Christmas must do's

We are going in November to Dec and are wanting to do all the Christmas things not in parks. We have Celebration, give kids the world and Gaylord Palms on the list do you have any ideas or have you been to events that may be back in 2022?

The Christmas tree trail at Disney Springs

When you say Celebration do you mean touring the houses (including the famous Jeeter Band) or the town center for the skating and "snowfall"? You should do both.

Can recommend Villa de Flora at Gaylord Palm for Christmas Day buffet dinner but a tad pricey.

The Christmas tree trail at DS was there in Dec 2019 but the trees were just spread around DS in late Nov 2021. Hopefully they will be back where they were this coming Christmas.

A trip round the WDW resorts especially the gingerbread house at Grand Floridian.

Oh, what a shame, I'd not heard of it before this year and had pencilled it in as a possible thing to do before we went home. On the other hand it's good that Make A Wish is back to capacity.

It has only been on for the last 2 years. It was a massive fundraising success but as you say it is good news they are back to full occupancy.

If you fancy a trip further afield, this is something different�

St Augustine Christmas Parade

We went a few years back and had a great day, made to feel really welcome and part of the celebrations. There were other Christmas events going off throughout the day and St Augustine is a lovely place to visit.

This looks interesting and will fit in with our dates.
