| We went during December for the first time last year. Two of my favorites were the life size gingerbread house and the tree at the GF and also the chocolate carrousel at the BC. We are going in December this year and I hope to be able to resort hop and see all the other decorations.

| I love going during holiday season and try to plan my ADRs so I can do lots of resort hopping....it is very neat to see all the different holiday theming the various resorts do. My fav must see though, is the Osbourne Spectacle of Lights....I have never seen anything like it and absolutely adore it. DS's hockey schedule allowing, we will head down for a quick visit during the holiday season to take it all in! danielle

| The resorts we love at Christmas are the Beach Club with its chocolate carousel, the entire seaside resort made out of chocolate at the BoardWalk and the gingerbread house and Christmas tree at the Grand Floridian. It's worth having a look through the PassPorter photo archive, as I'm sure there are some photos in there of each of those.

| We LOVE going at Christmas time. The GF decor is not to be missed, as is all other resorts really (we resort hopped on our Christmas trip in 2006 and it was great., so much so that we are gonna do it again this year). The decor at the parks is also somehting to see, not to mention the special shows and MVMCP, the CP and Osborne Lights...there is nothing to compare to it!!!!!!!!! You just have to go and check it ALL out, if you have a full week, you should be able to get most of it in.

| You've gotten some great ideas here already, but I also wanted to mention that all of the parks have a big, beautiful tree, and sign posts, etc are decorated too. Disney doesn't do anything small.

|  We went this past Christmas. It was amazing! The Gingerbread House @ GF - wow! The trees @ all the parks were HUGE.... The MVMCP was SO much fun! My 11 yr old son LOVED the "snow" - LOL! The WL decorations are breathtaking. We had dinner @ Whispering Canyon one night while we were there.... They had people playing Belles in the lobby - it was beautiful. The fireworks @ the parks were even more amazing than normal too! We are going back for Christmas in 09! WOOHOO!

| Don't forget about Epcot. Each land has it's own Santa who does story telling, and the countries are just so beautifully decorated. But my absolute favorite has to be the Osbourne Spectacle of Lights...AMAZING! I can't wait to see it myself again this year

| I think the only resort decorations we saw were GF and AKL. Both were nice, but I'd have to say GF was the "creme de la creme". The tree was beautiful!! We actually had our pic taken in front of it and had prints made for our parents for Christmas. And the gingerbread house was so nice. It was tough to get a good photo though because there were so many people wanting an up-close look. AKL was very nice also, but more rustic. We'd never been there before, so we're not sure exactly what it looks like undecorated, but it was a beautiful place. We were staying at CBR and I honestly don't remember too many decorations. But I think I remember some decorations at the Custom House but since you only need to go there for check-in and check-out, they no longer stand out in my mind. And I think the Caribbean colors threw me off too, so it wasn't as festive as I'm accustomed to.
