Hi everyone!

I personally love the holidays at Walt Disney World and am always a little sad to see it end,  but at least it seems to get bigger and better every year. Here’s looking forward to the holidays at Walt Disney World in 2009!

A last look at Christmas in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

Hi everyone!

Even though Christmas at Walt Disney World officially ended yesterday (January 4th) there was still a last glimpse this afternoon at the Magic Kingdom!

after-christmas-001 after-christmas-002

Site partner MouseSteps presents these shots of a still very festive Magic Kingdom! Holiday music plays, garland still hangs and the Christmas tree remains!

after-christmas-003 after-christmas-004

The resorts seemed to have all the decorations removed already.  My guess is that this will all be removed by tomorrow as something has to come down last. I hope you enjoyed the extra day of Christmas! Click HERE for photos of the upcoming Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas, the Contemporary Resort Villas and the Magic Kingdom!
