Celebration, The Palms & Disney!

Once again we enjoyed yet another GREAT hotwire deal. $33 for a room at Celebration. We enjoyed the snow on main street while cousins enjoyed ICE @ Gaylord Palms. After the snow and a drive through all of the BEAUTIFUL homes lit up and decorated ever so perfectly:) we met up with the gang (Nana & Popi, Matt, Jenn, Avery & Halle). Michale, Hunter and I enjoyed strolling through Gaylord Palms while the rest of them were freezing:) and having a great time. Hunter enjoyed the laser lights and sounds show and Mommy enjoyed a Godiva liquor hot chocolate! WOW Merry Christmas to myself! Most expensive yet best I've ever had! :) Daddy enjoyed...making his family happy!:) What a good sport all weekend.

Next morning while the cousins enjoyed Disney for Avery's 6TH b day! Halloran's Three along with Nana and Popi enjoyed Disney resort hopping on the monorail (zero dollars). We visited the magic kingdom resorts to see them all gussied up for Christmas (The Contemporary, The Polynesian, The Grand Floridian and Fort Wilderness Lodge). BEAUTIFUL! My fav's were the Wilderness Lodge (even though Hunter was completely passed out by then..I was hoping to get some really cute pics of him at the Lodge)and the Grand Floridan which had a 16 foot tall REAL gingerbread house complete with a chimney that blew out gingery "smoke/steam" every few minutes and made the whole place smell yummy! Hunter had fun running around in the huge lobby and his eye caught a few beautiful little princess that he just could not stop staring at! They had just been to a private tea party with Princess Aurora for a birthday party...So cute! The Contemporary was not much to see really, though that is where we parked and boarded the monorail because it was the least crowded. The Polynesian has lots of little gingerbread houses made by all of their chefs and they were all very tropical/cabana looking. We did enjoy watching a hula class in the lobby. :)Hunter LOVED riding on the monorail from stop to stop! He HATED however having to get on elevators at the resorts to get to the different levels! He totally freaked out every time the doors closed! :( Here are some pics from the day. What a treat for the eyes and a must see sometime during the holidays!
