A Very Merry & Cold Christmas Party!

We headed to Orlando on Wednesday for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas. Katie and I and the two little girls went over early to hit one of the outlet malls (namely Vera Bradley and Carter's). The guys were held up a bit because they left their groups tickets at home and had to turn around and get them. While we were waiting, Katie and I walked around the parking lot many many times. The weather was chilly and I think we all wished we had dressed a little better. We walked on just about every ride and the kids got to do a lot. We didn't see too many characters around the park, but the parade and fireworks was really fun and all of the kids enjoyed it or were too tired to put up a fuss. Rachel was scared of the noise of the fireworks and in one of the pictures, you will see her pull her stroller canopy down in an attempt to shield herself from the fireworks. We were there from about 7:30 to midnight. Even though you pay a lot for a ticket and aren't there really long, I still thought it was great because there were no lines for rides.

While Matt and I waited with the three youngest who couldn't go on Space Mountain, Hannah and Rachel played with the camera and took turns taking pictures.


They served very yummy and unlimited amounts of hot chocolate, cookies, apple juice and apple slices. One of the places had a dance party going with Goofy and Pluto out there dancing too. Rachel loved it so much and only ran back to the table to quickly throw back some juice. She was too cute!
