So what prompted this Disney update? I perhaps may have a Disney trip in the works and in order to make the Disney magic seem more real and last longer, I decided to dust off my old TR binder and see if I could give some respect back to my latest report!
So, quick recap, we had just finished eating the best meal EVER at Brown Derby and were off to finish our night at DHS.
We waited in line for Little Mermaid and finally got on. It was about 15 minutes of a wait, but Blake and I were stuffed and needed to let us food digest anyway before he headed to Rock and Roller Coaster.
Two of my favs from the show.
Blake and I have learned by now not to sit in the middle of the theatre, because you do get wet! I always forgot how much water they send down and at night, it gets me chilly!
After the show, we still had these babies in our hand.
And had waited to ride TSM ALLLL day! This ride is always so much fun!
And the scores were......
Judging by the facial expressions can you guess who won???
Heck yeah!
BUT, even though I do kick his butt all the time TSM, he ALWAYS beats me at Buzz Lightyear, ok, I admit it!
Next up...Rock and Roller coaster
It was such a nice night. I always pick a nice spot on the concrete wall and normally have my chocolate covered banana, but I was too full still, so instead I just waited on my wall with my trip report and updated. Blake's "plan" was to ride Rock and Rollercoaster twice. Once with his FP and once with mine. Did the plan keep???
Nope.
He came back with a look and said "whoa..what a rush." Apparently he forgot about how fast it was and opted to only ride it once. We decided to give the other fastpass away. Blake and I are very particular about who we give our fastpass prizes too...we always take so long to decide
So he finally picked out a young teenager and the look on his face when Blake handed it to him, was like "REALLY? Are you SERIOUS!" So Blake was happy with his decision! And we headed off toward our favorite part of the evening....
The OSBOURNE FAMILY LIGHTS!!!
I can not tell you how beautiful this event is. We have seen it 5 times now and are blown away every time. I wish there were seats or something so you could leisurely sit and take it all in. The lights start up at 7:30 and go until park close. DEFINITE must see if you go in December.
Here are a few of our favorites.
They have fake snow (bubbles) falling, I love how this one you can see the "snow" against the black sky and the colors
Although they were a little carried away with the snow this year.
Case in point.
When the lights start dancing to the music, it is just the best thing ever!
My favorite is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra dance.
We were ready to leave and try and beat the Fantasmic crowd, which was a success! But on our way out, this was the cutest window display!
We stopped into Pop on our bus ride back to grab some water and a banana, but realized we were both a little hungrier than that, so we looked at the menu:
And decided upon 1 CS meal. The Turkey Ciabatta sandwich which was excellent with spicy mayo served with chips, another bottle of water, an apple turnover and some grapes to share.
It was fantastic and hit the spot! I am always a sucker for a really great sandwich! We ate happily in our bed until we cleaned up and watched some tv, a little worried that the next day, our Magic Kingdom day!! Was expecting 60% showers all day.
Would the rain hold up or would we get soaked??
Stay tuned!

Looks like a great ending to your day at DHS -- love those Osborne lights! So, are you thinking about another Christmas trip?
