Magic Kingdom Day 2

This was one of my very favorite days!  Michael and I had made reservations for us and Eden to have a breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table inside Cinderella's castle at Magic Kingdom.  We had a reservation for 8:15am so we had to leave our place super early to be sure to be there on time.  Thank goodness too because Michael's ticket messed up that morning so we had to get it taken care of before they would let him in.  We got to the park when there were no lines and very few other breakfast eaters there.  It was so quite and beautiful!!!  Eden got dressed up that morning and I let her wear a little make up and dress up some.  She was SO EXCITED!!!  We all thought the breakfast was great!  Eden LOVED it!!!  We got to see Cinderella, Snow White, Aurora, Ariel, and Jasmine at the breakfast.

Right after breakfast we left the castle and were able to head right into the new Fantasyland and get in line for Enchanted Tales with Belle.  We were the first group for the day.  Eden got to be a salt shaker for the enactment.  She thought that was great and enjoyed getting her picture taken with Belle.  Then we got to do Peter Pan's Flight, It's a Small World, and Mickey's PhilharMagic show.  Then we ran over to meet Tiana and Tinker Bell .  By this time it was around 11 or so and my parents and Harper met up with us.  We went and did a few things again with my parents and Harper.  Then we went and rode the Barnstormer roller coaster twice and met Minnie Mouse and Daisy.  Eden didn't want to wait again for Donald and Goofy=)  My mom, Eden, and I rode the Mad Tea Party teacups!  Eden LOVED it and mom and I were both feeling it when we got off;)  After that we rode the Tomorrowland Speedway.  Michael barely fit in the car and my poor dad rode with Eden who was driving all over the place, ha.  She was so funny!

That evening we got dinner and staked out our seats for the electrical parade and the Wishes Nighttime Spectacular!  Eden met a little girl named Molly that she played with the whole evening while waiting around for those to start and between them.  We LOVED the Nighttime Spectacular show and the fireworks.  It was truly amazing!  We were so tired that night from such a long day.  It took us hours to get back to our hotel because everyone was leaving at the same time.  That was the only bummer.

PS:  If you ever go to Disney, go during a birthday or some type of celebration.  Eden got to wear a button all week that said "Happy Birthday, Eden" and each and every staff member when they see it will say, "Happy Birthday, Eden" and she got lots of super special attention from everyone.  It made our trip priceless (more on that later)!

Snow White was stunning!

Eden loved Ariel's gown at breakfast.  She wants one!

I think Jasmine was her favorite at the breakfast.  She paid so much attention to Eden and Eden just ate it up=)

Look at Michael, his poor legs where squashed in everything.

Our pictures from the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Ride.  Michael and I are super competitive can't you tell?

Eden dancing with Goofy.  She walked right up to him and grabbed his hand and started dancing with him.  She can be fearless at times!

Harper getting a snack, hence her not screaming in the stroller;)

We LOVED the fireworks and show.  It really was MAGICAL!

Magic Kingdom Day 1

Tuesday we went to Magic Kingdom.  The crowds were bad that day even though they said they shouldn't have been and it took us a long time just to get into the park with all the lines for bag checks and for monorail/ferry boat to get to the park.  We finally got in and saw where Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan were there with their morning show.  No wonder it was busy=)  We went up Main Street to head straight to Fantasyland.  It was slammed but we knew it would only get worst.  Our first ride was the Under the Sea~Journey of the Little Mermaid.  Eden loved it and then we got to meet Ariel and get her autograph and photo.  The Enchanted Tales with Belle had a huge line so we bypassed it until Wednesday.  We rode Dumbo next and it was fun.  Harper and Eden both really liked it.  Eden rode the carousal and wanted to do it over and over.

We grabbed a bite to eat and then did the Monsters, Inc Laugh Floor which we all enjoyed.  The Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin was awesome too.  Harper did great with all the shows and rides but HATED the stroller.  She would scream each and EVERY time we put her in it.  We got all kinds of looks that week of people staring at the screaming toddler in the stroller;)  Eden would get so mad at everyone staring but never really at Harper for screaming.

We did the princess meetings at the Town Square Theater and then met Mickey Mouse there too before the Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade.  Eden LOVED the parades.  All the characters would wave and come over to her.  She was in heaven.  After the parade, we went to ride the Pirates of the Caribbean with Eden.  My parents took Harper to ride the train around the park.  That night we left around dinner time because I knew Eden had to get up early for her special morning the next day.

Walking into the park on Tuesday morning!  One of the few pictures of Harper not screaming in the stroller.  I rented the double stroller from Orlando Stroller Rentals and they were awesome!  We loved the stroller and their service!  We highly recommend it!

Cinderella greeting Harper!  Harper wasn't quite sure what to think about all the characters she saw that week.  She liked them but didn't want to get too close!

 Eden and Cinderella

 Eden and Ariel after the ride.

 Aurora with Eden during the meet and greet!

 We decided instead of an autograph book we would have everyone sign a matte for a frame.  It turned out awesome!!  Rapunzel was playing with them and having fun!  Those princesses sure are quick witted.  

 Rapunzel was her favorite from this day!

 LOVE!!!

 Meeting Mickey Mouse!  So fun!  Harper loves Mickey but sure wouldn't get to close.
