Our final full day at DLP…..and could it be true….but yes….it was getting colder!!!! The main lake from our window was now frozen over

and as we walked to the Magic Kingdom, flakes of snow started to fall.

We headed for the comfort of Salon Mickey again and helped ourselves to the free drinks and food, before venturing into the park.

We had decided we were going to make the most of our VIP Fast Pass today and we decided to split up for some of the time. DD had become a Big Thunder Mountain freak this time and we must have gone on the ride 8 or 9 times today. Several were later on in the day as dusk was falling and so was the snow.

I managed to ride my fave Space Mountain today and we also caught the Winter Wonderland show. We had Inventions at the Disneyland Hotel booked for our evening meal, so we grazed on bits and pieces all day. The VIP Fast Pass made our day so much easier.

We decided that we should really see the parades properly today, so we positioned ourselves and froze for a good 30 minutes.

DS was getting very tired and DW and my brother took him off for some shill out time, while me and DS rode BTM until we could take no more.

It was dark and on the walk back to the entrance I manged to snap some shots of the castle.

An unusual angle from behind

We found a spot for Fantillusion near the entrance, so we could make a quick getaway and enjoyed the parade very much……did I mention it was cold though!!!

I love their buffet……..king prawns everywhere you look. The kids enjoyed tucking into their usual healthy treats. Ice cream on a day like this!!!!

Full with food and drink we headed back to our room, only to find a small Mickey for each of the kids waiting and a bowl full of sweets and jelly beans.

Tomorrow…it was the journey home and my review of the whole stay!!!
 
I didn't think your photos could get better but the definately have. Really enjoyed the castle ones.


The cold seems to get right into your bones doesn't it.
