After lunch at the Electric Umbrella, we proceeded into the World Showcase. It began getting dark at this point, around 5:30, but we had fun nonetheless. We ran into Aladdin
in Morocco, who mentioned to us that his movie is being re-released in January, and we can’t wait for the DVD about 8 months after that. We found a very nice Christmas scene in the USA pavilion, where mommy and baby took a lovely picture.
It started getting quite cold for little Brandon, so after dinner at La Cantina de San Angel in the Mexico pavilion, we left to our hotel.
Magic Kingdom, our favorite!! We arrived in the park to find that filming for the televised Very Merry Christmas Parade, which airs on Christmas morning, was under way. After breakfast at the Main Street Bakery, we headed to Fantasyland, where Brandon rode “Snow White’s Scary Adventures” for the very first time…and he wasn’t scared! Next we went on The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh, which he slept through. Daddy rode Space Mountain, we went to visit Mickey in ToonTown, and rode The Haunted Mansion before going to the Crystal Palace for lunch with Pooh, Tigger, Piglet
and Eeyore. Mommy was brought a cupcake to celebrate her birthday, and Brandon took a bite
out of it!
After lunch, and a few pictures on Main Street, we saw the Very Merry Christmas Parade. Then mommy, being the daredevil that she is in 50-degree weather, rode Splash Mountain. Man, that was COLD!! After “It’s a Small World”, we met Chip & Dale
and Pluto
, and we called it a day.
Our last park was MGM, since it’s a shorter park, and we wanted to get home relatively early. After breakfast at the Starring Rolls Bakery, we met Lilo and Stitch, and rode The Great Movie Ride, which the little man slept through. Pinocchio and Geppetto
greeted us in front of Mann’s Chinese Theater after the ride. We saw the Playhouse Disney show, featuring all of Brandon’s favorite characters-Rolie Polie Olie, Stanley, Bear in the Big Blue House, and the Book of Pooh characters. Then mommy and daddy took turns riding The Tower of Terror and the Rock ‘N Roller Coaster. We lunched at the Sunset Ranch Market, and left MGM at 6 PM. Brandon and I slept the whole ride home, and by 9:30 we were back in our little casita.
What a wonderful weekend. We are so glad we decided to take this trip. He surely won’t remember this first (of hopefully many) trip to Disney World, but he truly enjoyed the sights and sounds of this wonderful place.
