The ABCs of a Very Merry Christmastime Land and Sea Adventure- Y is for: Yuletide Yo-ho’s and Other Yammerings (8/18)

[vamassey1]

2-minute bus waits are generally not my kind of luck, but today, the Christmas blessings rained down on this intrepid traveler and I was on my way from DHS to the Most Magical Kingdom in no time.

Excellent Bus Luck!

And... am I the only one who adores the Main Street window displays?)

I love them too.

I also experienced something I’ve never heard before; the Liberty Belle and the train had a hilarious whistle war that lasted at least a full minute. Back and forth they blew with different sequences. Outstanding memory, until a wave of melancholy washed over me as I realized that will never happen again.

So very cool and sad too.

It'd been years… maybe 10?

It's been awhile for me too, but not that long. I think the last time I did it was on a solo trip.

It’s now 3:50 and you would have found Steppe on the Liberty Belle for her last spin around the Rivers of America ever. It’s ok, you’re allowed to cry a little too. Good-bye little Indian village, good-bye burning settler’s cabin, good-bye animals, and thieves’ hideout. Good-bye crusty old friend with your faithful dog and little shack on the river. May you all RIP in a dusty props warehouse somewhere; May you someday find your way back to another version of the Backlot Tour.

I'm going to miss this too.

Besides, COP is never a bad way to spend 21 minutes.

Totally Agree.

Everything about this place is spot-on and one of the most heavily themed places in all of Disney.

One of our favorite spots. Dennis would eat here every trip if I let him.

Mess Hall Duck Fried Rice: Five Spice-glazed Leg, Duck Fried Rice, Cucumber Salad, and Fresno Peppers- $31

I've never had this but it looks delish.
