we walked through the store along Main Street and picked up a couple xmas ornaments before heading over to DTD and the World of Disney...just wandered around for a bit....shock of all shocks we didn't buy anything
it was about 930 so we headed over to DCA to get inline....this is the new entrance - they took down the "CALIFORNIA" letters in front...looks empty without them
we got in and headed right to Soarin to get FP then to the rope drop for TSM which doesn't have FP...waited about 20 minutes and then the race was on!
we got in line for TSM and waited about 10-15 minutes so not to bad
the line was moving pretty quick so didn't take any photos of the queue, sorry!
next up and visit with the big guy himself!
santa's tree and gazebo
megan wasn't really wanting to see santa again - had already done it at home - but finally convienced her! santa asked what she wanted - Camera! then he asked me "said a DD who didn't sass her mama" he laughed and said he'd do his best and "sprinkled" some santa pixie dust on Megan!
up next Ariels undersea adventure - you ride in clam shells
its a really cute ride!
I was then on a mission for us to see Holiday Minnie and Goofy since they were on our shirts - saw minnie at DCA - Goofy when we went back over to MK
then walked onto Monster's Inc and went over to Animation Academy to see Turtle Talk and to do our drawings - got donald for the first time!
was then time to ride Soarin' over CA! got on really quick thanks to our FP and then it was time to head back over to MK to meet Cheryl and Rachel for lunch at Carnation Cafe...my favorite place for lunch at DLR!!
we had a bit of time so we were sitting in Town Square when my guy showed up!
had a yummy lunch with the girls and had to say our final good-byes...they were heading over to DCA and staying there for the rest of the day and we were staying in MK to see the fireworks!
we had a lot of fun with Cheryl and Rachel - always a blast to go with other Disney lovers!!!
after our good-byes we walked around the park somemore and took a few more holiday photos
went on Pirates and IASW again...rode the train around the park and just enjoyed the park and people watching!
wanted to get a bake potato for our dinner but they were cooking more so we decided to get hotdogs at Casey's and found the perfect bench in the hub to eat and people watch somemore!
we got to see the Castle lighting 3 times during our almost two hours, it would snow for a few minutes after wards
as the Hub started to get crowded for the "Believe...in Holiday Magic" fireworks....IMHO they are even better than Wishes...no flaming please...was pure magic for us!
fireworks next....
