Disney World: Day 4

The Girls got to wake up on their own.  When they woke up, they were let in on a little surprise that they got to wear a princess dress to breakfast {thank you, Lucy for sharing!! and thank you Nana and Gpa for the early birthday present for Libby!}

Our reservations weren't until 9:45 so we were able to go to Magic Kingdom and meet Aurora {Sleeping Beauty} and Cinderella, as well as ride on the horses, their favorite ride!

Libby's Favorite
Nice hand placement by Sally ;)





Glasses, this time so we didn't have to worry about our eyes :)



We caught the monorail to Epcot to get ready for our breakfast with the Princesses 

at this point they had no idea the princess would be in there


You're greeted by a princess when you first walk in, to Sally's delight, it was Belle--her favorite!

They got to twirl!!

This picture was enlarged and put in a special book as a keepsake from the restaurant


Waiting for the Princess Procession to start

Each Princess Stopped by the table for a visit and a picture!

Snow White

Aurora and Ariel {thankful we waited to meet the other Ariel...}


Ariel

Cinderella

So excited

Blowing kisses
We figured the lines wouldn't be as long at Epcot to meet Mickey and Minnie and Goofy.  We were right, it was only about 5 minutes.  Unfortunately the child in front of us was crying and scared, so it made Libby a little weary of them. 

Waiting in Line--thanks Tiff for the adorable matching shirts!!


Not so sure



Goofy even tried to play peek-a-boo to make it better






We met up with the crew at Hollywood Studios to take turns with our fast passes on the big kid rides :)

The girls did a great job just hanging out while we did a roller coaster and Tower of Terror

Aerosmith's Rockin' Roller Coaster!

Love Reid's face

More hanging

Heading in for the Tower of Terror

We spoted LSU's basketball team being filmed as they did Tower of Terror

We noticed that Sofia was coming for a meet and greet so we waited to meet her before heading back to the hotel for naps

Of course she left for a pee break right when it was our turn.  She was only there for 20 minutes before she took this break...








Heading up to put suits on for a quick swim before nap time!

They even got to practice jumping in!
We opted for later naps because we knew they would be up late to watch the fireworks!

I don't remember what this place was called, but I had some yummy shrimp! Libby being a nut
 We scored some good spots for the Electric Parade.  Sally recognized this parade as it is advertised on Disney Junior!

In awe!

Watching the light show on the Castle!

Wishes--Spectacular!

Loving it


Crashed

Loving her light up star!
Everyone was out like a light.  The next day was pack up and head out!

Disney World: Day 3

The day we did 3 parks in one day!

We tried to catch an early bus to squeeze in a ride before our breakfast at Whispering Canyon, but the bus schedule had another idea :)

We took the bus to Magic Kingdom and then the Ferry to Wilderness Lodge for our breakfast at Whispering Canyon :)

The girls finally got to wake up on their own as it wasn't a super duper early morning :) They did great sharing a room!
On the Ferry

Nana and Grandpa, always helping with one of the grandkids :)

Whispering Canyon is known for the servers being a little silly.  If you ever go, make sure you ask for some Ketchup!  Uncle Marc found out that you have to shout for it and anyone with ketchup brings it to your table, but then you have to return the favor if someone else needs Ketchup!
Waiting for the Ferry to return to Magic Kingdom
We noticed a short line to meet Tiana, so the girls got to meet her too!





There was a shorter line to go under the sea on the Little Mermaid ride, so we did that with the crew. 

Afterward, Sally decided she wanted to wait in line to meet Ariel, and I'm so glad we did.  It was the best memory for her from the trip!



We met up with the crew for some lunch



and then a quick ride on the Pooh ride



Before catching the Monorail for Animal Kingdom we stood in line to meet Merida {Brave}.  The girls did a great job being patient!

This is what no nap looks like :)





We picked up the monorail and headed over to Animal Kingdom for the Safari! {Thankful for another fast pass as the wait would have been over an hour!}




Crocodiles!


Elephant in the background

Daddy Lion!

Next we headed to the Festival of the Lion King!  The girls and grandparents were in awe! It was similar to Cirque Du Soleil.  Libby stayed awake for all of it, but as soon as we started walking to head to the bus, this happened :)


Sally earned herself a Mickey Ice Cream Treat!
We gave the girls dinner at the hotel and then right to bed so the big kids could go to dinner while Nana and Grandpa babysat!



We headed over to Epcot to see what we could find to eat


We headed to Nine Dragons for some Chinese food.  We expected a little bit of a wait, but to our surprise it was 30 seconds max!!  We treated ourselves to one of each due to our meal plan and shared :)



We watched a little bit of the light show and headed to the ride, Soarin', very cool and very fun!

Reid and I continued on to the Test Track put on my Chevy, so fun!!

And then ended our night with Spaceship Earth.  Here's a look in to our future :)


What a great day it was!

Day 4 we also tackled 3 parks, ate breakfast with the princesses and found time to go swimming!
