We managed to get a move on a little earlier today! LOL (not really!) We hadn't really been getting to the parks prior to 11 or 12 unless we had an ADR for breakfast. Today was no exception. It was raining a bit harder than it had been the previous days so we actually took our time to see if it would die down a bit. We finally made it to the bus and headed back to MK. Aubrey was excited because she was going to BBB! We had some time prior to her appt so we asked her if she wanted to ride a few things first. She chose PP as her first ride. (Bet you didn't see that coming!)
By now I am getting really tired of this darn ride!
She loved it once again and chose to watch MPH once again. Ashton loved it and was pointing at the screen like crazy. Aubrey sat in dh's lap and was singing the whole time!
It was finally time to head over to BBB. Aubrey did BBB last year but we did it at the DTD location. This time was the castle! I have to say, I like the DTD location better. There is a lot more room there and things were handled quite differently. I think it ran a bit smoother. We didn't have a bad experience, she enjoyed it but I felt crowded and rushed and like we were always in the way. Aubrey is quite the pro and knew exactly what to expect. She kept watching another little girl next to her because she was dressing as Ariel as well. Anyway, here is the video...

Does anybody else think she looks like Stephanie from Full House with her hair all pulled back? Everytime I look at it, I think of Stephanie Judith Tanner! I can just see her saying "How Rude!" LOL
Here are a few pics as well...
THE BIG REVEAL!!
Cinderellas Chair
After we left BBB, we went over to the cinema shop. We have a friend who is one of the watch artists there. So we stopped in to say HI and let little Ariel strut her stuff!
Once we were done visiting, we decided we needed to head on over to Epcot. We had ADR's for Norway in hopes of seeing Ariel. The rain was REALLY starting to pick up now so we decided to book it to the monorail while we could.
We arrived in Epcot early, but we didn't want to chance things. Ariel was very important after all. We decided to go see another friend of ours. Tiffany is one of the performers in the American Pavilion. We made it in perfect timing! They were getting ready to sing in roughly 5 mins!
Tiffany (along with the others of course!) sounded beautiful as ever. We visited for a few minutes before she had to get ready for the next show. It was great to catch up with her. Here is a pic of her, if you go by tell her Buddy and Debbie say Hello!
Now I should mention that Tiffany was a member of the group Truth. She has a wonderful talent and is currently working on an album as we speak! We are very excited for her and can't wait to hear it.
The rain was really, really coming down by now and the wind had picked up. Keeping our little princess dry and that hair in place was beginning to be a challenge. We went over to Norway to see if they could take us a bit early, but they couldn't. So we both rode Maelstrom with Aubrey while Ashton took a nap. We decided to just hang out at the exit to the ride for a while and rest. Then I realized there was a kidcot location in the store so we let Aubrey work on a mask until time to eat.
Aubrey was so excited when we finally got inside. We did the customary picture with Belle. Ashton would have nothing to do with it. He waved and ran! LOL We made it to our table and Aubrey immediately asked if Ariel was there. We had been preparing her that she may not be, but our waiter gave us the best news ever! Yes, she was there that night!
Aubrey barely touched her food, but she had a blast! First up was Cinderella.
Then Aurora...
Next was Jasmine
And finally the star of the show!!! ARIEL!!!
Now I have to tell you when Aubrey saw Ariel she nearly knocked her chair over. Thankfully, dh was quick enough and caught Aubrey and the chair! And in true 6 yo innocence, Aubrey turned to me and said "Mommy, Ariel is wearing MY dress!"
Then Ariel tried to spend some time with Ashton, but he decided to play coy..
Ariel and Aubrey discussed the fact that they looked a like and how much Aubrey wanted to eat with Ariel. Ariel was wonderful to say the least. She didn't rush from our table at all.
Our plan had been to ride SE once again before leaving the park. That plan got scrapped big time. LOL The wind and the rain were absolutely awful by this point. Today felt like a TS had come thru! We decided to high tail it to the room as fast as we could. By far this was the worst day of the trip weather wise, but I can assure you it was the highlight of the trip for Aubrey. We had one very happy princess on the way back. And a very tired one at that!
Up next..Day 8 Chef Mickey's here we come!
Nope not having it. He has ridden it twice though. We keep hoping he will decide he likes it. I know, bad parents.
The CM told us all to get into 1 car, well I looked at her like she had two heads because I could not imagine all 4 of us fitting into 1. When she finally saw that we weren't going to we had run out of belt and I had to jump over to the side with Ashton. LOL She stopped the belt and let me and Ashton get into our own car. So if you were riding Buzz around 5 pm on the 20th and got slightly delayed...we're very sorry! LOL
that was close
