The BALD and the BEAUTIFUL go to DIZZY world! 4/2 epcot!

Lol about goofy being Jayden's potty. I bet you could wash it, but it would lose it's furriness.

So great that Reya is doing so well with the characters and gets to go on all those rides!

Your nieces are too cute with the modeling, I love it. Little girls are too funny. Glad they're getting into the autographs with Reya!

I showed DS the picture of Reya with the yellow ranger. He was SO excited and said that he was going to meet the power rangers at disney and bring them home. Uhhh...Not quite. I think someone is going to be a little disappointed!

Scary about tower of terror. I really liked when they had the lap bar instead. I always check my seatbelt like 50 times to make sure it's really hooked. Glad you're alright!

Crazy that it was so cold. Glad the cocoa was so cheap though! :laughing:

You're right it will loose it's fussiness. :( We ended up buying him a Mickey Mouse one and a hufflelump stuffed animal. He loves them both.

That's funny about your son. As a matter of fact I didn't even know that the Power Rangers were around anymore. I've never watched an episode, but I remember my now 18 year old nephew used to be obsessed with them many years ago.

To tell you the truth I liked that my seatbelt didn't work properly. LOL!! It was quite thrilling, nice adrenaline rush that's for sure. But I will definately be double checking my seatbelt from now on. My tounge was still a little numb yesterday that that cocoa. I think it was boiling.


I'm so happy that Reya is getting into the characters a bit more- I almost feel like I know your family now and I feel so proud of her! :goodvibes

Loving your updates- I really appreciate that you're doing this live, during your vacation- it's wonderful hearing about each day and your thoughts- thanks for sharing! ;)

Awe, thanks! :hug: I'm happy to share, and thanks for reading.

I'm back now and loving catching up on your TR! Great pictures! We had to cut our last day short because of the rain, too. :sad1: I can't wait to read more!!!!

That rain was crazy. Whenever I've gone to Florida and it rains, it'll just pour for a 1/2 hour to an hour and stop.. This constant ALL day rain was insane and depressing. My SIL left lost my umbrella 2 hours into buying it at the gift shop on Friday. :(

I hope you have a fabulous trip!
 
March 6th- Day three


This was definitely the day Reya had been most looking forward too for the last 9 months, today was the day she was finally going to have breakfast with all the princesses. princess: I dressed her in her beautiful Pink Cinderella dress that she had received as a Christmas gift from her Great-Grandma, and Marsha curled and put her hair up in a tiara.

Unfortunately the morning had started out really cold and I was worried that Reya wouldn’t be able to wear her dress all day like we had planned. :sad2: I made sure to bring some extra clothes just in case we needed to change her into something warmer after breakfast.

Ever since I've had Jayden I can't seem to be ontime for anything. So this day was no exception, we were running late and I was really freaking out when we boarded the monorail at 8:15 AM. :eek: ((Our ADR was for 8:20)) I called Disney dinning while we were on the monorail to ask them if they would hold our reservations for us if we’re late and she told me that they would for up to 20 minutes. Whew!:thumbsup2 When we finally arrived at Magic Kingdom I got those butterflies in my stomach like I always do, and it was really neat to be able to see the park when it was practically empty. :goodvibes I wished that we would have been able to take more advantage of it..... But because we were running so late and were in such a hurry we weren’t able to enjoy the peace and beauty of Main Street without all the crowds. :sad1:

When we arrived for our ADR we were immediately taken into the castle and there was Cinderella. Reya was so happy! :yay: It was definitely one of those moments where I almost broke down in tears. :cloud9: All three of the girls got their picture taken with her and then I got a picture with just Reya. When it was the next persons turn Reya didn’t want to leave, she just wanted to stay and chat with Cinderella all day.:hug:

After meeting Cindy we made our way up the spiral staircase to the dinning hall.

