We’re Going to Disney World…for New Years!

As I am writing this post, we are within just a few days of our trip to Walt Disney World for New Years, and I honestly think that the next best thing to being at Disney is getting ready to go to Disney. 🙂

Of course it’s all kind of crazy, trying to wrap up all the details that didn’t get taken care of because, well, we had this little Holiday over the past weekend…..but it’s all still good, because it’s a fun crazy!

Now, I have written in the past about how very busy it is at Disney World during the week between Christmas and New Years, as we have gone during this week in the past. But still, despite the crowds and lines, we’re excited and looking forward to ringing in 2011 in the best place I can think of to start a New Year: the place where dreams and hopes live for so many.

Fortunately, we have been blessed to have visited many times, so if we don’t get to see all the attractions or ride all the rides, its ok. Going to Disney World over the holidays is as much about soaking up the atmosphere as it is about “doing things”. So we’ll go with the flow more during this week than we might at other times of the year, since the irony of being there with crowds is the chance to actually vacation more relaxed. Sounds crazy, doesn’t it?

We do have some “must-sees” though, so these will be our priorities, and we’ll work everything else around them:

• Visit Magic Kingdom on the 30^th to see the daily Christmas parade that afternoon
• Do the Candlelight Processional that evening (the last performance of the year)
• Spend New Year’s Eve at Epcot with thousands of our new best friends 🙂
• Start the New Year with a breakfast at Cape May Café
• See Holiday Wishes at Magic Kingdom
• See the Osborne Lights

We will also be experiencing a few “new” things that I just booked this morning.  It’s a bit of a surprise though, so you’ll have to wait to see what those are, and how we liked them. 🙂

Which brings me to this: want to follow along virtually with us as we celebrate the New Year at Walt Disney World? I will be posting updates to my Facebook page, and providing Chip with some pictures along the way to share with you. So stay tuned!

Wishing you and yours the happiest and most magical New Year ever!!
