Disney - Day 4

Our last full day at Disney we gave it all we had - and it was a long, but fun-filled day!

We decided to head back to Magic Kingdom and we had all of our stops mapped out and the times to meet the princesses all organized. To boot, it was another beautiful and seriously warm day and we were basking in the sunshine while we still could!

We started out with a visit with Princess Tiana...

Then we headed to visit with Jasmine, but when we got there, we realized that the line was long. We decided to watch the Tikki Room bird show, instead. I remembered watching it when I was a kid and loving it! My memory was filled with colourful birds singing lovely songs. What I realized once we were seated and watching the show was that I obviously blocked out the room getting really dark, the thunder claps, and the noise level. Epic fail for mom. Both girls were terrified! Ailee yelled out in a loud voice, "How are we gonna get outta here?!"

That day was all about the character visits, so it was then off to visit with Tinkerbell. I was positive that Ailee would adore Tinkerbell as she loves pretending to play with pixie dust. However, when it was our turn in line, Ailee started freaking out and wouldn't go near Tinkerbell. Turns out Ailee was terrified that Tinkerbell would cover her in pixie dust. She was worried she would start to fly! Tinkerbell tried to reassure her that she doesn't bring her pixie dust around the humans, but to no avail.

Luckily, we had a Fast Pass for our visit to Mickey...

After a quick lunch, we lined up for Maelyn's favourite ride, 'It's a Small World." Ailee had just fallen asleep in the stroller and the stroller wasn't allowed in line, so I carried her. A half hour later and with a really sore back, we climbed into the boat. A very-grateful-me was happy to be in the boat - and Ailee continued to nap, even with all the noise and the loud music.

Once Ailee was awake, we went for another ride on the carousel and then used another Fast Pass for the Little Mermaid ride. This one was a favourite of mine - I loved how they simulated going under the water and the cold rush of air was a welcome relief from the heat. When there were scary parts, I covered Ailee's eyes while she covered her ears. :)

Our last character visit was a coveted one - with Anna and Elsa! The girls were beyond excited to see the sister princesses. Paul and I were beyond excited that we had a Fast Pass and avoided an hour and a half wait in line!! :S 

Although Ailee had smiled and posed willingly and happily with the other princesses, she talked non-stop with Elsa, even telling her that she liked the curtains that were in the room. Too cute!

We finished off our visit to the Magic Kingdom with a ride around the park on the train. It was seven in the evening by the time we left! We had dinner at the resort and then went for our final swim. The girls were thrilled to swim while it was dark outside! It was a chillier evening, but we just love spending time in the pool together. :)

Once the girls were asleep I spent some time packing and then crashed myself.
