Deck the halls with Donald
Disney’s Animal Kingdom will celebrate the yule with a little help from Donald Duck, Santa Goofy and other ‘toon pals. From Nov. 29, 2002-Jan. 1, 2003, Donald will host a special holiday edition of “Donald’s Breakfastosaurus” in DinoLand U.S.A. For more information or priority seating arrangements for the special character dining experience, guests may call 407/WDW-DINE.

Tasty Treats, Artful Sweets Take Center Stage
Disney chefs have a season to remember on the 2002 menu, with elaborate confectionary creations and larger-than-life, edible displays planned for locations across Walt Disney World property:

• A life-size spinning carousel will glide in the lobby of Disney’s Beach Club Resort. Featuring ponies made of sugar, giant candy cane poles, hand-crafted poinsettias and portraits of famous Disney characters on a lighted roof of gingerbread, the carousel will greet guests next to the resort’s giant holiday tree. As Walt Disney World Resort continues the yearlong 100 Years of Magic celebration through the holidays, it’s fitting that the carousel will be 100 percent edible. In fact, Disney pastry chefs will work with more than 100 pints of eggs, 100 pounds of icing, 100 pounds of flour and 100 pounds of sugar to create the colossal confection.
• At Epcot, The American Adventure pavilion in the park’s World Showcase will be home to Santa’s Bakeshop, a life-size house made entirely of gingerbread, cookies and icing.
• A few miles away from Epcot, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa will again feature its 16-foot-high house made from more than 16,000 pieces of gingerbread.

‘Tis the Season to Shop
It’s “Christmastime in the City” -- Downtown Disney, that is -- and the entertainment, shopping and dining center is celebrating with seasonal songs and Santa. Two new retail outlets at Downtown Disney Marketplace -- Once Upon A Toy and Disney’s Pin Traders -- highlight holiday shopping. From Nov. 29 through Christmas Eve, Santa Claus will make appearances at his very own chalet, right outside World of Disney, the world’s largest Disney character store. In all, there are more than 25 one-of-a-kind stores and merchandise locations across the 120-acre Downtown Disney area.

My daughter went at Xmas 2002 and thought it was fantastic. I didn't go and have regretted it ever since.

You get these 'magic glasses' and when you put them on lights, street lights etc turn into angels!
