Disney World Day 3

Day 3 we headed back to Magic Kingdom.

Pluto was waiting there for autographs and pictures in Main Street which worked out because Daddy had to go pick up the stroller.

Then the girls spotted Pinnocchio across the street so we obliged.

Next we headed over to Cinderella's Royal Table for breakfast with the princesses! The girls knew ahead of time that we had reservations so they insisted on wearing their princess dress that Grams made for them.

You walk into her castle and take a picture with Cinderella first

and then she gives you a royal invitation to join her for breakfast upstairs. You head upstairs and you truly feel like you are in a castle. The hostess told the girls exactly were to sit so it was easiest to visit with the princesses when they come by. Then you hear a voice over the speakers and they start to tell a story about a princess and then the princess walks in.

The first was Snow White

Princess Aurora/Sleeping Beauty

Belle

and Ariel

(Taylor could hardly contain herself she was so excited to finally meet her)

Then they give all the kids wishing stars and wands and have them join all the princesses in making a wish.

It was an awesome experience!

After breakfast we headed over to Frontierland but made a small pit stop on the way to meet

Princess Tiana (from Princess and the Frog)

Next, we made a stop to watch the Country Bear Jamboree and some air conditioning!

After the show I spotted Donald Duck!!!! He has always been my favorite so of course we had to head over for a photo op and I jumped in on this one!

Then we all rode on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Don't let the name fool you this is an all out roller coaster but both of the girls wanted to ride it. They girls totally amazed me with how brave they were on all of the rides.

Stopped to meet Woody and Jessie from Toy Story

Then we made our way over to Splash Mountain. We had gotten Fast Passes earlier in the day for this ride so we didn't have to wait in line and watched it come down the mountain over and over again. Kendall asked all day "when are we going to ride it"! She was so excited to ride it- I couldn't believe it. This ride plummets over the mountain peak on a 5 STORY fall that ends in a massive splashdown into a pond and she LAUGHED hysterically the whole time! I wished I could have gotten a picture but I couldn't. I will say that we all got very wet!

After that we headed to Adventureland!

Hopped on Walt Disney World Railroad which took us around the border of Magic Kingdom!

Then we took in The Enchanted Tiki Room- Under New Management show and rode on the Jungle Cruise and then off to ride the Magic Carpets of Aladdin

Kendall, Aunt Casey, and Mimi rode it one

and Taylor, Daddy, and me rode in another

Next I had a little surprise for the girls! I had made reservations at The Pirates League for them to get transformed into pirates. Taylor was super excited but Kendall told me "this is not a good surprise for me I am not a boy and I don't like pirates". Oops I guess I should have done the princess one for her but to be honest I was a little princessed out by now. So Taylor started-

First you turn the wheel and get your pirate name-

Emily Backscratcher is her new name

Then off to get your nails and face painted, a bandana, eye patch, an earring, a pouch full of pirate essentials, a sword, sash, and of course take the pirate oath!

About this time Kendall changed her mind and wanted to do it so now we have

Emily Backscratcher and Elizabeth Bridgekidd

Then we had to turn our cameras off to go in the pirates secret room! Once in there we got a real piece of the captains treasure and do some pirate magic.

Another awesome experience!

Finally (we had tried to ride it once before but closed down while we were waiting in line) we got to ride Pirates of the Caribbean.

Dinner Time!

We had reservations at Liberty Tree Tavern. Yummy! It was served family style which was great because we had some hungry girls and boys that day.

Then it was time to stake out a spot for the night parade. It is crazy how early people starting saving spots. We made our way towards Main Street so we could have a quick out after the parade since it didn't start until 9 o'clock!

We luckily found a front row spot next to some really nice people from North Carolina. The girls made friends with Braydon, who is 5 also, which totally keep them busy during the hour wait and the 18 INCH SUGAR stick Daddy bought them!!!

SHOW TIME!

Pictures don't really give it justice but it was incredible! The whole thing is lights, singing, and dancing.

Nobody even talked the whole time except to say who they saw coming up we just all stared in amazement.

After the parade was over the girls were going down hill so we decided to take the ferry back to the transportation center so we could still see the fireworks as they went over on forever right over Cinderella's castle. It was magical and a great way to end a fantastic day.
