Magic Kingdom Part 2!


After heading to the hotel (All-Star Sports Resort) for a nap, we went back to Magic Kingdom for the evening. We had a character meal and the Mickey very Merry Christmas Party and parade. We were quite tired despite taking a nap. Before our Winnie the Pooh character meal, we road the Buzz Lightyear ride.

Our character meal was at Crystal Palace with Winnie the Pooh and friends. As soon as the meal was over, we had to dash to get set for the parade. There was no room right on the street and it was freezing. I bought a blanket for Jack and Mickey gloves for myself. I think everyone who came to visit the WDW parks came to the Christmas party and parade. It was insanely crowded. The parade was great and Jack really enjoyed it.

Sam, Jack and Eyeore.



I love this picture of Piglet and Jack. He looks so shy and at least he's posing without Sam or myself. I know we took several pictures of Winnie the Pooh and Jack but they didn't show up in the developed pictures. Oh well.



















Sam and Jack all bundled, waiting on the parade to start. The castle in the background was decorated to look like it was covered in ice.



















These are the parade shots that turned out the best. It was dark and crowded (have I mentioned how cold it was?)
The Beast from "Beauty and the Beast".
















Toy Soldiers. And bless the one in the middle, he had just fell down and ate the pavement. He recovered nicely, but you know the other guys gave him a hard time later. I felt sorry for him.
















Jack was very excited to see Mickey Mouse, but I think that Santa Claus was actually a bigger hit.

















Jack was really tired after the parade and we decided against staying for the fireworks. Thankfully, we caught the first monorail back to the parking lot. What a stroke of luck. Our first day a complete success. Sam is now completely sold on all the fuss about Disney!
