Behind the scenes: Osborne Lights

December 30th, 2009

Here’s a short video from Disney with a behind the scenes look at the Osborne Lights - an impressive holiday lighting display at Disney World. We always make time to visit the Osborne Lights when in Disney World in December - one of our favorite attractions! Didn’t know about the hidden “purple cat” mentioned towards the end of this video.

Eurodam decorated for Christmas

December 28th, 2009

Christmas is a wonderful time to take a cruise. While it is too late for 2009 we can give you many options for Christmas 2010 and some for Christmas 2011. Early December is also a good time to cruise - many of the ships are still decorated for the Holidays and rates are less when compared to Christmas week.

Here’s a video from Holland America showing the Eurodam decorated for Christmas:

December 12th, 2009

Here’s a Disney video with some holiday lighting tips - from an expert involved in the Osborne Lights display at the Disney Studios. The Osborne light display is one of our favorite areas to visit in Disney World during the holiday season.

Steam Trains at Disney Parks

December 7th, 2009

Watch the video below from Disney on the history of steam trains at the Disney parks. Interesting that Walt had a steam train setup around his house in the late 40’s, and that was a hint of things to come at Disneyland. We always try to ride the train at least once in our visits to the Magic Kingdom - how about you?
