Our Magical Gathering Trip Report

[Nee Nee and Biddy]

Since I reviewed the food in my dining review, I'll basically just post some more pics of the breakfast. This was so much fun! Sam wasn't too impressed, but everyone else loved it. I loved watching Will interact with the Princesses. Sophie was a little shy, but happy.

This was a beautiful Belle. She looked really pretty. Will was in awe.

We had a lot of room to spread out.

Mom, me and Gemma

This is my favorite picture of the whole trip!

My little ladies man

Is this sweet or what???

After eating our fill, we headed to Soarin' to meet up with Mimi and Papa. Unfortunately, time was slipping away and we didn't get out of breakfast until 9:45! Can you believe that? We had missed the Soarin' rope drop run and my touring plan was slowly going down the tubes. Oh well.

Up Next: Our Epcot morning.

The breakfast looks so fun! We are doing the PSB lunch in September. I wanted the breakfast after seeing your pics in the dining review... YUM... but we could only get lunch. Oh well!!!

Can't wait to read more about your day at Epcot!

I chose PSB because I've eaten in the castle before and it was good, but it didn't really live up to the hype or the price. IMO. We loved Norway, and I felt it was worth the money. No, Cinderella wasn't there, but sometimes they surprise you with her. I won't go back to the castle until my little girl is old enough to enjoy it. Until then it's Norway for us!

Thanks for reading! I'll have another post up asap.

ITA!!! The first time we ate at PSB, we had Ariel (posing for pics), Mulan, Jasmine, and Alice. Great for us, because we didn't see Mulan or Alice anywhere else that trip! Just last month when we ate there, we had Belle (posing for pics) Ariel, Jasmine, Alice, AND........CINDERELLA! What a nice surprise for us! Then we were able to see SW and Aurora in Epcot, so no need to visit the tent in ToonTown since we already saw them all!

Followed you over from your great dining report.

Don't you just love POFQ? We were in Room 3233 on our last trip & it was great. We enjoyed it so much we're going back in Sept;

Can't wait to read more. Thanks.

I love Will's face with the Princesses, so cute

 

[karajeboo]

You'd better watch Will - he looks like a ladies man!

We loved our PSB lunch... twice! Looks like you had some great princesses, too!

 

[Nee Nee and Biddy]

We left the Princess breakfast full and happy, and headed to the Land to get Soarin' Fastpasses. Fastpasses in hand, we headed over to see Nemo. The sun was BLAZING hot and it was barely 10:00. However, it was nice and cool inside and there was no line for the ride! Yay! They did have to shut the ride down so Papa could get on, so we apologize to any little kid that was sitting in the part of the ride with that scary fish with all the teeth!

Will and I in our clamobile. You can see Mimi and Papa in the back.

Will has seen the scary fish and I'm telling him to count his teeth. What a silly fish!

After the ride, Will hitched a ride with Papa and we headed over to see Crush.

Crush was lots of fun, but Will decided that he didn't want to sit up front with the kids. That's OK, he still enjoyed it.

At this point, Gemma needed to eat, and we were a million miles away from the baby center. I found a quiet corner in The Seas and fed her while everyone else checked out the Manatees (which are awesome by the way!). Here's a shot of my Hooter Hider:

Will was loving exploring the Seas with Papa.

After this, we still needed to waste some time before our fastpasses were ready, so we headed over to the Figment ride. Will loved this ride. I was not so impressed but I think it may be perfect for the toddler demographic. Sophie was also a fan.

At this point we could ride Soarin' but we had to take turns since the 3 little ones couldn't ride. We got a table at Sunshine Seasons with some snacks and waited. Everyone left me and my mom with the kids. Sophie got offended in some way and threw a little fit. Here's a shot (notice me laughing in the background?):

Ironically, there are many pictures of myself during my first trip to WDW that look just like this. Boy, there are a lot of mad kids at Disney World! After all the drama, I got to ride Soarin' with my mom and Sam. It was wonderful as usual! I literally could ride that ride all day. At this point we all split up. Mom and Amanda did not want to leave, and my kids needed a nap. Billy wanted to swim. I just wanted to get out of the heat! My little family headed back to POFQ for some rest.

Up Next: Leaving Epcot for a break

I just got my Photopass pictures today and I can't wait to share!

On our way out of Epcot, both kids fell asleep in the stroller so we got to have some photopass pictures taken of ourselves. I love these pictures! Why is it once you have kids you don't get pictures taken as a couple anymore?

When we made it back to POFQ, we grabbed a bite to eat at the food court and it was good, as always. We got back to our blissfully air conditioned room and the kids and I just passed out. Billy headed to the pool with his mom. Here's some pictures they took:

I love this pool!

Here's Billy enjoying some time without any kids!

After a few hours we headed back to Epcot with the plan to explore the World Showcase and grab some dinner at Morocco. It started to rain when we were walking to the bus stop, but it stopped just in time to get a picture of this rainbow!

Disney Magic!

I called Amanda and Mom when we got there to see where they were. It started pouring again, so we hid under a walkway for a while. Amanda and her crew showed up, and you can see that Sophie was in another good mood:

This is what happens when you don't take a break and make three year olds go all day in the parks!

Will and Gemma were excited:

We sat here for a while and the rain finally stopped. We started walking to the WS but stopped at a hat stand. I found some sorcerer Mickey ears and had to get them. Papa got a pirate hat and it looked great. We were all laughing because he kept saying Arrgh! to passerbys. Most people said it right back!

Up next: More Epcot fun.
