Merry Christmas!

I would just like to wholeheartedly wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas! I hope that you enjoy Christmas wherever you are in the world, and if you are in Walt Disney World, you have a magical day exploring all the wonderful festivities which The Resort offers!
I certainly won't be missing the Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade, filmed earlier this month, which will broadcast on ABC tomorrow. Disney have produced an exciting preview to this magical annual event, which contains links to all the information you need to be able to view it. For viewers outside of the United States, I understand that the parade will be available to view online afterwards, but am not completely sure. I will try to find out and Tweet details later.
And for those of you who don't know, the annual parade broadcast features parades from both WDW's Magic Kingdom and California's Disneyland Park, hosted by big celebrity names and featuring performances from stars in the world of music! It's gonna be amazing for sure!

Thanks for reading, and have a magical Christmas!

Tips For Last Minute Christmas Shopping- Disney Style!

Apologies for the cliche introduction, but it's that time of year again! Christmas Eve is only a week away, and trade is booming at shops around the globe as everyone tries to find that special magical gift for their loved one. As a Disney Fan, I have, as always, been checking out all the great Christmas Merchandise and gifts offered by Disney, and the pickings are plentiful.
If you are stuck for last minute gifts, or are simply interested in the unique merchandise offerings provided this year, I would encourage you to check out this cool post on the Disney Parks Blog, detailing all the magical merchandise available in the parks, as well as some special offers on awesome products. All four Walt Disney World Theme Parks offer outstanding Christmas apparel, collectibles and memorabilia, as well as equally outstanding gifts.
 On my recent trip to WDW, I was lucky enough to be able to see some of the Christmas merchandise which was already available to guests, and I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised by the range of offerings, quality of items, and the reasonable prices. Not to say that I wasn't expecting big things (I was), but I thought that the merchandise available was amazing, even by Disney's incredibly high standards. I especially liked the Mickey Santa Hat and the Character Stockings. The Merchandise Team really excelled this year!
If you're pushed for time in the Parks, and want the best range on Christmas merchandise, I would recommend visiting either The Emporium in The Magic Kingdom, MouseGear in Epcot, or World of Disney in Downtown Disney, as I found them to have the best range of Christmas Merchandise. However, if, like me, you don't have the luxury of shopping in Walt Disney World, it's still possible to get your hands on the awesome Disney Merchandise I have described. You could visit your local Disney Store, or for a better selection, check out Disney Store Online, but hurry, as they may not be able to deliver before the 25th if you leave your order too late!

Thank you for reading, and have a magical day!!!
