Gingerbread Houses Part 2

Saturday we went looking at houses, and Sunday we drove her to Cocoa Beach and Disney's Vero Beach Resort.

Monday morning Susan and I took my mom to Epcot, then took the monorail to the Transportation and Ticket Center. Work continued in the center of Future World.

From there we took the Resort monorail to the Grand Floridian, and enjoyed seeing the gingerbread house.

Because of the 50th celebration, they didn't put up the usual Christmas decorations at the Magic Kingdom. Afterward we took the boat out to the campgrounds to look around. Yesterday morning before work I drove my mom to the airport.

Gingerbread Houses

My mom came out to Florida last week and I took her around the parks for a few days. Thursday we went to Animal Kingdom, where she enjoyed watching some of the shows, walking the animal trails, and riding the train out to Conservation Station. We also watched the new Kite Tails show.

Friday I took her to see the shows at Hollywood Studios, then we met the rest of the family at the Ale & Compass restaurant at the Yacht Club for my birthday dinner.

We also spent some time checking out the Christmas decorations at the resorts, especially the gingerbread houses. At the Beach Club they had a gingerbread carousel on display.

Holidays in the parks

After Halloween, the decorations in the parks switched to the Holidays, and in Epcot, the Food and Wine Festival gave way to the Festival of Holidays after Thanksgiving. As they did with the Halloween parties, Disney held some Christmas themed After Hours parties in Magic Kingdom rather than Mickey's Very Merry Christmas parties.

 

The restrictions for covid continued to be eased, and more things returned. Recently Disney announced the return of the Cast 5K, and this morning Susan, Jennifer, and I took part. It was held in Animal Kingdom.

On Friday, WDW celebrated the 120th anniversary of Walt Disney's birth.
