We may have just flipped our calendars to November, but the Holiday Season is in full swing here at Walt Disney World. And I'm okay with that. I used to be one of those staunch 'only decorate for Christmas after Thanksgiving' type of people, and still won't put Christmas stuff up in my house until then. But as far as Disney goes, I say bring on the Christmas. Here's my reasoning: this time of year really flies by so fast. Every year, *BAM* it's December 26th and we're left wanting more! So, why not start now and get two solid months of holiday merriment? Bah, humbug? I think not.
I have to thank Estelle from This Happy Place Blog for the inspiration for this particular post after she, ironically, wrote about being in a blog funk and looking for inspiration herself. She also did a post about packing for the fluctuating Florida fall forecast (say that five times fast!) that kindled this post idea, too.
Before we dive into the meat of this post, let's touch on the anomaly that is Florida fall (and winter, and spring) weather. If you make a trip to the World in October through March, chances are you will run the gamut from hot to cold, often in the course of one day. It can start in the low 50's in the morning (because you ARE rope-dropping, right? Have I not taught you anything?!), warm up into the 70's during the afternoon, and be back in the 50's when the sun sets. Then, the next day, the high is 83. Trust me, this all happened this past week. It can be a challenge to know how to pack or dress for such.
Aside from this post I did a while back, another article of clothing I've found that bridges this gap quite nicely are these relaxed linen pants from Roxy. I own them in blue, black, and turquoise. They have a drawstring waist, pockets, and are comfy yet stylish. They also offer enough leg coverage for the cool mornings, but are breezy enough when the temperature starts to rise. Pair these with a tank or tee and a cardigan, or a long sleeved tee and a lightweight scarf, and you're good to go. Here are some ideas:
I wore exactly this on my most recent visit to the Magic Kingdom to check out the holiday decorations, and it worked like a charm.

J.Crew Cotton Cardigan // James Perse Short Sleeve V Neck Tee (I know this is pricy for a t-shirt, but I've had this particular shirt for over 5 years, and it has retained it's shape and color// Roxy Oceanside Wide-Leg Pant (currently on sale from $39 to $24.99 through 11/8)
Rainbow Sandals // Vera Bradley for Disney Cross Body Bag // OPI Honey Rider (on toes)
These pants are the best-you can order online or find them in most surf shops. I've actually gotten all of mine at various Disney shops! Three of them came from the Island Supply Company in Adventureland in the Magic Kingdom, and another came from the Polynesian gift shop BouTiki
Note: Island Supply Company is currently closed and undergoing a refurb, see photo below. Which is a bummer because this was one of my favorite shops in the Magic Kingdom! They always had a nice selection of comfy, surf-inspired clothing.
**Update: Disney has announced that this will soon reopen as a Sunglass Hut. I am not pleased.

The holiday merchandise display inside the Emporium.
The Holiday version of the Trolley Show is now rolling down Main Street.
The Jingle Cruise has launched.
Funny story about this particular Christmas tree. It's located up on the second story of the Main Street Train Station. I was taking close-up photos of the ornaments, and noticed a rolled up piece of paper tied to the branches. Turns out it was a place marker to designate where this particular tree was to be set. Being the Disney dork that I am, I alerted a Cast Member, who promptly removed it. :)
I've only recently really noticed these adorable silhouette cut outs on East Center Street. I Instagrammed a picture of some cute Halloween versions, and was happy to see some holiday themed ones as well. The boy and girl under the mistletoe might just have to come home with me.
Until next time, MERRY CHRISTMAS! (wink, wink)
All those injuries? Yes, Byron Buxton keeps getting hurt and Nelson Cruz has ended up on the injured list a couple of times. But the Twins haven't suffered the impact of injuries as much as most other teams, including Cleveland. The Twins have placed 16 players in the injured list this season for a total of 394 days; Cleveland has put players on the IL 17 times for 956 days.

ReplyDeleteWas pretty crazy, Matthews said. Showed a lot of resilience, never quit. I think everyone in this locker room, we had our mindset that no matter what, we were going to come out and win this game. He wants to discuss his problem with Mark. I would prefer he probably do it in the summertime; that would probably be best served for both of them. Let the emotion go away and then go have dinner.".

Yet, in all my years of watching this team, I having a hard time remembering a game that rivaled the events from Sunday night. Specifically for who they signed and who they allowed to leave. The Dallas Cowboys appeared very confident going into this offseason.
Although the house had been open to the public ever since it was built, it was not until 1947 that the revenue from visitors went towards its upkeep. In 1973 the Duchess set up the Farmyard at Chatsworth, "to explain to the children that food is produced by farmers who also look after the land and that the two functions are inextricably mixed". A little boy from Sheffield watched the milking, then told the Duchess: "It's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in my life (tags: Jordan Shoes For Sale Cheap, 2020 Jordan Release Dates, Ray Ban Sunglasses Outlet).
