Laptop has been broken on me - and have been dying to finish my report!! Here is the next part anyway.
First Full Day - Tuesday
Dress for Orla (3) - Tinkerbelle
Breakfast was at Plaza Gardens at 8.15 so our first entrance into the park - mind you Orla was that excited passing the
Disney Store in Disney Village I was nearly worried how she would react J Well as always, that first view of the castle from main street never fails to impress. Magic!!
We had a lovely breakfast - so all fed and watered off we headed to Fantasyland. First stop was Its a Small World - baby Dearbhla into sling and joined the very small queue. Orla was mesmerised - the refrain the whole way around was Look, Look, Look!! ( taken from Little Einsteins of course) . So much to see there - mental note made to try and go on that later in the trip and let her sit on the other side of the boat. Next stop was Lancelots carosuel as requested by a certain little girl, though when we got to it she was a little too scared of the big horses so we grabbed ourselves a carriage and off we went. Baby was fast asleep as this stage. Then we headed over to get Fast Passes to Peter Pan - but queue seemed quite small so we just joined it - was only about 10 mins in the end. We enjoyed that - a bit dark though for Orla.
We had forgotten to pick up a map on the way in so at that stage we decided to wander back towards the entrance to pick one up - we were passing Caseys Corner when we spotted Winnie the Pooh. So had to be done - would be the first character to sign the book, and no better one - Winnie the Pooh is who she cuddles every night in bed. So we joined the queue - was long but not too bad as the All Stars Express passed while we were there - the excitement when she saw Tigger and Eeyore was magic. Then we reached the top and we were beside the bear himself - I have never seen her so so excited, she could not move she was that much in awe - then she ran and gave him a big hug around the belly ( cue a big AW from the queue!) , he signed her book, posed for photos and then asked for a kiss and another hug. Well that would have been worth the trip itself - the look on her face
We had lunch booked for one at the Lucky Nugget Saloon - so it was about 12.20 at this stage - so though we might try and get Buzz Lightyear in before then. So off we went - we had queued about halfway , when we were stopped and told that babies under a year could not go on - a bit annoying as wish were told before we had started queuing. But anyway Nana took Dearbhla out and on I continued with Orla - we enjoyed that and not sure how but she managed to beat my score in the shooting of the aliens!
Next stop was lunch - so off we headed to Frontierland and into Lucky Nugget Saloon. We got a table very near the door - it was quite crowded. First character she noticed was Tigger! Problem though that he seemed to be making his way towards us on a number of times, but got swamped by other people getting up from their tables and chasing him - so we never got to meet him there in the end. We got Mickey and Pluto to sign the book, but again we had the same problem with Goofy. Was a bit disappointing. Food was ok - good enough choice, but think you would need to eat an awful lot of it to make the price worthwhile. Orla was delighted she had met Mickey and Pluto - but did keep saying that Tigger never came over to her.
Next stop after that was back to Fantasyland to the SnowWhite ride ( for my little princess ) - she seemed to be terrified through it ( especially the witchs transformation!) - but she has been talking about this ride every since she came back, so must not have been that bad.. Next was another request to go on the Carosuel - again too frightened of the horses, so back on the carriage
Then it was time for the show in the central plaza - we headed over towards the front of the stage and hung out at the railings and watched it - it was really excellent - all the new generation were there - great singing and dancing. Baby needed feeding and Nana wanted to look around Sleeping Beautys castle - Orla did not want to go - so we sat on a bench outside the castle and chilled for a bit.
Then it was parade time!! Took our positions outside Belle Note - great spot. Parade was brilliant - highlight was when Snow White blew Orla a special kiss. Fantastic.
After that , we decided to dead back towards the village as were booked in for the Buffalo Bills Wild West Show for 6.30. The two kids conked out in the buggies - no surprise there really. We really enjoyed the show - saw it before without Mickey and the gang in it - but its nice to have them part of it - really made it for Orla. She was a bit scared of Annie Oakley shooting - but she got into the swing of it all. And our section won the games - Yippee Do!!
Day one over - we headed back to the Sequoia Lodge for bed and to get ready for Wednesday!
I bet your DD is excited now!
!
Look forward to hearing all about it - when's your next trip?!! 
We've never queued for him yet, but think he'll be on the "to do list" for next time! Sounds like a great start to the trip!
