monorail shot from the bus

The bus dropped us off at the TTC which was fine. It gave us a chance to ride the monorail a lot, which the girls love.

I took this with Memomin mind

Spinning Mickey topiary

Our transportation to MK

Some shots from the monorail.
I asked if we could ride up front. They don't let you anymore since the crash.

The GF is playing peek-a-boo

I would love to say here for my 20th anniv. in July

We probably won't go to Disney for it though. We went for the 15th and it stayed at BC it was crazy. It's a few says after the 4th of July so..

SM

Would we ride it this night?

We're ready to celebrate

Christmas decorations

Let me go upload some more pictures

Off site was o.k. I'm done staying off site though. Nothing like Disney resorts but like I said Mitch decided he NEEDED more space about a week before so it was too late to rent DVC points.

All the decorations were up on Main street
That included these guys

Amy noticed me snapping pictures and wanted in on one

Some people getting their picture taken with a nice christmas-y backround

First walk of the trip down main street

Agghh, the castle

Amy wanted in another picture

I have decided I would like to see these on streets by me

We stopped in the Emporium because there was things we needed
Those items were our free princess and the frog tickets; today was the last day for that and Emily's birthday button

I would like to be cuddling up with this blanket on this freezing cold night

We were headed here

to first pick up FPs for Buzz

and then go ride SM
It wasn't officially supposed to be opening until the next day but they were having a soft opening

It was having technical difficulties

We went over to TLS

30 minute wait
I finally gave up and we went to have dinner here

Coming up next: decisions, decisions

YAY!! You started your TR!!! I'm in!! Can't wait to read more!!

 

[Brave teacher]

What a great start! I followed you over from Becky's PTR. I am lookig forward to more. I've never stayed at the Doubletree, let alone offsite, so I am interested in the room situation. However, from the explanation of the next installment, it may not be a good one.

 

[Brave teacher]

WOW!!! I so missed there was a page 2. Let me go back to the top and see what happened.

 

[Brave teacher]

At least you got out of the room in a hurry, despite the bite. Can't wait to hear more!

 

[disney<333]

Welcome, Megan
Yes it was not a good one but it wasn't just the off site hotel all the Disney resorts have had it. Disney just keeps everything a secret.

I was glad we got out. I almost forgot to check for it.
More is coming later on today. It's a gorgeous day and I need to get out!
*******
Good morning everybody!
yesterday I had a lazy day and Dised for most of it. Mitch has to work today since he took off at Disney. The girls and I are going shopping with my mom and then later the 4 of us are having a late thanksgiving dinner with my mom.
It's a gorgeous day out but it's freezing. Well for us floridians anyway. 57
Have a good day.

Our dinner

After dinner we went to the bathroom to wash up and I came up with my battle plan for the night.

I wanted to go see the castle lighting show at 6:30 (it was 6:15 now) but of course no one wanted to come with me. Finally I got Emily to come.
Mitch and Amy went to see if Space mountain had re-opened up. It had and it had an hour wait. they waited
Waiting for our show to start

Disney's watch is always 10 minutes behind the res of the worlds'. So, naturally the show started about 15 minutes late.
Here come our friends

Everybody had a different idea of how the castle should be decorated but they couldn't decide

Finally the FG came out

Minnie came up with the idea that Cindy should get to decide how the castle should be decorated since it is her castle.
Everybody like that idea

Cindy decided on christmas lights. Surprise! Surprise!
The transformation process

Final product

If you ask me they did a great job and the it didn't take as long as you would think.

Coming up next: What would we do with out the birthday button?

 

[MeMom]

I took this with Memomin mind

I would love to say here for my 20th anniv. in July

Aww, thanks! I just love that little guy!

If not for your 20th, maybe the 25th?

I am looking so forward to seeing those pretty Magic Kingdom decorations again.

P.S. The food looks good!

After our show we went here to get to fantasyland

I love this topiary

We needed to find a first ride of the trip
Pooh had a long line

So did dumbo

I do however like this topiary

The carousal didn't pass in Emily's book as good enough for a first ride of the trip

PP had a 45 minute wait and I was willing to wait for it but Emily was not

So we decided on this

At the last minute before we got in line Emily changed her mind and we went on PP
When we were getting in line for PP a CM noticed Emily's birthday button and gave us 2 FPs we could use right then.

To get to Neverland you need to board a pirate ship

On our pirate ship

These girls were out tanning

Oh no!

Peter Pan saves the day.

Here's a hint to where we were going next

 

[disney<333]

Great start, can't wait for more!

I just posted an update

AWESOME pics! Christmas decorations!
You guys are lucky. SM was closed for us :'(

Thank you!
Yes, Christmas decorations
I'm sorry SM was closed for you, but there is always next trip right?

Aww, thanks! I just love that little guy!

If not for your 20th, maybe the 25th?

I am looking so forward to seeing those pretty Magic Kingdom decorations again.

P.S. The food looks good!

No Problem. I know you love that what-ever-species-he-belongs-to guy.
Maybe We're considering Maine for the 20th. I do want to go to Disney for the 20th and stay at the poly but it's just too hot and crowded that week.
The decorations are great!

 

[pooh'smate]

I love all the lights on the castle. So pretty.

 

[praisehisname]

Wow, FantasyLand was really crowded! I love the Castle lighting!
