app so you got 1:30 is the Snoopy Night
10:28
Before Christmas and one thing I'm
10:30
really looking forward to is the Calico
10:32
Christmas carol which I would imagine is
10:34
prob well I've seen it before The Gift
10:36
of the Magi was really emotional but
10:38
Calico Christmas Carol for what I
10:39
remember a few years ago was was so good
10:41
not a beagle with stirring not one peep
10:44
or a
10:49
sound good all right the show was really
10:50
really awesome it was a lot longer than
10:51
I thought it was going to be end up
10:52
being a 35 minute show I think was going
10:54
to be like a 20 minute Snoopy on ice and
10:57
there was a lot more ice skaters and it
10:59
was just the Snoopy characters they had
11:00
the Snoopy characters in there but they
11:01
also had a lot of ice skating as well
11:03
but yeah the grand total of the show was
11:05
like 3 4 35 minutes so basically as soon
11:08
as that ended start making our way over
11:10
to watch the show back at the bird cage
11:13
watching the Christmas carol show yeah
11:15
really really impressive it like a full
11:16
cast fullon show lots of set changes
11:18
lots of things going on highly recommend
11:21
it but do not expect like a 20-minute
11:22
show it's a it's a very lengthy more
11:24
than a half hour show for Snoopy ice and
11:27
I'm glad I watched it first time I've
11:29
ever ever seen Snoopy on ice it wasn't
11:31

11:33
characters an entire very talented ice

some of the Disney After Hours hard
17:56
ticketed events and this included in the
17:59
same price 100% with an annual pass and
18:04
tons of savory food items one of my
18:06
biggest complaints about Disney after

20:20
doing that I'm not doing that at all not
20:22
even
20:33
I just got dizzy doing that okay we're
20:33
not going to do Jaguar the line was
20:35
really really a lot longer than I
20:36
thought it was going to be we're looking
20:37
at the tree over here near Fiesta
20:39
Village a look at this and now it's
20:41
almost time for the tree
20:43
lighting be happening in about 5
20:47
minutes this tree is going to light up
20:49
we hoping I've seen in the past that
20:50
some kind of Santa will arrive to light
20:53
the tree but I'm not sure if that's
20:55
going to be the case or maybe that's
20:56
only when they do the opening night
20:58
event look at the train all like a lit
21:12
cow that was that was so dang here it
21:12
goes there it
21:15
is that's
21:17
cool and now the
21:20
star there it is all of ghost town is
21:24
now lit up just like that that was it
21:26
now there is a headstone over here so
21:28
take a look at this this was added just
21:30
specifically for the Mary Farm event
21:32
Ebenezer Scrooge is over here over in
21:35
the little section over here this is not
21:36
normally here over in the little area
21:39
below Pony Express but you can see
21:41
Ebenezer scro Scrooge's name is like
21:44
written right on the side there as the
21:46
Pony Express kind of launches off it
21:48
goes directly over Ebenezer so ebener
21:50
Scrooge forever to see the Pony Express
21:53
above his head now evidently it is about
21:55
to snow in ghost town and about 1 maybe
21:58
2 minutes wonder why the streets are
22:00
completely filled with people it's
22:02
because snoke is about to fall from the
22:04
ghost town Heavens right here at NS
22:07
we're about to get snoped on snow I'm so
22:09
excited we've gotten snoped on a lot
22:11
recently I've seen a lot of snope
22:13
recently a lot of snow we're going to be
22:14
so clean for real the most amount snope
22:18
I've probably ever seen at an event at
22:20
an event I've been to a lot of events
22:22
recently even this year the last couple
22:23
years that have just like a lot of snow
22:25
but this one definitely Takes the Cake
22:27
when it comes to the of snow that was
22:29
precipitating from the top of the ghost
22:32
town here at KN notot Mary Farm I should
22:35
say is is like snope overload like was
22:38
drenched in snope which is basically
22:40
fake snow that is made up of snow of a
22:44
soap so a lot of people call it snope
22:46
and I kind of jumped on that bandwagon
22:47
with the with the the snage I have been
22:50
fully snop
22:52
ified here in the streets of ghost town
22:56
man what a Vibe everybody was having
22:57
such a great time getting snoped
22:59
on little little little fake snow in
23:02
SoCal there's fake snow in Florida
23:04
there's also fake snow in in SoCal I
23:07
think SoCal especially knots they got
23:10
they got it on point they are they had
23:13
twice the amount of anywhere else I bet
23:15
heading into the wagon Camp going to see
