Again, we arrived early at the park, 8:15am, and watched the train come in with Mickey and others! We felt like pros this time around and were ready to take on Magic Kingdom!!
There were a few things in Fantasyland that we didn't do the other day and a couple we wanted to do again, so we went that way first. First stop was getting a fast pass for Winnie the Pooh and then we went to see Enchanted Story time with Belle. It was amazing! Both kids participated in the story(as salt and pepper shakers - ha!) and were able to parade around with Belle and meet her! You have to be a story participant to meet Belle, so I am glad that they took part and were not just sitting in the audience watching!
After that, we rode The Barnstormer(twice, again!), used our fast passes for Winnie the Pooh, drove on Tomorrowland Speedway(S was slightly better this time around, but still was horrible!) and "it's a small world". There! We had finished our Fantasyland must-dos for the day!:)
We went and got fast passes for Big Thunder Mountain and then stood in a ridiculously long line to see Jessie and Woody from Toy Story. Jessie was the one character that S wanted to meet while we were there, even more than any of the princesses, so we wanted to make sure that happened for her! We ate lunch while we waited in line so that we could kill two birds with one stone! She was ecstatic when it was finally our turn:)
By the time we got done with the Toy Story characters it was time to return to ride Big Thunder Mountain. We did rider swap again for this one and I wasn't too sure how S would do on such a big roller coaster but she loves them like her Momma and gladly rode two times! Afterwards we went and rode Alladin's Flying Carpets, went to the Tiki Hut and rode the Jungle Cruise before settling in to watch the parade! C was a huge fan of the parade and loved every minute of it! Not to mention they enjoyed Mickey Mouse ice creams while they waited for the parade to start! They had it made:)
When the parade ended the crowds were crazy, so we just ducked into Swiss Family Robinson and climbed around before going to grab fast passes for Splash Mountain. We had quite a bit of time to kill before it was time to ride. We split up at this point. M and C went and rode the River Boat and tour the Hall of Presidents while I took S to see Tinkerbell and Rosetta followed by some more fairy dust and a ride on the carousel.
We met back up and rode Splash Mountain! Again, I wasn't sure how S would do with it, but this ended up being her absolute favorite ride at Disney and she wanted to go again and again and again, but two times seemed like enough!
It was dinner time and we were tired so we ate at the park and took our time before catching the train back over to Fantasyland where we let the kids run like crazies at the splash yard! They were having an absolute ball and I think they may have stayed there for hours if we hadn't been wanting to go get a good spot for the parade and fireworks. I had a full change of clothes for each kid so we got them dry and changed and claimed our spots for the parade!
The parade was of course amazing! Both kids waved and waved!! C got so ticked off and offended if each character didn't waive directly back at him - it was cute! After the parade there was a light show on the castle. We put C back in the stroller to turn it around to face the castle and in that 4 seconds of being in the stroller, he was out for the count and slept until we got on the monorail a couple hours later to go back to our car(he was not one bit happy when he woke up and screamed, but I can't really blame him!). S loved the light show, the fireworks and watching Tinkerbell fly from the castle. This part of the trip made it seem truly magical!! We were all in awe of how wonderful it was to be there and watching S's face was well worth keeping the kids out so so late!
We had told the kids when we got there that they could each get 1 toy before we left. After the fireworks, while all the other people filed out of the the park, we stopped and let S pick out a toy for her and C(since he was still sleeping). She chose a Jessie doll for herself and a Woody doll for her brother!
We arrived back at the condo just before midnight and were tucked into bed shortly afterwards!!
It was a wonderful trip and we made so many memories while we were there! We love Disney World!!
**Don't know why these ended up out of order, but I'm just going to go with it for now!!

Love, love, love all the Disney posts!!! Just read them all to Tessa and showed her the pics. So glad you had a great time and you got some awesome pictures. My fav is the two kids eating their Mickey ice cream and the one of fireworks behind the castle.
