Thanks again for the great trip report and pictures. Like I've already said, I love Disneyland covered in snow and ice. The park looks really beautiful.

And here it is, the final chapter!

After a delicious lunch in the Agrabah Cafe (they might rethink their all-you-can-eat approach after my brother's visit... you would think he hadn't eaten in years!) and with fully recharged batteries, we decided to try the dark rides in Fantasyland. Great for digestion and we'd only done Peter Pan so far...

We went via Adventureland, I really couldn't get enough of it, with all the snow...









First in Fantasyland was Pinocchio, followed a few minutes later by Snow White. Pinocchio was great, Snow White was way too fast... It's maybe a way of reducing waiting times, but I really would love some more time to enjoy some of the scenes...







A few more pictures around Fantasyland









No visit to Disneyland is complete without a walk around the Castle Gallery...







We ended our visit to the Castle with a trip down to see the dragon... The bridge was closed, so we left via the dragon's cave. I really like coming out that way, you get a nice view of the Castle.





Up close and personal...


Works on the bridge






Nice views of the Adventureland entrance from here as well






We had to leave the park around 5:30 to get our train, and we wanted to do some more shopping... So we decided to stop with the rides around 4:00 to have plenty of time for shopping. Frontierland is probably my favourite land in DLP, so we headed there. After getting some fastpasses for BTM, we went for one last visit to Phantom Manor and Boot Hill.

New addition to Frontierland






After one last go in BTM (with the fastpasses, we walked straight into the trains... brilliant!!), we went back towards Main Street for the shopping. The shops were pleasantly quiet, and warm! I have to say, after that last go in BTM, we were both feeling a bit chilly!

One more, on the way...


Around Disney & Co:





Plenty of Princess and the Frog merchandise...




We finished shopping just in time to see the parade... It shows you how busy the park was, we went to see the parade just when it was arriving at we got a first row place on Main Street...

The Mary Poppins / Peter Pan float was not in, so instead Peter Pan & Co were coming down before the parade. Wendy was running away from Smee, Peter Pan was fighting Hook, and the pirates were trying to kidnap one of the CM in the red coats, the ones that make sure no one gets in the way of the parade... It was really funny!

Then it was time for the parade!











I have been chosen...










And it was time for us to go...    

We went to the station, got our bags, and waited for the train... Because of the weather it was delayed by about 40 minutes, which was annoying because we could have spent that much extra time in the parks, instead of waiting in a cold station  :evil:  But never mind...

We had a wonderful, wonderful time. I don't think it could have gone any better. The parks were looking great with all the snow, we could get plenty done without any queues, and for me it was quite special to have first my parents with us for one day (particularly my dad, I never thought he would ever gp back to DLP), and then to spend some time alone with my little brother. Now that he's studying in Boston, I don't get to see him enough!!

So overall a real magical trip, and full of great memories!!

Thank you all for reading this, hope you enjoyed it!

Fantastic tripreport, although I do prefer when it is a bit more crowded. On the other, you can do all the rides without the long ques, which is nice too. I can also recommend Agrabah Cafe. Realy nice buffet restaurant and the price is very good.
