Disney Parks Blog Weekly Recap Dec. 28, 2014

This week our holiday content hit a high point, with two new videos that showed the wonder of a child’s first Christmas spent at Walt Disney World Resort.

In one, we take a look at child’s first visit with his grandparents, and learn just how special and memorable that moment can be for everyone.

And in another, we see that Disney characters can make a special memory for our youngest guests during the holiday season.

Here are some of the other holiday stories we worked on this week.
