Monday, December 3rd 2018 was a half day for me. I worked all day (or at least most of the day) from the hotel room at Coronado Springs. As soon as I could wrap up client work for the day, I jumped on a bus and headed over to Magic Kingdom to meet Maureen, Kevin and Carolyn. Maureen and I had FastPasses for Peter Pan - my favorite ride at Magic Kingdom. It was great flying over London and realizing that I would actually be in London in just a few weeks. Our flying ship stopped unexpectedly as we were flying over the Indian campfire. We lurched forward twice before the ride got underway again. When they say rides can start at any time without notice, they really mean it.
After Peter Pan, Maureen and I met Kevin and Carolyn on the bridge in front of the Beast's castle. We did not have to wait very long before they announced our names and walked us into the castle for dinner at Be Our Guest. It was an early dinner but Be Our Guest is always crowded. We were seated in the main dining grand hall all the way at the end close to the wall of windows. The windows look out over the mountains and we watched snow fall as we ordered and ate our dinners and dessert. All of our dinners were, of course, exceptionally good. The three dessert dishes were impressive as well. I ate it all except for Chip. I left him on the plate.

After dinner, we decided to go to Hollywood Studios. We were going to catch a Minnie Van but there was not one readily available. There was a bus to Wilderness Lodge so we took that to Wilderness Lodge, walked through the lobby to see the Christmas tree and decorations and hailed a Minnie Van out front. It had started raining and it was storming by the time we got to Hollywood Studio. There was no one going into Hollywood Studio. Everyone was exiting the park and they were all soaking wet. Rain was coming down in sheets. There was no way we were going to get out of that Minnie Van so we decided to call it a night and we all headed back to our hotels. We thought we might see the fireworks from our hotel, but we did not. Maybe it was raining so back that they cancelled the fireworks that night. Regardless, we were tired and ready for bed anyway. We had to rest up for the next day and night at Disney World Magic Kingdom which would also be Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.
