Can you guys believe that Thanksgiving and Christmas are upon us? I sure can't. Christmas hit Walt Disney World on the 7th of November. Just like magic, over night every park was decorated. Each park, with the exception of Magic Kingdom, has a large Christmas tree and there are lights everywhere! Staying original to Disney, magic is alive and well this Holiday season. It took me a while to get into the holiday feel of things. Going strait from Halloween to Christmas is a bit overwhelming, no matter the beauty of it all. I think the reason for my "bah-humbug" attitude was because I started to realize how much I will miss being home for Christmas. Thanksgiving has become a no-brainer because I have been away at college, but Christmas has always been spent with family. I keep reminding myself though, that this is only a stage in my life and not a forever thing, at least not yet.
In a lot of ways I feel as though I am growing up to fast. I often find myself observing families at Walt Disney World and reminiscing about the joys and carefree reality of childhood. There is so much about my future that is unknown, and this bothers me. Although the unknown is what life is all about, I cannot help but feel as if I need to have all the answers. This mindset is becoming more common for me especially because leaders across property have been asking what is happening next in my life. When I do not have a specific answer, I worry that it comes off unprofessional. It is only when I take a step back from life, that I realize I am putting a slightly unrealistic weight on myself. The truth of the matter is, I know what I am talented at and I am continuing to learn where my passions are as well. Seeking out a career path seems to be a never ending cycle, but there are enjoyable aspects of this as well. Main thing being the fact that I have been able to travel and experience different aspects of life.
Alright, so enough about my life in words. I have Holiday pictures to show you all.
The first few are from the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party that my roommate, Kyra, and I went to on November 11. Being able to take part in this celebration was incredible. The park was literally empty in certain places, there was free hot cocoa, free cookies, and Christmas music playing everywhere! Definitely a magical evening.

The next few pictures are of Hollywood Studios "The Osborn Family's Spectacle of Dancing Lights". This is such an incredible display of lights! Probably the best I will ever see in my life. I stood for a good hour on the street and watched the lights dance to music. No doubt, I could have been there longer. Next to fireworks, this is my favorite night time attraction! I did take a video of the lights, sadly blogger is not allowing me to upload it. You all will just have to enjoy the pictures and use your imagination regarding the dancing lights.
The next few pictures are of Epcot's Christmas decorations as well as Disney's Animal Kingdom Tree and Hollywood studios Tree. These pictures, with the exception of one, where taken in daylight. Maybe I will eventually be able to take and then upload pictures of these locations at night.

As I hope you can tell from the pictures, the holiday season at Disney is gorgeous! They really know how to decorate and encourage holiday cheer. It has been enjoyable being able to take part in the festivities. I will admit it was very strange at first, but how could you not love Christmas, no matter the time of year?!
Talk to you all soon!
Have a Magical and/or Wild day :)
