I had fun in December. I went to two very different places, both similar in magic. I went to Disney World – a great adventure! And I went to Amsterdam.
In Amsterdam, I enjoyed long walks along the beautiful canals. It is important to mind the bicyclists – they are everywhere. There are even parking garages for bikes. Amsterdam has so much to offer: art, history, theater, music, unique architecture and coffeeshops! We were there when the city was in the Christmas spirit. There was a gay memorial as well. I liked it.

AND NOW MAGIC KINGDOM NUMBER TWO
I spent Christmas at Disney World. It was really great to see my family. We had a lot of fun, riding rides (favorites: Soaring, Tower of Terror, the Mt Everest rollercoaster, Space Mountain, the African Jungle Safari, Buzz Lightyear and Dumbo), seeing shows (Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Finding Nemo which I loved!), dining at Cinderella’s castle, watching fireworks, riding the monorail, swimming (luckily the pool was heated because it was cold in Disney World), eating some more, and watching the parade at Animal Kingdom. Here are some of the animals in the parade.
And that’s Disney magic. Thank you, Mom and Dad!
You’re back! I am so glad. And thanks for sharing your two magical holidays!
I think it’s very difficult for Americans to grasp the concept of just how antiquated European architecture is — nothing like that here, obviously. So many beautiful photos — thanks so much for sharing! Did you stay at the Polynesian Resort at Disney? I thought I recognized a few shots of the place. That’s where we stayed the one time we went as a family…coming up on 14 years ago now.
I am so excited that someone else has read my blogette. I am pretty sure you, my mom and Missi Kerivan are the only people who have looked at it. It all seems like a dream now. I have been so lucky.
Yes – we stayed at the Polynesian. The trip to Disney World was not the best trip I took last year!
