Ready to go!
Poor Paige, I didn't have any dress up clothes for her! She didn't seem to mind.
We got back just in time for the parade, where every character that approached Olivia curtsied to her, even the ones on silts!
Paige got lots of attention, too:
Obligatory picture in front of the castle:
Posing in front of New Fantasyland:
She was so stinking excited. We got to castle, checked in and headed inside to get the girls pictures made with Cinderella. We got copies included with our meal, so the only picture I have is from my phone:
Anyway, this was my view of Olivia across the table for the majority of the meal:
I don't think she ate one bite the entire meal. We were sitting on the left side of the restaurant. The princesses started in the middle and worked their way around the room. She kept her eyes on them the entire time! The first princess at our table was Snow White:
Paige liked the princesses:
Next was Sleeping Beauty:
It was amazing how well they stayed in character. Olivia was in awe and not talking much. Ariel asked her if she traded her voice for human legs, ha!
She loved getting their autographs and meeting each one. She told Jasmine that she is her favorite, which is funny, because I don't think she's ever seen Aladdin.
It was definitely one of the highlights of the trip for Olivia! We made it out in time to catch the electrical parade and fireworks. Disney goes all out for everything! We loved it!
We slept in the next morning (ha! as much as possible with 2 kids) and relaxed at the pool.
We took it easy during the day, because we had a late night planned! We were there for the first night of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party. Disney has the party twice a week until Halloween. It.was.awesome!!! First, I talked everyone into wearing this:
I still can't believe Michael wore it! In my research (ha!), I read that many people dress up for the party. It was way too hot for a heavy costume, so I made these. We got lots of compliments! Disney sells a limited number of tickets to the party, so the crowd was almost non-existent! We walked onto every ride. We were handed a bag when we entered to go trick or treating, which were stations set up around the park with cast members handing out handfuls of candy. Olivia loved it! Michael and I did, too, because we got to ride the big rides while Mamaw and Papaw took the girls trick or treating!
One of Olivia's requests was to meet Tinkerbell, so we got in a short line at Pixie Hollow and got to meet Tink and Vidia:
Vidia took a liking to Papaw:
Getting Tinkerbell's autograph:
Funnel cake break- Daddy's request:
We headed to Enchanted Tales with Belle, which is the new attraction in Fantasyland. First, we walked around Belle's cottage:
Then, we were invited inside to act out Belle and the Beast's story. Papaw was picked for a part right away!
Olivia volunteered, too:
They acted out the story for Belle, then got to take their picture together:
We rode a few more rides and Paige finally passed out. I was able to transfer her to the stroller, thank goodness!
We headed to Main St. to get a get spot for the parade. We had some time to kill, so I took Olivia to meet more princesses! Rapunzel, Snow White, and Cinderella were signing autographs with their princes, which doesn't happen very often:
We hurried back in time to see the headless horseman ride down Main Street:
The parade was great!
It was close to midnight when it was over. Olivia really wanted to see Mickey and Minnie in their costumes, though, so we made another quick stop:
We finally headed back to the hotel, exhausted! Papaw had been fighting a cold for a few days and gave us a scare having trouble breathing after carrying Olivia up a flight of stairs. When he was feeling better, we decided to tone down our trip a little, ha! We had been going nonstop since we arrived.
Looks like this is turning into a 3 (maybe 4!) part series! Stay tuned...
