DAY 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(those were for you merlinmatt )

Magic Kingdom

Up early and ready to go! We have a PS at Crystal Palace and breakfast with Pooh.
Everyone was very excited and it was easy to get going today. Our PS was for 8:05 at CP!
We loved just being able to hop on the monorail and go. As we walked up to the PS line I felt a smile go over my entire face It was like a dream and as I looked at my family they all had the same look on their faces too!

We entered the park and headed up Main street just in awe of the castle the whole way. We headed over to CP and went right in. The Breakfast was awesome as usual! I think that CP has great food any time of day. The characters came right away to our table, within 10 minutes we had seen 3 of the 4 and they had kinda hung out with us that whole time because there were not very many people in the restaurant. Pooh stayed up in the middle, so we went up there while there were few people. The character interaction was great in CP! My kids love the pooh characters and my fav is Eeyore.

Eeyore kept coming back to hug us and that made mine and my DD day. Tigger kept stealing my son's fork and just had him laughing the whole time. It was a great breakfast!
Afterwards we had to use the restroom right there and my DS left his autograph/photo album, that I made him, in there. And we did not realize it until much later and it was gone! We were very sad.
Anyway after CP breakfast we headed towards the castle, AND there was no one around still!! We got awesome pictures of the castle and Walt and Mickey. I got goose bumps standing there looking at it.
We headed to Fantasyland and Mickey's PhilharmagicWe loved it!! Best 3-D attraction ever! MMM MMMM MMMMMM Apple pie!
We sat in the middle of the auditorium about 5 rows back and it was perfect. Then we continued on thru Dumbo, Peter pan, Pooh, Snow White etc...
We then headed to toontown because we found out Ariel was there. As I mentioned before our trip my DD 5yo LOVES, ADORES, and IDOLIZES her!!
First we did Goofy's barnstormer then Minnie's house and then headed to see Ariel.
We waited in line only a few minutes then they took us back to the room where Cinderella and Ariel were. Both of my DD were very happy. My 10yo loves Cinderella too!
It was truely magical! Jessica my 5 yo just stared in awe, it was sweet. Then when it was her turn to go up to Ariel it was amazing. She showed Ariel her book that I had made, of course was Ariel, and Ariel carried on a conversation with her about what a beautiful mermaid she would make and it made her so happy and I of course cried. Then she pulled out of her pocket the postcard "ARIEL" (TINK) sent her and Ariel said she remembered sending it to her and was impressed she still had it!! Thanks again Tink! She had been carrying that postcard with her everyday of the trip in her pocket so when we saw her we could show it to her! Ariel signed it again and we will put it in her photo album.
We then moved on to Tomorrowland and BUZZ! My husband beat me both times But it was fun. Next was SPACE MOUNTAIN ~ My 5yo DD was 43 1/2 inches 1 month ago, she was wearing little flat fip flops so I figured it was out for her but to my surprise her head hit the top of the measure stick and she was good to go!!! Unfortunately she did not enjoy it as much as I thought she would. But she did good. She says she will try it again when she gets big like her brother.
We did the rest of tommorowland all of which had a maximum line of 5 minutes and moved on to BTMRR. The kids loved this one. Then Splash Mountain which My 5 yo has never been crazy about. She does not like getting wet But she went on it. She liked it better this year. She sticks her head in the bottom of my shirt so she does not get wet on the big hill so we are never able to get the picture because you cannot see her and I look extra FAT!
We then hit Pirates one of our fav's and the Jungle Cruise with an awesome CM as the Captain. Next we headed over to HM. Before that tho we saw Woody, Jessie, and Bullseye and that was great since I love Toy Story( We never did get Buzz tho )
Then the parade was starting so we went to Main Street and sorta watched and sorta Shopped!! We made our way thru the whole long shop that is connected all the way to City hall. We bought a bunch of great stuff and were headed back to the Poly to swim and for my DH to rest because he still was not feeling just right. Checked with City Hall on the way out for my son's book with no luck.

Back at the Poly I took the kids to the pool while DH slept. I love the Volcano slide but boy is it dark The kids and I swam and went down the slide and had a blast . After about and hour or so we headed back to get ready for HOOP DEE DOO.

We all got ready then I woke up DH and he was feeling better, yahoo, So quick shower and on to Hoop Dee Doo!! We took the boat launch to MK then the boat launch to FW. It was a wonderful relaxing ride.

This was the most AWESOME show!!! I had no idea what to expect but it was incredible. Before we went in we walked around FW and the petting Zoo! We got Table 12 I figured we would be way in the back but our table was right up against the stage!! SCORE!! We had a great waiter. Right off they started picking on our table and it was fun our kids laughed sooo hard and so did we! At the end they picked my husband to be the Indian and then they improved with him and had him throw himself at Davy Crockets feet when he was dying. It was so hilarious even the guy playing Davy was laughing. The kids thought it was SOOOOOO great and they loved that their dad was funny. Then at the end when you play the washboards they had all three of the kids come up on stage to play the washboards. Another tear jerking moment! The show was so good that our kids did not go to the bathroom the whole show and that is an unbelieveable feat!!
I am convinced we used every bathroom in WDW and US and Clearwater when we were there more than once.
After the show we took the launch back to the Contemp. and the monorail back to the Poly. The transportation has been incredible.

When we got back we went upstairs to concierge to get snacks for DS because he did not eat much at the show and was hungry..
Then we all crawled in bed and were ready for BB tommorow!!
