December 16th: Running Around the MK is my Favorite
Hello everyone!! Good lord I am getting really bad at keeping up with this...But today I'm going to do a pretty big update since I'm avoiding writing my final senior research project paper....whoops. It's been in the low 20's at school all week and I seriously wish I was at Disney World right now. So I'm wearing my Minnie ears and have my Princess Pandora station cranked up (yes my roommates are probably judging me).
Anyways, let's continue!
So after we finished up our dinner we decided to go back to Pirates to see if it was open, and it was!! We hopped in line and were very excited to finally have some good luck.
After about 10 minutes of waiting and being suuuuuper close to getting in the boat....the dreaded announcement came on...And it was closed. We were both very very disappointed.
We wanted to go on something before all the party shows started so we headed over to the People Mover which was open and running. Thank goodness!
And of course I had to snap some pictures!
These pictures don't even do it justice...It is so beautiful at Christmas.
So we got on the People Mover with no wait!
Paging mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow.
One of the main reasons we wanted to ride the People Mover was to check out if Space Mountain had finally opened...it was not..
It was getting close to Celebrate the Season show so we headed to find a good spot. They were checking wrist bands at this point to kick out the people who weren't attending the party.
We did have to do some shimming around strollers and people to get a standing spot. This was almost 20 minutes before the show started. We did get an ok viewing spot, and then the children started going up on parents shoulders....That is probably one of my biggest pet peeves at the parks. I'm 5'3, and when a dad put their toddler on their shoulder it is absolutely impossible for me or anyone to see. Anyways, done with that rant. So we did have to move spots a few times because it was very difficult to see.
I loved Celebrate the Seasons! It was so cute and I'm sorry these pictures aren't the best but I loved it.
So after Celebrate the Seasons we waited in the same place to watch Frozen Holiday Wish.
I do wish that the Fairy Godmother was lighting the castle, but Elsa did a great job too.
Next up on our list of things we wanted to was the Jingle Cruise.
I love Jungle Cruise so much, and mix Christmas into it and it makes it even better!! It helps when you have a really great skipper too. Oh my goodness, she was so fantastic.
I love our jingle cruise skipper.
After Jingle Cruise we went back over to Pirates and it was finally up and running. We hardly had to wait, maybe 10 minutes tops.
The park was busy, but it didn't feel super busy. The party was sold out, but the crowds were average. The weather, however, was pretty cold. I was pretty chilly in my long sleeve shirt.
After Pirates we cut through the shortcut that connects Adventureland to Liberty Square, I'm sure there's a name for that breezeway...But I was on the hunt for a MVMCP t-shirt and Eli wanted a Mickey Santa hat, because duh it's Christmas.
We bought our merchandise at Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe and then headed back over to Main Street, you know cutting through all the back ways behind the shop and came out at Casey's and then proceeded to cut through all of the stores on Main Street. We do that a lot...
Okay, check back soon to hear about the rest of our night at MVMCP and to see LOTS of firework pictures.
