Hey there, I just wanted to tell you that I love your picture of the Christmas castle you posted on pic of the day. I don't think pictures do the castle justice though and wish everyone could see it in person, it's so beautiful. It looks to me like a dusting of snow across the castle (you know how a light snow shimmers when the sun shines on it?). Pictures of it make it looks like lights on a castle but the real thing is so much more.

If you're an early riser and want to see a similar effect; go over to the Meadows Trading Post at about 7:30, 8:00 or so and go to the back entrance (between the store and the bridge to the pool). There are some bushes there that have some new leaves growing that are a rosy red color. When the sun shines on the dew it has the same snow or sugar frosted look, very pretty. The green leaves didn't do this.

I just got home this morning... if I had known that was you on that site, I would have stopped by & intro'd myself! We were in the White & Black 4 Seater GEM Car that constantly stalked the 700 loop because the decorations were incredible on that loop! (Yours included!) I don't know if you realized it or not, but Samantha Brown from the Travel Channel was filming the decorations at FtW the week of 11/25 to 11/30. I think that was one of the reasons the folks on the sites near the exit of 700 went all out! I saw your cart quite a few times roaming around the Fort over the weekend. Sweeeeet ground effects!!!:thumbsup2

Thanks!!!! I've acutually allways had them on the cart. I'm looking at adding a couple of more batteries so I can put some more lights on. My one battery is not doing very well right now with all the christmas lights and the other stuff on the cart.

So where DO you get those Mickey-head light spikes? I absolutely love those and they look like they could be used any time of year.

they are selling them EVERYWHERE at disney right now. I found some last week at the Settlement Trading Post and she said they go as fast as they put them out, so i got a set of 5 - $45. Turns out, they are EVERYWHERE that they sell Christmas stuff on property. I plan on using them in the summer at the fort!

Well, i flew this trip and didn't want to drag them on either. $9.95 to ship home. If anyone wants the UPC to order from Merchandising, let me know. Once they get here, i'll be glad to let anyone know!

Oh yeah! That would be good! Do you think they'll be the same price from Disney Merchandising as they are at the resort? Thanks for helping me out.

they will definitely be the same price, shipping should be same also since it goes by value now. Also, there is no tax when shipping. I will post back as soon as i get them, should be any day.

whoever said that the 700 loop is really decked out did NOT lie... have mercy! One rig has a SNOW MAKING MACHINE on the roof..... amazing!!! We're here, and we're the least-decorated rig here, I swear..... but it's such fun!!

This is what the 700 loop looked like this morning before we left today after the storm last night.
