Here are some pictures of the carousel and some of the surrounding confections . . . it smelled so good! I think it is cool they use 2008 pieces of gingerbread! (See the ingredients)

[mickeysgirlz]

It was a BEAUTIFUL day . . . low 70's and sunny! The girls wanted to take off their shoes and play in the sandy beach. So we hung around there for awhile, chasing the seagals and swinging on the swings . . . it was really relaxing!

One day I want to stay at the Beach Club . . . it's so beautiful there!

That carousel looks SO yummy. I wish I could eat it all.
I am starving by the way.
I say this every TR but your girls are BOTH beautiful but I seriously want to take the little one home with me. She is just TOO cute and always looks so thrilled to be a Disney.

Jen, I am LOVING this report!!!!! Your girls are beautiful. And it seems that going so much makes them really stop and smell the roses, too! My kids would NEVER sit in one spot for 2 hours to see fireworks. NO. MATTER.WHAT. ha!!!!!!!!

I went this year for Thanksgiving and I am SURE one of these years I will be there Christmas week.

I can't wait to hear more!!!!

Well . . . they were entertained for two hours. Holiday show, Spectro and then the fireworks . . . plus popcorn and hot chocolate. We also struck up a conversation with folks around us . . . and the CMs hand out hula hoops for the kids to play with. Gotta love Disney, they know how to keep a crowd entertained and happy!

Thanks for all your kind words too (you too Bella) My kids truly Disney! Sometimes I worry, cuz if something goes wrong in DD9s life, she always says "I wish I was in Disney!" I think it's just a happy place for all of us. No work, No stress . . . JUST ALL PLAY!!

[mickeysgirlz]

We only had the time to do a few things . . . since the girls wanted to go in the pool and at night we were planning on going to Chip and Dale's sing along at Ft. Wilderness Camp Grounds!

We headed to France to see if we could find Marie there . . . nope . . . but we did meet Aurora!

Then we watched this street performer. He was very fun to watch . . . stop to watch if you have the time. He was right outside the French restaurant

[mickeysgirlz]

We then decided it was time to leave, but on the way out we hit the Universe of Energy. The last few trips it was broken down and we were unable to see it.

DD9 is a HUGE Dino fan . . . I think I was 12 years old the last time I was on this ride. I do remember it being SO MUCH more. The kids enjoyed it and we all got squirted by the dino that pops out of the water! He got me RIGHT IN THE EAR!!

We headed back to the entrance of the park and were back at the resort and in the pool by 3pm. I let the girls play until 5:30pm and then we headed in to get showered and dress to go over to Ft. Wilderness and meet our friends. They were renting a cabin. We were so excited to see them!!

On the way pass Germany we saw . . . DOPEY! He was waiting for the next guest but I yelled his name and he posed for me!

[mickeysgirlz]

Here are some pictures of the girls enjoying the pool and the slide. They love CSR pool and play area. I like the yummy sangria's I can get at the pool side bar!

My little Mermaid (or poser!)

[mickeysgirlz]

On the boat ride over, I texted Wish to see if she knew of a counter service in Ft. Wilderness. She said there was none, but to try and go to Trails End. Well, I called for a reservation, but they only had seating after 9pm.

SO I tried the walk up . . . no luck, but I was told I could do take out for pizza. We got the pizza and some drinks and headed to the bus stop. We were at the sing-a-long in no time. The movie was Little Mermaid, and we sat on the bench eating our pizza and watching the show.

My friends and I had both called to see what time the Chip and Dale sing-a-long was and we were told 7:30pm? NOT—Chip and Dale show up at 7pm . . . so we missed them, but we did enjoy the movie and the s'mores!

NOTE: If you go, bring your own marshmallows, grahams and chocolate. The KIT cost me $11 at the campfire . . . plus .75¢ per each roasting stick.

Anyway, the kids still had fun, and I would do it again . . . just plan it better next time!

Roasting Marshmallows at the Campfire

[mickeysgirlz]

Let me tell you about the lights!!

Each site was decorated in the most AMAZING lights! Hundreds of them! It was worth going just to see that. My DDs were impressed!

We met my friend at her cabin . . . it was ADORABLE! But way smaller then the pictures online make it out to be.

We helped her decorate her site with lights and her pop up tree she brought! It was a lot of FUN!

We then headed back to the bus and then the boat back to MK.

We were going to go into MK to hit some rides, but DD9 had left her jacket at the cabin and it was SO COLD . . . the next day was only going to be a high of 60 degrees . . . and when you go from 85 to 60 YOU FEEL IT! Brrrrrrr.

TOMORROW: FULL DAY at MK with our Friends!

I have so enjoyed reading this TR and the photos are just delightful your girls are so pretty- thanks for a really enjoyable read

[iluvwdw]

Thanks for reporting about the campfire. So can you bring all your own stuff and just buy roasting sticks from them? If I ever go (I plan to every trip and something comes up! ) I'd like to bring all my own supplies. Bringing a pizza over was a GREAT idea!!!

Did the street performer in France change?!?! It's one of our favorite stops but usually there are two guys (the guy you have pictured on the chair) and then another guy "pretending" to be part of the audience. Then guy #1 picks a volunteer from the audience (guy #2) to do the handstands on the chair bit. Thus fooling us all. Maybe one of the guys was sick but I hope they didn't change their gimmick. I loved scoping out for guy #2 in the audience. He was ALWAYS wearing a WDW t-shirt.

Secondly, glad to hear you enjoyed your breakfast at Cape May, we are trying it in March for the first time, can't wait.
