My two sisters and I are going to Disney World the first week in December. It is our first time in the park during the holiday season. We usually go during the food and wine festival; but this year is special as my youngest sister is beating cancer! So she has always wanted to see the park with the decorations so we are going to make the most of it! We cant wait for the Candlelight Procession! It should be magical!
Thanks, Karen
I hope you have a wonderful time with your family, Karen, and my thoughts are with your sister during her battle! ❤
