start of the fireworks, an actress dressed as Tinkerbell rode a zipline from the very tippy-top of the castle all the way over to Tomorrow Land.\u00a0 It was amazing to see her ride that high and far!\u00a0 After that, the fireworks took our breath away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I snapped a few pictures during the fireworks.\u00a0 The first couple shows off the icicle-coated
