Christmas 2008

This Christmas we are spending it in the Walt Disney World (WDW) area. We have stayed at Thousand Trails (TT) & Deer Creek (DC). We have just moved from TT to DC yesterday, Dec. 23. The past week we have been visiting the Disney parks, Magic Kingdom & Epcot. Both parks have wonderful xmas fireworks. It is tough to choose between which one is better than the other. We got to see the xmas parade that had begun on Dec. 20 at Magic Kingdom (MK). It was so good. We went in with our friends, Bob & Glenda, on Dec. 21. We saw 3 shows at the MK stage in front of the castle. We didn't get to ride any rides cause of the many people that have come to WDW for the holiday season. Epcot was busy tonight. We met up with our friends, Russ & Susan, at the Americana section of Epcot. We stood in line to wait to get in to see the Candlelight Processional. But before they got there, Richard and I walked from France over to the Outpost to get an ice cream cone and sit down to watch people, which is really fun. About 6pm, we met up with Russ & Susan in the line up for the show. Luckily we were able to get in for the 6:45pm showing cause the line was really long. The guest speaker was Steven Curtis Chapman. The show was really good and the singers were awesome. After the show, we stood around and talked. Finally we walked around toward the front of the Showcase to find a spot to watch the fireworks. The xmas fireworks were awesome. After the fireworks, we were heading in the opposite direction towards the back of the park cause we had parked at the Beach Club Resort and had to walk back to the resort area. It was like salmon swimming up stream. Russ & Susan was walking the same way cause they parked at the Boardwalk. We said our good byes and we all headed home. It was a great evening and we didn't even buy any merchandise, just some ice cream and later on, some mcd's fries.
It is almost Christmas. It is 11:36pm and very soon it will be Christmas. Tonight I got a bit tearful during the fireworks cause it's xmas eve and I miss my kids and grandbabies.
To every one, Merry Christmas!
