This is our favorite time of the year. The 2016 Holiday Season will be starting in November with our Silver Anniversary Celebrations. Yes, that is right, Nelson and I will be married 25 years on November 7, 2016.
Since we now live in the Orlando area, we will be doing many live videos on Facebook. We still new at the live streaming stuff, so it might be a little off, but we love trying new things.
We stream live from our personal page at www.facebook.com/cherylandmaxx, where you can post questions, and we will try and respond to you, if we cannot then, we will reply to them once we return from where we are.
If you miss the live streaming, they will be reposted on our facebook business page at www.facebook.com/echevarriatravels.
On November 7, 2016, starts the official holiday season at Walt Disney World. We will be coming to you live from a tour of 7 Deluxe Resorts on property that will be decorated for the holiday season. The last time I was there during the holidays was back in 2011 with my daughter, Dina, we did a mother-daughter trip, she was 21 at the time.
The 7 resorts that decorate for the holidays are, each one of these resorts if you click the name will bring you to our dedicated page for Walt Disney World Resorts and Theme Parks, and you can read more about these. Deluxe Resorts are the most expensive resorts, but you can visit them when you stay at any of the 3 level options are deluxe, moderate, and value, just and FYI, they are all Luxury Resorts, nothing but gorgeous and themed just right and not over done. A price range for anyone.
Grand Floridian Resort - a 16 foot tall gingerbread house sit in the lobby and smaller versions are available to purchase. If you visit just 1 resort, this should be the one.

The Boardwalk Inn - has an edible, miniature version of Atlantic City, complete with Ferris wheel, carousel, and beach sits in the lobby alongside other seasonal decorations. I am posting our video of this here.
The other 5 Deluxe Resorts we have never visited during the holidays are:
Wilderness Lodge - a 60 feet tall tree fills the lobby (it takes 18 hours to put up!)
Beach Club - lots of decorations, including a large, edible carousel
Yacht Club - decor includes an edible train
Animal Kingdom Lodge - gorgeous resort is made even more beautiful with a big tree with themed ornaments decorating it
The Contemporary Resort - a holiday village made of gingerbread and chocolate sits near the monorail platform
So, we will be showing you more than just these resorts. This is also the opening night of Mickey's Merry Christmas Party . This is separate ticket from your theme park tickets, those guests that don't have this special event ticket, even if you are staying on property, which means you are staying at one of the Walt Disney World Resorts, you must leave the Magic Kingdom and either go back to your own resort, or head over to one of the other theme parks, or enjoy a night at one of the great experiences in Disney Springs. This year the dates of this event starts November 7 - December 22, 2016. We are doing this now, because when we are here during our vacation November 24-30th, 2016, we will not be able to do this event. The link above brings you to a video of this event. But below is the video of the Wishes Christmas Fireworks at Cinderella's Castle in 2011. Every year it is different.
Now if you are ever want to go to WDW, the best time and most magical time to go is during this time of the year. Do not go during Christmas Week, it is at the highest capacity and the most expensive time to go. If you are like my parents, who did this many times, since my father's vacation was not always the same time that school vacations was, we contacted the teacher of when we were planning on traveling and she made sure we took all tests and we got homework, which we did every afternoon breaks on vacation. Now schools have live streaming and online homework, etc. So, check with the school when you are thinking of going, they will give you ideas of when state and national tests will be given to work around.
Also did you know that you can plan up to a year in advance, it is only a $200 deposit for your vacation, plus Nelson and I can set up a payment plan, or just figure out for you how much you need to save for your trip. This is part of our services.
Also stayed tuned for us participating in the Annual Orlando Veterans Day Parade November 12, 2016; and other live videos from the Walt Disney World Resorts and Theme Parks November 24-30th, 2016
