December 21st. Upon waking and getting ready we took the bus to MGM. Before going any further I want to mention that we used the WDW transportation system EXTENSIVELY this trip and we never waited more than a few minutes for a bus or a boat. Once at MGM we headed and got a fast pass Star Tours and then went to the back of the park to do Muppets. We continued from attraction to attraction and got fast passes as soon as we had usd our previous one. The wait times were not very long for anything xcept tje Great Movie Ride so we just came back to that one later in the day. We had an early lunch at the ABC Commissary. We had fish and chips, bacon double cheeseburgers and fries, chocolate cream pie and strawberry cheesecake and soft drinks. Everything was good and we used our connection vouchers here as well. I believe we still came out ahead here and I liked the fact that most of our meals were paid for before we left home. We spent the fternoon taking in the remainder of the attractionas and looking in the shops. For dinner we took the boat over to the Beach Club for our PS at Cape May Cafe. The lobby was decorated very nicely for the holidays. The buffet was very good. There were clams and mussels(we didnt try the mussels),corn on the cob and red potatoes on the one side of the buffet along with clam chowder and some other soup. On another side of the buffet there were all kinds of cold salads and cold shrimp. Along another side were all the hot entrees such as ribs,chicken and a few items I dont recall. There was a childrens area of the buffet with chicken tenders and macaroni and cheese. The desserts were very good and there were many to choose from. After dinner we took the boat back to MGM and took in the Osbourne lights. They were spectacular. We took our time looking around and then took the bus back to WL. We filled our mugs that we had bought the day we checked in,at Roaring Forks. Sat in the lobby a bit and headed back upstairs to our room. Housekeeping had the room done up of course and there were plenty of Mickey soaps,shampoo and lotion each day of our trip. Watched some tv and turned in.
Tomorrow: Animal Kingdom
 
A full but fun day for all - you had dinner at one of my favorite places too - thanks for posting!
 
Sounds like a great trip so far- I can just imagine how beautiful the WL is at Christmas! I can't wait to see it again in a few weeks!
