Even though I've written many stories about our trips to Disney theme parks, there are often photos and situations that never get told. So I had this idea to start what I'm calling "Theme Park Thursdays." Basically, I'll post a photo or two from a previous trip and jot down a couple of words about it. Well, at least that's the idea. We'll see how it works in the coming weeks!

Dusk approaches on Crescent Lake (2009)

In December 2009, my family was given the fortunate opportunity to rent a Disney Vacation Club villa from a friend, giving us a week at the Beach Club near Epcot around Christmastime. Given that we typically camped at Walt Disney World (Fort Wilderness Forever!), this was quite a different experience.

One of the highlights for me was the entire well-themed Boardwark area set around Crescent Lake, which joins the Yacht Club, Beach Club, Boardwalk, Swan, and Dolphin resorts together. The lights and setting were quite magical!
