Disney definitely knows how to do Christmas! No matter how many times I see a photo like yours, I'm still amazed at the architecture and beauty of it all.

Hi Christine, That is totally beautiful. To my knowledge I have bever seen this done before at DL. It would be worth a re-visit to DL  because this photo is stunning and I would love to see it.

There's a castle in Segovia, Spain that is the original version of the one you have in your photo here--although they do not deck it out for the holidays.

Posted by Melissa Zavala RealtorĀ® North San Diego County Homes (Broadpoint Properties) over 1 year ago

Chris - I guess I'll have to put up more photos.

Renee - You don't live far enough away to have never been.  Maybe we can catch up there.

Melissa - I have some vague recollection of that when I was in Spain many years ago.  I love what Disney does with the lights.

Christine,

It is always stunning how Disney does it right.  Of course I am on the "other" coast so I go to our Disney.  I have some friends here that love to go and they do not even have kids yet.  They love the grownup side of Disney.  They are even going down over Christmas to celebrate Christmas with their extended family.

Larry - I'm with your friends.  I'm a total Disneyphile.  We had passes even before we had kids.

Posted by Christine Donovan Costa Mesa CA Homes Broker/Attorney 800-610-7253 DRE01267479 (Donovan Blatt Team - Donovan Group Realty) over 1 year ago

Wow that is an amazing looking display Christine! Hard to believe it is almost Christmas.

What a beautiful shot. Wish I had taken my kids at Christmas time, I never thought about the park being all decorated. I'll bet it's gorgeous.

Christine, We are just now thinking about getting those icicles on our house.  It is always hard to get the peak.  This makes me put our peak in perspective (lol).
