Mad Tea Party (the regular kind) with Tiny Duffy
We were actually heading elsewhere, but we stopped for a picture. Four different attempts and this is the best we got!

Deja Vu, Gingerbread, Fireworks
"I feel like we've been here before," said Tiny Duffy. "A lot."
"Sssh," whispered Tiny Shellie May. "She has an unhealthy love of gingerbread men with mouse ears. But we love her anyway."
"I'm not sure that is a nice thing to say," Tiny Duffy said.
Tiny Shellie May was right, though.
MORE GINGERBREAD!
Then we RUSHED over to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad just in time to do something AMAZING.
Fireworks while riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad...that just may be my favorite viewing spot!
At least for the Christmas show. Even though I have an unnatural love of gingerbread, I don't think Christmas is about the smell of gingerbread and stuff.
The pictures on the ride itself came out a bit odd. I was so scared I wouldn't get on the ride in time for fireworks but it turned out PERFECTLY!

Heffalumps and Woozles
There was no line for Winnie the Pooh (as is often the case at night).
"Shall we ride?" asked Tiny Shellie May.
"Yes!" said Tiny Duffy.
Tiny Duffy and Tiny Shellie May tried to mimic the safety sign. Though they're not belted in at all, so I am not sure how safe they were.
"This ride is weird," said Tiny Duffy.
(He's right!)
I hear Tokyo Disneyland's version is AMAZING. Ours...is weird.

Trains and Coney Island at Disneyland
Then we moved on back to Disneyland!
My tiny Shellie May doesn't care much about trains, but Tiny Duffy and I love them! This is a piece of Walt Disney's own train!
Coney Island at Disneyland! (Well, Disneyland Paris too, I guess.)
Beautiful!
I wish I could've ridden the Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland. (Big Thunder Mountain replaced it.)
Walt Disney built this stove (probably an animator painted it). Yes, Walt loved miniatures! Do you think he would have liked Tiny Duffy and Tiny Shellie May?
Oh! You wanted to see Tiny Shellie May and Tiny Duffy? Well, they slipped next door.....
...to watch an old-timey Disneyland slide show!

Soarin' (again) with Tiny Duffy and Tiny Shellie May
Paradise Pier at Night and more
Isn't Paradise Pier pretty at night?
I love this area because it looks just like the old seaside parks from the 1900s-1920s.
Of course, I don't know how much I'll love it when it's so crowded...I think part of what I loved about it was that it was so uncrowded at night. Now with Cars Land being so popular, things are changing...
In November they had a deal that if you bought a 17" Duffy you could get 2 costumes for half off. I was tempted! Instead I ended up a 12" Duffy online...that night I think...he is very sweet and dear.
Lookout point!

Wasn't the Golden Zephyr fun?
"See?" asked Tiny Duffy. "That wasn't so bad, was it?"
"Actually," said Tiny Shellie May, "I think it was a little boring."
I don't know. I think of it as a short Peoplemover.

No, really, on the Golden Zephyr
Isn't it beautiful?
One of the Cast Members recognized Shellie May too! She got that little bear blush in her tiny bear cheeks again.

Golden Zephyr at Night
"I don't know," said Tiny Shellie May.
"It looks scarier at night."
"It's not bad," I said.
"Promise?" asked Tiny Shellie May.
"Promise," I said.
"All right."

At the Golden Zephyr (again)
Isn't it beautiful at night?
"Don't be scared, Tiny Shellie May," said Tiny Duffy. "It's fun. Remember?"
"That awful alarm isn't going to go off this time, are they?" asked Tiny Shellie May.
"I hope not," I said.

On the Little Mermaid Ride
After a rest, Tiny Duffy, Tiny Shellie May and I left the Paradise Pier Hotel and went back to the parks.
You walk across the street and through the Grand Californian Hotel.
Bears!
We rode the Little Mermaid ride again. Can you see the tiny bears?

Paradise Pier Hotel
As I said earlier, we splurged and stayed at the Paradise Pier Hotel!
We saw (and heard) some carolers on the way to our room.
Our room was just a regular room....but it's Disney property!
"It's like a squishy trampoline," said Tiny Duffy.
This was our view.
Tiny bears loved the lamps.
