On the ferry ride over!
The only thing that I don’t quite understand about Disney’s Christmas Party, is that for something made for children – the hours surely aren’t anything to be recommended. 7pm+? Carli enjoyed all of an hour and a half before she just got way too tired. By 9:30, when the fireworks started – 1.5 hours past her normal bed time, she was very, very cranky.
Plus, it being so dark out – we had no idea where we were going half the time. So we missed out on a lot! Carli didn’t get any pictures with characters and we only went on two rides (It’s a Small World and The Haunted Mansion). Even so, she did have fun. To see her eyes and mouth in wonder and giggles – was worth every minute! I can’t wait to take her back during the day time!
Forrest and I split a giant smoked turkey leg in Frontierland, something I have wanted to do for at LEAST 20 years. I thought it was delicious and juicy and crispy and messy! Forrest insisted Feathers were smoked in, but I never saw one. Carli also enjoyed the turkey leg, which was surprising since she is not a huge meat enthusiast.
On another positive note – I felt pretty good through out the entire thing. Maybe the key to morning sickness is to just keep moving. The longer you sit stagnant and think about how awful you feel, the worse it is! So this makes me think that today, we are going to go get her pictures taken with Santa. (Or maybe it’s the Zofran speaking).
Can you believe we forgot to buy one?
Carli & her Daddy (With Cinderella's Castle behind them!)
Seeing even the moments of pure wonder as Carli saw the lights and characters – it just makes me all the more excited to take her in the day time. Maybe in February for my birthday, we’ll go again. I’ll be in the 2nd trimester and more than likely feeling pretty great and I can get in Free – and Carli is under 2, so she can get in free, too!
Next time I’ll bring my Canon Rebel XTi and not my pocket camera so I can get some really good photos!
