Disney Girls Trip {Day 3}

Day three started bright an early. We let the girls wear princess dresses today. 

Sally and Carol Hannah were mistaken for the real Snow White and Sleeping Beauty and were asked for their autograph from a cast member...so sweet!!


Waiting for the bus!



Our little princesses at Magic Kingdom!!


We headed to Fantasyland and rode Under the Sea with Ariel and then went right next door to meet her. This is Sally's favorite and she loves getting to sit in the shell. 



We also had a visit with Merida. Sally got to shoot a bow and arrow!!




We stopped by Pixie Hollow to meet Tinkerbelle!


Sally had to try on a hat at every shop we stopped in :)


We also ran into some baby ducks with their mama outside Pirates of the Caribbean. Sally was feeding them her goldfish crackers.


My little pirate!! We love this ride!!


We headed over to the Polynesian resort for dinner at Ohana. It was fabulous as usual!!


They start you off with pineapple bread.


Next they bring out a yummy salad.


Next up are potstickers and sticky chicken wings...


and then noodles and veggies. 


Make sure to save room for the Pineapple Bread Pudding with Ice Cream!!


They also brought out brownie cupcakes sprinkled with mickey shaped sprinkles for the girls. 



After our bellies were super full we went back into Magic Kingdom to watch Celebrate the Magic and Wishes. It was amazing as always!




Sally passed out while waiting or the bus. 


I think you could call that a successful day!!

Disney Girls Trip- Day 2

Day 2 started bright and early. Being there for the "Good Morning" show is super magical and we knew we wanted to be there early enough to see it. 


The girls were so ready!!! The adorable dresses are from Fleur L'enfant. I'll be honest and tell you that these were a special release but you can sometimes find them on the BST page. We got so many compliments on the dresses and it was fun to see the mamas who recognized the brand :)


And yes...we were those crazy mama's with the girls by ourselves. People said we were brave! They were right!!


My girl in her happy place!


Here is a part of the Good Morning show. If you go to the Magic Kingdom, please experience this at least once. It's just so magical and a great way to start your day!!





It was a super foggy day but we needed to stop and get a picture in front of the castle before the crowds took over. Taking a picture of these three was like herding cats. It was impossible to get them all to look and smile at the camera at the same time. We did our best :)




Here I am....pregnant at Disney!


We took the girls to meet Rapunzel and Cinderella. 



Rode all our favorites in Fantasyland!






Me and Sally on Small World!


We had lunch at Be Our Guest so I had to get the chocolate cupcake. So Yummy!

After lunch we rode a few more of our favorites! Sally was soon excited that she was finally big enough to ride Seven Dwarfs Mine Train! Sadly, I wasn't able to ride since I am pregnant, so she rode with Aunt Meredith. 


In the afternoon, we grabbed a spot for the Festival of Fantasy parade. It's amazing, not to be missed, and best enjoyed with a Mickey Mouse ice cream bar!

When in Rome...



I love watching Sally watch the parade. She was so sweet blowing kisses to all the princesses and characters. 




For dinner, we headed over to the Contemporary Resort for dinner at Chef Mickeys. Its just classic Disney and the girls love it!

The food is pretty good for a buffet...lots of choices!! The best thing is that the characters come around and you know you will meet Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto without waiting in lines. Just make sure you have your camera and autograph book ready to go!





Day #1 in the parks was a success!! We had three tired little girls and three VERY tired mamas!!

Disney AEP: Day 6

After going to bed the night before at about 3:45am, I was shocked that I was able to drag myself out of bed so early the next morning. I had to...because we had a pre park opening breakfast reservation at Be Our Guest.

Being in the park before the crowds is nice. I always like to stop and take a picture in front of the castle. 



 As you can see...empty!! Only people with breakfast reservations get in early.







After we entered Be Our Guest, we made our selections using the touch screen. 


Its seat your self for breakfast so we took pictures in a few of the different rooms. 




Marci Jo was needing two coffees this morning!


They serve a plate of pastries with every order. So....if you want one plate per person, have everyone order and pay separately. Just a little trick. We boxed these up and snacked on them throughout the day.


I ordered the Cronut. It was ok....not worth the $20 in my opinion. 







One of the big reasons for getting an early breakfast is that you can make a mad dash for the ride you really want to do and ride it before the crowds are let in the park. That was the plan at least but today it didnt work like that. We made our way over to Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and there was a working holding us in a  special area. Ad we were waiting for him to release us, we saw another working leading the guests from main entrance right to the line. We were mad. After talking with guest relations, they gave us a fast pass to use later.

Oh well...time for rides. We did all the mountains, Dumbo, Peter Pan, Small World, Winnie the Pooh, Haunted Mansion, Little Mermaid. 







Then it was time for lunch. We headed to Columbia Harbor House. 
I had actually never been to this Quick Service spot and I loved it.



I ordered the chicken nuggets with broccoli. It was yummy and hit the spot!


I also stopped into a shop and these shirts for me and Joe..I couldn't resist!!


We decided to head back to the hotel for a little nap. We knew we would need it in order to do late magic hours again. We stopped at the snack bar at Polynesian and got Dole Whips. These are my favorite treat at Disney!


We made it back to the room just in time. The bottom dropped out of the sky and it POURED!! Thats central Florida for you. It was perfect napping weather.


After a few hours we were up at 'em again. Back to Magic Kingdom for round 2!






We met Cinderella and Rapunzel!




Then we headed over to Be Our Guest for our dinner reservation. I know...Be Our Guest twice in one day? We are CRAZY!

Although Be Our Guest is quick service for breakfast and lunch, at dinner its a sit down meal and you MUST have reservations. 

We were seated in the main ballroom and I love how the napkins were rolled like the beasts rose. 
Its all these little details that make Disney so special. 



They served us French rolls with sea salt butter..yum!


I felt like I needed something green so I ordered a dinner salad. It was light and tasty!


As we were waiting on main courses, our waiter came over to chat. He told us that the cherubs on the ceiling were actually the faces of all the creators of this restaurant. Pretty neat!



I ordered the chicken for dinner and it was great!


We were too full from dessert but the waiter brought over some "grey stuff" for us to try. 





After dinner, you get to meet the Beast. He was HUGE!


After Be Our Guest we rode Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and all the mountains. 



We shut down the park again. As we were getting ready to leave I decided I really wanted a Mickey ice cream bar since I hadn't had one yet. I couldn't find one :(

The man who was helping me just handed me a Mickey ice cream sandwich and said "enjoy!". Just a touch of Disney magic! It wasn't what I wanted but it was pretty good. 



We pretty much passed out as soon as our heads hit the pillows.
