Day four of our trip had us heading back to Magic Kingdom (Poppa and Tia sat this one out with M). Our goals were to finish getting all of the princesses’ autographs, ride the rides we hadn’t gotten to yet (Peter Pan), and re-ride whatever rides B wanted to do again (Small World, Dumbo). While the day was much cooler, it was a BEAUTIFUL day. And we accomplished all of our goals!
While waiting for our fastpass to see some princesses, B picked out her Mickey ears – princess style, of course. There were many princess-style Mickey ears, but she chose the ones that had pictures of the most princesses on them. AND she wanted it a bit big so it would last longer (of course, this meant it didn’t fit her particularly well that day, a problem we have since remedied).
We rounded out our princess “to do” list with visits with Mary Poppins (what, you didn’t know she was a princess?), Rapunzel, and Tiana, and even squeezed in extra visits with Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty! I plan to do a special post re: pictures with all the Disney characters B met.
One of B’s favorite parts about her second Magic Kingdom trip was the show in front of Cinderella’s castle. She had a front row seat (in M’s stroller), and she was quite transfixed by the show.
Many of us had the “privilege” of wearing B’s mickey ears (best way to carry them):
Jason refused to wear them…
We completed this day with a trip on the kiddie roller coaster (probably the longest line we stood in) – B sat in the front car with Nana
We ended our Disney experience with a quick photo in front of this lovely sign. I suppose we should have put this first, but on Day 1 there were WAY too many people around.
Day 5 brought a trip to Sea World from Nana and Poppa. Mimi, Tatie Kat, and Uncle Mike had to head home, but Uncle Matt joined the rest of us (including M). B’s favorites include the dolphin show, the killer whale show, and this giant boat play area.
Here is the boat:
It had a net ladder, and a deck play area. She went up and down and all around. M also wanted to get in on the fun (yes, she is being as mischievous as she looks).
While the little kids went off with Nana & Poppa, the big kids rode the big roller coasters (Manta & Kraken) – post roller coaster bunch:
The Sea World trip ended with the killer whale show (photo op first!):
Poppa arranged to have B’s picture put up on the big screen! Such things don’t photograph well, but you get the idea. She is in the lower right hand corner.
On our last day, we headed to Downtown Disney for some low key fun. After having lunch at a dinosaur themed restaurant (complete with moving dinosaurs and sound effects!), we headed to the Lego store to play.
B’s Lego city:
There were some pretty impressive Lego “sculptures” to admires as well. The Hulk!
The Loch Ness monster (probably B’s fav)!
Prince Philip battling Maleficent!
Near the Lego store was a GIANT Disney store, complete with more princesses…
B also got to participate in a surprise princess parade through Downtown Disney, complete with a free merry-go-round ride!
B is in the back, waving like a princess:
Free merry-go-round ride (Disney sure has customer service down to a T):
She ended her day with a train ride:
Bye-bye Disney!
Jason and Don took some pretty amazing animal pictures as well, but those will have to wait for another post (and for Jason to get them to me).
