JUST HEAR THOSE SLEIGH BELLS JINGLING
RING-TING-TINGLING TOO
Well, hello there! If you love seasonal festivities, gorilla soap operas, snoap, people who have Macarena dance parties on buses, lions with bad haircuts, ipads blocking your view, terrifying experiences in treehouses, and/or plenty of FREAKING OUT over New Fantasyland, then have I got a story for you!
All of those things (and more!) combined to make this one heck of a trip.
You might be saying to yourself, Wow. Its the end of May. Thats a little late to be starting a Christmas-themed trip report, isnt it? Maybe. But the Christmas lights are still up in my bedroom (Im lazy) so I think Im good.
I'm Kara.
Thats me. With Governor Ratcliffe and Meeko. Im the not xenophobic, not raccoon one.
Im pretty much the worst when it comes to describing myself, so heres a list of some of my favorite WDW-related things: Mickey Rice Krispy Treats, Stacey, Bus Voice Guy, Illuminations, the Pre-Illuminations Techno Dance Party, the diseased dinosaurs in the Dinosaur queue, saying Jambo, the Innoventions area loop, Toy Story Mania, the lanterns that hang in and around the Mad Tea Party, fiber optic sidewalks, hammock time at the Polynesian, the pie scent in Mickeys Philharmagic, when automatic doors slide open and youre hit in the face with air conditioning, Jungle Cruise jokes, and the Maelstrom. Obviously.
During the trip, I added a few more favorites to the list, but sharing them now would ruin the surprise. We wouldn't want that, would we?
My wonderful parents joined me on this adventure. Joined, of course, means that they paid for it.
Seriously though, I love traveling with my parents for reasons that aren't financial. Disney vacations have been my familys thing for as long as I can remember and, as I'm 22, that's a long time. The place is filled with as many great family memories as it is sweaty tourists and Im always up for heading down to Disney with them. I guess thats not really saying much though considering Im always up for heading to Disney with anyone. If some random person on the street asked if I wanted to go with them, Id have a hard time saying no. This is probably a problem.
Some trip details: We were in the World from November 25th to December 1st. We stayed at Pop Century. Aside from Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party, we had no real plans. No schedule. No ADRs. Nothing set in stone. Just park hoppers and a hotel room.
Finally, in case youre wondering, the title of this TR comes from the fact that Sleigh Ride is the only song we heard all trip.
OK that might be a bit hyperbolic, but it sure seemed like it. "Sleigh Ride" must be on every single one of WDWs holiday area music loops. It was playing all the time.
Dont get me wrong, I love all versions of that song. It just loses some of its charm when youre listening to it for the 3843423th time in a week. Hence the angry IF I HEAR SLEIGH RIDE ONE MORE TIME I shouted to the skies. Only Im terrible at making threats, so it ended there. Ha. Someday I'll figure out what I would have done if I'd heard "Sleigh Ride" one more time.
Well, I think thats it for the introduction.
Thanks for joining in! After all .
COME ON IT'S LOVELY WEATHER FOR A *TRIP REPORT* TOGETHER WITH YOUUUUUU!

I'm not sure I've ever delurked to comment on one of your trip reports before, but I've read all of them. You are hilarious and seriously a fantastic writer. I'm already looking forward to your take on the holidays at Disney.
) I loved your last TR.
