SDC at christmas...it's hard to go and NOT have fun. Glad to hear you already made the decision to go. Here's my list of "can't miss" events that I enjoy... The buffet at Molly's Mill (it's as close as you will ever get to thanksgiving or christmas dinner at a theme park), the dicken's christmas show, listening to/watching the giant tree on the square, listening to the homestead pickers squak about listening to the giant tree on the square, the train with "grandpa", anything that involves photos ops and christmas lights. One year my wife and I stayed at one of the log cabins @ SDC campground. We brought a lot of firewood and had the fireplace going the entire time. We had a blast, but I urge you to check the prices if you are considering a log cabin with fireplace, they can be pricey, we were only able to stay one night. Dress warm and be sure to invest in single use chemical hand warmers that you can pick up at any sporting goods store.
