Day 6 - Our last day

We spent our last morning at Disney World at Magic Kingdom. As soon as we got there we headed straight to Pixie Hollow to see Tinker Bell and Terrance. Ella was kind of shy with both of them, but as soon as we left, she told me everything Tinker Bell had said to her. Tessa actually kind of liked Tinker Bell.

After meeting Tinker Bell, we went on more rides. We did the Magic Carpets again, and Ella decided that she wanted to ride Pirates of the Caribbean again. She said she wasn't scared of anything that time. She also wanted to ride a roller coaster. There was only one that she was tall enough to ride, so we each rode it with her. She loved it.

Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It! Street Party

Before we left Disney World we had time for one more parade.

Goodbye Disney World!

We had the best time! We went non-stop from the time we left home until the time we left Disney World. The girls did really well (for the most part) even though they both slept much less than they usually do. It was completely magical for Ella, and Tessa danced and clapped her way through the trip. We really can't wait to go back!

Day 5 - Magic Kingdom

We spent the entire day at Magic Kingdom. Ella really wanted to meet Rapunzel, so she and I stood in line for almost an hour to meet her first thing. We spent the rest of the morning going on rides. Her favorites were Dumbo and the Magic Carpet ride. They also liked the Jungle Cruise. I'm pretty sure they both thought the animals were real. Ella said she did not like Pirates of the Caribbean.

After a quick nap in the stroller we watched the afternoon parade. Ella loves the picture of Flynn Rider. He's her favorite prince. :)  She also really liked meeting Tiana. She actually took a good picture with her.

Pixie dust

Every night while we were out for the eveing, the fairies came to our room and left surprises and a trail of pixie dust. Ella thought this was great. One night she even saw Tinker Bell flying around over the trees.

Day 4 - Hollywood Studios

We went to Hollywood Studios for the morning. We mostly watched shows. We saw the Voyage of the Little Mermaid, Muppets 3D, Beauty and the Beast, and the Disney Jr. show. Bjoern and I weren't very impressed with the Little Mermaid show, but Ella liked it. Beauty and the Beast was really good. The girls really liked the Disney Jr. show, but Tessa got mad when they dropped gold doubloons (paper circles) from the ceiling and we wouldn't let her eat them.

Back to Epcot

Meeting Snow White

Day 3 - Animal Kingdom

The weather was supposed to be horrible all day, but when we got up the rain hadn't gotten to us yet, so we decided to head out to Animal Kingdom. First we did the Safari. It was really good and we all liked it. Tessa loves animals, so she especially enjoyed it. Afterward we saw the Lion King show and the Finding Nemo show as well as some other animal exhibits. 

Pooh and Tigger

Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade

We didn't think there was any way we'd make it to the parade before the rain started, but we kept watching the radar on our phones and it held off. The girls both fell asleep in the stroller for a while, so Bjoern and I walked around and looked at the animal exhibits. Tessa woke up just in time for the parade. We left as soon as it was over and got back to the resort just as the rain started.

Downtown Disney

After a short nap, we took a boat from our resort to Downtown Disney. We had some dinner and then the girls danced the night away. 

Day 2 - Breakfast at the Castle

When we got back to our room after our first day in the park, the girls found an invitation from Cinderella herself inviting them to have breakfast with her and her friends at the castle. She had also sent a beautiful princess dress for Ella and a Cinderella shirt for Tessa. Ella was so excited. She also wore her glass slippers so she could show them to Cinderella.

Meeting Cinderella

Princesses

During breakfast we got to meet Jasmine, Belle, Aurora and Ariel. Ella was shy with them when they were at the table, but as soon as they left, she'd talk about how cool it was.

Epcot

After going back to the hotel for a nap, we spent a rainy evening at Epcot. The highlight of the evening was Turtle Talk with Crush. Tessa LOVED this show. She was so excited, she could barely contain herself. She clapped and squealed the whole time. And she said, "Dude!" During the fireworks show, we went to the Epcot Character Spot and saw Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Donald and Goofy. Again, Ella was really shy with them, but she wanted to see them and have them sign her book. She asked Pluto if he would sign it for her puppies (since he's their favorite). Tessa really didn't want to have much to do with most of the characters.

Goofy was really good with Ella. He sat down with her and they looked at her autograph book. Then he took her hand and they walked over to the backdrop together. Goofy was always my favorite. :)
