We began our first day in Orlando visiting the Maingate church of Christ. The church met at a Baymont Suites just about 1 mile from the maingate, and very convenient. I think we were also having camera problems as these pictures seem like they fit a widescreen. After church we parked at the hotel and walked over to the Magic Kingdom. That is still kind of neat to say.
Fast Pass Plans for the day
- Enchanted Tales with Belle (1:55 PM)
- Peter Pan's Flight (3:10 PM)
- Thunder Mountain (5:00 PM)
Lunch Reservations - Crystal Palace 11:45 AM
This is the first time I have seen SO MUCH construction around the magic kingdom. We also had a giant crane working on the castle during the morning. Maybe Magan can photoshop that out on any pictures we print out. As we walked in Princess Cinderella (Belle) had to hold her dress as the princesses do. She was in full princess mode all week, and I believe Magan packed a full suitcase of nothing but dresses and princess onesies for the girls.
The crystal Palace is probably our favorite place to eat, and it knocks off a few characters on the list of ones to see. The steak is really good, and bread pudding...is a must.
Our enchanted session with Belle had...Belle as one of the salt and pepper shakers. We tried to get Davis to participate, but I guess he was too embarrassed after being the beast last time. Sam...Do you even have to ask? I really don't know when Magan found time to visit Tinkerbell, but they did, and I was not there, but Magan said she was almost overbearingly perky...
I love this picture and the one later with Sam holding Belle's hand. Of course there were many fights, and trials of our patience, but they had to keep up with Belle for Magan this week, and they both did well keeping Belle with the pack of Junkins. Baby Cinderella was just the hit of DisneyWorld for everyone walking by...I have to admit, she is pretty adorable.
Our first ride of the day was the 3D movie Philharmagic, and always fun to wear the glasses. Magan later found a parasol to protect little Ruby from that hot sun. And we found out that Fastpasses, now limited to three a day, were extremely valuable, as lines to It's a Small World were 50 minutes...Crazy! And the line to the Little Mermaid ride which was very easy during the soft opening in 2012, was a crazy long 30 minute line for keeping up with ruby and three other pestering kids. :)
OK it does not take much, but give Belle a tiara, and put her in front of a camera, and she was dancing and posing for Magan. These are only 2 of many.
Magan let Belle pick out her own parasol as a present, but Belle did not want one for herself, but told her Mom in a whisper that she wanted to get a "humbrella" for a "hurprise" for pooh. "He will love it" she told us. And she would not take it out of the bag once we got it because it was a "hurprise for pooh". "He will be so excited when he sees it" she said. Belle turned on her dress as it got dark that night and it glowed and played music. And when we finally got home that night, I think she was right, Pooh just loved his new "humbrella".
