...DANCING LIGHTS!

The mr. and I took a quick trip over to "Hollywood Studios" better known in our fam as MGM, because it will ALWAYS be MGM, for a look-see at the so called spectacle that they put on with all the Christmas lights. OH. MY. WORD. Those lights were no joke! You literally walk down an entire street covered head to toe in lights that blink according to song! Take a look for yourself...

"...THE CHRISTMAS RUSH IS THROUGH" 
 
Fun fact? We actually took our Christmas card photos in January of 2015! We loved the snowy look seen on so many Holiday cards, but living in Florida, this was a never in a million years kind of thing. Soooo while the whole fam-bam was in Aspen on a ski trip in January... we took half of a day to get all gussied up and hop in front of the camera lens. I painted it before sending the finished product to Minted for printing and gold foiling. 

I picked a sassy flamingo stamp from Zazzle and sealed the envelopes with Sugar Paper L.A. for Target washi tape and a gold inked return address stamp made by the ever so talented Betsy of Heavens to Betsy Caligraphy. We are totally smitten with the way they turned out!

A PEEK INSIDE MY CAMERA LENSE

Main Street U.S.A. with a glittering Cinderella's castle lit by none other than Elsa, herself.

There was a super special Christmas parade with princesses in beautiful carriages and toy soldiers marching in formations as if they were on a football field at halftime.

Balloons with light up mickeys inside.

And not one fireworks show, but two fireworks shows! The second being a surround of fireworks. None of that 'oh that's cute, there's fireworks over the castle' business. I mean five separate fireworks locations surrounding you in the castle hub all firing at the same time so you actually feel like you are in the princess movie and not just watching it from the outside.

Plus a small selfie from Adventureland where we came across our first of many complimentary ho-cho and sugar cookie combo.  

As we should allllll know by now, the mr. and I are big ole fans of The Mouse and his Floridian house. This is our second year as passholders, and we are happy to report that we will never be returning to the darkside again. However, there are several parties in the parks throughout the year that not a pass out there can grant you access to. They are separately priced tickets, and now we TOTALLY get why. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party crushed expectations!

ON WEDNESDAYS WE BLOG

Hi there gal-pals! After being so super quiet in the blogosphere for the past few years, I have taken the plunge and jumped back in (whoop)! Here, I will post about once a week to throw you in the loop of the haps over here at Casa de Kyla! I'm pretty sure it will be super great, but if you hate it, don't read it.
