Day 91-Lily Belle

Nick read online that if you see the Lilly Belle parlor car being pulled behind the Holiday train and ask a conductor to ride it they will let you. We asked and they told us to come back at 3:45 to ride it. We didn't want to miss it so we arrived a little early. That ended up being the best decision. We got a personal tour of the park on the Lilly Belle, which was Lillian Disney's personal parlor car where she entertained her guests and many importnat people in the park.

The conductor talked the entire time about the car, the park and Walt. His personal smoking jacket was even hanging in the car. It is not an expierence that many people get to have, riding in that car. We were so honored to be allowed to do that. It was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.

The best thing is if we had been on time and not early we would have had to ride with about 15 other people. For once my earliness paid off!
