More parade pictures
Crowds after the parade. Crazy!
After the parade we went to try to ride Haunted Mansion. I wasnt sure how DD would do with it, but we talked about it and watched youtube videos before the trip. I kept telling her it was supposed to be funny, not scary. So on the trip she kept saying she wanted to ride the ghost ride. Unfortunately the line was closed at that point. The castmembers didnt know (or didnt say) why. So we went to go get in line to meet Tiana, but her line was closed, too! Not our lucky moment.
We saw Tiana going up to her meet-and-greet and some people stopped her to ask where the line started. I thought it was so funny. I kept saying something about if you were going to stop someone for directions, why not stop a princess? LOL It was cracking me up.
So we went back to Fantasyland and got fastpasses for the new Ariel ride Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid. Then we rode the carousel and after that we saw Philharmagic. I love that show, its so cute. After Philharmagic, we stopped at Fantasy Faire and got DD a stuffed Mickey Mouse (to match the Minnie we bought her on a previous trip). We went and got in line to meet Tiana andNaveen; I guess its a good thing we didnt see Tiana earlier, but Naveen is only with her after 5 pm.
On our way back to the Ariel ride I took this picture of the statue outside Gastons Tavern. Love it!
We went to use our Ariel FPs. We all thought the ride was cute. DD loved it! This is the only picture I took (in the queue) because I just wanted to enjoy the ride since it was our first time.
Then we went to the Grotto and met Ariel. This is when my camera battery decided to die. I was so sad, but luckily Ariel has Photopass photographers and we had prepurchased photopass+!
We just walked around for a while. I dont know if we rode anything, I dont have pictures or notes to indicate that we did. Maybe we just sat and rested for a while.
Of course, I took more pictures of the castle.
Then it was time for dinner at Be Our Guest. On our way we stopped for more photopass pictures. (I only stopped when there was no one waiting so we actually got pretty lucky and found available photographers a lot.)
Dinner was fabulous and I cant wait to do it again.
After dinner we went to leave the park and on the way we got to catch part of the 2nd showing of MSEP. We missed the fireworks during dinner, but we knew we would see them 2 nights this trip. We waited about 10 minutes for a bus. We got back to the hotel and had a surprise more towel animals! There were 2 little birds and 1 big one. We got ready for bed. We were in bed by 11.
Towel animals!
I ended up getting on my phone and going to Amazons website to order a new battery with 1 day shipping to the hotel. I had gotten the hotels address from the front desk. I ordered the battery on the evening of the 7th, it said it would be delivered Saturday the 9th which was perfect because Sunday-Tuesday was MK, Epcot, MK and I knew I would take lots more pictures there than at DHS or AK. Unfortunately my battery didnt ship until Saturday the 9th!!! I didnt get it until Monday the 11th. I was annoyed, but it was only $3.99 so Im just over it now.
Next up Hollywood Studios!
