All of the dark rides in Fantasyland - Peter Pan + Roger Rabbit's Toon Spin + Winnie the Pooh are way more frightening than the Haunted Mansion or the drop on the Tower of Terror.
Whittier High School's acapella group was performing at the Carnation Plaza Gardens. I decided to to sit and stay for a bit when they sang "Carol of the Bells"-- my favorite xmas song this year.
Then, I went to see if I could be in one of Tiana's Showboat Jubilees. Since I was only a party of one, I got to be the 20th member of the 11:30 show that was about to start.
First, you wave a handkerchief. During the chorus, you wave it up and down. "Going down the bayou.."
Next, you wave giant music notes.
Last, you put on yellow robes and play tambourines. I got to go on the second level for this part.
The songs were fun. It makes me want to watch the movie.
Once we were past the Sailing Ship Columbia, we were in the clear. They collect the robes and we get a meet & greet with Tiana (princess), Naveen (frog), and Louis (alligator).
I don't often see princes in the park, so of course I had to get a picture with just him! He looks like Mark Ballas from Dancing with the Stars.
After everything, they gave us cool beads for participating. Holler! Those are limited, yo!
Next, I went to Tom Sawyer's Island. I observed the Fantasmic! stage and walked around every speck of the island. I walk faster than Mark Twain's Riverboat. A CM greeted me and said I did a good job in the show =] I asked if there were any maps of the island, but she told me they don't make them anymore =/
Dead Man's Grotto is really cool. There are lots of scary tricks. I can't wait to trick others ;]
I tried for the Lilly Belle. They didn't say NO right away this time. But I think I'd like to not experience it alone. So next time. I hope I haven't missed my opportunity.
On to DCA. I went to the Muppets Show and then watched Drawn to the Magic. It's cute with the live performances of classic songs. I was really excited when the characters they drew came to life! I got to meet the Cinderella that left me on my birthday.
The 2010 merchandise had hit shelves.
Grace and her friends came just in time for the Holiday Parade. We sat on the sidewalk in front of the Main Street Railroad station. Really good seats! Then, we went to the Tiki Room.
April met me outside the Tiki Room, and she brought me McDonalds. We hit up Haunted Mansion Holiday, Indiana Jones, Pirates, got keychains, and then went to watch the fireworks.
Fantasmic! had been cancelled. Sad day!
Also sad: the passing of Roy Disney. My mom texted me the news, and I was shocked. He's always been a part of the Disney company that I have known. Is he the last male Disney? Will the name die now? He will be missed.
