YES, We really are going to Disney AGAIN!!!!

[MrsHeg]

We had tickets for that night's Christmas Party so we decided to head back to the resort and take a long break, on our way out we caught the end of the castle show,

We spent the afternoon by the pool relaxing as I was doing laundry, the weather was perfect. Watching the kids playing I know that our DGS will love it when we bring him in May, a pool, pizza, an arcade and ice cream, what more can a six year old boy ask for?

Grumpy called to see how his Mom was doing and they had gone out for lunch, so I guess all is well.

We stopped at the Haunted Mansion on our way, we walked right in to the entry way and admired some of the portraits,

And were greeted by our Lovely Hostess,

I love trying to find things that we've never notice before eah time we ride this one.

You have me stumped, Debbie! Where is this???

You have me stumped, Debbie! Where is this???

It doesn't look familiar to me either, Elin.

Sounds like a wonderful trip, Debbie. I'm still wondering what record you broke?

It just occurred to me that it is the "new" bride at HM. I just was thinking it was near the beginning, but that was my mistake, I think!

It is the new bride, she is just after all the portraits with the disappearing grooms.

Dinner tonight was at 1900 Park Fare,

The Happy Couple:

Grumpy was happy to take a picture with the Princess:

Drizella was my favorite character:

We chose Park Fare because we had never been there, I have to say that for us it really doesn't fit the bill. For a buffet there wasn't that great of a selection, we didn't hate it, but we probably won't go back.

 

[MrsHeg]

After dinner it was off to the party,

Mickey and Minnie were discussing how to decorate the castle,

 

[MrsHeg]

And finally, the reason we went to the party, isn't it breathtaking?

And here is a side view,

 

[MrsHeg]

We headed over to see Jack Sparrow in Pirates, there was a small line but it only took aobut 10 minutes.

 

[tinknme]

Love this picture!

 

[MrsHeg]

We headed over to "The Mountains" and enjoyed the very low lines, we were able to ride a second time on both without getting off.

It was about ten minutes until time for the first parade so we went and found a viewing spot, it was pretty good until the people in front decided it was necessary to stand up,

I thought this float should have had more lighting, it was pretty hard to see from a distance.

 

[MrsHeg]

Mickey and Minnie started things off with a Christmas tree, and in true Disney fashion you could smell pine as the float went by,

Donald and Daisy were together on a sleigh ride,

 

[MrsHeg]

I think this was my favorite,

 

[MrsHeg]

Santa brought up the rear of the parade,

And then it was time to make our way over to the castle for Holiday Wishes,

 

[MrsHeg]

Why is it impossible to stand in front of the castle without taking pictures?
Here's a closeup of where Tink takes off,

And another one just because,

 

[MrsHeg]

She's blurry but I did manage to catch Tink in flight,

 

[MrsHeg]

Santa's Hat,

Christmas Tree,

 

[MrsHeg]

Toyland,

After Wishes we went to Philharmagic and a few other rides, had some apple slices instead of cookies, and made our way out of the park, here's the front all lit up,

Up next, it's time to go to Apricot!

 

[my3princes]

Love this picture!

I love them all. Now Chris and I want to go again at Christmas time.

I love the side view of the Castle with the reflection in the water
