Lake Magic & Christmas at Disney

We spent two weeks at Lake Magic - another Thousand Trails resort - in our last stay in Orlando until we come back in March.  That's right folks, we're finally leaving Florida!  But more on that in our upcoming posts from the road!

Lake Magic was decent enough, but after our last impressive Thousand Trails stay at Tropical Palms, we weren't so impressed.  This park has no security at the front gate, definitely feels like a parking lot, and has a LOT of one way streets that add a good 5-10 minutes to your trip anywhere just to get out of the park.  The laundromat is one of those that you have to buy a $5 laundry card before you can pay to do laundry, which is particularly frustrating for those of us who only plan to be there 2 weeks!  It's also a bit farther from Disney.  Our site had a lot of fire ants as well, though they do treat for those in general.  Still, the stay was just fine, the folks around us were friendly and we had no real problems during our stay.

Some very noisy sandhill crane neighbors

This being our last time near Disney for a while, we spent most of our free time visiting the Christmas-themed parks, so please forgive an onslaught of Disney photos here!

I thought this was one of the most impressive light displays
in all of Disney World - the dinosaur at Animal Kingdom

They started some semblance of evening performances in a 
couple parks - this is the nighttime light show on the Tree
of Life in Animal Kingdom

Our favorite tree on the Christmas 
Tree Stroll in Disney Springs - the 
Star Wars tree!

Merry Christmas everyone!
