Top Holiday Must-Do’s for DVC Members at Disney!

[@kevinayres6553]

Rankin and Bass, “The year without a Santa Clause”. Heat Miser/Cold Miser is a classic holiday treat.

[@meredithrobinson8594]

1. "Year withoiut a Santa Claus" and "Love Actually" 2. Jeff already has the best nickname: Old Key Jeff 3. DEREK: thank you for mentioning the Merry Menagerie at AK. It is the most underrated, overlooked holiday offering at WDW yet is Imagineering at its best (and also my favorite WDW holiday activity)

[@christine3507]

Favorite movies are the original Miracle on 34th Street and The Holiday. Just made a reservation at Tony's for an afternoon in December -- great suggestion, Derek!! Also very much miss the Lights of Winter. I love the Glimmering Greenhouses of Living with the Land and think it's cool they're doing evening Behind the Seeds tours to be able to experience on foot. I don't think I heard this mentioned but we enjoy an afternoon at EPCOT just going around to hear the different storytellers in each country talking about holiday traditions there - and also sipping and snacking along the way.

[@RaymondGrayson-t1x]

Diehard. It is absolutely a Christmas movie.

[@sheriecraik1840]

White Christmas, Elf, Christmas Vacation, It's a Wonderful Life, Home Alone (but my kids watch that year-round) and Christmas Chronicles is a newer one that's been added to our rotation! Plus all the claymation movies about Rudolph, Frosty and Santa Claus... so many!

[@brittanycole2216]

While you were Sleeping, Love Actually, Christmas Vacation are my faves each year.

[@MJ-tastic]

Home Alone, It's a Wonderful Life and Die Hard. Note: I've never seen Christmas Vacation

[@lisabufo6827]

Christmas with the Kranks is pretty hilarious.

[@colinbritt33]

Muppet Christmas Carol above all others!

[@lisawilliams8039]

White Christmas and Elf!

[@RyanG7707]

Claymation Christmas for the win for sure! haha I thought I was the only one left that still watched that thing!

[@shannonchampion6690]

My favorite Christmas movies are It’s a Wonderful Life, The Christmas Story, Home Alone, and Christmas Vacation. Love those all so much! My first trip to Disney during the month of December was back in 2012 and we fell in love with Main Street, and also the different resorts, especially the Grand Floridian and Wilderness Lodge. We have a short adult/anniversary trip mid December and I can’t wait!

[@somuchsomany6290]

The Holiday and Love Actually are my absolute favorite Christmas movies!🎄

[@marieliebetrau8948]

I love, love, love Panda's outfit for this episode :)

[@courtneyberwick9962]

Just went to Jock Lindsay’s this weekend. It just puts you right in the spirit!

[@brianb6060]

My favorite is Scrooged with Bill Murray.

[@JustinCredible31]

Derek is embracing his villain arc. LOL

[@DZ-JBH]

Favorite holiday movie … Spirited.

[@graceschmidt1942]

My favorite is It's a Wonderful Life. Classic and Jimmy Stewart.

[@NorthStarMagic_]

Year without a Santa Claus, Santa Claus is comin' to town and Jack Frost. I love the old claymation 🥹

[@marciepratt7516]

The Family Man is an underrated Christmas movie! But I do love the classics: Rudolph, Frosty, Charlie Brown, The Grinch and the claymation movies.

[@angelinesmith6699]

Osborne Christmas lights with snow was amazing. We Really miss it

[@AndreaCobb-t1w]

I love A Christmas Story and Spirited; my husband watches It’s a Wonderful Life every year without fail.

[@pipeline818]

I love the obscure, yet memorable Muppet Family Christmas Special from 1987!

[@jasononeil1242]

Disney’s A Christmas Carol.

[@jgparmele]

"Scrooge" 1970 Musical. If you haven't seen it, treat yourself!

[@jpmpurrenhage]

Absolutely. The best of them all. It's long. It's worth it. Albert Finney. Seek it out.

[@karens8633]

A Christmas Story! “You’ll shoot your eye out kid!”

