OK...let's get the trip on a brighter note here!
Saturday -
Slept in and our DD really wanted to swim so we thought we would hang at the resort and enjoy the awesome pool. The kids napped then as part our our "homemade magic" we woke the kids up with a special homemade invite from Cindy asking our kids to meet her at the castle. Our DD was THRILLED to say the least! The CRT was THE magic moment of the trip. How amazing to be in the castle!! Cindy was the friendliest princess we met on the trip. She took her time with the kids and really fussed over our DD. For once in her life she was speechless!!
Our DD loved dressing as Cindy too. We got her all decked out at the Emporium and toild her the dress was on hold for her just for the dinner.
We took our pics and waited until we could be seated. The food was pretty lousy but the atmosphere more than made up for it. after dinner the FG and Suzie and Perla came out for a really fun show. they sang and the mice danced with our DD. THat was the 2nd time my DH and I had to choke back the tears. our DD LOVES the mice and she was so funny - saying "Just so you know...there are mice in this castle!" Hee, hee! It was fabulous and in our minds, worth EVERY penny.
After the dinner we checked out a few rides then got in position for the Spectromagic parade which is spectacular. My kids were soo in love with the lights and the music and the floats. it was really magical for them! Even our DS was calling out the characters he knew. This time, I did cry.
It was such a cool thing. My DD said "Mama" after the parade and hugged me tight for a long time. disney magic at it's best!!
I was so excited about the day...I didn't sleep well at all! I should have had a drink!
Sunday --
Chef Mickeys - and passporter friends - you ROCK! We got to ride the monorail from MK to Contemporary with the captain!
Even our Dd thought it was cool. The breakfast was yummy. It just took a lonnngg time to get all the characters to sign our books and take pics - probably 90 minutes!
After breakfast we headed to MK for a character extravaganza! Chip and dale by the train station, PInocchio and his dad, Foulfellow and Gideon, Aladdin w/the genie and Jasmine and passporter friends strike again - PP, WENDY, CH AND SMEE right where you told me they would be!!!
My kids were in HEAVEN!!! It was awesome...
We caught the afternoon parade by, where else, casey's Corner - hot dogs in hand and rain ponchos on! Who cares though! Our DD was excited to see all the princesses on the float and the beast! Wahoo!
The "evil" women of Disney were also cool to see. Late naps then a swim followed by pizza (ordered from Pizza Hut!) eaten on the beds while watching Snow White. Nothin' better!
DTD and WCC next.....
