Jen was on a mission to get some hot chocolate so at some point while in Fantasyland we stopped in Pinochios for some hot chocolate and cookies. FYI, they will give you as many as you want!

It was nice to just sit and talk for a bit. We all agreed that the hot chocolate was wonderful and the cookies were just ok. I thought they had a bit of a lemon taste. Afterwards the others took a potty break and I watched the dance party. Those stepsisters and stepmother are very funny. There was a bassett hound type dog that had been dressed up and draped with Christmas lights! (I'm guessing it was a service dog). He was so cute and the stepmother went crazy over him and took his leash and walked him around the dance floor. So funny. Then the girls came out and they started playing our song. The chicken dance! So, what's a crazy bunch of girls to do? We danced baby!
On our way out of Fantasyland we rode "It's a Small World"
I think we rode Haunted Mansion next.

It was such a great night it's a blur I guess. I'm sure Michelle and Sara can refresh my memory. We stopped and got some more hot chocolate before finding a spot for the fireworks. This time we opted for apples. We found a good spot in front of the castle and took some pictures.
Soon the fireworks started and they were awesome as usual.
After the fireworks we decided to ride Pirates before the late parade. We have plenty of time right? Well, we started getting nervous when the ride shut down for a bit. We were pretty much trapped in line though so we waited it out. Had a fun ride and booked in over to Frontierland. Guess what? PLENTY of spots left. Jen and I found a big flower pot to lean against, and we all plopped down for a much needed rest. This is when we started to get cold.
The parade started and I got giddy when the characters were waving at me! Then I looked over and realized that they were probably waving at the little kid next to me.

The whole time Jen insisted that she could se her breath. We thought she was just sleep deprived. The horse drawn carriage came by and Jen starts yelling, "Look! You can see the horses breath!" She was right. We could see our breath and it was pretty darn chilly. We didn't take many parade pics. We just sat back and enjoyed it.
Afterwards we laughed ourselves silly on Big Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain. No seriously, laughed ourselves into hysterics. Jen and I were laughing so hard getting out of the Space Mountain car that we barely could get out! It was such a great end to a fabulous night.
Unfortunately, it was midnight and time for us to turn back into pumpkins, or at least normal people! We wandered down Main Street, but we were almost too tired to shop so we only stopped briefly. Jen decided to take the bus back to Pop so we sadly said our goodbyes. It was so great having her with us, and she added to the wonderful memories of the night.
We hopped the monorail, hopped a tram and were to the car in a jiffy. Out of the parking lot in another. It was so great. We were probably back to our condo before we would have even been on a Disney bus back to a resort. I was super impressed. We put on our jammies and talked for a bit then hit the sack. We were exhausted and we had another big day planned.
Next up: Buckle up, we're in for a bumpy ride. Literally.
