Greetings!

This blog post is about my visit to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in December 2012. I have broken the pictures into galleries due to the large number of photos. Most of the pictures are self-explanatory, but I will caption a few. Below the galleries of random pictures are four galleries from the evening. As always, clicking will take you to a larger picture. A big thanks to @DizParksFan for the watermark. All pictures here were taken with a Canon T3i using a 50mm lens, and slightly retouched in iPhoto for OS X.

Pictures from arrival up until the Celebrate the Season Show:

Electrical Water Pageant Storage

RFID entrance testing (MagicBand, MyMagic+ all that good stuff)

Emporium… for the next several pics. I love the Emporium.

Castmember collecting wishes to give to Tinkerbell.

SAFE!

Join our party, our castle party!

Boom!

Adventurous sunset.

This image sold me on my 50 prime.

After the stage show, we headed to Tomorrowland for the Totally Tomorrowland Christmas show:

After the show we headed to Tomorrowland…

…it’s so discombobulated by daytime, but so pretty at night…

….future cool…

…and some comedy…

…and more retro…

…and neon!

Here’s the Totally Tomorrowland Christmas show, which I love:

After the show, we headed to the Tomorrowland bridge to catch the Celebrate the Magic castle projection show:

We watched Celebrate the Magic from this little area behind Stitch’s Great Escape…

From that same area, we watched Holiday Wishes:

After Holiday Wishes, we headed to the Hub to catch the Once Upon a Christmastime Parade:

After Celebrate the Magic, Holiday Wishes, and the Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, we headed back through Tomorrowland, saw a bit of Fantasyland, then headed out slowly down Main Street… Actually, in reviewing the pictures, I see we went up and down Main Street twice. The gallery below is from the end of our night and our trip toward the exit:

Cosmic Ray’s

Tomorrowland is the bees’ knees at night.

Snowflake projections.

Guilty pleasure

WEDWay forever!

Spacey!

The future is full of hidden Mickeys.

My original twitter avatar!

I’d buy this as a print.

Loved this as a kid.

Pretty at night – have you ever taken a look?

Perfomers taking the stage for the castle stage show.

Snow!

A little Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom love.

The window is so ornate…

Lots of Dickens love…

Scrooge is learning a lesson.

Trying for Mickey-shaped lights!

More Mickey fun.

So, thanks for reading, and I hope you guys are okay with all the clicking and separation of the pics into galleries – it’s over 400 pictures and there’s no really good way to do that!

As always, leave feedback below!
