We arrived at the Transportation and Ticket Center after parking and decided to let Steve choose our mode of transport to the park. He opted for the boat, so we waited our turn to board before making our way to the entrance of the Magic Kingdom. Once inside we headed towards Adventureland to stop at the Spring Roll Snack Cart to grab a couple orders of pizza spring rolls. We made our way across the bridge into Liberty Square, where we found a table to sit and eat. Once we finished our snack/lunch, we made our way to the Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe to search for ornaments for the family. Unfortunately this years requests are proving hard to come by.

From Liberty Square we made our way to Frontierland to enjoy the new Country Bear Musical Jamboree. I have seen this show a couple of times now, and while I can picture it becoming dated quickly, I do enjoy it for now. I wish they could have blended some of the new music with some of the old, but I'll take what I can get!

Our next destination was back in Adventureland, where we went on the Jungle Cruise. It was a typical time on the ride, listening to the corny jokes. Although I wouldn't want to wait in a long line for this one, it is always an enjoyable time when we do go for a gentle cruise.

We headed back to Liberty Square once more, this time to board the Doom Buggies on the Haunted Mansion. Jayden doesn't care for this ride, so without her here we decided to give it a go. Although I wouldn't rank the Haunted Mansion in my top ride list, I do enjoy it when I get the chance to go.

We decided at this time that we should head over to Disney Springs to try our luck there with our Christmas ornament search, but before leaving the park we stopped at a popcorn stand to snag the latest popcorn bucket, Teddy from The Nightmare Before Christmas. While not my most favorite movie, the bucket was pretty cool and goes with my Jack Skellington sipper from a few years ago.

While here we met up with my cousin Heather, her husband Jason, and their son Colin. After connecting we all decided that we could use a bite to eat, so we decided to give Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar a try. It's an interesting little bar, but the food choices are definitely limited. The menu is basically just appetizers, and we found a couple to share between the six of us. While I don't see myself going back, it wasn't a bad experience by any means.

After having a snack, Grandma Terry, Steve, and I headed down to the opposite end of Disney Springs than where we usually hang out, to visit the Pleasing pop-up shop. Pleasing is a company owned by Harry Styles, one of Jayden's favorite artists. There is a collaboration between Pleasing and Disney centered around Fantasia, and Jay wanted to check it out but couldn't miss school today to join us. We managed to find one sweatshirt that was reasonably priced (well, in relation to the nearly $100 hats and bags, and $200 sweatshirts) that I was able to convince Grandma Terry to give to Jay for her birthday/Christmas this year.

We ended our say by hitting a few of the shops back at the opposite end of Disney Springs before deciding to make our way home. Of course no trip to Walt Disney World would be complete without stopping at Chili's when Grandma Terry is a member of the travelling party!
