I have been to Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom too many times to count. Thanks to living so close to the theme park most of my life and now working so closely with Disney for my blog, I get to visit quite often. This time the invite was to cover Christmas at Magic Kingdom 2017. Once again I am wowed by all the magic that one company can bring to any occasion. I mean, there is nothing like Cinderella’s castle at Christmas time. It’s just magical!
