Holidays at the Disneyland Resort 2015

ByKimberly w/Get Away Today

Hey Everyone, it’s Kimberly from Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today. Today marks the official beginning of Holidays at the Disneyland Resort, and since so many families visit during this magical time of year, I thought it would be fun to share all that’s going on. If you’ve been before, you should know that this year will be different than previous years because it’s also the Diamond Celebration. This is the ONLY year where the holidays and Diamond Celebration will happen at the same time, so it’s one not to miss. Here’s an overview of what’s different, what’s the same, and what’s new:

Hello, Friends! It’s Cathy from Lemon Tree Dwelling, here today to share a delicious holiday breakfast recipe with you! Believe it or not, Christmas is just one week away….and I don’t know about you, but I’m not quite ready! I still have a few gifts to buy, a few treats to package up, a few Christmas dresses to find…..oh – and some food to think about!

Christmas Quiche with Snowflake Crust (she: Jana)

ByJana

I’ve been looking for a great breakfast idea for Christmas morning. Something easy, because I have always been a no big meals on Christmas day kind of gal…who wants to spend their Holiday in the kitchen cooking all day? I love cooking/baking and all, but on this day I just want to spend my time hanging with the fam!

So, when I saw this post that had 7 amazing pie crust designs I started thinking. That can be dangerous at times! HA! Anyway, I thought I’d whip up a beautiful Christmas Quiche with a beautiful snowflake crust (inspired by the Lovely Lace crust) that can be made the day before Christmas so that on Christmas morning all you have to do is bake and serve!

20 Must-Read Christmas Books for Kids

ByMariel

I love collecting Christmas books. They’re such an easy and fun way to create a special moment with the kids and build upon the holiday excitement. After Christmas is over, I pack them away with all of the decorations, so each year when I pull them out, the kids are excited to see the, all over again!

I wanted to add some books to our stack this year, so of course, I hit up my trusty Facebook gals! (You girls always have the best suggestions!)

In our house Christmas morning can be pretty busy. I’m sure it’s like that in most households. The kids get up, we have some family time & open gifts. Sometimes we get together with friends & once in a great while we travel to be with family.

This year will be quiet & I am so looking forward to it. The chaos has lessened now that the kids are older. However- one thing has not changed, the need to have something wonderful on hand for breakfast on Christmas morning.

Bringing Christ Back Into Christmas ~ A Special Family Tradition

ByMariel

Every year, I think about how I can make Christmas more meaningful for my children, bring Christ back into Christmas. I don’t ever want them to be blinded by all the talk of presents and Santa, and forget what Christmas is really about… our Savior. So, this year is different, because of a book that I am SO excited about!

Come read all about this great tradition and enter to win a book of your own!

Disneyland During the Holidays (she: Kim)

ByKimberly w/Get Away Today

Hey Everyone, it’s Kimberly from Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today. It feels like just yesterday I was giving tips on how to keep cool at Disneyland this summer and today the Disneyland Resort is kicking off their official holiday season! Crazy! If you have been wondering about a trip to Disneyland during the holidays, there are a few things to know.
First of all, the official Holidays at the Disneyland Resort begin TODAY and continue through January 6, 2015. More on what to expect at Disneyland during the holidays to come below… with pictures of course.

Secondly, there are a couple of ways to do it. You can travel before the holidays to kick off the season with your family, or can travel over the actual holidays and forget about all of the normal holiday prep, cooking, etc. No matter when you plan on traveling during the holidays, consider making it your family’s main Christmas present. We have lots of fun ideas on how to give the gift of a vacation on GetAwayToday.com.