[@ritaglica8317]

Love Christmas with the Kranks and Christmas Vacation, but a must watch is Mixed Nuts, so funny.

[@lisareckmeyer9745]

I remember watching your video visiting all the resorts! I must have watched it on a Saturday, I think I watched in 45 min increments, but yes it was a lot of fun ... almost like being there with you!

[@user-ld4qr3eg7b]

Panda, I love your hat. I hope I see it next week

[@cindycalcagni8299]

I have to watch “It’s a Wonderful Life”. An oldie but a classic

[@gregjankowski2115]

Look at the birds in the trees, we are not birds we are a jug band! Love it too Panda

[@ambyrclark3345]

Christmas 👠 shoes such a tear jerker but great message

[@zepplinrox3]

Die Hard! It's a Christmas movie!

[@veronicareitherreese6671]

The Santa photo op in DCA's Redwood Challenge Trail is great.

[@dee_mcgee11]

I'm heading down tomorrow for the MVMCP. My first Disney holiday party! 🎉

[@frankcarey5377]

The first Christmas movie we watch is Polar Express. Every year it’s Polar Express. I can have it on and be in another room and watch with my mind’s eye.

[@brianburke4409]

Great show! Much needed holiday vibes. 🎄💚

[@DMicahH]

A Christmas Carol with Alistair Sim as Scrooge. Muppets Christmas Carol is pretty good, too.

[@junecharleston5388]

Wonderful Life

[@txhimlauj]

I love most Christmas movies and specials. My favorite is A Wish For Wings That Work. Also just to mention something I haven’t seen here is Scrooged.

[@jarrettc7215]

I thought Derek was going to say he LOVES going to the Christmas party. Joking aside, there is lots of free holiday stuff. I just love walking the countries and taking in the customs and decorations and strolling the resorts. Love me some Christmas at wilderness lodge.

[@JanSDisney1974]

My favorite Christmas movies are White Christmas, Christmas With the Kranks and Santa Claus. My husband and I LOVED the Lights of Winter at EPCOT! it was beautiful!! Miss it so much! Osborne Lights at Disney MGM/HollywoodStudios were fantastic! Can’t wait for my trip in 31 days!!! 🎄🤗🎄

[@TC-cl9xj]

Older fan here ... like many listed ... Christmas Vacation, Elf, Santa etc ... Cartoons or Rankin Bass like Rudolph, Charlie Brown, Frosty etc ... but our favorite movies are old classics ... Wonderful Life ... and Christmas in Connecticut ... also obscure The Bishop's Wife and even more obscure It Happened on 5th Avenue - try them for old black and whites ... #1 - White Christmas ... Merry Christmas All !!!

[@JenThePirate]

Jeff mentioned the West Wing Christmas episodes 👍👍👍my all time fave tv show My fave Christmas show since you asked is A Christmas Carol. Specifically the George C Scott version.

[@JenThePirate]

Donated to GKTW via your link 👍

[@tarasilva532]

We were able to get the candy canes last Christmas season at Disneyland. My husband was devastated to spend his rope drop in line for a candy cane, but once the sweet ladies in front of us explained how special they were to be able to snag he settled down ;) $25 each and we were 8th in line so we didn't have to come back, but were able to purchase right then!

[@stephanieserrano5003]

It’s a Wonderful Life is one of my absolute favorite movies of all time! So sweet and heartwarming. My runner up, and the one I actually watch the most, is Christmas Vacation. ❤ I’ve never watched Love Actually. I’ll have to give it a shot.

[@itsninaababyy]

Growing up we would always watch the live action Grinch movie. I would also like to give an honorable mention to Patti Labelle's 1996 christmas tree lighting performance which was a recent discovery for me and will become a yearly tradition 😅

[@katherinerogers5681]

My kids fav is Christmas story. We play it all day xmas day. Now we also play Christmas story sequils as well.

[@willnic9437]

In case you're pressed for time, the recommendations start around 13:30. I'm trying to figure out what I can get done in 36 hours at WDW in mid-December.

