Okay, as promised, I'm ready for an update (I may even two tonight because I REALLY have to get working on the "unofficial" CSR thread and work has not left me as much time as I would like to DIS).
So when I last left you, we had just finished riding Haunted Mansion and were headed to our first character meet and greet. There was one picture that we cared most about at this party after reading all about it on the DIS. So after leaving the Haunted Mansion, we headed towards Fantasyland. And this is what we saw:
So we proceeded to get in line for our opportunity to have our photo taken with all seven of the dwarfs. The line wasn't too long when we entered it since we got there right around 7, but once we were in it, the line proceeded to grow and grow.
Of course, Mark wore the WRONG shirt this night. This, the man who always wears Grumpy t-shirts, wore his Dumbo shirt. But that was okay as we parked him in the picture right where he should be:
After our photo with the seven little guys, we continued to walk toward Fantasyland. We passed the front of Pinocchio's Village Haus where they had Cinderella's carriage (Mark NIXED an idea of a picture in front of that, but we did go through the trick or treat line
) and went right to Dumbo to ride it at night:
I tried to take a couple of pictures while flying in the air with Dumbo, and this was the result:
From there, it was off to one of my favorites--Winnie-the Pooh:
We went through another trick or treat line on our way to Tomorrowland to see how long the line was for Space Mountain as I considered riding it myself. However, it was over 40 minutes and I didn't want to wait that long. So Mark and I decided to sit down with a snack (popcorn for me, ice cream for him) and watch the entertainment that was going on in Tomorrowland:
This was a really cute show with Goofy, Chip and Dale and Stitch (ugh) dancing to disco music, country, music, etc. Some of the characters came down and danced with the crowd. It was really cute.
We decided to head up to the front of the park and see if we could find a spot for HallowoWishes. As we approached, we saw how crowded it looked. We saw a abench on the path that leads toward Tomorrowland past Cosmic Rays (near where Belle's Storytime used to appear) and sat there to watch the fireworks. I'm not great with fireworks pictures (I'm working on it, but here are a few that I think turned out pretty well.
This was a spectacular fireworks display. I loved how the castle kept changing colors and they would have silhouette appear on the facade of the castle.
Up next, Boo to You Halloween Parade and another character meet and greet.
Cute pics on Dumbo! Maybe if we get to the party early this year, we'll get in line for the 7 Dwarfs. I really want to do that one but we've never gotten there early enough so the wait was always 2 hours. Maybe this year we'll make it!
