Awww Koby's first kiss couldn't have been more magical!

And can I just say, that Tink is gorgeous!! She is the perfect Tinkerbell in my opinion!

It was great! And Tink looked JUST like her!!!

Another great update!

Love the photopass pics and the kiss story is priceless

Thanks!

That sounds like an amazingly fun time. I bet those fairies had a great time with your family. And how great that it had such a positive affect on the rest of your trip

It was a great time! I know we had a great time with them, and it seems like they had a great time with us! After Cinderella & then the kiss, our entire trip changed!

I have to say the ones of Shelby with Cinderella actually choked me up! They are beautiful!! So beautiful!!!

Ahhhhh... Now I understand why you were so happy to have seen Silvermist! She was really good! I love the owl joke - too cute!

The characters really know how to find the soft spot in these pre-teen boys. that your DS then wanted to watch Tinkerbell!

After we saw the Fairies & Koby got his kiss, we noticed that there was a 5 min wait for Mickey's Philharmagic. I love this one! So does the rest of the family. So we got our Opera Glasses & waited for the doors to open. All Brady could talk about was Donald's butt sticking out of the wall. We decided to head back to the Resort so both the boys could go swimming & I could rest my feet. Then Ben tells me the words I could have kissed him for "We will come back tonight so you can see the parade, we can eat & you can see the castle at night!" Yay!!!! I was so super happy. So we catch the bus back to ASMu & Ben takes the boys & Shelby swim while I charge my phone & I take a quick nap. After about 2 hours or so we head back. Little did I realize that people were already lining up for the parade! I found a great spot & Ben & the boys were off to eat at Pecos Bill before the parade started. Shelby was passed out in the stroller. Well, my wonderful spot, the CM tells me I can't stand there because it blocks the exit for people leaving the park. Great, gotta move. So I move back some & sit on the railing of this HUGE planter. Now my 5 ft 1 self can see! The parade starts & there is no Ben or the boys! Oh well, Shelby is still asleep & the parade is starting!

Now at this point that lovely CM who told me to move earlier tells me that he can't allow me to sit on the railing. And that wonderful spot that he made me move from was now jam packed with people. I was ticked. I told him that if I move I won't be able to see at all. He told me to get down anyway. I was not happy at all. And don't you know, every person in the front of me had to be at least 6 ft tall!

Now at this point I see this 15 year old kid who is texting like crazy on his phone & not paying any attention at all to the parade. So I ask him if he could move over a little so I can take pics. He says yes. What a sweet kid!

Now after this Shelby wakes up & boy is she NOT happy! So I sat with her at Expedition Hall while the child screamed bloody murder. There were rocking chairs there but they were all taken. Would have been nice if one of the parents would have made their children get up so I could rock Shelby, but no. Finally the parade is over & Ben & the boys make their way back to us. He told me that after they ate they could not get their way back so they rode BTMRR again at night. He then tells me that he saw the castle all blue & it was just beautiful. He said he tried to get his camera out to get a pic, but it was too late. With her screaming so much, we just headed back to the resort. So I never did get to see the castle at night, I never did get to see fireworks. I was pretty bummed. But by the time we got back to the resort & changed Shelby she was out like a light. Then it hits me, tomorrow is Animal Kingdom & then we go home! I was really sad then!

Tomorrow Animal Kingdom!!!!!!

Aw, too bad about the parade and the CM not letting you sit where you were. At least you got some pretty good pictures! I hope to see the Electrical Parade next summer. I've only ever seen SpectroMagic. And I am looking forward to seeing the summer fireworks show, too. Looks like you've got something to look forward to seeing next year, too!

I did get some great pics! And I got a surprise when I got my PP cd in, they including pics from the parade & the fireworks! Should I post those too? And yes I do!

Too bad that you didn't get to see the castle all lit up and the fireworks. But, look at it this way, you've got a really really good excuse to go back! It's almost the last day already?

Oh yes! And I am hoping since Shelby will be 2, she will be able to handle the night life of Disney a little better than she did last time!

Sivermist is awesome!!!

Is Wishes still the fireworks show? That is my favorite. I had to purchase the CD and everytime I see it I bawl like a baby!

I hate it when the final day(s) countdown begins.

 

[shelbys mommy]

Shelby is now 15 months old & has decided that now that she is in a big girl bed, she can now feed herself. Well.....

I am really not sure, we didn't get to see it. Next time we will though!

Oh, yes, please post the the PP pics of the parade and FW. I didn't know they did that!

And the food pics of Shelby are adorable. She reminds me of my little one at that same age feeding himself. I love it!

I was so surprised! It was like they knew I missed it!

And thanks! I had a nice mess to clean, but it was so worth it!

 

[shelbys mommy]

It was as if the Disney gods knew I missed part of the parade due to Shelby screaming & missed out seeing the castle & the fireworks. They added these pics onto my PP cd! Gotta love that extra touch of Disney Magic!
