Princesses and pools

Wednesday was the day for breakfast with Cinderella and her friends. I love having a reservation before the park opens and walking down main street essentially by yourself. I got some great shots of the castle but every darn picture was fogged from the condensation on the lens. Way to humid at 8AM to have that happen!



Breakfast was fun and Josie was treated like royalty. She enjoyed her interaction with Cinderella and her time with Snow White, Ariel, Sleeping Beauty and Belle. She was then surprised with a cupcake and signed birthday card from the princesses. Very fun breakfast!


We made the mad dash to meet Rapunzel immediately after breakfast. Luckily we were a part of the first group and Josie enjoyed coloring some pictures while waiting for Rapunzel to arrive. Right after leaving Rapunzel we ran into White Rabbit (no Alice- bummer!) and then headed for some rides while lines were low. We got a few runs on Tea Cups, Winnie the Pooh, Snow White and Pirates (even got to meet Pirate Goofy!) but ran out of luck when Splash Mountain went down before we even got in line. With the temps on the rise we decided to grab fast passes and head back to the hotel for some time at the pool.


We ventured down to the French Quarter Resort and Josie really enjoyed the pool and water slide. She must have gone down that thing 25 times! We enjoyed some cool "beverages" and had a good time in the sun without having to stand in line.



A quick shower and change had us heading back to Magic Kingdom for the evening. We were able to use our Splash Mountain fast passes and got a couple of times in on Big Thunder Mountain as well. Pretty hot and pretty crowded so we took our time getting around and stuck to some low key activities like the People Mover. Then it was finally time for our dessert party reservations! We were escorted to a front row table, grabbed an assortment of desserts and enjoyed watching the Electrical Parade while chowing down. The "Magic, Memories and You" show was awesome (wish we could see it again this trip) and the Wishes firework show was amazing. We had a great unobstructed view and got to see Tinkerbell fly right over our heads. The disaster of trying to get on the bus at the end of the night took away a bit of the magic but overall we'd do the dessert party again in a heartbeat.




Thursday's agenda: Animal Kingdom and more pool time!
