Then it was 7:00pm, and the pary officially started! We did the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain... the lines for the rides weren't bad at all. Because all the people were PACKED in the walkways.
We had to cling to each other's sleeves to stay together at some points. After Wishes was without a doubt the WORST crowded moment I've ever had in Disney. I'll save that story for telling with the Wishes pictures...
For now, let's think of happier things and view some parade pictures, shall we?
"Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade"
We watched the parade from Liberty Square, standing in a very small area behind the rope and in front of one of the shops. There was probably 5 rows of people in that tiny little space, but luckily everyone in front of us stayed seated, so we could stand and still see from the back.
I didn't have much luck with the parade pictures - when I put on the flash it wiped everything out, but when I left the flash off things were blurry and grainy.
But I'll just share what I have...
Alice & the Mad Hatter greeting our side of the parade route, while Peter & Wendy visit the other side.
The lovely couple.
Rollerskating snowflakes? I think that's what they were supposed to be...