[@frankcarney4882]

We also miss the lights , our favorite picture of us has the castle in the background all lite up

[@kylemurphy8814]

We will be there for a long weekend in December (7th-9th) and plan to do some touring of the resorts as well as enjoying the decorations on Main Street and at Epcot. Derek, I was watching on KZbin with our 1-year-old and she pointed you out! I'm thinking she remembers you from when we met you last summer. Looks like you have another fan!

[@chrisscarfo1149]

It’s a wonderful life!

[@denisegaze4961]

My favourite Christmas films are a Wonderful Life and Love Actually. I’ve just seen Red One and that’s really good too.

[@trevorb5557]

For me it’s White Christmas and The Holiday.

[@robinheckman5066]

White Christmas is a must.

[@MCL-cx9ne]

A Christmas Story, A Charlie Brown Christmas and Santa Clause 😀

[@jamescolvin4463]

Wait...Derek likes Vero Beach? Who knew🤣 Full disclosure...I'm 52 and have never watched Love Actually. Adding it to the list for this holiday season. Great show, as always!

[@frankcarney4882]

Derek, how could you not like , "The Santa Clause" I'm with Amy the first is it.

[@timothyholt8600]

Muppets Christmas Carol!!!!

[@gregjankowski2115]

WKRP Thanksgivings tops

[@DMicahH]

“As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly…”

[@YamKriegs]

I’ve seen that. 😂 My mom still talks about that episode with the turkeys. lol

[@ScottUllmann]

I forgot about Claymation Christmas! I watched that so much as a kid, couldn’t remember what it was titled😊

[@DZ-JBH]

Paul, did you say heading north to Wheeling? As in Wheeling IL?

[@rhiannoncurto]

The Holiday and Charlie Brown Christmas

[@waverlyi78]

Hey Paul, I hear you telling Mr Old Key West a.k.a. Jeff that you need to find him a title. I've got it 🥁 roll please........ Mr. Jeff "Buy it All" Haslam. 🎉🎆👍🤗

[@michaeljensen1817]

I'm not really a movie guy. I'm a good food network Christmas watcher. The holiday baking championship, Christmas cookie challenge, etc.

[@yedliw]

The best Christmas movie is Muppets Christmas Carol. If you don't have time for a full movie, the Mickey version will work. An obscure one is Trapped in Paradise One not for the kids is Bad Santa.

[@jenniferzivoin3405]

I also don't like "The Santa Claus" or "Elf". In our home, we love "Charlie Brown Christmas" and "White Christmas" and the Claymation Christmas is GOLD!!!!!!

[@Chili327]

Rankin Bass are the best. Also, Disneyland Candy Canes are $19.99

[@janemace2522]

We were lucky enough to see the Lights of Winter in 1994 🤩

[@jafro5]

Amy can you post the link to the Zack Snyder 3 hr special of the resort tour from last year?

[@DVCFan]

Here you go! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/op2VkJurhdOog5Ysi=vjtJw37IvU3zYTQZ

[@TerryBenner]

What about Thanksgiving guys. It's the best family holiday when you can get together and just be thankful.

[@brantnerk2]

WHITE CHRISTMAS!!!

[@frankcarney4882]

And Paul what is your movie

[@ajmayowskijr]

[@kimlindemann2924]

It Happened on 5th Avenue (1947)

[@lisareckmeyer9745]

I have to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" or did I really celebrate Christmas? 😅

[@jeanstein6285]

I would donate $500 to Give Kids the world for a Holiday Resort tour.

[@LewieE44]

Actually Lethal Weapon is more of a Christmas movie than Die Hard!

[@zepplinrox3]

Die Hard is at the Nokatomi Christmas party.... lol😂

[@jeffhaslam9328]

@@zepplinrox3but Letheal Weapon…Riggs busts drug dealers at a Christmas tree lot!

[@LewieE44]

@@zepplinrox3I know, but watch Lethal Weapon, it begins in a Christmas Tree lot and there is actually more “Christmas” in it than there is in Die Hard. I love them both as Christmas classics!

[@ryukagesama]

Love Actually? *blech* Give me something that's actually romantic.

[@LewieE44]
