Thanks ahead of time for your help!

Be sure to visit Santa's Reindeer Roundup in Big Thunder Ranch. The kids can decorate cookies and enjoy a Western Style Christmas. Don't miss the Holiday Fireworks show. You'll enjoy the snow on Main St. New Orleans Square has an awesome Christmas theme complete with live music. Over in DCA, be sure to catch the beach themed Santa. Overall, just enjoy all the Christmas magic that is around the parks.

Besides what you already know and what has been mentioned already The Christmas Fantasy Parade is my top choice of what to see. Both parks have beautiful tall decorated Christmas trees also. Just relish in the holiday atmosphere and enjoy. Don't miss the fireworks show with the snow after.

We also like to do a photo scavenger hunt of all the Christmas trees and wreaths throughout the resort - they're gorgeous and themed beautifully. Enjoy a peppermint mocha and snickerdoodle during the fireworks and snow. Check out the holiday fashions that the characters wear! Be sure to pick up a Christmas ornament or holiday mug. And...just relax, go with the flow and soak up the magic and memories. Have fun!
