Life In Pleasantville

Food, Travel, Life

Of all the things I love about Christmas, my tree is probably right at the top. Not putting it up was killing me this year. Ornaments from 25 years ago were left safely tucked away in their boxes and my heart was breaking just a little that I didn’t get to pick out my perfect Fraser Fir. I am happy to report that I never felt I was without a tree from the moment I arrived at Disney World in Florida.

During the month of December you can hardly turn around without finding a gorgeous tree decorated in a theme befitting the place it’s been erected. In fact there are over 1500 trees put up each year! I can’t even begin to fathom the storage needed for just Christmas decorations. Here are but a few of the trees we saw during our time there:

Christmas Tree at Character Landing with Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger & Piglet, Animal Kingdom
Gingerbread Tree at the Contemporary Resort
Just one of several trees at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.
The 45 foot tall tree in the lobby of Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa
The tree entering Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Caught this one in the costume shop doing a backlot tour at Hollywood Studios.
All lights, no tree at The Osborne Spectacle of Lights at Hollywood Studios.
Tree at the start of the World Showcase at Disney's Epcot.
The tree at Santa's Village, Epcot.
A wee tree in Germany, Epcot.
Trees decorated for the season entering the Magic Kingdom
Main Street U.S.A., Magic Kingdom
Cinderella's Christmas Tree
Mickey and Minnie's tree in the Christmas Day Parade.
Main Street U.S.A., Magic Kingdom at night.
My favorite tree of all, at my favorite place of all, Fort Wilderness.

    Fort Wilderness is my favorite too! I love Disney at Christmas. We aren’t going this year and it just doesn’t feel the same.
