Day 1, Part 5 MVMCP
After relaxing in the room for a little bit, and enjoying that beautiful view a little longer, we got everyone freshened up and were on our way to MK for MVMCP -- but just about the time we were heading out, our luggage was delivered by the Bell Man.
So, about 530pm we headed down to the bus stop.
I took this picture while we were walking down to the bus stop.
And these while waiting...
Just a few minutes of waiting and our MK bus arrived. BW was the 1st pick up, so the bus was empty
We stopped at the Swan & Dolphin, then were on our way. Within a few minutes we were arriving at MK.
We took this picture upon arriving
We got our wristbands and headed into MK. Our first stop was picking up "ears" for the boys. The boys decided fairly quickly and Jaxon picked Mickey ears, while Evan picked Goofy ears.
The most beautiful site known to man awaited us when we stepped back on Main Street...Cinderella's castle
If you have never seen the Cinderella's castle during the holidays, let me say...it...is...GORGEOUS!! I mean, simply breathtaking! We admired the castle for a few minutes.
Our first stop was Space Mountain. Hunter was dying to ride this since it was broke down the last time we were at MK.
We stopped to get this pic before heading to SM.
By now it was almost 7pm and Hunter, Harper & I headed to the standby line...wait time, 10 min -- most of which was walking up to the ride. Before we know it, we are zipping through space. I love SM!! So much fun! Hunter & Harper loved the ride too and couldnt wait to ride it later with Bo.
While we were riding, they had started activities for the kids in Tomorrowland. Bo took some pics of the boys - one playing the activity, the other, sporting their new "ears".
We then wanted to head to a ride for the little boys to enjoy, so we stopped and had a Mad Tea Party -- twice!
The first time riding, I had Harper & Jaxon in the tea cup with me. Jaxon loved this ride!
We got off and got back in line for Tea Party #2 -- this time I had Hunter & Evan with me.
Now we are on our way to Dumbo
Walked right up and got on the next cycle -- no waiting. We turned down the opportunity to go in the play area as we figured we would have time for that later in the week. I rode with Jaxon. Evan rode with Bo. Hunter & Harper were both in their own private elephants.
The boys LOVED...LOVED...LOVED...LOVED Dumbo! To this day if you ask them their favorite ride...Dumbo!
Flying high over Storybook circus
Since we were in Fantasyland, we decided to go on Barnstormer to see if Jaxon liked it enough to try Big Thunder Mountain later in the week -- I will save you the suspense, NO HE DID NOT!! Back up a bit, Evan was tall enough to ride this, so we all walked right up to the loading area. Hopped in our "planes" and away we went. Evan was FREAKING out!! He did not like this at all! I couldnt tell what Jaxon thought since he was in the plane behind me with Bo. We got off and Bo told me that Jaxon was freaking out too and did not want to ride it again.
After Barnstormer, Hunter wanted to go on Haunted Mansion. So we headed there and grabbed some cookies along the way. Haunted Mansion -- I love HM!! Did I mention I love HM??!! OH, I dont think I mentioned I love HM!!
The line was moving very quickly, so I only took 1 picture.
The boys liked HM for the most part. Evan is a bit skiddish about the dark, but he didnt do too bad. I held him close and just reassured him. Now, the stretching room...thats a different story! That boy screamed and started crying!
Now we wanted to head over to Woody's Dance Party -- but first, we needed some more cookies and hot chocolate. Did I mention it was chilly tonight!??!! It WAS!!!
Along the way we encountered our first characters for the night, Peter Pan & Wendy. There were just a few people in line, so we waited a few minuted to see them. The character interaction was awesome! Jaxon was a bit nervous about meeting them, so I stayed with him.
We stumbled across the last half of Once Upon A Christmastime parade. I wasnt terribly worried we missed it because we knew we were planning on seeing the 2nd parade of the evening. Since we were on the "wrong" side of where we needed to be, we had to wait until the parade ended to cross over to get to Diamond Horseshoe for the dance party.
Up next -- Woody's dance party!!
I also love the smell of the H20 products. We stayed in a GV and must have gotten 50 bottles of the stuff... We are at the end of the of shampoo and lotion but I still have 5 or 6 bars of soap left! 
Now THAT is how you vacation in Disney World! 
cant wait for more
Sorry, couldnt resist, I love Haunted Mansion 
Going to try and get another update out shortly! Christmas at WDW was so amazing!!
She looks like she is having the best time!
