Day Three - December 12, 1996

The third day was pretty full. We started the day with a late breakfast at Disney-MGM Studios followed by the Toy Story parade. Then, we toured the park for a while, ate a late lunch at the 50s Prime Time Cafe, and saw the Indiana Jones Stunt Show. Then, we went back to the Port Orleans to recoup before heading over to the Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom. The party was great! There were no lines for any of the rides, free hot chocolate and cookies, and lots of Christmas decorations, parades and shows. We managed to make it all the way until the 1am closing without anybody pooping out and then we dragged ourselves back to the hotel and fell into bed.

Clopin wanted to know why Matthew had Phoebus on his shirt instead of Clopin so Matthew promised to wear his Clopin shirt the next day.

For once I look good but everyone else looks goofy. Usually it's the other way around.
