No more snow had fallen - it was good news. We had our breakfast, packed and went to the Park. We expected it to be busier today as the weather had cleared up locally and we were now only 4 days from Christmas.

We stared off on Peter Pan and then POTC and then went to Indiana Jones – unfortunately there was a breakdown here and it was 10.40 before we left this ride.

We went into Fantasyland and onto Casey Jnr – my idea of a thrill ride! We had a ride round IASW and then decided it was time for our lunch – even though it was only 11.55. Well, all this Christmas jollification makes you hungry.

We had a lovely lunch in the Silver Spur, where the band was playing. I love their prawn cocktails they serve there, inside a giant tortilla. So nice.

We went over to Discoveryland then, got FPs for Buzz and went in to watch Captain Eo. You’ve got to love all those 80s hairdos and exercise clothes you see in the preview show.

We caught the train from Discoveryland and went all the way round, back past Discoveryland and to Main Street. We love to do this on our last day – like saying goodbye to the Park. Lots of people were going in to see Father Christmas.

It was time for our Buzz FPs so we went in for a last blast of those lasers. I didn’t write down who won (so that probably means it was Dtr).

We just had time to get in a ride on Snow White and one last one on IASW before going to the bottom of Main Street to watch the Parade near City Hall. I love how it gets dark in the middle of the parade at this time of year so by the time Father Christmas comes along, it is more or less night time.

We didn’t want to be too late back to the station, in case there were any problems. Lots of other people had the same idea and it was quite a long and crowded wait for the check-in to begin. We got talking to another friendly family – so much so that their young daughter wanted to swap seats so that we could all sit together! No chance of swapping seats on that train, however – it was packed to the rafters (if it ever had rafters). At long long last we were on our way back to the UK – after a lovely holiday in a really festive atmosphere. Still it was VERY good to be going home.
 
Glad you got home in time for Christmas it's terrible stressing about the journey home! When we were in Florida last year we did an indirect flight stopping at Newark and NY had been having terrible storms I worried the last couple of days of our trip due to this!

It does look beautiful in the snow though x
 
I love all the photos of DLP in the snow - but I'm very grateful its you hardy folk who are taking the photos (I hate the cold and although I love looking at snow, I don't like being out in it for longer than about 15 minutes :rotfl:).

eta - that Prawn Cocktail looks amazing!
 
Loved reading your TR and the photos of the snow, the park looks so beautiful.

It brought all those memories back of when i was stuck at CDG for 27 hours due to the snow a couple of years ago. Not a fun experience!
Before that trip I had always said "As long as i get there i don't care about getting home" but now i have completely changed my mind on that count.
 

It looks so beautiful :goodvibes

It's mad to think that today it was 8° and rained almost continously and a year ago to the day it looked liked that
 
Enjoyed reading that ..... seeing as you have all this time on your hands with no Disney trips to plan maybe you'd like to write up last summer's trippie??!!! ;) :goodvibes
