Hello everyone! Today marks nine weeks until my family experiences Walt Disney World again! Starting with today’s post, we’re going to feature each week a post counting down the number of weeks until our trip, and highlighting a number of things we want to experience when we are there. So, since today we are nine weeks until our arrival, we are going to feature nine things we want to experience.
Nine Weeks Until Disney: Nine Things to Experience
Main Street, U.S.A.
One of the things I’m most excited about is all of the Christmas decorations, especially those to be found on Main Street, U.S.A. For me, all I’ve got is pictures taken by a friend of mine some years back, no real first hand experience, so I’m very excited to get in the thick of it all and witness these things up close.
The Resorts Decorated
All I’ve read has told me that the resorts have their own unique way of decorating for Christmas, and that each of them is special and should be seen if possible. What’s exciting for me is that we’re going to spend some time at Wilderness Lodge, Grand Floridian, and Polynesian during our trip, and we’ll be able to see for ourselves all of these incredible scenes.
New Restaurants
During our trip, we are going to be eating at several restaurants that we’ve never eaten at before! We’re going to enjoying Whispering Canyon Cafe, The Boathouse, and Kona Cafe as part of our dining, and I can’t wait to try them all out. Can I have ketchup please?
Old Attractions setup for Christmas
“Jingle Cruise” transforms itself for Christmas, and other attractions, such as Carousel of Progress, feature Christmas decorations in different scenes as part of the show. I think those will have more meaning for me when seeing them at Christmas, and I can’t wait to experience that!
Photographing Decorations
One thing that I absolutely want to do is to take stunning photos of the decorations throughout the Walt Disney World resort. I like to take photos, and I think I will like it even more when I’m able to capture these incredible decorations all over.
Animal Kingdom Changes
This will be the first time I’ve been to Walt Disney World since the world of Avatar opened up. I can’t wait to see it for myself, and I’m looking forward to trying the attractions out as well!
Candlelight Processional
The Candlelight Processional is the story of Christmas told in the American Adventure Pavilion in the World Showcase of Epcot. Narrated by a well known celebrity, the Candlelight Processional is at the top of my list to see and experience. When we are there the narrator has not been announced yet, but I look forward to hearing it — whomever it may be!
Celebrating Birthdays!
It’s Jagan’s birthday, and we’re celebrating with her! That, plus seeing her parents, is going to be a lot of fun and something I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. I can’t wait!
Getting a well-deserved vacation!
That kind of speaks for itself, doesn’t it?
Thank you for joining me today on our look at nine things we want to experience. Next week we will continue this theme by looking at eight more things we want to see and do, and before you know it, we’ll be counted down to our trip!
