Asked at the stand by the ride board when he would be on the island so did not have to “hang around hopingâ€! Riverside Seating for Fantasmic on Tuesday Nov. 13. I had done this once before and also the Balcony, but wanted my brother to experience it too. First time for me with the dessert boxes instead of the buffet. They were great and much more than we could eat. Put them in the hotel fridge and nibbled the whole week! Two BIG chocolate covered strawberries, two large cookies with a strawberry filling, two biscotti with a wonderfully flavored glaze, two chocolate dipped macaroons, and two Mickey Mouse krispie treats. Drinks offered when we were seated, and again right before Fantasmic began. Fireworks in front of the castle, with the new Christmas lighting and overlay. Breathtaking!! In 52 years we had never sat and staked out a spot in front of the castle to view the fireworks, and decided this year we would! Sat down at 7:00…right in front at the curb, great view! Lots of snow, always makes me teary! Nemo for the first time…loved it…probably because I am just happy to have the lagoon filled and subs running…very nostalgic for me. We went several times during the week and never waited more than 30 minutes…usually went between 6-8 p.m. Lilo and Stitch breakfast at PPH hotel…second time…and still my favorite. Best character interaction of any of the character meals. Daisy Duck was there again and I got pictures with her this time…one of the few places you will see here. Also did the Minnie and Friends as usual. Captain Hook one of my favorites to interact with. We used photopass again, and the pictures are great!! 63 pictures from all over both parks. Dole Whip(s)!!, Mickey Pretzel, Frozen Banana, and Gingerbread Man from the Blue Ribbon Bakery, and MUCH more great treats and food. 92 days until my March trip!!
