Disney Day 7, Magic Kingdom again!

We arrived at the Magic Kingdom to find that the Spring break crowds found us, boo!  Horrible lines everywhere.  Even It's a Small World had a 60 minute wait!  But we were determined to eat lunch at Be Our Guest Restaurant since we couldn't get dinner reservations there! 


 The entrance to the restaurant

 Beautiful stained glass window near the entrance
 Then we rode the carousel!
 And waited in line to meet Merida!


 Then we met Mr and Mrs Easter Bunny!

 We had dinner reservations at the Crystal Palace!  Notice Will attacking Eeyore!



 Again notice Will shreaking to meet Tigger!


 He LOVED all the characters!
 and we couldn't leave without stopping by to see Mickey Mouse! Will reached in a gave Mickey a huge slobbery kiss on his nose but we didn't catch it on camera.  But I did wipe Mickey's nose off for him!
Another super fun day at WDW!

Day 6, Hollywood Studios


It was a chilly day but Cara put on her new zip up hoodie and we headed to Hollywood Studios



 She had been asking to get her face painted every day so we decided to let her this day!
 We had lunch reservations at Mama Melrose's

 Cara's dessert was a spaghetti and meatball cupcake!  She didn't like it but I did! We traded dessert!
 In honor of Indiana getting 12 inches of snow while we were gone Cara posed with this snowman!
 In line to ride Tower of Terror!  Cara's first time and she loved it!

 Our chilly day ended with an even chillier evening but we snuggled to watch Fantasmic!
 A great water, character and firework show!
 Happy kids heading back out to ride Toy Story one more time! Scott took Will to meet Buzz and Woody while Cara and I were riding Toy Story! We have some great pictures on our Disney CD that is coming in the mail that I will have to post at a later date!
Our happy family enjoyed a wonderful day at HS!

Disney Day 5, Chef Mickey's

One of Cara's favorite character meals is Chef Mickey's!  A delicious breakfast buffet is served and Mickey Mouse waffles are so good!  

 Cara and her best friend Minnie Mouse!
 I loved that the characters all paid attention to both of the kids here!
 Hi Goofy!

 Will thought Pluto was hilarious!

 We tried to grab Will's sippy cup for a picture and he got upset.  So Donald grabbed it from Scott and started feeding it to Will!

 Then Scott grabbed it back and Will was not having it!
So fine sippy in the picture it is!

After a yummy breakfast we took the monorail over to the ticket and transportation center to lost and found in search of our diaper bag!  Lo and behold they had it!  Hurray!  And every single thing was still in it including Cara's wallet!  Amazing!  So thankful to have it back! Although I was eyeing different bags for sale at the gift shops just in case I had to buy a new one, haha!


We headed back to our hotel for an afternoon nap and swimming!
 Then an evening trip to Downtown Disney for some shopping!

Will and I on the boat to DD from our resort!

Disney day 4, Magic Kingdom

We headed over to Downtown Disney to turn Cara into a Princess at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique!
2 Fairy Godmothers were busy making her more beautiful!
Thank you Godmother!

After we left Downtown Disney we hopped on a bus to the Grand Floridian to get on the monorail to go to the Magic Kingdom.  Shortly after we got on the bus it started torrentially downpouring with horrific winds and the weather looked not so good.  We pulled up the weather on the radar to see that we were under tornado warnings and in a "red" spot on the radar.  So once we got to the Grand Floridian we ran off the bus and into the hotel for more dry and comfortable conditions.  It took us a few minutes to realize we left the diaper bag on the bus, uh oh!  Epic Fail!  So we ended up buying a package of diapers at the gift shop and were going to make do with what we had for the day and hope the transportation department could find the diaper bag.  My cell phone, camera and wallet happened to be in my pockets so nothing of true value (except for Cara's wallet containing $39) was inside the bag.  

Our destination for the rest of the day was the Magic Kingdom!  We had an early dinner reservation at Cinderella's Castle!

Cinderella kissed Will's cheek!  It was so cute!  She loved talking to him.  We were the last family to arrive at our dining time slot so she spent A LOT of time with us.  We even left her spot to sit on the bench as directed and she came over to keep talking to us.  It was so nice and Will was doing quite a good job of flirting with her!

Time to eat at the Royal Table!
Aurora gave Will another kiss, he was collecting Princess kisses that day!
Snow White did not add to his collection!
Neither did Jasmine!



Time to explore the new Fantasyland!
We met Ariel in her Grotto!
We rode Dumbo!
We talked to Dasiy
and Minnie Mouse!

Because of the hard afternoon rain the park was not crowded at all.  We rode everything and had a blast.  Grandma and Grandpa took Will back to the hotel about 8:00 and Scott, Cara and I stayed and rode a ton of rides!  I was done about 10:30 and headed back to the hotel but Scott and Cara stayed until almost midnight!
Cara rode Space Mountain for the first time and loved it!

Ice cream treats at 10 pm!  Love vacation!
