Day 3 - Princess Time!! 
Itinerary:
Since we'll have hopefully done a good bulk of DCA the day before, this day will be mostly spent in DL, with one lunch time exception. DL opens at 9 am, so my plan (if I can get everyone up and moving!) is to be at the gates at 8:00-8:15 am so we can do Rope Drop. We'll head strait to PP so DN can ride that - I think she'll love it (and we like it too

) and we'll be sure to "walk with purpose" so that we can get as close to the front of the line as possible. Touring Plans is showing relatively low crowd levels for our whole trip, so I'm hoping they're right!

After PP we'll basically ride whichever FL rides that little princess feels like until about 10:15. Then we'll head over to BBB for her 10:30 am Crown Package reservation!



I found some inexpensive ($10 or less each!) princess dresses online and will have her pick out which one she wants to wear beforehand. I am thinking we'll give them all to her when we meet up for dinner the first night and then she can wear one on our first park day if she wants to. She'll have a choice of Tiana, Elsa, or Rapunzel and I'm thinking it's going to be Rapunzel as she's super into anything purple right now according to SIL. I am so excited about this! Every time we've seen a little girl walking around all Bibbidi Bobbidi'd I tell DH how much I want to take DH to DL so we can do that for her, so I'm sure I'll get emotional. She's just such a little sweetie and I know she'll love it. I mean, look at these pictures from her Easter egg hunt...the little darling!

She's already got the Princess Pose DOWN!

I just LOVE the fluffy dress with the dirty rain boots - so stylish!
After BBB - which I'm guessing will take around 45 mins to an hour - we'll check out wait times and hop on something quick in FL. If it's not too crazy, maybe we'll try to meet some princesses over at Fantasy Faire while DN is all gussied up. I'm sure they'd be super fun with her! Then I'd really like to go see Mickey and the Magical Map at 12:05. We'll probably head to the theater at around 11:45 or so in order to get decent seats. DH and I have only seen this once but we loved it and I think everyone else will really enjoy it too.
After MatMM we'll just kind of go with the flow and see what we have time to do. Princess and I have a special auntie/niece bonding time princess date at Ariel's Grotto at 2:30 (I'm already melting with love and joy

) so we'll plan to leave DL and head over to DCA around 1:30 or so. DH, SIL, and BIL can do whatever they feel like at this point. I'm sure they'll grab lunch somewhere and ride some "big kid" rides. I'm not sure if they'll want to hop over to DCA with us or stay in DL or head to the pool or DTD or what! I'm leaving it up to DH to entertain himself and his sister.
After our magical lunch at AG we'll check in with everyone and see what we're all feeling like doing. DN may have a few remaining things she'd like to do in DCA, but if not, we'll head back over to DL and knock out whatever we can before the MSEP at 8:30 pm. I'd like to be able to do POTC, BTMRR, Splash & HSM (if DN is up for them and tall enough!), Pooh, check out Toontown, IASW, JC - basically everything lol. I don't think little princess will be able to do HM as she's got some anxiety regarding death after her great uncle passed. Poor little dear. So we'll skip that one and DH will just have to take me on it twice on Saturday cuz it's my fave.

We'll meet whatever princesses and characters we can - we'll check the app to see who's where. I'm sure we'll grab something to eat at some point. Bengal BBQ is a must and DH and I love the gumbo at DL. Depending on how we're feeling (I'm thinking DN and I may still be full from our AG late lunch?) we'll either go to Cafe Orleans or just grab a bread bowl gumbo from Royal Street Veranda in NOS. Then we'll probably try to find a spot for the parade around 7:45-8ish.
I'm super excited to see MSEP! I haven't seen it since I was a kid and I have such fond memories of it. My mom would play the soundtrack in the car all the time and it will be so amazing to see again. After the parade we'll get ready for the fireworks at 9:25 - and probably send DH off to get us some tasty firework treats!

A churro sounds so good right now...
I'm really hoping that SIL, BIL, and princess have lots of energy and want to close the park out with us since they leave the next day. It may be wishful thinking, but I want to spend as much time with them as possible! If I just give DN tons of sugar, she'll stay up right?!


The park is open until midnight, so I doubt I'll be able to convince them to stay out the whole time, but even another hour or so after fireworks would be great. We'll ride whatever DN wants to and I'm sure spoil her rotten at the shops on Main Street on their way out.

DH and I will probably close it down regardless of what time they head out, so I'm sure we'll be dead to the world as soon as we drag ourselves into the hotel room and hit the pillows.
Must Dos:
BBB & AG (duh)
Meet Princesses
Meet as many of the Fab Five as we can - definitely Mickey and Minnie
Get a silhouette with DN. DH and I have a silhouette of us from every Disney trip and I have 2 of me when I was little so we HAVE to get one with DN. This is super top of my list.
Fireworks
Teacups with princess
DH & I would love pictures with Donald and Daisy if at all possible during the day since we're Disneybounding as them and that would just be fun
Outfits:
Daytime - DH and I are Disneybounding as Donald and Daisy. I'm pretty excited about this one as I get to wear a poofy dress and DH will have on a cute little bow tie!!

I may get a little warm, but I'll suffer in the name of fashion.
Nighttime - My friend works at an awesome vintage store here in Seattle and found the most fabulous sleeveless blouse that has castles, carriages and princesses printed on it. I obviously had to buy it! So I'll be wearing that in the evening (if I decide to change at some point) with a comfy black skirt and some fun red accessories.

And my sequin Minnie ears of course!
