Sadly, Addison's sandals that I brought to wear with the dress had given her blisters the day before and she was wearing flip flops. She begged me to buy her Cinderella's glass slippers, but they were hard plastic jellies that were sure to cause more blisters so I refused... We walked down a little way to guest services, where they have photo shoots for the Princesses after their makeovers. Addison had some great pictures taken. The refusal to buy the shoes came back to bite me here...
Thankfully I am really good in photo-shopping so I was able to provide the shoes after all!
After Addie's makeover we were ready to head to the next surprise... dinner at 1900 Park Fare with Cinderella, Prince Charming, Drizella, Anastasia and Lady Tremaine! My mom was driving and she type in the hotel in her phone GPS, well... she typed in A hotel in the GPS, just not the right hotel! Somehow she misunderstood and put in Portifino instead of Grand Floridian!! I was busy talking to the girls and not paying attention (I am kind of famous for this) and didn't notice anything was wrong until I saw Sea World and Universal signs! After turning around we hit some major traffic and ended up being a little late for our reservation! Addison was hungry and grouchy by this point so I had to start spoiling the surprise little by little to try to keep her in good spirits. Finally we arrived and handed off the car to valet so we could hurry inside. We had to wait about 15 minutes, but finally got seated. This is when I realized that that we left the autograph book in the car when we jumped and ran inside. I talked to our waitress and she brought us paper and a pen. I promised Addison that I'd cut these out and glue them in the book later and she was happy with the solution.
Addison was so mesmerized by the princesses and could not even be convinced to go get food, for fear of missing someones visit to our table. Mom and I left her and Allie at the table while we went up to get us all bread and salads. As soon as we got back to the table Drizella stopped by. I had told Addison that I read some different things to say to some of the princesses to strike up conversation... one of the things I told her about was to tell Drizella that her sister was nicer or looked prettier, etc... Addison was dying to say something of the sort but she was nervous and spilled it all out quickly... she said something like Your sister is prettier than you. My mom said to say that! I started laughing and Drizella started making faces and yelling at me!
After Drizella left Prince Charming stopped by our table. He held out his hand to Addison, inviting her to take it and dance but she misunderstood and gave him five instead! I guess I should have briefed her on that too! She posed for some pictures with him and then was finally able to eat her salad.
I got up again and fixed us both a plate of food. I don't remember what any of us ate, I do know that there was a lot of stuff that I was not adventurous enough to try but the mashed potatoes and corn on the kids buffet was good! Addie ate very little, but I expected that.
Cinderella came around next and gushed over Addison's outfit and how beautiful of a Princess Addison was. She asked if her sisters were being nice and then apologized for Drizella's behavior. She took some pictures and then was off.
Lady Tremaine came by next and she was hilarious and amazingly in character! She bent down to talk to Addison and asked her if she did her chores at home, like make her bed. Addison looked a little scared when she had to tell her not really, and that she didn't know how to make a bed. Lady Tremaine said with a very stern, loud voice, You don't know how? What do you mean you don't know how. You just shake the sheet, then tug, tug, tug it up. Then you tug it down, then you smooth it out. That 's all there is to it. From now on you make your bed. You will get no tv, no new toys and no food until your chores are done! Addison was just staring and nodding, terrified to talk back! They then posed for some pictures.
When she posed with Allie she told her to look stern, but Allie was laughing too hard!
Anastasia came over next and was very nice. After her autograph and pictures she started a Princess Parade throughout the whole restaurant with Addison and Allie directly behind her. All the little princesses were too cute!
After the parade the girls came back to the table and a gigantic ice cream dessert plate was delivered. They were not able to eat much of it, but they gave it a good go!
Two little girls were still parading around the restaurant, not wanting it to be over... Lady Tremaine walked up to them and said sternly, Why are we still parading? The parade is over, now go back to your seats! It was too funny!
About this time Cinderella and Prince Charming began dancing and all the little girls gathered in a circle around them. Once they were finished dancing together, they were available to dance with some of the little girls. Addison jumped at the chance to dance with Cinderella. Here is a video of them dancing:
After her dance, we finished up dessert, paid and left.
While we were gone and Craig was in charge of the boys... Elliot got knocked down by a volunteer by accident, the driver of one of the Village golf cart slammed on the brakes while they were riding and Elliot flew to the floor of it scrapping up his elbows and he managed to spray sunscreen in his eyes!! They also went to Old Town, rode Go Carts and won tons of tickets in the games. They went back to the village and ordered a pizza and were waiting for us when we got back.
Everyone was exhausted and fell asleep very quickly!! Tomorrow we head to Hollywood Studios!
LOVE 
I can see it!!! So many smiles and so much JOY!!! 
Thankfully we are not too close, we have a creek that runs a little way behind our property but so far all we have is a swamp in the backyard. Oh and we just discovered that the basement has flooded... the carpet is ruined but it was on it's way out anyway. What scared me is the walls... Craig just finished hanging, finishing and painting them!!! We will know more about the damage tonight when he gets home. 
I was way too tired (was up 28 hours straight) to help. 
luckily it was early Sat morning so not alot of traffic, but it scared the begezzers out of me!
