#Christmas – Rooting to Rise

My dream is to stay in Walt Disney World during the Christmas Season; I have only seen the Magical Holiday Splendor in pictures. If I close my eyes…… I can see myself standing on Main Street USA at nightfall as the “snow” swirls around me, gorgeous greenery suspended above the streets and endless wreaths hung upon the lamp posts from the Train Station to Cinderella Castle. One day this will be my reality, but for now I search for a little Disney in each Christmas Season.

Here are a handful of places I found Disney right in my own “backyard”, here in New York state ~

Main Street USA is about 1,095 miles from Maybrook, NY

Though A Frosty Fest is just 44 miles away ~

Instead of the Candlelight Processional

I have the Maybrook/Montgomery Girl Scout Troop

Here they are singing…..Do You Want To Build A Snowman?

I may not have the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights

BUT….. I have the Lights on Frozen Ridge Road

Unfortunately we are not able to meet with Olaf….

However we had his family member visit us in our front yard!

I can not saunter through Epcot, World Showcase at a moments notice…..

Although, I can stroll through our local Arboretum which is full of nuances to World Showcase along with majestic gardens.

Thank you for joining me with Finding a Little Disney in my Christmas! May we all find a little Disney in our every day lives.

The anticipation of Christmas gets stronger as each December day passes by. The spirit of the season inspires children to be on their best behavior and adults recapture their belief in Christmas magic. As the dawn of Christmas morning breaks and awakens the sleepy eyes of adolescents around the world, squeals of excitement will be heard as they dash out to see what Santa has left them under the tree.

As this holiday approaches and my belief in Christmas magic becomes aplenty, I begin to ponder on what I would like to find under the tree when I dash out with squeals of excitement too.

Dear Santa, Here is my Top Ten Disney Christmas wishes ~

10 ~ A pair of Mickey Mouse Pajamas. What respectable Disney Loving Gal would wear anything else for long winter’s nap? Kohls

9 ~ A Mickey Mouse Waffle Maker. This is a gift that will keep on giving, not only for me but my family as well! Kohls

8 ~ A Disney Christmas Tree Ornament is always a must, the more Mickey the merrier! disneystore.com

7 ~ This cute and cozy sweater will help to make my holiday more merry and also help to show off my #Disneyside ! disneystore.com

6 ~ I have become a huge fan of Alex and Ani bracelets. A true classic princess by heart, this Cinderella bangle is a perfect fit for my wrist. disneystore.com

5 ~ I have coveted a Disney Dooney and Bourke pocketbook for years, but the price tag has prevented me from clicking “add to bag” while browsing on disneystore.com Maybe, just maybe, dear Santa will have a deep discount coupon to make this appear under my tree!

4 ~ A Mickey Mouse watch, doesn’t everyone want one? disneystore.com

3 ~ Price Phillip. Yes you read right, why wouldn’t I want a Disney Prince under my tree? It was a toss-up between Phillip and Eric, but again I am a classic princess type of gal, so a classic prince won out. If Santa has trouble dragging him away from Aurora I will take the doll- if I have to. disneystore.com

2 ~ A Magic Band loaded with a 1 week length of stay and pre-booked with Fast Passes is PERFECT! Mouse Ear Magic

1 ~ My very most wanted gift on my list is for the dreams and wishes of my heart to come true. They are dreams and wishes not only for me, but for my family and friends as well. Tis the season of giving and part of this giving is the gift of my love and prayers for those that surround me.

Merry Christmas to all, not only now but all the year through!
