My aunt had a surprise waiting for us at the resort- personalized Disney towels, and a chocolate Mickey Mouse shaped box filled with Mickey candy that said things like "celebrate", "magic", and "wish"!
The Christmas decorations were still up in all the parks, which was really neat. Each park had a huge, unique Christmas tree, in addition to all the wreaths and garlands throughout the park.
We stayed at the Pop Century resort, which had a pop culture theme from the Fifties, Sixties, Seventies, Eighties, and Nineties. There were shadowboxes in the lobby with all sorts of memorabilia, and of course, I immediately spotted Barry Manilow.
The two of us at Magic Kingdom.
We saw tons of animals at the Animal Kingdom, since it was chilly and we went to the safari ride first thing in the morning. Most of the pictures turned out blurry, though.
I met Minnie Mouse at Hollywood Studios. She was excited when she saw my "Just Married" button!
It was cold when we were in Florida! It didn't really warm up until the last day we were there, but the night after we left, it snowed!
I also met Mary Poppins at EPCOT. It would have been cooler if it was Julie Andrews.
Even though it was pretty cold (in the forties most of the time we were there, which feels a lot colder when you're standing outside from 8:45 to 6 or so...) and I would up with a cold, and then Brandon is kind of sniffly now, we had lots of fun! It was Brandon's first trip to Disney World, and I think he liked all the animals. He took a few hundred pictures of the creatures at the aquarium in EPCOT, and more at the Animal Kingdom park. There was virtually no waiting for the rides before lunch, and afterwards, we did have to wait, but not as long as we would have if we'd gone in the summer. Though it was lots of fun, and I love Disney World, I think I will be happy to wait a while before going back!
