For New Year I think it's difficult to beat the town of Celebration. They usually put on a fantastic evening. Many people take their cooker boxes and set up tables for the evening but there are many food stalls and entertainment with concerts throughout the evening and then at midnight a firweork display that rivals any we've seen at Disney. Last year they dropped the concerts and fireworks (guess it was money) but they have reinstated it all this year by popular demand. Best of all it's free (even parking) so if the weather changes and you go home early then it hasnt cost you anything. There's loads of activities for children. Ice skating etc.

do anything and everything!! its amazing place... we have been twice from dec 1st to 16th dec... always amazed that we have really gorgeous weather and people singing christmas carols.. and loads of christmasy things to buy... love it, my son asked me only yesterday if one trip we can go over at christmas time xx:D let us know how your floridian christmas goes.. please[msnwink]
Okay For christmas -order your Christmas dinner from the Deli in PUblix- easy and good quality
Mickeys very Merry Christmas Party is good, if it is still on, and Epcots processional is lovely. Have a drive around some of the Estates- especially Celebration, to look at their Christmas decorations- they go to such a great deal of trouble- amazing.
Take a fleece jacket to go with the shorts- you will get some cold and some boiling hot days.
Go everywhere to see the decorations, and enjoy it all!!
[Disney on Xmas day, not so good- it is usually filled to capacity]
