I wanted to share some screen captures from my DVD “Disneyland Parade Classics” of the 1985 Very Merry Christmas Parade. This is unlike any parade you’ll see today! The beginning of this procession features characters and floats from classic films such as Alice in Wonderland, with teapots (below, left) and the playing cards (below, right).
We stopped by Disney’s Beach Club (below, left), Yacht Club and Boardwalk Resorts to take photos of their holiday displays and decorations. The Walt Disney WorldSwan and Dolphin Resorts had a major convention going on, so we’ll go back there soon (there is a very nice display in the Swan!) The Beach Club Resort has a beautiful carousel (below, left), which is surrounded by several other displays.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and are recovering nicely. Today I present some “after-Christmas” gingerbread from around the Walt Disney World resort! Donald and Daisy Duck are residing at the Boardwalk Resort. The carousel below is from the Beach Club, Tinkerbell sits atop of it! You will find her below.
On the lower right, one of the employee-led gingerbread houses inside the Polynesian Resort. Instead of just one gingerbread display, they have many. Some are done by chefs, but others are a team effort from a variety of areas at the resort.
Below on the left is the main gingerbread display in the lobby. All others are on the 2nd floor, including the Tiki bar which is one of two that are at the sushi bar. The Polynesian has some wonderful displays, including one of an air hangar with moving propellers!
