Sounds good to me... I can start it since I think I'll be the first one back.

Also, M-dude, I'm with you on the parade crowds. I'd much rather be FAR away from that mess. Besides, we'll probably have our own MM parade later that night. Anyone bringing a video cam?

Unless you have an RSVP, you are getting nowhere near the cameras. I don't know about the sidewalks behind the ropes they will more than likely have to separate the parade viewers and you but security is ridiculously strict as they tape the parade. You can try, I'll still be at home resting up for any Marauding that should be happening at the Kingdom later. Sorry no dinner but planning on the (spiked) Dole Whips. :D

Is that an RSVP for the WDW parade?

Ah, that makes more sense since the DLR crowds were usually small since they are shot on random weekdays in Nov and Dec. Which is why you will see people appear in 3 different locations during a performance of a song since they have to move people to make it look like people are watching. :D

I like this idea :idea: :D
And I'm with M-dude and NaCler on the parade crowds - shudder!

We were there one year during the taping of the parade and there weren't a lot, if any, strict areas that you couldn't be in. They must have changed it up some in the past years. Yay for getting to meet MadEye later in the evening though :D

Depending on who they have performing, it can get pretty bad crowd/security wise.

SB castle really is beautiful with the ice lights...

I'm going to have to pick up a copy of Epic Mickey. That looks awesome. Excellent video on Walt's apartment.

Welcome back Murphy.

I do hope they get rid of those tacky icicles because they do look ridiculous. Other than that, the castle still looks beautiful lit up.

I'm okay with the snow. It's this I don't like.

I've seen worse, but those do seem from about 10 years ago in terms of design. Do they light up at all?
