Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

Dan and I were up and out of the room as soon as we woke up, didn't want to disturb everyone else. Went for a walk around the resort, it is always so pretty here in the morning.



This is the building that houses the food court.


Got back to the room and everyone else got ready, Riley tried for a few more rest minutes again this morning.



Baapa, Riley, and Kaleigh staying out of everyones way.


This morning we went to look at decorations at the other resorts. Took a bus to the Magic Kingdom and caught the monorail, first stop was the Contemporary where we walked through the shops and couldn't resist putting the hats on the kids.



The new way to carry Mickey.


Then it was on to the Polynesian and when we went outside it was so nice decided to walk to the Grand Floridian and this is the view as we approached.

The Wedding Chapel with the Contemporary in the distance.


Today in the Grand Floridian one of the pastry chefs was decorating gingerbread houses, she sure made it look easy.


Then back on the monorail to the Magic Kingdom where we caught a boat to Wilderness Lodge. Looked at all the decorations and decided it was time for lunch. Headed to the tiny food court and got everyone something to eat.

While we were there a cast member set up a cookie decorating area for the kids and Riley got to decorate one. He did it all by himself, must have remembered doing it at Sea World for the Spooktacular.


Oops got some on my arm and have to scrap it off.


Let's get those jimmys on.


Much easier to just dump them on.



That is so much fun.


Once we finished eating took a walk around Wilderness Lodge and tried to keep Kaleigh asleep as long as we could. Then it was back on a boat to go into the Magic Kingdom for the Very Merry Christmas Party.

The castle as we were walking towards Tomorrowland.


Riley trying to figure out just where we should go.


Riding the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, aka WEDway People Mover. Saw a beautiful sunset.


At the very end of the ride both the kids fell asleep, so we stayed on for another go round.



Eating dinner saw the castle all lit up.


Then it was down to ToonTown to get pictures with Mickey but first had to play on the playground.


Watching the parade in Frontierland.

The big tree at the end of Main Street.



Riley got a free lollipop from a cast member in the Ears Shop.


Saw the parade again but much closer so we could really see it. We headed back to the room after this.

It was a long day but we had a good time.
