The Realist’s Take
Gather round folks, because the jingle bells at Disney World are a-ringing! Prep your jammies because Disney’s got an extra dose of magic brewin’ for its annual holiday hoedown. From tinsel-laced variety shows (featuring your favorite animated has-beens) and glam shindigs at the newfangled Disney Jollywood Nights, to Gingerbread mansions that would make Hansel and Gretel reconsider their dietary choices, the stakes have reached North Pole levels.
Your favorite snowman, Olaf, has finally received the memo that he’s made of the white stuff and plans on turning Cinderella Castle into his personal ice fort. Buckle up, Elsa – the Christmas coup has begun! DMs are open, Kristoff, for Sven-reindeer backup.
Over at EPCOT, it’s clear investigations into the food festival’s year-long menu planning has turned up a spicy gumbo of worldly delights. You heard it here first, folks – the Disney culinary team is clearly compensating for something. I am not saying it’s small… but compared to Cinderella’s Castle makeover, the gingerbread displays may not be the ones receiving the standing ovation.
All things considered, bringing the family down to Disneyland this yuletide season is sure to be a hit – or at the very least, a surefire way to keep the Grinch, also known as your grumpy Uncle Bob, in the holiday spirit!
