Side note: A commercial for Disney World just came on and I got a little teary-eyed. I LOVED this trip so much and can't wait to go back!!!!
Day 2 was such a great day! We were up and out early so we could be at Magic Kingdom when it opened! And I'm so happy we did! A train (choo choo to Caitlin) pulls up to the front with all the characters who sing and dance, shoot off fireworks (why not??) and open the doors. The excitement is INSANE!!!
We made it!!!!! Magic Kingdom!
My 2 Minnies
I love the sign beneath the charachters...Let the Memories Begin! So true!!!!
Our first sighting of the castle. Abigail was in awe as we got closer and closer and it got bigger and bigger!
We did take some pictures in front, but they are on my photopass. Photopass is a card you get and give it to the professional photographers all over the parks. Then, when you get home, you have all the pictures on 1 place. I think we had 100 pictures on ours. But we quickly learned that they will take the pictures with your own camera too!
Our first ride was Winnie the Pooh. And our second. And our third....it was fun!!!!
We also hit the race cars. I laugh now just thinking of how hard the girls laughed on this ride. The cars go "crazy" if you don't control them..I'm talking whip-lash crazy...and of course the girls are so little, the cars went nuts. We figured we may have to change a diaper on Caitlin after all the laughing! ;)
We'll be back!!!!!
Sometime this morning, we learned what it meant to "meet a princess". So fun! I sort of figured the girls wouldn't be too into it so we'd meet one or two. But I was wrong. They LOVED it. Abigail really really loved it! Caitlin LOVED Rapunzel...so we were happy!
One thing Rob and I were surprised with was how long they spent with each family. I thought we'd be rushed in and out after an hour wait....but they didn't. They really talked to each kid and made them feel so special!
Running to Rapunzel
HUGS
Again, the photographer took ones with his camera, so we have to go look at them too!
After Rapunzel, the girls were hooked! So next we ran into Ariel..and waited again!
I had brought pipe cleaners for the girls to play with in line. I got that tip and it was great cause kids could play with them forever. So while we waited for Ariel (probably 30 minutes...characters have LONG lines, and this was off season) the girls played with pipe cleaners. Apparently, princesses like pipe cleaners too! :)
Caitlin freaked out with Prince Eric (and every character after...Thanks Eric)...but he was great. He actually moved on the other side of Ariel so Caitlin wasn't afraid!
Ariel made a heart with a pipe cleaner. Then Eric made a fish. Then, you bet right, the girls fought over who got the heart! :)
Caitlin's "cheese....but with eyes on Eric! Abigail was just in awe of every prince and princess!
We hit a choo choo for Caitlin!
Daddy's girl
And then we decided to head back for nap....
one tired baby! No one said Disney World would be easy!
After naps at the hotel, we got ready for our dinner with the princesses. We couldn't get into the castle dinner, but we went to Cinderella's dinner at 1900 Park Fare in the Grand Floridian. It was really fun to see the different resorts...and take the boat there!
Heading to dinner!!!!
And I know I have a lot of pics, but I have to show these from the Cinderella dinner. The characters were hilarious and had us laughing the whole time. Also, if you heard screaming here in Chicago, that was Caitlin all the way from Orlando! So here are pics...of Abigail! ;)
Cindy
Step Mom..she stayed in this character for hours! :)
Step Sister
Our favorite!!!! So funny!!!!!!
After dinner, we headed back to Magic Kingdom for a few more rides and more princesses!!!!
Caitlin waiting while mommy makes a pit stop for Tylenol (poor Abigail had a fever half of the trip). For those heading to Disney, there are Child Care Centers at each park. There you can warm up bottles, change and feed babies, and buy supplies!!! Tylenol...Check!
Let's Go!!!!!
We had to make a stop to find Mickey ears. It was on my "Must Do" List! We got to the ears store...and as you might imagine, they don't just sell one set of ears. They sell hundreds! Caitlin wanted to basic Mickey Ears, which made us so excited!!!! Abigail, on the other hand, wanted the pink ears with the tiara and veil. It really made Rob and I cringe, but hey, it's her day!!!
Oh yeah, one side note...there was A LOT closed at Disney because it was off season. But they really try to make up by doing "Magical Moments". You never know when one might happen to you. We were checking out with the girls' ears and the girls got their names embroidered for free...Magical Moment.
After getting our hats, we were off to meet more princesses. This time, we had a fast pass and walked right up to the front!
Belle
Aurora x 2
Daddy got himself a giant sucker...and then "Magical Moment"...the girls got ones for free!
Daddy ate...A LOT...on the trip. Cotton Candy, Candy, Suckers...you name it, he ate it!
A few more rides...
People Mover-Caitlin yelled "Whee" the whole time
Waiting for Daddy on Space Mountain
We watched fireworks. There was no Electrical Parade (bummer) but the fireworks were so magical. Abigail was so excited as Tinkerbell flew right over our heads!
A great day at Disney...
dreaming of princesses!!!!
Up Next: Day 3-Animal Kingdom
