It’s the most wonderful time of the year here at Disney World! And today, we’re spending the day at Magic Kingdom!

We admit that when we entered, we did a double-take because the plain scrims that were covering the Main Street U.S.A. Railroad Station have been fully replaced with the mimic scrims to make the construction seem a little less out of place.

Move along, nothing to see here…
See what the Main Street U.S.A. Railroad Station looked like before the new scrims went up
Let’s walk down Main Street U.S.A.! What a view, right?

Honestly, we’re a little surprised that it’s not as busy today as we expected! Anyway, let’s head to Cinderella Castle. There she is, in all her glory!
Cinderella Castle
Again, we’re shocked at the lack of crowds — it’s the weekend before Christmas! But we’re not complaining!

We took some time to watch guests getting SPLASHED on Splash Mountain. Everything is satisfactual!

Then our two favorite mischievous chipmunks came out to say hello. Hey there, Chip ‘n’ Dale! Look at how cute they are in their little holiday outfits!

After saying hello to our buddies, we took a peek at Rivers of America, which is still drained while it and the Liberty Square Riverboat are under refurbishment.

There will be water back in there soon enough!
See photos and video of the Rivers of America right after it was completely drained
But let’s wander on over to Adventureland because we’re feeling a little pirate-y!

While we’re waiting in line for Pirates of the Caribbean, does anyone have any good pirate songs to sing?

Now we feel like plundering and looting… Fantasyland! Just kidding, we really want to just feel like a princess at the Cinderella Carriage Photo Op!
Cinderella Carriage Photo Op
This photo op is usually only temporary when it comes out, so gotta get that royal photo now while it lasts!

Who wants to see the new paint job on “it’s a small world”?
“it’s a small world’
It’s just so vibrant and cheerful!

It might be Christmas, but we’re always in the mood for Haunted Mansion! Let’s pet the ghost horse!
Haunted Mansion
Then it’s back down to Main Street to check out the crowds –or the lack thereof. Again, this is the weekend before Christmas. Where is everyone?
Here’s a look at Main Street U.S.A now! pic.twitter.com/05pyGsnTG9

And because this is Florida, it’s time for random rain! But we got to watch a Rainy Day Cavalcade with Santa! He’s used to a LOT of snow, so what’s a little rain?
