I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
We had a wonderful time during our Disney Christmas Vacation and a blast at both parties, 12/19 & 12/22. I wasn't really on the boards during our trip, last day felt a little sick, returned to freezing cold weather and had the flu! Yuck!
I did want to report on the 2 parties. 12/22 was sold out but didn't feel sold out to me. IMO, crowds on 12/22 or more manageable than on 12/19, but both were bearable, what I expected & what I planned for on both nights.
12/19
Arrived around 1:30pm. Used 3 FP+. Dinner @ CP.
1. 1st in line for Moana, ~3:55pm, Woo-hoo! (DH & DD rode a few rides and meet Jasmine & Aladdin while I was in line), she came out promptly @ 4pm. Great interaction with her, as well as, with CM and PP behind me while waiting.
2. Nick & Judy (DH waited in Line, DD & I went to check on party merchandise & went to 2 treat stations)

6. DD decided wanted to ride, so we got off schedule, Did BTMRR, HM, Magic Shots, Meet Jack Sparrow & Peter Pan, rode PotC