The girls were given magic wands and wishing stars when we were seated at our table. Reya was so excited and was pointing to all the princesses scattered around the room. She wanted so badly to get up and run over to them but we of course had to restrain her and convince her that they were all going to come to our table to visit. :rotfl:

The food was yummy, Reya was having the time of her life, and I was one happy mommy. :goodvibes The only thing that upset me was that Jayden slept during the entire breakfast. Normally this wouldn’t bother me, usually when he sleeps during a meal it’s the best treat ever, because it rarely ever happens.:sad2: But, I had really wanted to get some pictures with him and the princesses. However there was no way I was going to wake him, because I’d rather having a sleeping baby then a screaming baby. :rolleyes:

For the most part I really enjoyed the whole experience and I’m glad that we did it. I still think the price was a little steep, but it did Include 3 8x10 photos and 12 4x6’s, so that made me feel a little better about paying so much. ;)


To be continued…….​
 
Reya looked adorable. So glad she enjoyed it. We took DS a few years ago. DH was not happy that I booked it (a guy thing:rolleyes1) but we all had a nice time.

popcorn::Look forward to your next update.

Aww, Reya looked so cute in that dress! It sounds like she was really excited! So glad she got to meet her princesses!

Glad they held your table for you, but sorry you had to go through all that stress of worrying for nothing! Good thinking, calling Disney Dining!
 

Great idea calling Disney Dining! I never would have thought of that!

Reya looks just like the Princesses! Beautiful!

LOL.... Did your son like it? We definately did it for my DD's sake. Everyone did. She absolutely loved it, so it was worth every penny. We only have so long that she's going to enjoy the princess phase. :(

Thanks.... the pictures really didn't do her justice. She was so cute. She was so happy too because everyone she ran into called her princess. :)

I kinda thought there was no way they could cancel my reservation. I DID prepay over 250.00 for that breakfast, so it would have been pretty messed up if they did. I'm glad it all worked out in the end.

Thank you!

I overheard one dad tell his son while we were waiting in line for a ride. "" Hey son, you complained that you haven't seen any princesses so far, there's one right there" and pointed to Reya. She loved that. Everyone really did treat her like a little princess. :cutie:
 
Whew, I am glad they will hold reservations. We have a few early morning ones, that we requested, so I am hoping I can get everyone up and on the move for them. Yay for a great experience at CRT!! That is a nice amount of pictures you get (but I agree, I still think it is expensive).
 

Well I was going to post another post, except jayden just woke up screaming. He's running a fever now and doesn't want to be put down. My poor baby. We're all getting sick around here. I'm sure it's due to the eratic weather on our trip.... One day it's warm, next it's cold, next it's warm, next it's raining. :confused3
I'll have another post or two up tomorrow.

Joining in! Looks like you guys are having a great trip!! Can't wait to read more!


Welcome! Thanks for readng!

Jayden REALLY slowed us down on this trip... We were never REALLY late for anything. I would wake up ontime, but no matter what I could never get out the door ontime. It's going to take a LOT of practice, just like it did with Reya.

As far as CRT, I just wish you could have opted out of the pictures and then you wouldn't have to pay as much. I think the photos I took were just as good if not better then what the photographers did. As a matter of fact I'm thinking that I'm not going to purchase the photopass because I think my pictures are just fine. Haven't decided yet.
 
After breakfast we all made our way towards Fantasy Land. :yay: Our first ride of the day was going to be Peter Pans Flight, but on our way over we ran into one of the Ugly Stepsisters, she was trying REALLY hard to pull the Sword from the Stone. ((Guess she didn’t have what it takes)) But she was fun to watch. :rotfl:

Florida041-1.jpg


Our 1st ride of the day was Peter Pan. I couldn’t believe there was only a 5 minute wait! :woohoo:

Florida045.jpg


Reya rode with her daddy and me. At the beginning of the ride she was a little scared, but got over her fear pretty quickly. ;)

The next ride was the Haunted Mansion. Once again only a 5 minute wait!! :woohoo: I was thrilled at how light the crowds were thus far. I knew that we made the right decision on coming when we did, I really was hoping that we would miss the Spring Break crowds completely. ((Will we?)):confused3

Florida046-1.jpg


Reya ended up doing really well on this ride too. She was a little terrified of the “stretching room”, but once she got on the actual ride, she loved it. :thumbsup2


