Hello??? Is anyone there???
Okay... So... Here goes, day TWO at Disneyworld! This was the most exciting day for me! I was going to get to eat--- scratch that!
I was going to take CORTLYN to eat with the Princesses!
We woke up early- because no matter how tired Cortlyn was the night before, she ALWAYS wakes up early! I had brought Cortlyn's Cinderella dress that we bought for THIS occasion. I was SO excited as I pulled it out of the bag and I hear "I don't wanna wear THAT!" WHA?????
Finally, I just looked at Corey and said, "if she doesn't want to wear it, then I guess she won't wear it" but I was crushed! We stuffed it in the stroller with HOPES that later she would change her mind.
Let me just say, that Cortlyn thought the bus was probably the coolest part of the whole week at Disney! She LOVED getting on the buses! I think part of it was that she is usually always in a carseat, so this was a new freedom for her. The buses were quick and we rarely waited at all (which I know is a concern with the Values- but seriously! We had amazing luck with the buses!).
We got to MK right after rope drop. I had wanted to get there FOR rope drop, BUT you know... with the whole I don't wanna wear my dress episode, we were a little behind. No worries though- there is always the NEXT disney trip! We we walked in- the FIRST thing we see is Daisy Duck! The line didn't seem that long, so I asked Cortlyn if she wanted to meet Daisy and she was VERY excited to do so!! YAY!! I just knew this meant we were going to be GOOD with the rest of the characters...
We walk on down through Main Street and its pretty empty still- I mean, it was early, and I'm sure most of the rope droppers were out getting their fastpasses for rides.
I was SOOO excited to walk through the castle! Cortlyn thought it was really neat to be "in" the Castle- which made our breakfast later that morning even MORE exciting to me!!! I had to take some pictures of the mosaics:
So, we went back into Fantasyland... or what is left of it. I'm glad that Cortlyn is so little and won't remember all the walls and such, but there was a little sadness for me that so much was boarded up. But we were still in Disney, and Cortlyn will never remember the walls I'm sure. And I'm looking forward to going back and seeing all the new wonderful things they will be doing with it!!
Our first ride of the day was DUMBO!!! YAY!! I was so excited to take Cortlyn on this ride!
Shocking... My princess wanted the PINK Dumbo!
That was a big hit! I wish I had told Corey to ride with her after we got off, because the lines were so low. Anyway, we got a call from Nita that Alyssa was finished with her BBB appointment, so we started towards the castle to meet up with them. We just HAPPENED to see a character meeting- Cinderella's step mother and step sisters! We jumped in line and waited to see them. They were SOOO funny. If you see them, you should really take the chance to meet them. One of the funny things they talked about was that if the sisters HADN'T torn up the pink dress, that the prince never would have noticed Cinderella, and how they made her "fashionably" late for the ball. It was really cute.
So, right next to where the Step sisters were, was a little shop where Alyssa had taken some photo pass pictures after her appt. We went inside and Cortlyn saw this little Cinderella doll and asked for it. My husband is SOOO smart and said "You can have the doll, IF you put on your Cinderella dress." Next thing we knew, Cortlyn was taking off her shirt to put on her dress! WOOHOO!!! WAY to go honey!!!!
Next, we went to go ride It's a Small World. Cortlyn really enjoyed this the night before, and we had found out that Nita's family didn't ride ANYTHING. After we left they basically stayed right in front of the castle, and watched the parade and fireworks, but didn't do anything else... sigh. What a waste of park hours IMO- but whatever! It's their trip! After IASW, we headed to the Castle for our breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table! YAY! While we waited, I caught the girls practicing their Curtsies! CUTE!
I was right at 20/21 weeks while we were there. Thanks!
They were sitting out in front of the castle. Cortlyn was THRILLED to see her friend Alyssa and they enjoyed dancing to the music while we sat there...

I didnt really care about parades or fireworks. I wanted to see the extra characters and get the free snacks!
We kinda had a little spat because we had a difference of opinion on what to do with the night. I wish that we had discussed ahead of time what we thought was important about the party. I knew our time at the Party was limited to Cortlyn, who had not napped at ALL that day. We had driven from Tallahassee to Orlando and been in Magic Kingdom all afternoon. She was doing GREAT, but a non-napped toddler is like a ticking time bomb! 
Oh well... Cortlyn was starting to melt at this point, since she had NOT slept well the night before, and now had not had a nap all day and it was past her bedtime. We were on borrowed Cortlyn-Time people! Corey decided to try to buy her one of the balloons to cheer her up, however, I knew this wouldnt be a good idea, considering that Cortlyn has an issue with the balloon being secured and tied to her wrist or any other item. The wind was KICKING! The balloon was tied to 3 mickey ear weights, but I didnt trust it, and so I was trying to get Cortlyn to let me secure the balloon. 
She's in the 90% for height and weight. I love my sweet husband. 
that Cortlyn managed to meet Jasmine...they seem pretty engrossed in conversation!
I forgot to take any pictures and I haven't uploaded the Photopass Pictures to Photobucket yet! Oops! But I wanted to get a shot of where Jasmine was for people to see! Sorry!
and of course we will travel with you again! 
I think she's pretty perfect myself!
Please forgive me!!!
