This one has been buried in the attic for a while......
The Eve of Christmas Eve, we were on a mission. Megan and Bryan were visiting and Bryan had only been to Magic Kingdom once. We had extra one-day park hopper passes that would be expiring at the end of the year, so we decided to go for it.
All four Disney World Parks in one day. We wanted him to see the highlights........
First stop........ Animal Kingdom.......
Bryan and Megan in front of the Tree of Life
Safari Ride......
Rafiki's Planet Watch.... or "the animal scrubbing place" according to Lydia....
All in all, we managed to to the Safari, the Rafiki exhibit, and Expedition Everest before heading to our next destination......... EPCOT......
A stop for lunch
Siblings.........
Lydia LOVES her Bryan....
She also LOVES Trev. She doesn't, however, like to share her stroller with him, lol.
Family Picture Time.... Bryan, Megan, Mom, Mickey, Lydia, Me, Trevor, Megan, and Jeff.
The Coca-Cola Beverage Center. It's a great spot for free soda, but beware of the nasty flavors!!
One of the nastiest flavors? The one that shares the same name as my mom, Beverly. I love my mom, but that soda is disgusting. We do, however, like to trick first-timers into drinking it.
At EPCOT, we managed to get the following accomplished...... eat lunch, Test Track, Nemo, The Land, and Soarin' before saying good-bye to the big golf ball.......
.... and head to Hollywood Studios.
Jeff took Lydia off to do a few fun things, while the rest of us did Rockin Rollercoaster.
They may be brothers by marriage only, but they certainly pester each other like the real thing....
Mom and her girls......
The fact that I don't have a picture from Tower of Terror makes me so sad. Obviously, Bryan had never been on it, but neither had the younger Megan. Our picture was HYSTERICAL and I am still kicking myself for not getting it. She has this look of pure fear on her face, while Trev and I are clearly cracking up on either side of her. Priceless.
Christmas Lights!!!!.... My favorite thing about that park during Christmas....
My brother and I....
Hollywood Studios was a successful trip....... Rockin Rollercoaster, Tower of Terror, the Christmas Lights, Toy Story, and the Great Movie Ride.
At this point, I'm on a mission to get everyone in the cars and over to Magic Kingdom. Bryan never saw the fireworks when he went and they are a must-see, imo. Everyone was exhausted by this point, so they needed a bit of encouragement ;)
Proof that we were there a mere 2 days before Christmas......
Main Street at Christmas....
Megan H and I....
We watched the fireworks and then crowd cleared. Suddenly, the park was almost empty and was open for another hour and a half.
Pure trouble........
Jess, you've starved us. Let us eat in peace.....
I honestly can't remember what all we did at Magic Kingdom. I was so tired, lol. However, we definitely got the Disney experience. The next day.... we all could barely move, lol. Four parks in one day is NOT something I would recommend on a regular basis.
As exhausting as it was, it was a day none of us will soon forget.

I miss Disney at Christmas, def. one of my favorite things.
