursday, December 6, 2018 - I am riding back from my 2018 Christmas Trip to Disney World so this is a great time for me to blog about this five day trip. This Disney World trip included Kevin, Kevin's Mom (Carolyn), Maureen and me. Sharon and Beth and Mike were all supposed to go, but Sharon is recovering from a horrendous dog attack (two of her dogs attacked her one night last month in her front yard and she had to have surgery and is in no condition to travel), Beth was going to travel with Sharon so that didn't work out and Mike had to help with his grandson in New Orleans. We missed them and hope they can all join us for another trip to Disney World soon.

These next several pages cover our trip. We had a great time and are already planning the next trip. Just to mention a few of the high points, we saw the new hotel tower at Coronado Springs, joined Mickey at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, saw Neil Patrick Harris as he narrated the Christmas Story at Epcot's Candlelight Processional, watched a SpaceX rocket deliver cargo to the International Space Station, hunted chipmunks and much more. This was a fun trip. Read about all the details on all the next pages. Merry Christmas!

Neil Patrick Harris Leads Epcot Candlelight Processional

Epcot's Candlelight Processional  with Neil Patrick Harris and Dinner at La Hacienda de San Angel This page wraps up our day and night at Epcot with Neil Patrick Harris for the Candlelight Processional, a late lunch at Italy's Wine Cellar and dinner and fireworks at La Hacienda de San Angel. After see the SpaceX cargo rocket, all four of us went into the American Adventure and listened to the Voices of Liberty singers. I sat on the floor directly at the feet of the singers in a semi-circle under the 40-foot high rotunda. They are a very talented and impressive group. I did, however, get my exercise in trying to sit upright on the floor for their whole show. I'll probably find a column to prop up against next time. After the vocal show, the four of us ate a late lunch at the Wine Cellar in Italy. It was my second time coming to this little restaurant. If they ask you if you are going to eat, say yes even if it is just for an appetizer. There is a bar, but there ar...

Contemporary Hotel, Outer Rim and Fireworks

Sunday December 2nd 2018 -   Carolyn took her first ride on the monorail from the Grand Floridian to the Contemporary Hotel where we saw their Christmas decorations, had a drink at Outer Rim and watched the fireworks from the lobby balcony facing Magic Kingdom. I have always loved the Monorail ride that goes through the Contemporary. It reminds me of something out of Buck Rogers which I watched as a kid. I think it was probably built about the same time I was watching Buck Rogers.  We toured the lobby, gift shops and the Christmas display located at the north end of the lobby behind the Fantasia lobby store. They had a glass showcase with Cinderella's glass slipper on display. Carolyn and Maureen passed on trying it on for size.  The Outer Rim is located on the opposite end of the lobby, but we had time to kill before the Magic Kingdom fireworks show started so we stopped there for a drink. Here are a few pictures of Fantasia gift shop, Cinderella's slipper and the...

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

Tuesday December 4, 2018 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party I worked part of Tuesday from the hotel room again. I met Maureen, Kevin and Carolyn for lunch at Disney Springs Art Smith's Homecomin' restaurant. They were already seated on the porch on the water by the time I got there. We had a good lunch and then they did some shopping before we took a short afternoon break back at our hotels. Maureen met us at Coronado Springs and we all took a bus (not Maureen's preferred mode of transportation) to Magic Kingdom for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. Maureen and Mike had bought party tickets for us all. Thanks Mike! Thanks Maureen! The first thing that Kevin had us do was get photos with Winnie the Pooh and his pals - Eeyore, Piglet and Tigger. We got some cute photos and then Maureen and I rode the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. I realized on this ride that Pooh and his buddies had a very dangerous neighborhood. There were tornadoes, floods and it s...
