Trip Report (3-7 January 2009) Finally

swity · April 09, 2009, 03:10:30 PM

Finally I have time to do a little Trip report of my last trip.

I have been to DLRP from 3th to 7th Jaunary 2009 with my parents and my boyfriend.
My boyfriend has been at DLRP in September 2006 for the first time and since then I could convince him of the "magic".

For the first time we stayed in Disney's Cheyenne which was pretty nice.

The weather:
It was pretty cold!!!I really could not believe how cold it was. Everything was frozen and it snowed. We had to drink many cups of tea and coffee to bear it.
But all the freezing was rewarded because the christmas decoration has been stunning.
Here is a picture to proof how cold it was:

The lake in front of the Newport Bay Hotel has been frozen.

Christmas lamppost

Minnies Jolly Holiday:

Also the skull was covered with ice and the lake was frozen:

Mickey's Winter Wonderland

I have never seen this before to be honest...This is in the Liberty Arcade...

Candelbration:

Fantillusion (corrected :wink: )

Hidden Mickys

The parade with the castle in the back]

The first time I saw him

Tower of Terror:

Snowy BTM:

Annette's Dinner:

Chilli con carne...I loved it

Wow some really great pictures there.

It is wonderful when lake disney freezes over. Last christmas i was there and it completely froze. The ice is really thick too. And also a lovely picture of a snow coverec castle.
Great photos well done!

Also can i make one small little correction. The night time parade is called Fantillusion not the main street electrical parade! Sorry!!!!!! :lol:

No problem, actually I knew that it's called Fantillusion (it's on the picture :wink: )
but I was not really sure if it's also called Electrical Parade...Seems to be a different one...because it looked the same like the Electrical Parade I saw a few years ago. :?:

It used to be called The Main Street Electrical Parade a few years ago , am talkin back in the 1990's

Thanks for sharing your pictures, the side view picture of the castle with the grass all white and frosty looks great and I love the photo of Santa pasting the castle!

I am glad you had a great time!!

Thanks Nala,
It was really great to see everything covered with snow but it was really really cold. On other trips we always went to Disney village or we walked arround in the hotels after the park closed but on this trip we have been so happy to be in a warm hotel room that we didn't leave it until the next morning :wink:

And yes, we drive an Opel Meriva :mrgreen:
Do you also drive an Opel or how did you knew about it?
