[soulmates]

The trip report was AMAZING!! I loved them all! Claire is a darling and so very lucky to have ALL these magical memories from this trip. I have to say, I was most surprised by how impressed I was with Pop Resort!! I've never stayed at the Value resorts....but now I know, it would be blast!! Can't wait to read your Dining Report...we are doing one too and it will be our first!! For the money, it makes SO much sense!!

More shots

I never noticed these guys before. I thought they were so cute

I just love the castle lit up.

I made my way up Main Street around 8:45. It was still pretty crowded and the shops were packed. Claire also called and told me she missed me, so I knew it was time to start heading back. But of course I kept taking pictures.

were were those statues located?

 

[jenseib]

were were those statues located?

In that circle in front of the castle where the Walt Disney statue is. There are on pedistals all around it. There were a few more than the ones I posted too.

I'm sooooooooooo jealous that you got to go on Space Mountain! I'm going in June and just found out about the rehab and that it will be closed. It's my favoriate ride!! Oh well...great report though!

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

I'm catching up...must say I love all of the castle and night pictures! We took a bunch of the same things. I'm finally uploading the Photopass stuff now! Mean to do it last night but forgot.

No fair...you got to taste Claire's slipper. My DD ate every bit of hers and licked the plate clean. I got NOTHING! Aren't they precious? Once we did the milk chocolate at the castle...she said the white one at 1900 was much better though! Sure looked tasty! Did you know they do a castle too? I like the slipper best though.

I love the pics of the statues and the castle lit up is so beautiful I like all your pictures.

 

[MyMuse]

Your fireworks pictures are great! You don't give yourself enough credit.

And the other pictures down Main St; I didn't even see those statutes or that bauitful wedding dress. And here I am thinking I'm observant!

I'm going back in May, so I'll definitely look those up. I'm planning to have a new camera with me; I'm hoping th price goes down a bit more in the next 2 weeks. I want the Olympus Stylus 9000.

[ladybugmom]

[ZeroToHero]

I love the castle pictures, especially the sideshot of the spires, and the changing colors!
And your fireworks photos are amazing!

And a final few before I leave

I get back to the room to find Skip asleep and Claire bouncing around on the bed next to him. LOL!

I was a bit hungry and Claire said she was too, so we walked up towards the gift shop/food court. In the gift shop she picked out an Ariel figurine set. She had a ton of spending money, and with the toys on sale, she seemed to be able to get so much more. Happy with her purchase, we got a bowl of grapes for her and I got a turkey sandwich.

We went back to the room and started to eat a bit. I then realized we need to pick up our Hoop Dee Doo tickets for the next day, so Claire and I walked back up to Concierge Desk, which had just closed! UGH! It was a few minutes after 10 and they closed at 10 (with the final person still at the desk) So I made the mental note to go in the morning.

We went back to the room and Claire played a bit with her new purchase. We finished up our snack and got ready for bed.

Claire decided to sleep with me that night. I think we laid down about 11, but it took awhile for her to get the wiggles out.

And that’s the end of day 2!

As for following our plan, for the most part, things went well. We did some extra stuff that I hadn’t planned on, so that was nice. But then we never made it back to MK as a family after dinner, but that was fine too.

23 pages for two days.
This is so helpful though, because it means the time is flying between now and my trip! Thank you jenseib!

 

[jenseib]

LOL! I know. I still have 4 full park days!

 

[MagicShell]

It sounds like you had a great day. Your dinner looked like a lot of fun. We may try that one sometime. I LOVE your night time pictures at the MK, they are great.

 

[Corjack]

I am loving it!!! GREAT pics. I LOVE MK at night!!

 

[smithpack]

I can't believe it has only been 2 days as well. That's good news because that means there is more to come!! I am loving all the pics. I am really wishing I had done 1900 for one of our dinners. I think I will call and see if they happen to have any openings.
