Merry Christmas!!!
I only managed 2 hours sleep and was shattered. Id had trouble going to sleep and then was disturbed by the room at the back of us whos air conditioning or fan had busted and was clanking and humming all night. I hate it that hubby can sleep through these things! We were woken at 6.52 by Stitch saying no sleeping again. Hubby found a lovely bag hanging on our door handle with a Christmas card inside as well as some sweets and chocolate which I thought was such a lovely idea.
our goodie bag in front of the tree - how cute!
I slowly got ready and we were at the bus stop by 8am. We waited about 5 minutes, by which time the queue grew huge. We managed to find seats on the bus so were happy. We were both amazed by how little vehicles were actually about wed both figured Magic Kingdom would be heaving and very early on too. We got off the bus and walked to the entrance. There were no lines at all, which was not what wed been expecting at all.
The Christmas lights were all lit up for the morning, they looked lovely. We went straight into Exposition Hall so I could pick up the MK and Walt Disney World Christmas pins. We took a slow walk up Main Street and headed straight for Tomorrowland. There already was a 15 minute wait for Stitchs Great Escape. We carried on walking though as I wanted to ride Buzz Lightyear and the TTA. There was less than a 5 minute wait for Buzz it certainly wasnt the 0 min wait it was posting but that was due to the ride stopping. We soon got in our cruiser and hubby got the 100,000 Z and as I was aiming for it, he turned the car around argh! I still say he done it on purpose. The car stopped for a minute or so during the ride but it didnt take us long to get going again. I got 140,000 and hubby scored nearly 400,000 bah humbug! As we left Buzz, we saw Chip, Dale and Pluto posing for photos so naturally I had to have my photos taken with them.
The TTA was empty so we went round twice, hubby recording it for me (thank you babes!). Stitch was posing by the Timekeeper ride so I got my photo taken with Stitch for the first time, yay!
From here we headed to the Crystal Palace for our breakfast date with Pooh and friends. We were walking towards Casey's when the trolley full of the Main Street Dancers stopped right by us so hubby filmed it for me and took a few pictures.
I adore these guys and couldn't help but sing along. Once they'd finished, we carried on towards the Crystal Palace. So many people were trying to queue jump and the queue for those without PS's was humungous and people couldn't understand why they were being turned away. Surely it's well known that Christmas Day is a busy one at MK? I can't believe how many people were trying to get PS's. Some people were even joining the PS queue and getting turned away. We were a bit early but we waited and were seated right on time.
Pooh came round straight away so we posed with Pooh.
I went to inspect the breakfast food. Wow, it was impressive! Everything you can think of yogurts, bagels and cream cheese, fruit, cheese, hard boiled eggs, scrambled egg, vegetable frittata, bacon, sausages, potatoes, hash browns with melted cheese etc. Oh and the breakfast lasagna, not that I tried any. I mostly ate the frittata which was incredible and sausages with a bagel with cream cheese. We had visits from Eeyore and Tigger. I managed to knock over a glass of orange juice at Eeyore due to my excitement and frightened him - hence the sheepish look on my face:
Tigger was nutty and was picking up plates and pouring syrup over everyone. The table next to us got served coffee by him. When he came round the 2nd time, he was kissing the ladies hands and shaking the mens hands.
We finished breakfast after 2 visits to the buffet, paid and then met Piglet for a photo.
