A Magical Disney Christmas Experience

We headed to Walt Disney World the other night to experience the Magic Kingdom at night — to see how Disney does Christmas. The park was packed. It was more like a madhouse to be accurate. But it was lit up in all its Christmas glory. The place looked truly magical.

At 6:30 p.m., daily, the park lights up Cinderella’s castle in a short, but memorable ceremony. Cinderella’s fairy godmother comes out of the castle and says some bib-bidy, bob-bidy-bo something or other and the castle starts to light up, one section at a time.

This lovely gem of a photo was taken by Chris Murray, husband extraordinaire.

Even though we had to fight through throngs of people it was totally worth it to take a break from the rush-rush of the season and enjoy some time celebrating the holiday.
