Dont you just love it, when things work out .. - Part 8
About 10 minutes before the second tree lighting ceremony was about to start we headed out to Main Street again, found a great spot to watch the Tree Lighting Ceremony from another angle and waited for it to begin.
It was as impressive as the first time and even though it was way after Christmas it felt really like Christmas with snow and Christmas songs.
Tree Lighting over we walked towards the castle again, took a few pictures
and then contemplated what to do now.
We strolled over to Adventureland and found the Indiana Jones ride down, Big Thunder had a 70 minute wait, so we headed over to the Pirates of the Caribbean. And yippie, this is where we got lucky.
It only had a 10 minute wait posted, which was more like a 5 minute stroll onto the boat and off we went to meet the pirates.
After the ride we strolled over to Fantasyland,
but the line for Peter Pan was 50 minutes long, so we gave it a miss. SnowWhite had a line out the door, but the line for Pinocchios ride was only 10 minutes long. We got in line
and it was about a 10 minute wait.
There was a family with a young child who we let go in the front row seats and off we went. Once we reached the end the CM who was manning the exit asked if we all wanted to stay on for another round, but Tom opted not to, so we got off.
And after those two rides and a quest to find a certain hat for Tom we decided to try and find out if the short cut to Discoveryland was open. It was
so we took the short cut, checked out the store there, but no hat and came up with the idea of taking the train back to Main Street.
So we walked up to the train station to find a CM huddled into a little shelter. She let us know that the next train would be the last one out, but it would be a 15 minute wait.
We didnt mind the wait and had the whole platform to ourselves,
checking it all out and taking photos.
I think the CM felt obliged to entertain us a bit and came over to chat. She was very nice, but had a heavy accent and we had a hard time understanding her.
To be continued .....
