The second day (Thursday) started with an early breakfast followed by a great Disney day.
As on the first day the real fun started when the darkness came.
We had dinner at the Hotel New York at the Park Side Diner. This was a great buffet and also not too expensive.
Friday started again with an early breakfast and followed by a very quite morning in the Disneyland Park. We saw something that we have never seen before. Peter Pan 20 minutes after opening without any queue.
Like on all the other days we had a second breakfast at the Salon Mickey. This was the low fat option.
And then in the evening we had the most magical experience ever. Usually when Tinkerbell is atomizing her Pixie Dust then it is taken far, far away by the wind. But this evening the wind was blowing from behind the Castle to Mainstreet and so the Pixie Dust was raining down on us for over a minute. I was thrilled about this more than magical moment.
Right after Candleabration we started to collect the Pixie Dust from the floor, and I used it some weeks later for my Christmas Cards this year. I attached a part of Pixie Dust to my cards and told everyone This is the most precious gift because it is real Pixie Dust!
After Fantillusion I made again some pictures of the park in the dark and afterwards we had a nice dinner at the NPBC Cape Cod.
Our last day (the Saturday) started again with an early breakfast and our first ride this day was Crush at the Studios. As they expected many quests they even opened the attractions at the Studios at 9:50 and so we were out of Crush at 9:59.
After another TOT ride we went into the DL park and there were already many, many people.
But therefore we had nice sunshine and I could take this picture.
In the evening we had dinner at Walts and we were surprised that Walts Gourmet Burger was not on the menu anymore. First Cinderellas Slipper disappeared and now Walts burger. But nevertheless we had a great meal with a very, very friendly CM. She reminded me a little bit of Kylie Minougue. We left her a nice tip and we were very happy that we even had a table with view to Mainstreet once again.
We ended our last day with our last Candleabration and Fantillusion for this season. It made me very sad that I wont see Candleabration again. This was a great show, especially during Christmas with the lighting ceremony.
After the parade we did POTC again (for which we had queued in the afternoon for more than 60 minutes!) and we had a look in some of the shops.
This was a really perfect Christmas Trip with no negative findings at all. And we even had good luck with the weather which is very important during the colder months.
And how could I ever forget the two highlights of the trip:
1. Standing for more that one minute in the Pixie Dust.
2. Having a room at the SL with Castle View.
