Holidays Around The (Walt Disney) World - Part 1 

Picture
What's the best part of living in Central Florida or Southern California in the Theme Park "offseason"? That's right, our theme parks don't close. While some go to weekend only operation those of us in CA and FL can literally visit a theme park every day of the year. 
And when you're incredibly local that means you can visit a few times over the span of a couple of weeks and experience a plethora of different experiences. And that's just what Renée has been doing over the past few weeks, so we have great stuff from so many of the great Holiday happenings at Walt Disney World that we couldn't dream of fitting it into one update.
​And we still have a few weeks until the Holidays are over so who knows where our adventure is going to take us next. 

​Written by Renée Girard
Cast previews for Disney's Rivers of Light begins tonight. No photos or video allowed but we'll be there! Hoping for a great show!
Picture
Getting ready for Rivers of Light to start in 30 minutes! ​
Picture
Got our seats and beer, let's do this. ​
Picture
Picture
​No photos tonight. Excited to see this much anticipated show! 10 minutes till it starts.
Picture
​We loved Rivers of Light! Beautiful show, amazing technology, and a million times better than Jungle Book.

​This week we're spending some time at the Epcot area resorts. The Boardwalk is great all year round but it's perfect for the holidays!
Picture
Picture
​Right next door at the Boardwalk, the Flying Fish restaurant has recently been renovated. It looks beautiful!
Picture
​Everything was delicious! I enjoyed the frittata with a caffe latte. Everyone else had egg dishes as well, and pancakes, all equally yummy.
Picture
Picture
Picture
​One of Disney's newest themed bars, Abracadabar, on the Boardwalk. It's a small space packed with lots of unique detail. Open 4pm-midnight.

​It wouldn't be Disney without a hidden Mickey! The one in Abracadabar isn't so hidden but still very cool.
Picture
​Looking around at some of the holiday decorations at the Epcot resorts too. Over at the Beach Club, there is the gingerbread carousel.

Christmas tree in the lobby of Disney's Yacht Club resort.

​Having some drinks at the Crew's Cup Lounge at Disney's Yacht Club resort. What a cool, cozy little bar this place is!
Picture

​Dinner tonight is at the Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney's Yacht Club Resort
Picture

Had an amazing meal at Yachtsman Steakhouse! Definitely highly recommended by everyone in our party! ​
Picture

Picture
And of course, any dinner near EPCOT would be incomplete without the "Peace on Earth" finale of IllumiNations 
Picture
Picture
Goodnight from Disney's Yacht Club resort!
Picture

​We are starting our day with breakfast at the Captain's Grille at Disney's Yacht Club resort.
Picture
Picture
​You can order regular breakfast menu items at Captain's Grille but we're going with the buffet.
Picture
​New this year, Captain's Grille is offering the Candlelight Processional dining package. It's a great deal and guaranteed seat for the show!
Picture
Tonight we will be celebrating the Holidays Around the World at Epcot! ​
Picture
One of the best ways to get in the holiday spirit is to see the Voices of Liberty sing. ​
Picture
Picture
​There are a lot more Food & Wine-ish offerings for the holidays at Epcot. Looking forward to trying some later!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
But first we will be attending the Candlelight Processional narrated by ​
Picture
Picture
​Some of us are attending the show, with one performing in it. Nerves are starting to set in, even tho this is my third year doing it! Eek!!
Picture
Showtime in 30 minutes! Always a joy to share the stage with the legend....ary Neil Patrick Harris! ​
Picture
And we'll leave you waiting for part two to see what happens at the Candlelight processional. Did Renée ​fall off the stage? Run off with Neil Patrick Harris to raise babies in the Haunted Mansion? 

You may never know ... or you know, just find out on Thursday in part II of our epic adventure. =)
