Is there a place where Dreams Come True

Christmas at Disney World!
迪士尼樂園美夢成真之旅 - 在迪士尼樂園歡度聖誕.

Every child has a dream. Little girls daydream about marrying Prince Charming and living happily ever after. Boys dream about staying in "Neverland," where they never grow up and can play all day. Is there a place where dreams come true? Well, for at least one or two days? The answer is yes - Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

This is definitely our most unique trip to Disney World because we are going to celebrate Christmas here. Mickey, Buzz Lightyear, Snow White and others will join us in the celebration. All four theme parks are decorated with lights and Christmas trees and decorations. Holiday joy is in the air. In addition to the regular entertainment, special Christmas parades and performances celebrate the season. 

On our Animal Kingdom ride Kilimanjaro Safaris, we glimpse giragges and elephants in their natural environments. The live Festival of the Lion King show combines singing, dancing and acrobatics. The audience takes part in the program as if we were at the festival with the animals.

Movie lovers won't want to miss The Great Movie Ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We ae excited to watch some classic movie clips. Our all-time favorite - Star Wars. Star Tours, a motion-simulated space flight, gives us a chance to experience adventure in 3-D.

On Christmas Eve, Epcot holds a special celebration - the Candlelight Processional. A full orchestra with a mass chorus holding candles performs traditional Christmas music and songs. A famous person reads the Christmas story from the Bible.

At Magic Kingdom, the magnificent fireworks above Cinderella's castle light up the sky. And now, this dreamland is about to come to an end. Have your dreams come true yet? My children will grow up. We will get old. But the sweet memories our family is creating together here and now will stay in our hearts forever. My dream is to enjoy time with my family. And, today, my dream has come true. 

Merry Christmas!
