We were in the World from 12/11-12/15. We stayed at the Poly (our first time) and we LOVED it!!!!!
We went to 2 MVMCPs. One on the 12/12 & the other on 12/14. We really enjoyed the parties. We did NOT get our free pictures at either party because every line we saw was LONG!!! So we decided to just skip it. We were able to walk on rides in fanastyland during the first parade. The only ride that had a wait to it was Peter Pan & that was about a 15 min wait.
The 12/12 party was a tad crowded but it was a sold out party, but really we didn't run into too bad of crowds. The party on 12/14 was GREAT!!!!! We had a wonderful time. We really enjoyed the "snow" and just the over all feeling on Main Street. We totally fell in love with the Christmas parade!!!
We went to Magic Kingdom on 12/12 & walked on every ride in Fanastyland! We did Pooh, Dumbo (2x), Snow white, Tea Cups, Ariel's Grotto, Mickey's Philharmagic, Peter Pan, Small World, Haunted Manison & BTMMR all by NOON!!!!!
We went to Epcot on 12/13 & walk on every ride!!! There wasn't many people there, at least in the morning. We walked on Test Track and got in right away. We did the parent swap for Mission Space. I was surpised but my son decided not to go on it, I didn't push it so we just did a child swap. I went first & walked on right away!!! WOW!!!! WHAT A RIDE!!!!! A+++++++++++
We did the Candle Processional that evening. Wow! Beautiful
On Sunday we went to Animal Kingdom, where it RAINED!!!!! I am not talking about a little rain either, but good thing was there was NO ONE in the park that morning. We walked right on to the Safari at 10am. We just put on our pochnos & had a good time.
The rain did light up by 12:00 and I noticed people were coming into the park as we were leaving.
Overall review
<b>Crowds</b>...not that bad, We have only went in June before so compared to June there wasn't much of a crowd
<B>Weather</B>...very nice! I know it might be cold to some people but to us we put on a sweatshirt & pants on for the party & were comfortable. The longest we had to wait for a ride was about 15 minutes & that was for Peter Pan during the Christmas Party. Our only rain day was Sunday the 14th, but it really didn't stay.
<B>WISHES:</B> WOW!!!!!
<B>Mickey's Philharmagic:</B> A++++ We loved & saw it 3x. I think this is a great 3D show for both young & old
<b>Mission Space:</B> WOW!!!!! A+++++ ride. Although I could not go on twice in a row. My stomach felt "off" for hours later. I am not one to get motion sickness, I don't tihnk that was really what it was, my stomach didn't feel sick just "off" BUT I would go on that ride in a heart beat again!!!!!
<b> Carossel of Progess </b> Last time we were at Disney, it was closed so we made sure we went on it this time around. We really enjoyed it alot. Although we could tell the ride does need some repairs, but it was a good ride.
<b> MVMCP </B> Excellent. We really enjoyed the party. We would love to go back next year, guess we better start saving those pennies. LOL
<b> Characters </b> we saw quite a few characters in the parks. My son was dressed up as Prince Phillip when we went to Magic Kingdom & the characters, especially Belle, Cinderella & Minnie really gave him a lot of attention. My son was eating it up too!!!
We never did run into Sleeping Beauty though, but she pointed him out during the parade & had him stand up so Prince Phillip himself could see him.
Cinderella spent quite bit of time with him. This was at Toon Town & there wasn't may other people there, we were the only ones in the room with Cinderella. She posed for a lot of pictues, gave him lots of kisses & my son even escorted her out the door....very magical
We also ran into all of the 7 dwarfs during the party, something we never saw before so that was neat!
We also got to ride in the front of the monorail twice, Once to Magic Kingdom & once again going to Epcot.
Overall it was a very magical trip. We felt the magic around us. We didn't see any crabby CMs, infact everyone was run into was very nice.
Our only disappointments........
We didn't see Tarzan Rocks again, the stage was still wet because it rained. That happened to us in June too so we still have not seen Tarzan Rocks. Hopefully next trip we can see it.
We ran out of time & never made it over to MGM and didn't ride my FAVORITE ride Tower of Terror!!!!!!
Also our major disappointment was we lost a roll of film at Crystal Palace
I know it was there. What happen was Tigger came over to sit by me & moved our bags over. Well, I just had changed a roll of film & I think it got knocked out of the bag We didn't notice it was missing until a few hours later. We did go back to Crystal Palace, they were closing & cleaning up but we did not find it. I was so sad, but there is nothing that we can really do. We did call the Lost and Found but so far no luck. I am not suspecting it to turn up either
It was a roll of my son with a lot of characters like Ariel, Captian Hook & Mr. Smee, Genie (which we never met before) & some characters on main street & Pooh, Eeyore & Piglet from Crystal Palace.
I was bummed, still am, but not much we can do.
We had an excellent time! On 12/14 before we left the party we all just stood on Main Street & watched the castle change colors, took in all the sights & sounds on Main Street. We finally blew a kiss to the castle & my son waved "Good bye" to the Castle. I got teared up...I did not want to leave
At least we have something to look forward too...our June trip only 170 days away!!!!!
