Of course you count! There are lots of things to do. Have your kids (and you to) decorate your cabin for the holidays. That's a lot of fun. Go see Chip & Dale and take in a Disney movie. There are lots of places to explore. You guys are going to have a blast.
Be sure to go out and see the campsite decorations, they are the best.

I remember last hear there were SEVERAL cabins decorated. I would bring a bunch of extension cord and plenty of lights. Go all out, why not?? It's CHRISTMAS !!!

We put up lights around the deck railing last time. There are two outlets between the two doors so you would need an extension cord if you want to put lights up around the railing. We tried to get a cabin on our pin code for our Christmas trip this year but couldn't get one. I was planning to put up lights around the railing and a big lit wreath on the wall between the doors (we have good outdoor suction cups). If you wanted to bring gutter clips, you could hang up icicle lights along the gutter too. It's not too high - you could stand on the picnic table.

My other thought was solar path markers - you can get Disney characters, snowmen, or just some color changing regular markers. There's room for some inflatables on the deck too if you want to "keep up with the RVers".

There are two windows that face out to the road, plus 5 or 6 more around the cabin that you can put decorations in - two in the bedroom, one in the bathroom, two in the living room and one in hallway between the doors.

Hope this helps. Try to rent a golf cart at least one night so you can go looping around the campground. We're planning an evening at the Fort for dinner, Chip and Dale and looping, ending on the beach for fireworks and the Electrical Water Pageant. We're renting a cart for the evening.

Hey Curious & Curioser, I hope this answers your questions.

Right now we are booked for 19-23 Dec, hoping desperately to add a number of days onto the end since this will be my last Fort/Disney trip prior to my year+ long deployment.
