Great photos ColinA.

Boat rides- the most relaxing way to get around WDW.

The greeters- always set the tone for our holiday.

LTT - Yum, yum and more yum. Love the homeliness of this restaurant although we prefer the lunch (menu ordering).

IASW - Great way to start! Those photos were enough to start me singing and put a smile on my face. I can see why this is your first ride tradition.

Chocolate Carousel - Did you look for the 13 Hidden Mickey's?

Chocolate Carousel - Did you look for the 13 Hidden Mickey's?

Yes, we found the 13.

Excellent. I can almost smell that carousel from here.

Last night was MVMCP. Caught the bus to MK and then the boat across to Fort Wilderness for a 4.30 early dinner at Trails End. Arrived back at MK at 6pm.

Wrist band supplied at the entrance.

We went on Peter Pan and Haunted Mansion.

We then located to the hub in front of the castle for the Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade and then followed in short time by Celebrate The Magic, the new show projected on the castle, then Holiday Wishes and Celebrate The Season on the castle stage.

Main Street looks fantastic with all the lights and snow.

Did you think MVMCP was worth going to?

MVMCP is worth every cent.

Lunch at Tony's in MK with Mark the server we have known for 10 years, took some of our own chocolate, one of the products we make and sell, think he had it eaten before we left, said he would then have no evidence for his wife to discover. Funny thing is we will see his wife at Be Our Guest on the 1st January and take her the same, will see what the result will be.

Caught the bus to Old Key West and the boat to DTD, well worth the trip.

Visited the Art of Animation and bought a new limited edition painting and Disney arranges air freight home. With the new DVC premium annual pass we get the 20% discount.

While DW went shopping for 30 minutes I visited the Ghirardelli icecream shop. The important purchase by DW was the new addition of Timon to our baby collection.

Caught the boat back to Old Key West for dinner at Olivias and surprised another regular server we have known for some time originally at Kouzzina. It was lots of fun and the food was excellent.

 

[ColinA]

Timon to be added in our spare bedroom.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Awww.....

I'm a sucker for reading up chocolate snaffles with old friends, food porn and soft cuddly toys....especially when they come with a shopping discount.

Thanks for sharing.

My favourite ride!
