And on with the show!
Friday, May 23rd
Where are we spending our first full day at Disney?? Why Magic Kingdom, of course!
Ideally, I love to spend our first Disney moments at Magic Kingdom. But after looking at crowd calendars and such it just didn't make much sense. So we will ALL be so excited to walk through the gates and see that glorious castle! I can't wait to see our little one's reaction since I'm sure she won't really remember seeing it in person when she was just shy of 2!
Hopefully we will all be well rested after calling it an early night the night before and can get there for Rope Drop! Once in, I'm sure we will try to head back to New Fantasyland and do ETWB and the rest of the N.F. attractions... we are all really hoping that the 7 Dwarfs Mine Train is open!
This is what it looked like last April when we were there!
After exploring New Fantasyland, we will probably just check out the wait times and go from there. I know we'd all love to check out Splash Mountain's wait time because it's our favorite, but we may head over to Space Mountain since Addison will FINALLY be tall enough to ride it! I'm thinking that the first part of the day we will just play by ear as far as rides go.
So we will try to cram as much in as we can before Addison's 11:00 appointment at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique!
I'm sure my MIL will be joining me here and the boys will take Harper to do something. What stinks is that Harper will be 3 days shy of 3, but can't go to the BBB herself
So I will have to make sure to bring her a princess dress and take her over to Castle Couture to get pixie dusted herself! I would have waited until after she turned 3, but today was the only day that going to the BBB made sense and we'd get our $ worth... bummer!
After this we will grab some lunch somewhere... maybe Pecos Bill's? We'll just have to see what everyone feels like!
After lunch it could go a few ways. 1. We all head back to Pop to rest. I know Addison won't sleep and will want to swim... and with just getting princessed up at the BBB I don't know if I want to risk her ruining her hair before our fun dinner ADR! So that leads me into #2. Either Derek or I take Harper back to nap and everyone else stays at M.K. for the afternoon. Or we could do #3. Everybody stays at M.K.! We will just have to wait and see how the morning goes!
I haven't given FP+ much thought yet... I'll have to get together with my MIL and figure it all out. If we head back to M.K. before dinner, I may try to use them then. Who knows... I'm a planner, but I'm not sure I like this extent of planning. But that's another topic for another day! Ha ha!
After a possible rest time, we will have to wait and see what time it gets to being. If we go back to Pop we could either go straight to dinner or possibly, depending on the time, hit up M.K. for a bit because our dinner ADR is just a hop on the Monorail away! Where will we be dining?? The Contemporary? The Poly? The Grand Floridian??
Well of course our newly transformed princesses will be eating at 1900 Park Fare!! We have a 6:10 ADR.
Last trip we had a great time here and the characters were so much fun! I'm just hoping that we have better weather because the last time we got caught in a TORRENTIAL downpour in M.K. as we were leaving to go to our ADR! We were soaked to the bone despite ponchos and a stroller cover! Addie was nice and dry because she hopped in the stroller and stayed under the cover... the little one on the other hand decided that she was going to scream bloody murder and throw the cover off her head. It was probably the worst experience of my life. When we got the the Grand Floridian, thank the Lord they met us with towels and I took myself and Harper to the bathroom and wrung out her dress and used the hand dryer on myself in an attempt to dry out. It. Was. Awful. So I'm praying this pre-dinner experience is much better!
After dinner we may just head back to Pop because our friends Sean, Chelsea and their son Chase will most likely be in Orlando by then! I have to talk with them about whether or not they want to hit up both Wishes and MSEP while in town for the weekend. If they don't, we may do the one that they don't want to do so we can get it done
If not, maybe we'll have them over to the resort to swim... or maybe we'll just all hit the hay to prep for a fun day in the parks with them!
What will the next day bring??
they really are super easy and cute. We have the mom and dad ones in your picture too! Great minds, I tell ya!
well, you're in good company!
I thought her sister was trying... but man oh man, she has her beat! I'll admit it, she got her stubborness from me but she definitely got her tantrum throwing ability from her dad 
Might as well just stay up because you know I'm not going to be able to sleep anyways! Ha ha! 
I'm with you....I'm not sad to see 2013 go either. I lost my last grandparent this past year also.
