DLR 11/8 - Christmas Parade Taping & NO CHARACTER PICS!
Yesterday was a lovely day to be at the Disneyland Resort. Christmas arrived early with the taping of Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade. My first stop was to grab Fastpass' for Space Mountain.
I then went to get in line for the Matterhorn, but it broke down while we were in line.
I then went round to Toontown & rode Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin & Gadget's Go-Coaster.
Then I went on the Disneyland Railroad for a roundtrip, & then continuing on to the Tomorrowland Station.
I then used my Fastpass' for Space Mountain.
I then got back in line for the Matterhorn Bobsleds, & it actually was running!

I then went in to eat at the Plaza Inn for my first ever time eating there. It was absolutely delicious!

Time to head over to DCA!
Then I headed over to Toy Story Midway Mania
I then headed over to Soarin' Over California to use my Fastpass' (which I had got when I entered the park).
Then I headed over to A Bug's Land where I went on It's Tough to be a Bug & Heimlich's Chew Chew Train.
I then headed out of DCA & back into Disneyland.
I got in line for the Princess Fantasy Faire, but unfortunately my parents called me to meet up with them, so I had to get out of the line. I headed over & rode the Jungle Cruise, followed by Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion Holiday, & Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
I went & sat for the Parade of Dreams, as its last 2008 performance is on November 11th, & it won’t be returning until February due to A Christmas Fantasy Parade at first, & then the Main Street re-paving project. Here are a few of my best shots.
After that I got a pin for me & a pin for a friend from the Emporium, & a coffee from the Market House & then headed out.

Great TR!
Looks like you had fun!

Nice photos, I'm sure Tinker Bell was In the "meet and greet" area during the parade, Tinker Bell Is In a different area then the other "fairy's", that probably why you didn't see her when you peeked into Pixie Hollow XD

No, I saw the area where Tink usually is & Silvermist was there. The parade runs right past Pixie Hollow, so they can't have 2 Tinks out at once.

Well no it's not cause they said that when the Parade goes Tink will not be there. Besides if there where two Tinks out it will crush the dreams for the little kids. I remember this year I think it was back in March they had two Peter Pan's out at the same time. One at the entest to Main Street and one on the Parade of Dreams which was coming from the castle to Main Street. I was the only one that saw this thank goodness that no little kid did or they would be hurt from seeing two Peter Pan's out at the same time.

No, the Fantasy Faire store opposite It's a Small World is closed. That has absolutely nothing to do with the Princess Fantasy Faire.

But think about it... You've just met Tinker Bell at Pixie Hollow, & then you step outside & see Tink in the Parade of Dreams. Suspension of belief my friend.

Thanks Luke for clearing that info.
Re: DLR 11/8 - Christmas Parade Taping & NO CHARACTER PICS!
Also those big balloons, Luke, are only used for the Christmas Day Parade and not for the "Celebrate Today" promotion.

Luke, I always love your reports. Thank you again for a great TR. I have a son your age, he's 17 and a big DLR fan and an all around Mickey fan. I think you are just adorable and I'll look forward to your next TR.
