Celebrating the season in the house of the mouse!

Florida 2011, Day 13, part 3

So the next show was the Celebrate the Season show.

 

 

 

After the show we waited a few mins for the crowd to move and I took more pics of the pretty castle since this was going to be our last night in the Magic Kingdom:

Next was the second Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas parade. I had planned to go to the second one because everyone says on the Disney boards that the second parade is always quieter yeah well apparently everyone else had planned to go to the second parade as well. It was jam packed. There was no getting near the front of the crowd for a good view so we towards Frontierland, stopping to take a few more castle pics along the way:

Then just past the bridge from the hub towards Liberty square I spotted a gap in the crowd and chairs so I ducked under the rope and there I stayed. I then took many pictures of the parade:

 

 

 

 

After the parade we slowly made our way across the hub towards Tomorrowland and straight to Cosmic Rays to check out the dance party. This one was a lot cooler than the one in Diamond Horseshoe. It was more like a disco than a let’s play cupid’s shuffle and everyone copy the moves type of dancing. If I could only go to one I would definitely choose the dance party at Cosmic Rays over Diamond Horseshoe. The characters were out dancing with the guests. There was one group of teenagers I was watching and Goofy was with them until they left. The characters were switching between Santa Goofy, Pluto and Chip and Dale:

 

 

There was a CM going around dressed as some sort of Christmas elf and she was handing out mini candy canes to kids. Dale however took the box and went outside to try get people to come to the party. Then he came back in and stood at the door for a while then just gave up and started giving everyone candy canes:

Mother got food while she was there as well:  

After that we went to the Totally Tomorrowland Christmas show again because the first day we saw it the video camera ran out of battery right before the “big finale” so I wanted to get the finale on video:

 

 

Love Santa Stitch:

After that the party was over so we headed slowly towards the exit. Of course taking pictures along the way. One last shiny castle picture:

One last main street at night time picture:

Near the exit this dude was on the ground with See ya real soon beside him:

Cool looking tree near the exit as well:

And then we had no other choice but to leave the park *cries*

We headed for a very busy bus stop and there was a CM called Nick loading people on to the buses and amusing everyone at the same time. When the bus arrived he shouted at us all to get on the bus and go to our rooms like you’d tell a child to go to their room when they’ve been bold. Once back at POP we did indeed head to our room and go straight to bed.
