How fantastic to have MK so empty and to ride everything as many times as you want. We've been in MK when it's been very empty too but it was in the middle of hurricane Faye so not quite so nice
What your DD said on the Indy Cars was so sweet
Kids are so funny!I'm working on getting caught up!
Boy you were behind!
She looks adorable!
Didn't the CM do an awesome job! So much talent!
We weren't really that impressed, either. Someday I'd like to give it another try, but there are so many other places to try first!
I agree. I have lots of other places I want to try before going back to FTB.
Oh no! Poor thing!
Yes. She still tells people about that incident and it has been 2 months ago!
One wrong move, and he'd be rolling off the edge!
I thought the same thing! But cats are so nimble. He'd probably catch himself before he hit the ground.
Going back to catch up on the rest!
She looks so cute!
It was a very precious moment. I'm so glad the CM didn't act like I was nut for having her first hair cut at five!
That's a lot of goop! How hard was it to wash out?
Yes, they pile it on. But it came out really easily. I wouldn't want to deal with it everyday, but it was fun for one day while at MK. It just stays wet a long time so you have to be careful not to smear it.
Love it!
I was pleased with most of her purchases on this trip. I like practical things that can be used and the umbrella is so pretty.
You can have it!
I would have to agree with your DH, unless you're riding at night.
I loved all your pictures from the show; you got some good ones!
I can't believe how empty MK was! I've never seen the Speedway look so deserted!
We love that show. It is so cute and has so many characters in it.
Yep, an empty MK is a beautiful thing.
What a beautiful picture!
That castle is gorgeous no matter what, but when you add the Christmas touches, it is just awesome!
Do it! That would be awesome!
That was a great update. I loved that walk down Main Street. We went to the party that night so didn't go to MK during the day (I used all the touring guides theory to stay away on party nights - boy were they wrong). The rain started promplty at 7:00 PM when the party started.
I am going to try to post this picture of Abby right after we were in Tink's Treasure on Monday (after those guys sang).
Well, it worked, but sorry so big
It's 40", we are tall people and he was just at 40" at 2 years and 10 months old when we were there. I'll have to try to hold my DH off with the haircut. He thinks she needs one now! She barely has any hair at all yet!
You have me rethinking our next trip. I was thinking the week AFTER Thanksgiving before the December crowds arrive, but now I'm thinking earlier in November might be better. Hmmm.....
Love all the pictures! They are great! The ones with Minnie with her eyes closed are a little creepy though. It's like she has Hello Kitty eyes or something!
Keep it comin'!
I do hate it when I catch the characters with their eyes closed!
I'm glad you are coming along for the ride!
AACK! I got so far behind but I caught up. I am not sure why my principal expects me to be prepared...doesn't he realize it impacts my DIS/Disney time?? Geesh.
Anywho, after a long and stressful week, THANK YOU for those wonderful pictures! They really brightened my night and now I can have Disney dreams and tomorrow is Friday!
I can't believe how lucky you were on your MK day!! Even on our two January trips we had more folks than that!
I'm gonna show my DD the pictures of your DD's hair. She did BBB in June so we won't be doing that again but my DS is doing the pirate thing this year (it wasn't open yet when we were there in the summer) so I am going to see if she'd be interested in that. At $14 it's a real bargain! Your DD is just as cute as a button!!
Hooray for Friday!!!!!!!!!!! I did tip her though just because she did a great job and she made my day! 
Oh, so jealous you got to see the carolers in MK. We had seen video of them but never saw them in photos. Great pics. Love the face paint.
I was laughing at how you told the story! Can't wait for more!
She THINKS she wants to ride Dinosaur. I want to see how that one ends!
I'm just joining in on your TR and loving it. Your DD is a little darling! We were at WDW the week before Thanksgiving, overlapping a lot of your days!!! I also went with the theory that MK might be quiet on the day of a party, and boy, were we right!!! Walked on to everything! What a great time of year to go, huh??!!!!
Sorry for your dinosaur experience! I sorta feel bad for your DH, I know he MUST feel guilty for talking his ladies into riding that! I enjoy it myself, but I do scream in actual terror at least a couple times whenever I ride it -- and my DD (a little older than yours, but a serious ride chicken) would be scarred for life if she rode that thing!
Lots of great firsts here!! Amazing how much there is to see and do! I am on the DISboards pretty much every day and I didn't even know about the Pirate and Pals Fireworks Cruise! Don't know how I missed it, but it looks AWESOME!!!!
Sorry so long, but I'm totally into this TR!
I'm so glad you are enjoying the TR! You go ahead and post away as much as you want to! That's why we all DIS, to chat with other Disney addicts. 
It's kind of like a support group, don't you think? 
If word gets out, our favorite time of year will be ruined! 
Poor baby just has no idea what torment you have planned for her!
I missed an update! Back to catch up. Don't you just love an empty Magic Kingdom? That is definitely the way to do it! I can't imagine standing in line for hours to ride anything; I am just not that patient. LOL!
November has been my favorite time to go too. We tried early December this time and it was just not as great as November. Oh well, live and learn.
It looks like you got a lot done with little waiting. Isn't Monsters Inc the funniest show? I just adore it!
He returned in a few minutes quite disgruntled because he couldn't find anything "manly" to eat like a giant turkey leg or a rack of ribs! Yeah, I don't get it either. 
Look at the queue in the background! There is no one in it!
Then he said, "Yeah, my parents are really proud...................................................................................... of my brother!" He was a nut!
But sure enough, we walked straight through and were immediately seated on the wildest train in the West!
She just kept asking, "Can't we ride it again, Mama?" Poor baby. I don't blame her. I wanted to stay too, but our dinner was prepaid and nonrefundable, and no way was DH doing anything else until he got some sort of animal product in his belly! 
I sure did! 
99.9% of the reviews I have read here on the DIS for HDDR have been totally positive. People LOVE this show. So I fully realize that I am the odd ball here, but I didn't really care much for it. Please don't throw rocks and stones at me! Everyone is entitled to an opinion ya know. I just thought it was long and not all that funny. Sorry, for those of you who are fans. DD had a fantastic time, but DH pretty much agreed with me. Even though the food was very good, I am almost positive that we would not go back. We still had a good time, it just wasn't really our thing. But don't let my opinion keep you from trying it if you've never gone. Everyone has different taste and so, so many people love it. Maybe we are just weird.
