This past friday night we went up to the parks to see if they had more Christmas decorations up (before the advertised time), to our surprise, it was ALL up and running!!
Since DCA is all new this year, so are all the Christmas decorations and entertainment!
These are the Buena Vista Street (DCA's version of Main Street USA) Bell Ringers. They play and sing Christmas carols! So very cool!
Every night (I think it's around 5pm) they have the Buena Vista Street tree lighting ceremony!
This tree is so beautiful! I love all the old fashioned decorations, on the tree and everywhere on BVS. They even have a department store Santa with a little elf helper who hands out candy canes.
Cars Land is all decked out!! There is so much Christmas detail, it is pretty amazing!
We LOVE having a Starbucks in DCA, we were able to get our favorite peppermint hot chocolates while we walked around and enjoyed all the lights!! : )
Then we headed into DL to see what had been added since we were last there.
So fun to see the tree and all the lights set up!
Small World was even open before it was supposed to be. : )
The real surprise and huge cherry on top was that they did the Christmas fireworks and SNOW that night!! Below is a clip from the fireworks (sorry about the focus, our little point and shot had a hard time focusing on the always moving fireworks) : )
There is nothing like the snow at the parks! And it was extra special since it was the first of the season, and a total surprise!! : )
I just love how this came out : )
Such a fun way to keep off the Christmas season!! : )
PS: Plus, it was FREEZING that night, and everyone was all bundled up in coats and gloves. Really added to the Christmas spirit! We were loving it!!
