Day 6

A sorta day of 'rest' being a Saturday I expected the parks to be a bit more crowded...so I planned the Bibbity Boppity Boutique and then lunch at the castle...since we really did most everything the other day at the park and then our favorite rides the night at the park, we didn't need to spend much time at magic kingdom...we did miss Toon Town...and I did want to spend a bit of time there...so we got to the park about 10a...we did miss rope drop walking through to get to toon town, but we stopped for a castle pic by the photopass people... it was trying to rain and they get scarce with the rain, so i wanted to be sure and do it! and sure enough about the time we get to Minnie's house POURING...we walk through and wait on the rain some...we run over to the 'judges' tent - I figure if we were going to wait out the rain we could stand in line for characters...well about 5 mins and the rain is gone..so we head over to Mickey's house..and then the barnstormer - a small 'kiddie' roller coaster, it was a walk on and after we decided to get daddy to ride...well as SOON as we get to the front they close for lightening...it has started raining but just a drizzle...it continued through about noon... We had some time so we got FPs to Winnie the Pooh and while McKinlee and I headed over to the BBB Chris gets some for Buzz Lightyear...since that is Tanners Favorite...McKinlee and i go to the Castle so she can become the princess that she already it...first stopping at Snow Whites wishing well....then to the castle...they were a bit behind on our noon appointment and I was getting worried about our 1p lunch reservation, but we were in by 12:15 so maybe we will make it...


about to go...
the transformation starts!! getting changed into the princess gown...
Beautiful sweetheart!! *loved the shield not to get hair spray or *pixie* dust in the eyes!!
and Voila...and beautiful Belle - McKinlee :D
Chris and Tanner had gotten to the castle ... I told him a bit early and he just stood outside, so he wasn't to happy...but it was right at 1pm so we walked right into Cinderella's Royal Table...had to wait on Cindy a bit, but we did get a pic finally! :)ate some decent food, not super great but its the "place" and the "princess" you go for ;) Tanner got talked to by 2 princesses about guarded his sister and how special she is...Belle even made him shake on it!! ;) Belle also asked McKinlee if she was getting into her closet *hehe* OH and Aurora brushed Chris' arm and made him blush a bit!! ;) The dessert was super yummy...tanner and mckinlee both Loved the Chocolate crown..After lunch we did the pooh ride, with out Fast Pass...
And then Buzz...
you can't really take a pic of me and tanner and still see Buzz, so I took a pic of the TV screen..

Chris, Tanner and I took the monorail over to the Grand Floridian on Friday and McKinlee wasn't so happy that she didn't get to go...so we decided we would take the Monorail to Epcot..as we go to leave there is a big traffic jam...I was like well I bet it is 3 o clock...and sure enough - Parade time and since there was no way we were getting out then, what else can we do?? WATCH the parade...so we did...I hadn't planned on it as Chris isn't much on them ... but it was fun to the kids and I ...

After the parade we hit the monorail...and off to Epcot...

get another stoller (these did come in super handy and you just return and show your stamp at the next park and they give you another one!)

Chris REALLY wanted to go back the hotel, but you know me...Im a go go go'er and frankly the kids were so loud in the little hotel room, i prefered the park...we did stop for a bit at innovations the kids got to drive a "trash" truck and play games...we did this and a puzzle game. Cast members were super impressed with a princess pushing a trash truck ;)we headed to the worlds but got as far as Mexico (the 1st world ;) ) we got to see Donald...but with an unhappy daddy we decide to have dinner and head back to the hotel...we did have a SUPER early day tomorrow...we get off the bus stop 1 (the resturants) and get a refill of coffee and so the walk back to our hotel we play some on the "beach" the kiddos loved the hamocks
