Woo-hoo for Mickey Mail!!!! That deserves a little dancing.

Great update. You took some wonderful pictures. Love the one of Cinderella's fountain and the girls with Ariel. I was surprised by the picture with Ariel's belly button showing. I thought she usually wore a skin colored top with her shell bra. Although, if I had a stomach like hers I'd probably want to show my belly button too!

Too cute that Baily's undies were feeling a little tight. Did the girls dry quickly?

YEAH! Enjoy every moment of it! I think she's around Katie's age, so our princess costume wearing days are numbered. I'm glad you get one more shot at it!

I think this will be the last time.

I totally agree!

I never noticed her button. I'm going to have to go back and look at our pictures from the last trips. We don't always take the time to visit Ariel.

It was the middle of June and the middle of the day, they didn't take long at all to dry. It also helped that they were in light weight fabrics. Jeans take forever to dry and really chaff.

Great update. Glad the girls enjoyed meeting Ariel and that your sis enjoyed Philharmagic. (It really is a truly nifty ride.)

I like all the "distractions". It still seems like you got a ton done....

Tena really liked the 3d shows. Of course Philharmagic is the best!

We did pretty good. There is just so much to do at the Magic Kingdom. I think I could spend 3 days there and still not do it all. 4 weeks from today I'll be there!

Wet underwear = uncomfortable
Not that I want a disability but it would be sweet to have one of those passes sometime!

You have a trip sneaking up on you very soon!

I have to admit it did come in handy. Guess how many times we rode Toy Story?

You have a trip sneaking up on you very soon!

I starting to really get excited! We just got back from the mall. Danielle got 2 capri outfits from Justice and a pair of converse. I only got one pair of capris. I told her we were shopping for spring clothes since she keeps growing.

My Tuesday opened up a bit. So I'm pretty sure I'll stick around to meet up....

When last I left off we were conquering Fantasyland with the help of Tena's pass.

Once we had finished with Fantasyland we headed toward BTM to use the FP I had gotten earlier. Well, I don't know what was up but it was down. We grabbed a set of FPs for Splash for later. What to do now? We backtracked to Liberty Square and finally got Danielle on Haunted Mansion. For some reason this ride really creeps her out. I love it and could ride it over and over just to see all the details. One on the things she has always hated the most are the spiders. I told her I thought they were taken out with the rehab. This would be our first time riding since the rehab. Of course Bailey was ready and willing so Danielle had to ride to save face. She kept her eyes open most of the time and seemed to to okay. Of course if I were to ask her today if she wanted to ride the answer would be no. We'll have to do some arm twisting to get her on in next month.



By now it was getting late and we were hungry. Of course we ended up right by my favorite counter service in the MK. The Columbia Harbor House. Danielle and I had tried for the first time in 2007 and loved it. The food might not be the greatest but I love the atmosphere. It's never as crowded as everywhere else. We love sitting upstairs facing Fantasyland. It's the perfect get a way from the crowds. It was a big hit with Tena and Bailey too.









After lunch we headed back to BTM and finally got our ride. On our way out we grabbed another set of FPs for later that night.

We headed back to Pop to get our daily rest. I have to say this was the only day I was disappointed when we returned to our room. It was well after 1 and our room had not been cleaned. We were all tired and just climbed back into the beds for our rests. I took my usual power nap and for once Danielle fell asleep. I woke up when the mousekeeper made it to our room. I told her not to worry with cleaning and just to leave us some clean towels. Once I was up I gathered some laundry and headed down to the laundry room. I sat by the pool while I did a load or two and called Dennis and Michelle. Once the laundry was done I went back to the room to wake the others. We had a 6:30 ADR at Liberty Tree Tavern. I was real excited about this meal. It was new for us and not something I could ever get Dennis to agree to do before.

Once everyone was up and moving we headed back to the park. We had a little time and I wanted to catch a ride on the Liberty Belle before dinner. Once we got to Liberty Square Tena needed a smoke break. While she took her break Danielle and I looked around the Christmas Store. Once we were done we went back out hoping she was ready to move on. No she wasn't. She had meet a nice older gentleman who was waiting for his grandson to meet up with him. So we sat and visited with him awhile too. Our time to ride the boat passed so we decided just to try and check in a little early.



We were seated after a small wait. Tena and I really enjoyed the food but I'm afraid it was a little to healthy for the girls. The flank steak was our favorite. Our waiter was good and remembered the girls birthdays. They were sung to and given their little cupcake to share. Danielle really enjoyed the interior of the restaurant. She had studied colonial times in school in 4th grade. She liked everything except the carpet by the bathroom. We can't go to eat somewhere without her trying out the bathroom, but the carpet creeped her out. She said it looked like the something that would be in the Haunted Mansion so I had to go with her to the very time bathroom.

A few shots of LTT.













More to come!

So here's where things get a little hazy because it has been so long since the trip and I don't have a lot of pictures. I'm pretty sure we rode Splash but not BTM. Bailey wanted to ride to Jungle Cruise so I know we headed there.



We used Tena's pass to avoid the line. We ended up in back end of the boat which is not near as fun and the front end. It's so much better if you're near the front and can interact with the CM.

We walked through the Tree House and hit the Tiki Room. I know a lot of people don't like it but I never got to see the old one so I like it just fine. It's a nice place to cool off and sit for a while.

We had to have another ride on Pirates too. It was dark and getting late so we passed back through Liberty Square.



It was getting close to time for Wishes. We had time for one more ride. Bailey loves Stitch and wanted to do his ride. Danielle and I wanted to ride BTM. I told Bailey we didn't have time to do both and Tena actually spoke up and offered to take Bailey while I took Danielle. So off we went to our separated rides. When we meet back up they had also had time to do Buzz using Tena's pass. It was time to find a spot for Wishes but of course some of us were thirsty and some had to use the restroom. We ended up by the Baby Care Center bathrooms with our frozen drinks. It wasn't the greatest spot since we were standing with some trees blocking the fireworks but it was better than seeing them in Fantasyland. After the fireworks we were ready to leave. We started back down Main Street stopping to shop a little. By the time we got to the end the second run of Spectro had started and we had to cut through the parade to get out. It had been a long day and we were tired. The next day would be our last park day.

I'll leave you with a few pictures I took of the castle.









Only one more park day left!

Hopefully they will all outgrow it.

We did have a good last day in MK. I think the only thing I didn't do and wanted to do was Barnstormer. The one day we went to ToonTown the line was just too long.

The pics of the castle refelected in the pond are awesome. It is definitely making me more excited to go.
