Friday

We headed for the park early for our reservation for breakfast with Minnie and Friends. I highly recommend splurging for at least one of the overpriced character meals...spending the money saved us a ton of time since all the characters come to your table to meet and greet. The girls filled their autograph books and they were thrilled to see everyone...especially Cinderella's fairy godmother and Minnie Mouse. Tigger played peek-a-boo with Brooke to try to win her affection.


Brooke with Cinderella's Fairy Godmother...this is one of the people she warmed up to right away. Probably because Fairy Godmother was a little less intimidating then Tigger!The park was busier this day as it was heading into the weekend and we discovered the beauty of the Fast Pass...essentially the HOV lane for roller coasters. We learned that Baileigh is a roller coaster junkie. She went on space mountain 4 times! Mckenna never turned down a ride either and was disappointed she wasn't taller so she could ride space mountain, too.

That evening we went to Ariel's Grotto for a character dinner. You pay too much for average food but during the meal all the princesses make the rounds and visit you at your table and sign your autograph book. I think this was the highlight of the trip for the girls. They got to meet Ariel, Cinderella, Bell, Aurora (aka Sleeping Beauty), and Snow White. Baileigh noticed and commented several times that Jasmin wasn't there. Does anything get past her?
I will hear about this moment frequently in the months to come!
We spent a full day at the park and stumbled back to our hotel room exhausted. Vacation? Not sure about that, but we're having fun!
