The Mad Hatter: There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter.

It was another cold day in the land of Disney, not leaving the warm room was a tempting idea, but we had lunch ADR plans with TnT+C. We took a bus to Magic Kingdom then walked over to the Wilderness Lodge bus. While we were waiting Bill was cold enough to let me put his hood up but not cold enough to wrap the blanket around him:
The bus finally came and we made our way into the massively impressive lobby. It is gorgeous. I want to stay here one day. We met up with everyone and went to check in. The Lincoln logs were too much of a temptation for some people:
Bill supervised while Terry was the official photographer of the construction:
There are no food porn pictures. I think we all got the skillet, Terry and company were not impressed, our waitress was a complete dud and the one next to us was way over the top even for Whispering Canyon. If they could have combined the two it would have been one fantastic server.
After lunch we made our way to the dock to go to Magic Kingdom, some Wilderness Lodge pictures for your viewing pleasure:
It was just a bit cold waiting for the boat:
Chad was killing me with wearing only a tee shirt, apparently he didnt obsessively go to weather.com before getting on the plane like I did. ROOKIE!!!
The boat finally arrived, it wasnt a long wait but seemed to take forever because of the cold:
It was a nice ride and we enjoyed it. Once we got to Magic Kingdom we parted ways. Toni will have to fill us in on her report as to what they did then. I think they took stuff back to the room. We went through bag check, entered the park and I saw this:
It was such a beautiful bird, just hanging out and watching the crowd.
I love the way they create things with flowers and plants:
We headed into:
Someone kept standing up so we had to sit in the first scene twice while they got reprimanded.
Then we went to Monsters, Inc:
I know after this we went into the shops and looked around to stay warm. The goal was the Main Street Electrical Parade, we are hard core Spectromagic people and wanted to see how this parade differed.
We made our way over to the accessible location in Liberty Square. Bill likes this area because he is up front for the parade, I like it because there is a ledge where I can get off my feet for a bit. I had never tried WDW popcorn, people all around us were eating it and the smell was very enticing, so I gave in and got some. Here is Bill waiting:
He was all snug in Tonis blanket. People went crazy over it all throughout our trip but really did this night. Cast members and guests kept asking us where we got it, how we got it, or where they could get one. I should have taken their info and given it to Toni. She would be rich and would be joining us again in WDW instead of having to wait until 2012
.
Ok back to the parade, I know I was freezing and wanting to be back in the room so that had to influence my opinion but when I saw the floats and heard the music I kept comparing it to Spectro and it kept coming up short to me. I have the Spectro CD and the parade holds many wonderful memories for me. Now looking at the pictures again, it does look pretty cool and I will give it another shot (if I am not freezing). Here are some pictures:
After the parade we looked at each other and knew it was time to leave. We made our way through the shops so we would stay warmer and went to the bus stop and back to Pop. We had decided to order a pizza from the food court:
It wasnt the best pizza in the world, but wasnt the worst either, it filled us up. We were warm and talking about dreading the next day. Toni, Terry, and Chad were leaving.
Next installment We dont want it to end

......... Oh ya is was COLD 
. Oh you need to go see WL one day, it is beautiful. I know about the Spectro music starting up, I just love the beginning of it.

When we went last Feb it was the coldest trip we've ever taken to WDW. The wind just beat you down and you just ended up exhausted by the end of the day!
I have fond memories of sitting on my Dad's shoulders watching it as a child.
