December 1st is officially upon us and that can only mean one thing- Its time to start counting down to Christmas. On a day where most people are getting out those advent calendars we here at Disney Addicts thought we would do a little countdown of our own and one that celebrates just how much we love Disney World at Christmas.

Did you know that they are doing a special Christmas countdown this year for Disney fans and theme park enthusiasts? As part of the D23 Days of Christmas countdown, fans will get to unwrap 23 days of holiday delights with a new “gift” each day for 23 days.
