MARGARETE CHERNIN
Hello everyone my name is Margarete Chernin and welcome to my first Florida blog. I am writing this from my home in Toronto, Ontario, Canada where I currently reside. However, traveling to Florida several times a year I consider it my home away from home. In these blogs I will write about the different seasons that Florida has to offer. Also, each month I will take a different city and high light what it has to offer.
December is an interesting month as it combination of 2 seasons. The first: Snowbird Season, which officially Starts October/November and goes through April/May. Remember Snowbirds as Non US citizens you can legally stay in Florida for 6 months less 1 day. No visa is needed unless you want to stay longer. The second: Tree planting season (December – February). It’s important to follow proper tree planting techniques with the different types of tree(s) that you choose to plant.
Since Christmas / New Years is just around the corner I figured that we shall start with an area of Florida that will be consumed with people young and old alike Orlando! More specifically Walt Disneyworld, here are some tips for getting around Disney in December:
-
Please note, that Epcot and the Magic Kingdom will be full to capacity on Christmas Day. A better choice on that day would be Disney’s Hollywood Studios & Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme parks.
- During the First 2 week of December the crowds are only mid-level and quite manageable
- December 20 – January 1, Christmas Break! You will experience more then heavier “Peak” crowds, known as “Holiday Crowds”. A good touring plan with “Best Days” information is absolutely essential if you don’t want to spend your whole vacation standing in line
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Fantasmic!) – This show is no longer presented every night. However, it will be offered Dec 24 – Jan 2, 2011. It is a very popular show and highly recommended to arrive 70-90 minutes early. Warning: This show is excellent but it does feature villains for a good 8-10 minutes (The scene is fairly intense and can be frightening to small children)
- Disney’s Main Street Electrical Parade (Magical Kingdom), is a wonderful night-time parade and is not offered every night. Please check Disney’s Website for more information.
- Extra Magic Hours (Available to Disney resort hotel guests only).

If you’re a frequent Walt Disneyworld traveler it maybe more fun to have a place in Orlando that you can call home. For more information check out: www.floridacondoconnections.com/areas/cenral/orlando/
