Christmas in Disneyland Paris, part 3

 So after we left the Walt Disney Studios we headed back in to the main Disneyland Park. We stopped at guest services quickly before getting some hot dogs in Casey's Corner. We wanted to try go to Peter Pan while the parade was on in the hopes there would be less people there. Along the way I noticed the Winnie the Pooh meet and greet had some new decorations:

When got to Peter Pan Flight's we were disappointed to see alot of other people had the same idea as us of going during the parade. The queue was still 40 minutes long but we decided to suck it up and go regardless:

After that we headed back through Fantasyland and down Main Street USA:

We got a place in front of the Christmas tree for the lighting ceremony. The characters came out on a big platform and did a few dances to a couple of Christmas songs before getting a child out of the audience and deeming him the Sorcerer's Apprentice then with a little bit of Magic he lit up the Christmas tree:

After that since nothing else was scheduled on the park timetable until Dreams we headed back to Fantasyland. We went through the shops to avoid the crowd. I love Disney's attention to detail. This was on a pillar at the confectionery shop:

In Fantasyland we decided to go on Small World one more time. While we were in the queue we noticed laser beams going around the castle and suddenly the Christmas lights came on. This was not scheduled on the park timetable so we totally missed the lighting of the castle which I was disappointed about. Instead we sailed the happiest cruise on earth again:

After that we went back out to the castle hub again to get a spot for Dreams. I of course took pictures of Fantasyland along my way. The tea cups looked so cool in the dark:

We got a spot in front of the castle for Dreams this night and had a much better view of the fountains and everything going on at the base of the castle. 

After that we headed towards the exit for the final time for 2012.
