Great parade pics. Love Lady Tremaine leaning on the trash can!!!

Thank you! I know, she's so great!!

Great updates and pics.

Loved the parade pics.

Thanks!

Great pictures. I will kinda miss Celebrate A Dream Come True, but everyone is saying Festival of Fantasy is incredible. I have been avoiding pics and videos but gah, can't wait to see it!

Me too... and I have seen the video coverage that the Dis put up. My mom wants to stay away from it too until she can see it in person. I do have to say that I was BLOWN AWAY. Ah-mazing! I can't wait to see it in real life!!!!!

Ahh I love all the Christmas decorations! I could look at MK Christmas stuff all day long.
Great parade pictures! I was a little sad to see that parade go, but the Festival of Fantasy looks really, really incredible!

All of your pics of the park decorated for Christmas make me miss going in December. It's so pretty!

And you got some really great shots during the parade!

Castle Love <3
January 1, 2014​

FIRST OFF. I want to make a HUGE, GINORMOUS apology to you all. I have been so incredibly busy with life that this TR has taken the back seat. First of all, I am finishing up my last semester as a junior in college. I am preparing for certification exams on top of my school work and practicum experiences in the classroom. The good thing is, I LOVE working with my third graders. They are GREAT kids. I’m very lucky to have the opportunity to work with them and my coordinating teacher is amazing too. I also still have my job at the Gap Outlet which takes up about 20 of my hours each week, and I recently celebrated my 21st birthday on the 7th of April. I have been so incredibly busy, and I’m actually writing this as I’m waiting for my next class to start because I know I won’t have time after! My computer has also been giving me trouble in loading Internet pages which makes it SO FRUSTRATING- enough to slam the laptop shut and give up for the night. I’m not sure what the problem is because I can be connected to the Internet on every other device just fine, but my laptop has trouble, and “cannot view the webpage.” Also, the boards have been giving me trouble when trying to move from page to page, so it takes me WAY longer than it should to do a post. However, I have the time, and I am ready to do my next installment! Be prepared because it’s a big one!

We left off after viewing the parade, and we started walking toward the castle.





CAN’T GET ENOUGH!

Hi there!!!

Don't apologize! School is more important than the DisBoards Hope goes well with finals. The semester should be almost finished, right?!


And Happy, Happy Birthday!!!! 21 and legal Hope you had a fantastic day!


As always, love your shots of WDW! Christmas is such a beautiful time of year at the World. Too bad there are masses of people that think the same thing

Journey Under the Sea
January 1, 2014​

We left Enchanted Tales, and reveled in the amazingness that is Belle’s “little town” and its Christmas decorations. *Sigh.* Can’t I just live here??

Our next stop was to ride Journey of the Little Mermaid at 4:45pm with one of our extra FP+ we received from the delayed check in process.

I went a little picture crazy in this ride..... be prepared!

Christmas on Main Street
January 1, 2014​

We walked through Storybook Circus and into Tomorrowland to ride the TTA around 5:15pm.

Dance partay!

Then it was time to use our Space Mountain FP+s at 5:30pm. It was amazing, as always!

It was just around dusk, and the castle lights were already lit, and Main Street looked AMAZING. It was my first time seeing it like this in YEARS, so I wanted to spend a significant amount of time on Main Street taking pictures and just letting the atmosphere soak in.

Time to Kill Before Dinner
January 1, 2014​

We went into Adventureland to ride Pirates. It was about a 30 minute wait, but it was amazing as always!

Then we went over to Pecos Bills for a snack of French fries because it was a while still until dinner.

I love the Christmas themed cups!!

We walked over and watched Splash for a bit and soaked in the atmosphere.

We walked through Frontierland to use the bathroom and then continued into Fantasyland after a rest on the stones.

We waited for It’s a Small World for 20 minutes and then rode the Happiest Cruise that ever sailed.

Be Our Guest Dinner part I
January 1, 2014​

Around 8pm we went over to Be Our Guest to check in for dinner. We waited on the bridge for a while for our buzzer to go off.

We were seated at 8:35pm. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!

Mom ordered the salad trio for her appetizer.

I got the French onion soup because it’s AMAZING.

For our entrée’s, mom got the steak (which is my favorite). It’s soooooooo yummy!!!!

I got the provincial chicken which was also delicious! Everything here is SO GOOD!!

Mom got the chocolate cream puff!

And I got the strawberry cupcake which is my favorite!!
