Oh the Places We Go, The People We See ...Dream Trip Report

[jenseib]

Chip and Dale were so cute. They were having a snowball fight.

[jenseib]

Who doesn’t love the Dwarves?

[jenseib]

I couldn’t get Snow to look my way. She was too busy gazing into the eyes of the Prince.

[jenseib]

The Ponies were so cute.

Cindy gave me a big smile and wave though.

[jenseib]

Here it is!!!!! That float that has been around for AT LEAST 15 years. I know it was there in the mid 90’s when I took my older two. They just keep adding a little something to it to make it look different. Sorry Disney…it’s not working, we all know it’s that same float…..and it needs to GO!!!!

They say Spectro isn’t coming back because the floats are falling apart ….why can’t this one fall apart too?

[jenseib]

One thing I hate about this float is it is not photographer friendly. Those Spires seem to always be in the way to catch a face in a shot.

Gotta Love Goofy!

I noticed these girls were all wearing wigs …and that got me thinking. Do they have a wig to match their natural hair color, or do they get any old color to wear?

And again …How cute are these Gingerbread guys?

[jenseib]

They are flat on the back side from laying on the pan.

[jenseib]

Clarabelle is so much fun.

I am not sure why he has Nemo in his pocket?

[jenseib]

The toys are coming!!

I think Woody is telling us it’s past our bedtime.

[jenseib]

And the best part of the whole parade ….the Toy Soldiers. These guys are amazing.

I would go back to the party just to see them alone.

[jenseib]

Have you ever seen this on Youtube. I just love this video of the toy soldier auditioning to be in the parade. If you get a chance, watch it. It’s so neat.

On with the parade.

[jenseib]

The reindeers were pretty cool too.

Santa!!!!!!

[jenseib]

Hey Santa! I want a trip to Disney for Christmas!!!

That was such an awesome parade. I really hope to get back there for the Holidays to see this again someday. I had hoped that maybe we could squeeze in a small trip this year, but I don’t think it’s going to work out for that to happen.

You found him!

[Host Mick]

I've never known anyone to have it in for a parade float, well not since Animal House anyway.

[Gardeneroflove]

You found him!

 

LMOA! I laughed way louder than I should have...

[jenseib]

You found him!

 

LOL!!!! :D

HeeHee! ;)

After the parade we decided to get some hot chocolate and cookies. I think we got snickerdoodles. We sat down over near Aloha Isle and just relaxed for a while.

 

 

Either Amanda (my sister) called me or I noticed a missed call from her and called her back at that point. I had totally forgotten, but remember, she sent an email to Geoff while on the cruise saying I had a flat tire. UGH. So she asked me what to do about it. She was going to have AAA change it. There is a care center right around the corner from her house and I think she was going to drive it over there. She had been busy and hadn’t had time to do anything about it and that was ok, as I wasn’t due home for a few more days.

 

After nibbling on our cookies ….we were really still really full from our 2 dinners, so we didn’t eat much …..we got up and started moving again. We saw this little band playing music.

 

 

 

 

I am not sure if we rode anything or not, but we did go and find Uncle Scrooge.

 

 

This was another character I kind of made Claire meet for me. She wasn’t too thrilled, but I made a big deal about him being rare and she was more agreeable then.

 

[jenseib]

We wandered around a bit more, and again, I don’t remember if we rode anything or not. If we did, I didn’t take any pictures. I know we sat down and just stared at the castle a few times. We just found this to be our happy place and we never wanted to leave. We probably also called Skip at some point in time.

We did get another photopass picture.

[jenseib]

Honestly, I have never seen the park more beautiful than this night. The decorations and lights are just fabulous.

Sadly it was getting close to midnight and time to head back to AoA.

LOOK!!!!! It’s snowing!!!!

This just made it feel even more magical.

[jenseib]

If I could have, I would’ve tried to get tickets for another party night. It just felt so magical, but sadly our trip was coming closer to an end and the next party would be held after we have left.

I am always trying to get a balloon shot, but never happy with them.

[jenseib]

Sigh!!!!!!!! Time to leave.

We headed out to the bus stop where I am sure we had to wait for a bus, but I don’t remember it being too bad.

We were pretty darn tired and got ready for bed. We had one more full day left and yet time seemed to be going so fast. We had so much more we wanted to do.

I had met up with Jennifer from my Facebook group this morning while waiting in line for the bus to AK. It was so funny that she recognized Claire and her dress. It was nice to meet her.

Oh the People We See!

We went to our very first Christmas party this evening and I really hope I can get to many more in the future.

Oh the Places We go!

Nov. 13, 2012, Tuesday ~ Day 13

Our last full day. How depressing! This trip just seemed to go so fast (even though I have been working the report for 10 months now).

I don’t remember how early I woke, but I am sure I was up by 7. I think I took a quick walk around the pool after I showered and let Claire sleep a little longer. I didn’t bring the camera with me for some reason though.

At some point in time I had to get Claire going. She is just not a morning person and the long trip was taking its toll …on both of us, as I noticed my eyes were getting more saggy and puffy each day …..but we had 1 more day of fun to be had.

While she got ready I took a few pictures around the room.

This was the bathroom tile.

The shower curtain. I think Claire was actually taking a shower then and was worried I was going to get her in the picture. LOL
