Christmas is for sure one of my favorite times of year. The lights, the meaning, the true ambiance make it one of my favorite holidays. Downtown Orlando is a staple when it comes to Central Florida. With so much to offer residents and the surrounding area it truly is the city beautiful.
We attended the official tree lighting ceremony and left in the best holiday spirit. We started the night walking the gorgeous Lake Eola. It has been dubbed "Eola Wonderland" around the lake is gorgeous holiday sculptures that truly make the area dazzle. Each one representing some of the symbols we know about Christmas time.
The lighting of the tree was amazing. It was so fun to be there for the official lighting.. The tree gives me Osborne Lights feelings from the Disney's Hollywood Studios. The lights synced with music to some true holiday classic hits had us all singing along. This year the tree syncs with the fountain in the middle of Lake Eola so it made for a great show.
