Thanks! I didn't get to take pictures of Marie in the snow white dress because it was too small. I plan on giving the whole ensamble to a little girl, who doesn't have one to wear, at the Pirate and Princess party Feb. 1, unless someone on these boards asks for it first. My sister -in-law will make her one to wear. She is only 4, but looks like a 5 or 6 year old. And no, I never did find my pouch.

I was watching "Fearless" with DH and decided to check the boards one last time before going to bed. I have to go back to work tomorrow. Keep checking this TR. I am going to try to work on it every evening except Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. I have things at church to do. I am a very busy woman.

Night y'all!

The food was pretty good. My dad got "blessed" by the birds flying around over our heads. Another bird swooped down, snached a fry from my daughter's tray and nearly nocked me out in the process. When I screamed, a cast member said, "That's why you're not supposed to feed the birds."

Well Duh!!!!!!

OOOH! That's why my biscuits burn every time I see kids (and adults who
SHOULD know better) feed those flying rats!

I had my own experience when I had my churro, freshly given to me in
Frontierland, ripped out of my hands by a cheeky seagull before I had
taken a bite of it.

I'm enjoying your report, but I'm sad that you had the misfortune of finding
the birds who aren't scared of people. I'm going to continue reading to
see what else happens.

Marie got up the next morning and saw the table. She went over to it and looked at everything. She wasn't as excited as I had thought she would be until her dady egged her on about Tinkerbell coming in and leaving it for her. She had her daddy read her the card. It was from Cinderella and said that she heard that she had just had her 4th birthday. She said in honor of this occasion, she was inviting her into her castle to eat breakfast with her and her friends. She was told to wear her princess dress.

 

[jmmelvin]

When I helped her put on her dress, it wouldn't fit! Instant tears from DD. I told her that was okay because her aunt had given us her Cinderella dress to bring. She immediately perked up and put on her dress.

DM and DF arrived and were shown the things left by Tinkerbell and told of how we were invited to eat in the castle with Cinderella. Of course all the adults already knew of this, but we all pretended to be surprised. We didn't have to pretend to be excited.

We grabbed the stroller, got Marie in and headed to the buses and to the Magic Kingdom for a full day.

 

[jmmelvin]

I had made reservations for 10:30 that morning, so we had time to explore the MK and ride some rides before breakfast.

I must break long enough to upload some pictures for this TR.

 

[MeMom]

What a lucky girl your daughter is to have so many people who love her! I can't wait to do some of the same things, all the dressing up and such, with my granddaughter. She's only five months old, but her mommy and I have big plans for many, many fun Disney trips with her. Thanks for including the nice pictures, too.

 

[jmmelvin]

Yeah Right! explore the MK before breakfast! It took us long enough to get to the bus stop, to the MK, through the front gates, down Main Street, and around to the back of the castle, that it was time to check-in for our reservations.

I checked us in at the desk, and we waited for our names to be called. When we were called, we went through the doors and got into line to see Cinderella. When we turned the corner, DD saw Cinderella.

 

[jmmelvin]

As we wove our way through the line, I took the time to notice the decor of the room. Here are some things I noticed.

The birds holding the ribbon above the seating area for Cinderella.

The balcony where the elevator is located.

The area above the fireplace where the mice Jake and Gus were watching.

Finally DD got to visit with Cinderella and tell her how old she was.

 

[jmmelvin]

We walked up the stairs to the restraunt and DD was given a wand and star, and we were seated at our table.

This is how our table setting looked.

Here is what our meal looked like. They did ask us if we wanted any more, and we were so full, that we had to say no.

Here are the characters we saw.

Snow white

Jasmine

Fairy Godmother

Our server did ask us if we had seen all of the princesses, and we told her that we had not yet seen Belle, who was wandering from table to table. So she wrote it down and a little while later, Belle came over.

 

[jmmelvin]

During the breakfast they had a wishig ceremony where the kids got to wave their wand (sword for boys) over their wishing star after making a wish on it, and say bibbidi bobbidi boo. Here is a picture of DD doing just that.

They brought DD a birthday cupcake out, and sang happy birthday, and they also brought out me and DH etched toasting glasses for our anniversary!!!! I thought they only did that for dinners.

 

[jmmelvin]

After we left our table, I had to stop and take a picture of DD in front of the Cinderella window on the sairs. Classic photo op.

 

[jmmelvin]

We also stopped and took a picture of her with her knight.

 

[jmmelvin]

We went outside and made a stop at Cinderellas fountain.

 

[jmmelvin]

Next we went to the Tinkerbell's Treasures shop. We had DD running around following Tink as she fly around the room, and she even saw tink when she went to the drawer! She had been wanting some ears since I had been wering mine, so she picked out a pair. Her she is checking herself out in the mirror.

Here is her granddad wearing the earsand posing with the Tink Backpack for DH to show the guys at work what a girly man looks like.

Funny thing is, it backfired on DH when the CM gave DF a free Mickey pen and DD three stones for free for DF doing that and being a good sport about it.
