Halloween With Disney In Spirit

We have rerouted our next few vacations because we are going on the 8 night Disney cruise out of New York in late 2012.  We are also going to Disney World around Christmas this year.  Family just hasn’t been the same the last few years, and we decided that we are going to start doing what we want.

We had a ritual of going to Disney for Halloween for many years, and that was fun for all of us.  Now that we aren’t going for Halloween my daughter wants to do Halloween activities.  That’s understandable, but she just notified us that she wants to purchase a costume for her dog Shockie.  She said Mickey Mouse, or something like that.  Why would anyone want to dress up a rat in a costume?  Why my daughter wants to dress any animal is what I don’t understand.

I should have a Disney Halloween party, and send out Halloween invitations so that everyone can come and have fun.

Easter In Disney

For many years we have made a point of being in Disney World for Easter.  My daughter has enjoyed this holiday because of all the festivities that Disney has for the kids.  As DVC members we get to go to the Boardwalk Resort, and she gets together with hundreds of other kids in crafts, games, and grouped Easter candy gathering.

This year we won’t be able to partake in the fun because our school system changed our schedule so drastically, and we won’t be able to be there.  We are going on a cruise the week prior, and we have been trying to decide if we are going to order one of the Easter baskets for kids that Disney does offer.

Being that we are going to be home on Easter we are thinking that we will probably just leave the miscellanous expenses behind, and just leave it out because she is getting older, and probably won’t mind if she doesn’t get a huge basket.  We are not sure what we are doing for Easter yet, but more than likely we will just relax, and get some things done after @2 weeks of being away.

What do you do when you are away during holidays?

Disney During The Holidays

Going to Disney World during the holidays has been something that we have been doing for a few years.  We have gone during Easter, Halloween, and Thanksgiving.  We enjoy Easter the most because of the weather, and the activities that go on around the resort.  During Easter the children all get to participate in some serious candy grabbing.  During Halloween the kids get to Trick Or Treat at Disney locations, and enjoy Disney themed parties at the resorts.  We haven’t gone during Christmas because we like to be in our home for that portion of the year, but we have discussed doing Christmas, and New Years one year in the future.  I guess that I could make that would be something that you might find in red envelope christmas gifts for mom.  It would be very different for us because we are usually having a family get together, and other Christmas festivities around our house.

Have you gone to Disney during Christmas?  How are the crowds, and have you noticed any major difference over other times of the year?
