OMG we made it you guys! I am so excited to spend this week at Walt Disney World! My wife and I decided to take her niece and nephew and my son all on vacation for their Christmas present! Nothing is more magical than Christmas Day waking up and heading to Disney! I can honestly say it never gets “old”. Christmas at Disney is just something I feel like everyone should get a chance to experience in their life.
We started out at Buccee’s gas station stocking up on our favorite snacks+ drinks for our roadtrip and filling up on gas. My wife and I took turns driving the rental car we picked up to save our cars on the mileage. I am obsessed with this Suburban we got for the week . It drove so smooth and was large enough that everyone had room to be comfortable.
Sea World+ Aquatica
I totally forgot to mention last minute we also got tickets to visit Sea World + Aquatica while in Orlando. If you don’t go any other time definitely go around Christmas! They have an ice skating ring and shows. This was my first time there at Christmas and it was a winter wonderland!
Eli and I have not been to Sea World in so long and we love visiting even though many people will argue against it .I did watch the documentary “Black Fish” and was very upset with how animals were being treated in captivity and how some trainers had lost their lives because of Orca interaction beneath the waters. However I do believe since that documentary ‘Sea World’ is trying to prevent deaths from happening. What I did notice is that there are no longer interactions with the Orcas and marine biologist being in the water together. I did see that they do still interact with dolphins in the water.
Magic Kingdom
Here are photos from Disney’s Magic Kingdom+ Hollywood Studios. We didn’t think the kids would love Animal Kingdom or Epcot due to the weather and since there aren’t many rides at Epcot. But they did have a blast at both theme parks! There is no better feeling than seeing pure “JOY” on your child’s face!
Hollywood Studios
The kids loved Hollywood Studios! They loved Tower Of Terror and Aerosmith! We done so much walking and taking photos I really tried to not be on my phone so much and be in the moment with the kids there. This was my niece and nephews first ever Disney trip and I wanted them to get to experience it. It was fun however it was too overwhelming due to the INSANE crowds during Christmas and just not the way I wanted them to experience Disney for the first time. I’m hoping we can take them again during their break whenever it’s not so crowded. It was hard for me to use Genie+ 🧞♂️ this trip and was frustrating with the money we spent. However it’s life and we did enjoy the scenery and treats!
