We drove half the way on Friday evening, so it wasn't too long of a travelling day on Saturday. We arrived at Pop Century around 3:00, got checked in, and headed to the Magic Kingdom. The wait for a bus should have prepared us for it, but we had no idea the park would be so insane. Disney had filmed their Christmas parade that day and Hannah Montana was there, so the whole place was just packed with people. Within 5 minutes of being there,however, we ran into our good friends from Charlotte that we haven't seen in a few years. I'm not sure what the odds of that happening are, but I actually saw four families throughout the week that I know. By this point we were all hungry, so we went to Cosmic Ray's for dinner (it was a madhouse!). It took us about an hour to get our food and eat it. We were all a little overwhelmed and wondering what the rest of the week was going to be like. We walked out of the restaurant and spotted the teacup ride. We decided to do this one ride and then call it a day. As we were walking back out the castle had been lit up to look like it was covered in ice. It is beautiful anyway, but it is amazing with the lights.
On our way!

What days were you at Disney? We were there Nov28th-Dec5th. We had heard that it was a dead week but let me tell you it was packed. A lady we stood in line with from Orlando said that she comes every year that week and that she had NEVER seen it like it was. She said normally you can just walk on to anything. I guess the economic crisis doesn't bother the happiest place on earth.
We were there Dec 6-13. Our friends from Charlotte had been there the same week that you guys were and they said it was really busy. Sunday through Friday wasn't very crowded for us. Maybe the economy pushed people to go in Nov/Dec since packages are lower then. I hope you guys had fun!
