Saturday, June 12th
This was a great day right from the beginning. We had 8:30 PS at the Princess Breakfast in Norway. I asked my son if he wanted to wear his Prince outfit today & he took me no, because it is so hot. (it is black)
So I told him he is handsome enough & the Princesses would love him anyway.
We hopped on the monorail to get off at the TTC. We were the only ones at the TTC for Epcot so we thought we would ask to ride in the front. We had THE BEST monorail driver to Epcot. His name is Bob & he is just a wonderful guy & we really had a lot of fun. He really was a highlight of our whole Disney experience.
We got a picture of my son & Bob before exiting the monorail. My son for the rest of the trip decided he wants to be a monorail driver like his friend Bob.
Thank you to Bob for starting our morning off great!
We said good bye to Bob & he told Jackson to have fun with the Princesses.
We were one of the first in line at Epcot. Once we were let in, we again were offered a ride back to Norway. I did not get this CMs name, but he was wonderful & my son thought it was cool sitting up front next to him.
We checked in at Norway & then had to wait before we were let it.
We were the second one called in, right after the girl who was deemed Princess of the day.
We had a new server, but she was pretty good, she seemed a little confused when I told her no bacon or sausage in the skillet. But she was very friendly.
The princesses one hand this morning were, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, Mary Poppins, Jasmine & Mulan.
My son, forever the charmer, made sure to kiss all the Princesss hands, in return he got kisses on his cheek from each Princess. Jasmine was especially taken by Jackson that she made sure to leave a nice big lip stick kiss in his book to so he always remembers her!
After breakfast we decided to let Jackson choose just what ride he wanted to go in. Our main goal of the day was to go through the World Showcase, so we wanted to be there right when it opened.
So Jackson said he wanted to go on Imagination .no problem ..bummer thing was though it wasnt working it, Figment was having some difficulties.
So my sons next choice was Living with the Land. OK, so we jump on the boat & enjoy Living with the Land. The CM asked my son where he got all those kisses from, my son proudly said the Princesses
After Living with the Land, we decided to see the Circle of Life movie, since we never took the time to see it before. I thought it was a very cute movie.
My son requested to see Food Rocks .had to tell him it was closed down for a new ride they were building.
After that we just decided to walk over to the world showcase & wait for the Character Bus that makes it way around. It arrived & not many people were out! It was awesome, they were only out there for about 10 minutes but we met 7 characters. We got a picture & autographs of Mr. Smee, Goofy, Max, Pinocchio, Mickey, Timon & the fox from Pinocchio (cant think of his name off hand)
Then we were off to explore the World Showcase. We decided that this will probably be a good day for DS to have a stroller, so we had already rented one.
We started our way through Canada. My son started making his Epcot mask. He got very into it this year. Last summer he really didnt seem interested in it at all.
We made our way up to France & noticed that Belle & the Beast was scheduled to be there in about 15 mins, so we stayed close by. Well, the time came & went & there was no Belle or Beast. Other people asked the CMs around where they were but noone seemed to know.
Jackson really wanted to meet the Beast so we didnt want to go too far. We did walk over to Morocco, got another stamp for his mask. Check to see if any Aladdin characters were out, didnt come out to later.
We decided to head over to Japan then. We stayed & looked through Japan for a while & then went back to France to see if Belle & the Beast found their way yet. The CMs working said they are scheduled to show up in about 15 mins, so we just found a bench & waited.
This time Belle & the Beast showed up! Yeah! Belle remembered Jackson from breakfast that morning so that was an added touch.
We then headed off to Morocco again. DS wanted a picture with Aladdin, so we were hoping he was the one that was going to be out this time.
We were in luck both Aladdin & Jasmine were together! Yeah! We had a wonderful Disney moment with these guys.
Jasmine recognized Jackson right away & starting telling Aladdin all about him. Jasmine told Aladdin that he kissed her hand & was such a gentleman. Jasmine told Aladdin should take some Prince lessons from Jackson!
Jasmine told Jackson that all the Princesses were talking about him after breakfast. That they all thought he made a very good Prince. Then Jasmine asked Jackson where his kiss was that she gave him. We told her it wore off, she said that she will have to give him another one. Well, just as Jasmine went to give him a kiss, Jackson backed away! I asked Jackson what is wrong (he never backs away from a Princess kiss) & he whispers to myself & Jasmine that he doesnt want to make Aladdin jealous!!! Jasmine got a good chuckle out of that & told Aladdin to turn around so he could not see. Aladdin promised he would not look.
Jackson still did not think it was OK for Jasmine to give him a kiss with Aladdin standing there but Jackson said he would take a big hug! So Jackson got his big hug from Jasmine & a high five from Aladdin.
Before leaving Jasmine told us to make sure to visit Belle over in France, we told her we just came from there & Belle was happy he visited her again.
It was a great character memory!
After Morocco, we headed over to USA, but not before stopping and getting some refreshing Kaki Gori in Japan. They were so refreshing! We also grabbed a funnel cake in USA & found a nice place to sit for a bit.
After our snack, we decided to check out The American Adventure, before we were seated in the theatre, we were given a huge treat to hear Voices of Liberty!!!!!! WOW!!!! If you havent heard Voices of Liberty, you must make a point to hear them. AMAZING! My son was in awe with them also. I can not describe them except they have a beautiful singing talent.
After being wowed by Voices of Liberty, we saw the American Adventure, again something we never saw before. I liked it a lot, hard to say if I like this or Halls of Presidents better though.
We then were going to walk over to Italy, we just missed the Living Statue act! My mom & I really wanted to see it so we looked around in Italy, headed over to Germany, looked around & then made our way back to Italy with about 10 mins to spare for the next Living Statue act.
It was so cool. My son got a neat picture with the Living Statue with her arms around him. So cool.
We all enjoyed it.
We then had to book over to China because we wanted to catch the Acrobats. These little kids just blow me away. Just totally amazing .if you can, I really recommend trying to catch their show.
Right after the acrobats got done, it started to rain & rain HARD!!! We wanted to go shopping in China anyway, so we ducked in there. My mother brought my son a dragon puppet he really wanted & he got another stamp on his mask. He was only missing Norway & Mexico.
It was pouring buckets at this point. I was glad we had the stroller since DS was in there & he kept his mask fairly dry.
It was still pouring, Showcase looked deserted since everyone ducked into stores. My son really wanted to get his last two stamps. It was CHORE trying to get through the store in Norway. It was PACKED with people hanging around the door! We did finally make our way through the wall of people & my son got his stamp.
It was still raining hard, DS climbs back in the stroller & we head to Mexico. Well, there was no way we could have made it up those stairs and keeping DSs mask dry. We decided to go Cantina de San Angel & we were able to find a fairly dry area to stand under. My son stated he was hungry, so tried his first churro & loved it. He ended up eating two as we were waiting for the rain to stop.
Well, it was still raining & raining & DS started to say he was cold. So I asked him if he wanted to go back to the resort. He said yes. So we never did get his last stamp he needed. Oh well .hopefully next time.
We hopped on the monorail to head to the TTC.
When we transferred to the resort monorail, we met other wonderful CM. I am not sure what she did at Magic Kingdom, but she said she was off to work at the Magic Kingdom. She is wonderful with kids & her & my son had a nice conversation. She was making him laugh the whole way Magic Kingdom. In fact the poor lady almost missed her stop we were having a good time talking & laughing. I wish I would have gotten her name. Very wonderful CM!
We got back to the resort, of course the rain stop, so I got DS out of the wet clothes & into a warm bath. Afterwards, we watched a little TV before heading to bed.
