Wow Mickey, that's a big chicken you've got there.

One of the fantastic things about Tokyo Disneysea is that there is no expense not spared on the visual side of Disney entertainment. Just look at this chicken, I'm betting that's the biggest chicken boat in the world. Probably the only chicken boat in the world. But if there is another one, I'm betting it's smaller.

Less than two weeks to the trip to WDW.

I've learnt not to count my chickens about Disney trips. We had to cancel a trip at short notice last year and postpone it for a couple of months. Hopefully we are good to go a week on Saturday. We are flying there via Las Vegas, where we are scheduled to be about twenty minutes. Las Vegas is of course in totally the wrong direction for Orlando but hey. I like flying so no problem. I'm going to take a quarter for a slot machine, maybe I will win the $1 million jackpot at the Airport. Which unlike any other airport is full of slot machines. Well it is Vegas after all. Then we fly onto Orlando and WDW. The thing I like about WDW is it's capacity to make you forget the real world. So for nine days, I'm going to forget my job, my problems and the fact I lost 25c on a wild gambling spree in Vegas. I might buy a Mickey Chocolate Apple. This is how they make them by the way.

It's showtime for Mickey and Minnie.

I really love the shows that Disney put on, this one was at Tokyo Disneyland and it was terrific.

Balloons.

I always love the balloon sellers on Main Street USA. Nice to see them making people happy and doing a roaring trade. The balloons have changed over the years. Now Frozen Balloons probably outsell Mickey and Minnie, but who cares if everyone is having fun.

Advent Calendar Day Twenty Three - Christmas Walt.

Even Walt and Mickey are getting in the Christmas Spirit with their lovely bed of Christmas Red.

Fantasia Mickey

One of the great things to see at Walt Disney World are the great displays that they do for the Garden Festival, but they are there at other times too. Check this out from the entrance of Disney's Hollywood Studios. This was replaced by a Christmas tree just over a week ago.
