Crew- 30 yr old female, My DH 31, and 2 DD's 6 & 1 for the first 2 days my brother-in-law and his daughter 5

We woke again at 7 am. Packed up and out the door about 8:15 am. We arrived at TTC and got on about the third monorail. We were going to see if we could fit my brother-in-law's daughter in to our ressies. My brother-in-law and daughter stopped at the ATM and we were to meet them at the castle. We checked in to the castle and there was no problem adding the other little girl. So we waited for my brother-in-law and his daughter for about 15-20 minutes. They must not be coming so we changed the ressies back to the original 4. About 10 minutes later he comes up and says "Thought we were meeting at the ATM." Oh well, added his daughter back to the ressies. ( every time we changed we went to the end of the line). Well, about 30 minutes later we head upstairs to see we are one of the last seatings. That's ok. I wasn't planning on my brother-in-law staying for breakfast but they sat us at a table for 6. The waitress had no problem and just added him. As my husband says things just seem to go his way. (Probably why he thought he could get his daughter on PW the day before).

By the way, correction on earlier report. My husband didn't think we would get on PW either but as you see his brother seems to have the luck of the Irish.

Anyway, Breakfast was great. Loved the potatoes. The characters were great too. (Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine, Snow White, and fairy godmother.)

We got out of breakfast about 11 am and headed to adventureland. Rode Pirates then off to the jungle cruise. IT was supposed to be about 35 minutes so I took the girls to Magic carpets. Well, we happened to get on the ride about 20 minutes later. Jasmine and Aladin were on our ride about 3 carpets back. We got off and went to Jungle cruise too late. Got fastpasses and went to Enchanted Tiki. Cute show wouldn't wait for it. Went back to Jungle cruise it was ok. We went to BTMRR. The guys and girls waited 30 minutes and we did a baby swap. My daughter and I rode again. The 4 of my family left about 3pm to change hotels and we would meet up with my brother-in-law and his daughter at 5 pm. We checked into CI&S. Room was smaller than expected and there was no closet.

Ran by Wal-Mart to get those fan and squirt bottle things ($6). Went back to MK Meet up with brother-in-law and went to tomorrowland. They had fastpasses for Buzz so we all got FP for Space Mountain. We went on TTA and they went to Buzz. We meet up and went to Toontown and rode the train around once. Back to Space Mountain. Then my brother-in-law and his daughter left. We rode Buzz and then went to Liberty square to get a seat for Spectromagic. Neat parade. Once over we went to the Tomorrwland bridge for FITS and saw tinkerbell fly right over us. We stayed around and took some pictures. We got to see and hear the Kiss Goodnight. Well worth sticking around for. Back to the hotel.

Tomorrow Beltz, Epcot, and MK
 
I tried so hard to get to experience the goodnight kiss. We stayed well past closing and it never happened. Oh well.... Sounds like you had a magical day! :)
 
hi reedi, great reports. i've been following your adventures. we're also in nc (mooresville) and will be driving down next month.
 

Sounds like you all had a fun day. Great report. :)
 
What were the crowds like? I'd like to plan a trip that week and am concerned about huge lines. Thanks for the help. Helen
 
Crowds were moderate. Check when Easter is next year. Avoid it if you can. Just plan well, use fastpass and be flexible.
 
After the fireworks, ( about 30-45 minutes) there comes a voice over the loud speakers speaking about disney and walt's dreams. The castle changes color in a fairly rapid sucession.
Then they end with a final goodnight to everyone. It just something neat to stick around for and miss the crowds.
