We were at the party tonight. We arrived at 5:00pm and Main St was already packed with people starting to wait for the parade. We took some photos along Main St. At 5:30pm, we *got in line for Santa and we were third in line. Santa came right out at 7pm, just as it started to snow on Main St. By the time we finished visiting with Santa, the line was 45 minutes to meet him.*
We headed up Main St to the hub. The street was already full of people sitting on the gutter for the 8:15pm parade. We watched the 7:45pm Celebrate the Season Show. It wasn't that busy as people were lining up for the parade. Loved the show, it's the same show as last year.*
Afterwards, we headed into Tomorrowland. We stopped by the Dance Party inside Cosmic Rays, called Club Tinsel. When we visited, Santa Goofy and Pluto were there. It was very busy. Later in the night, we saw Chip and Dale. We stayed for a little while, danced and took some photos, then headed to Storybook Circus. Donald, Daisy and Scrooge were meeting together at the entrance. We waited about 20 minutes for them. Scrooge is *in his normal blue coat, Donald was dressed as a lumberjack. Daisy wore her pink and purple dress with a purple scarf.*
We went into Fantasyland afterwards. The Hundred Acre Wood Gang were meeting but their line was already cut. We passed by Minnie (line was about 15 minutes when we walked past) and found Wendy meeting by the Castle Wall behind the Carousel. She usually meets near Peter Pans ride but that section of Fantasyland was closed prior and during the fireworks as the wind had been fairly bad. We met Wendy in under 10 minutes. She was wearing her winter blue outfit with a scarf.*
Mary Poppins was meeting next to the Carousel so we jumped in their line. We waited 15 minutes and met Mary Poppins and Bert in their Jolly Holiday outfits and 2 penguins.*
We remained in Fantasyland to watch Holiday Wishes (amazing) Straight after the fireworks, we got in line for Rapunzel, Flynn, Snow White and her Prince. We waited 10 minutes for them after we got out, the line was back up to 45 minutes. The longest I noticed the lines for both sides of the Princesses was 50 minutes for Rapunzels side, 45 for Cinderella. *We skipped Cinderella and Auroras line and walked to Frontierland. We stopped for cookies and cocoa and found a spot for the parade. We managed to get a front row spot at 10:15pm in Frontierland. We didn't go inside but as usual, Woody, Jessie and Bullseye were having a dance party inside the Diamond Horseshoe.*
Absolutely loved the parade. It's the same as last year, Daisy and Donald have a float instead of the carriage this year. Rabbit wasn't there tonight.*
Afterwards, we bought some
MVMCP pins from the location in Frontierland and then lined up for the Country Bears. Their line was small, we waited 5 minutes and there was a 10 minute wait when we left.*
We walked through Adventurelane, got more cocoa and cookies. Prince Ali was meeting with Abu but we would have gotten Genie and Jasmine if we had gotten in line so we skipped them. Tink and Periwinkle had a 15 minute wait at 11:15pm so we kept walking to Main Street.*
We took some more photos and Celebrate the Season had started so we watched the show again. Once it was finished, we headed back into Tomorrowland again. Stopped by Cosmic Rays at the Dance Party, Chip and Dale were there. The dance party was very quite this time, about 30 people were there. We took some photos and then left.*
We caught the end of the Tomorrowland Christmas show with Stitch, Mike and Buzz. Looked like a very cute show (will catch it on Monday) This show started at 11:45pm so the party was finished by the end of the show.*
Main St*was still very busy by the time we were walking out. Photo pass started packing up by 12:30am with only 2 photographers still out at 12:45am. One Balloon Seller was still out at 12:30am but she headed inside soon afterwards.*
Only the resort monorail was operational by the time we left at 12:45am,*which does stop at TTC.*
We had a wonderful time the party! We will be going back on Monday night too.
