one last post (sorry not trying to take over just finally caught up)
looks like the weather will be in the mid to low 70's which is normal for here. actually it was pretty nice in the parks yesterday not too hot not too cold. a couple of quick tips. if you have a Disney visa (not sure if they have that in Ireland) there is a private meet and greet back in dca and you get a free pic. you have to pic it up; that day but heck free is free. they rotate characters. usually Minnie daisy and stitch take turns. (we take the granddaughter there every time she is wild for Minnie)
if you don't take the walk in walt;s footsteps (yet another thing this California native has not done yet ) you could try for a ride on the lilly belle that is mrs. Disney's private train car. not the same but p0retty cool none the less. you have to ask when the park opens up at the train station if it is running they take your name and give you a time to come back.
If you are going to meet anna and elsa you need to head back to fantasy land when the park opens and get in line. this is the line for a ticket that tells you when to come back and wait in a short line for the meet and greet. folks were getting upset that the line was hours and hours long so this was the solution. the waits were not bad
pixie hallow is really cool and well done. super cute...at night? AMAZING the meet and greet is closed but the exterior area is amazing.
glad you and momma are heading out to the original house of mouse, if you need any other info feel free to pm me or you can find me on face book too (Betsey whitehead)
