Went to see the Annual Passholder show of the Golden Horseshoe Review. It was WONDERFUL!!!
Yes it was a short show (20mins) but that's how it was originally. Some of the Can-Can dancers were daughters of the original dancers. It was great to be able to take my 20-something year old Daughter, who never had a chance to see it originally. - We received a CD/Mug... The memories were the best part.
Loved IT!

Pros:

meeting the princes
|
|
Cons:
|
not enough information or notice of LTM offerings
|
|
We happened to have a vacation planned that overlapped two different LTM weeks. The first week we got soup. We checked in after the Super Bowl parade, so all we got was soup at Cosmic Rays. I didn't much care for it and it really was kind of funny that was our LTM.
The next week was True Love Week. We were excited to meet the princes. However, apart from that and getting a picture in front of Cinderella's carriage, I don't know what else was going on. There is not enough notice of special events and the information is very limited. I didn't see much for special merchandise in the stores, other than a Valentine pin (and by Tuesday there were only a few left).

We arrived January 9th. I couldn't find anything on the blog about what the "magic" was that week so I was excited that it would be a surprise for us. We asked everyone, from the check-in desk to people at all the parks, and no one even knew what I was talking about. As far as I can tell there was no extra magic that week. We were really disappointed.

Only a few days notice

I had been waiting for Long Lost Friends week since October 2012, when Disney first teased at the possibility. When I heard rumors that is was going to happen about 5 days ahead of the official announcement, I made resort reservations. Being a pass holder and living within driving distance, I could do this. I held my breath waiting for the official announcement which was made only three days before my visit. I feared that the characters might be some I had already met. Fortunately, I was not disappointed. There were 15 Long Lost characters out for meets and we had never met 11 of them. There were plenty of locals and character hunters in line, but I'm sure many people just can't make a last minute trip. I'll probably try to make future last minute trips for limited time magic but it sure would be nice if Disney gave a schedule a little further out.
On another note, the lines moved quickly and we met all 5 sets within an hour and a half. Only other complaint is that we felt a bit rushed with characters. It was "take a pic and go." I was ok with not getting autographs but felt like they didn't want the kids to interact with the characters at all.

Great Old Characters

Time wasted in line

We went for the first day of the Long Lost Friends Limited Time Magic. The characters included in it are- Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, Sheriff of Nottingham, and Prince John; Scrooge Mc Duck and Ludwig von Drake; The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf; Pinocchio, Geppetto, and Jiminy Crickett; and Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow. I was mainly there for the Robin Hood Characters. There are no times posted, however, after talking to the character handlers, the characters are out on the half hour, for a half hour (i.e. out at 10:30 and stay until 11:00). They are from park opening until 4pm. What was unfortunate, was if you were in line for Robin Hood, you pretty much weren't able to meet any other characters until the next meet and greet time. The lines were long enough, that you weren't able to make your way all the way through the line, before the music started to play and the characters were escorted away. We had to go back multiple times for photos. The characters also do not sign autographs, but the handlers have "Autograph cards" that they can give you. All of the characters are located in the Town Square area of Main Street. I was still pretty excited to see the characters that I haven't seen in years, and so were many of the people in line.

My girls were excited thinking they would have snow to play in. It was nothing but characters dressed up behind little snow and some snow blowing behind them. They were disappointed.

Pros:

the chance to get a photo with a group of Disney characters

Cons:
|
nothing to write home about

I didn't realize the set up was in front of Canada. I walked around the shops and "mountains" of Canada looking for snow when I spotted the set by the lagoon. It wasn't what I imagined, but I collect photos of the characters and Daisy did have on a dress that I had never seen before so I arrived about 10 minutes before they were due to come out and when we left, the line was rather long so it seems to be drawing a crowd. I just wouldn't make a special trip just for that.

Nothing special

The Limited Time Magic for Jan. 14 through 20th was nothing to brag about. We saw Chip, Dale, Donald, and Daisy with essentially Christmas garb on, with an inflated tree and VERY few flakes of fake snow in the Canada pavilion on the first day of this promo. If this is Disney's idea of a promotion, they need to go back to the drawing board. Disappointed.