After HM we were making our way towards Frontier Land. We really didn’t have any destination in mind, we were just enjoying the fact that there was barely anybody there. We saw Splash Mountain in the distance and the older girls really wanted to ride it. This is probably my all time favorite Disney ride, but I wasn’t about to get wet with the chill that was in the air. It wasn’t freezing out, but once the breeze hit you or you were sitting in the shade you could definitely feel it. DH and DBIL decided to take Breanna and Valerie while the rest of us stayed behind. I figured there was NO way Reya would want to ride it, so she and Marsha went to the viewing area to watch the logs come down the hill and I found a place to sit and feed Jayden. I guess while watching all the boats drop into the briar patch Reya started begging to ride it. :eek: This REALLY surprised me because she’s the biggest wuss when it comes to most of the rides. After DH got off the first time he decided to go ahead and take Reya on. It was only a 10 minute wait, so why not?!? :confused3 Valerie let her wear her New Moon sweatshirt so she wouldn’t get her Princess dress wet. :goodvibes Unfortunately I didn’t make it over to the viewing area in time so watch her come down the hill, but she LOVED it. What a brave little girl I have. ((So I thought at the time anyway))

After Splash Mountain we headed towards Pirates of the Caribbean,and on our way we saw Jessie. Reya really wanted to meet her so we got the autograph books out and stood in line.

Florida047.jpg


She was probably one of my favorite characters there. She took a little extra time with the kids and played around with them instead of pushing us on our way in a hurry.

Florida052-1.jpg


POTC was our next adventure. Another 5 minute wait. Reya did fabulously and Jayden slept the whole time.

Florida054.jpg


After Pirates we went to the Jungle Cruise. It was only a 10 minute wait!! While we were in line everyone kept commenting on Reya and how beautiful she looked in her dress. She was loving all the attention, and was loving how everyone was calling her Princess ALL DAY! princess: Anyway, I think our cruise through the Jungle was pretty entertaining. I always think it depends on your “ Adventure Guide”? If you have someone who is outgoing and funny it makes the ride so much more enjoyable. I believe on our last trip our guide really lacked in personality and I didn't enjoy the ride as much, but this time our guide was hilarious.:lmao:

He was six so it really wasn't a big deal, I thought. He like the sword and actually spent more time looking out over the park instead of paying attention to the princesses. We had breakfast as well and the meal was actually good.

Aww, this is my favorite update yet! I do like the forshadowing though...

Those stepsisters seem to be out a lot now, I don't think I've ever seen them!

What a great picture of the haunted mansion. Is it sad that I don't think I've seen the mansion from that angle? It looks great...more like disneyland's mansion, which I like much better than the one at disneyworld.

How completely adorable is it that Reya is doing the pose with Jessie backwards? That must be the cutest picture I've ever seen! :lovestruc

Gotta love a sleeping baby, and your nieces are so pretty!

Reya is so brave this trip! Even if it changes, she's still been very brave so far!

Very exciting to have no crowds, and I'm so glad everyone called Reya princess all day...I'm sure she just ate up all that extra attention. That's so great with a new baby, because like it or not, babies take up a lot of time, irregardless of what we do to try and make up for it! So I'm so happy that she's getting some special time to herself!

Great update!

I agree I like the haunted mansion at DLR better too.

Reya always does EVERYTHING backwards. :rotfl: I love that picture! She just couldn't get what she was supposed to do, it was hilarious. But it makes for a very cute photo.

I was really amazed at how well Jayden slept. I couldn't have asked for a better baby during the entire trip.

I was very proud of Reya..... She did so well and was brave most of the time. I made sure to let her know just how proud I was as often as I could.

And you're so right about the attention thing. It's been very hard dividing up my time and attention between both kids and reya has adjusted amazingly. It was nice that she could feel so special that day.
 
loving the updates! At least you can decide on whether to order the photopass cd until after you see the pictures (at least that is my impression, I may be incorrect).

Thank you.... You are correct, you can view your photos before opting to buy or not. Which is very nice. There is only 3 or 4 photos that I want, so I don't think it's really worth it.
