I just got back from a few days in Orlando and thought I would share some of my photos. I absolutely love any and all holiday decorations, and between Disney and Universal, I got to see a ton of them.
Day 1 Pop Century, Downtown Disney, Wilderness Lodge, MGM, Epcot
First stop was checking in at Pop Century. Then a quick trip to Downtown Disney, which was really crowded but ended up being worthwhile because I got one of the Year of a Million Dreams prizes there. Stopped over at the Wilderness Lodge to see their decorations. Then MGM for some rides, a parade, the Harlem Gospel Choir, and, of course, the Osborne Family Lights. And finished off the evening with Illuminations at Epcot.
Ok, now some pictures!

I'm very jealous.
Yup! And I'll be back again next month for the WDW marathon weekend.
Day 2, part 1 Animal Kingdom, Contemporary, Polynesian, and Grand Floridian
Thanks for the comments so far.
The next day I spent the morning at the Animal Kingdom. Just did a few rides and saw Finding Nemo. I went to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party that night, but I'll add that later. Before that, I checked out the holiday decorations at the monorail resorts.
We'll start out with some rhino butts on the safari. Happy holidays!
