Before taking the plunge our family would enjoy the Christmas festivities at Gaylord Texan. Even though it was only a few miles from our house, it always made for a great holiday getaway. We made many memories during the holiday seasons at the Gaylor Texan and now we are lucky enough to live right down the street from the Gaylord Palms here in Orlando.
