For the bored at heart.

As my title suggests, this will probably be only for those of you who are REALLY, REALLY bored. I have finally put together a bunch of pictures from when we were at Disney in December. I used a bunch of Kaelyn's favorite Disney songs to go along with the pictures so if you are curious as to what Disney is like at Christmas or you just like the music, you might like watching the slideshows even if you are sick of my pictures! When we went in December we actually stayed in one of Disney's [lower end] resorts since they were doing a special promotion for Fl residents. They have these "themed" resorts that are so cool. One of them is movie themed, one in music, one is sports, etc. They have all these larger than life "decorations" that go along with the themes. For instance, I know at the sports one they have a gigantic, larger-than-life foosball game in one of the courtyards. All of the steps at all of the resorts are enclosed in themed things. At the music resort, we saw that a couple sets of steps were enclosed to look like giant speakers and you'll see a pic. we took at the sports one where the steps look like a giant can of tennis balls. The night before we went to the park, we walked around some of the very expensive resorts owned by Disney to see their decorations. One of the resorts had a 40 ft. Christmas tree that went all the way up the five stories in the main lobby. There was a hand bell choir there that night. Another resort had a replica of a building made entirely of chocolate. They also have a wedding chapel near one of the resorts that is within view of the castle at Magic Kingdom. We got to see the bride arrive in a Cinderella style coach and we peeked through the windows of the wedding planning building and saw this Cinderella's castle wedding cake on display(there is a picture of it in the slideshow).
The next morning we went to the park. It looked so cool decorated for Christmas and since it was the week of Christmas, we got to see the Christmas version of the parade. We were worried about how Kaelyn was going to do at first because she seemed overwhelmed and in a daze over all the noise and sights. It took her a couple hours to adjust and kind of get used to what was going on. At night (during the Christmas season) the castle is completely blanketed in white LED lights besides the lights that change colors that you normally see on the castle. It was beautiful and we got our pictures taken by several of the photographers in front of the castle and on Main Street that night. It was chilly all day and by the time it was dark, we were freezing. When we got back to the car and saw that it was only about 45 degrees out we were like "No wonder!" (That was cold for us.) It was a great day for us! (I am going to include a couple more little stories about Kay-Kay down in the next post.) Forgive me if these posts bore you.
