Earlier this year, we had an opportunity to visit Efteling theme park in Europe, which was one of the most unique and charming theme parks we think we’ve ever been to. Spoiler alert: we LOVED IT.

Let’s be honest… waiting in lines at Disney World is something you’d expect to do on your vacation. From rides and shows to dining at quick-service locations and shopping, there is a lot to do and a lot to wait for. But you’d never really expect to wait in lines at Disney Springs.

It’s almost Christmas time in Disney World!
Don’t get us wrong, we love the Halloween decor all over the parks, but what amazes us each and every year is how FAST Disney switches over from Halloween to the holidays! The majority of Halloween decor is in Magic Kingdom each year, with bits and pieces in the other three parks. For the holidays, though, each park gets its own transformation, and it’s so close we can taste it. If you’ve never seen it happen before, allow us to show you just a bit of what it’s like to get you as excited as we are!
