It looks like you had a great day at Magic Kingdom! I haven't ever ridden Splash Mountain. The two times we have been there as a family I have had the excuse that Johanna wasn't tall enough. I think that excuse will be out the window this summer! 
Maybe Jo will be too chicken to ride! I don't know why I am worried about riding it. I have ridden all of the other rides-Space Mountain (which I hate and won't ride again), Tower of Terror (my sister forced me 
but it was okay), Rock and Roller Coaster (my sister forced me on this, too, but I liked it fine), Expedition Everest (sister again-are you sensing a pattern 
)
I have to tell you this story: I was sharing some of your TR with my two older daughters. I showed them the face paint/Dinosaur fiasco, and my middle daughter, Ruby, said (while shaking her head) "That is just so sad. That is just so sad. It's just SO sad." She really felt bad for your daughter. I thought that was cute.
You should try SM at least once. Then you will know for yourself if you like it. It is a very cute ride, but that drop KILLS me! The coasters don't really bother me as long as they don't have a drop. That's why I like the ones at Disney.
That is so sweet of your daughter to sympathize with my DD like that!
How funny! She was pitiful, but I am so glad that she bounced back.
Love the haircut story and the hair do!!! My DD8 got her first haircut before she was a year old! (mostly to cut bangs!)
I couldn't tell, but was your DD just putting up with you taking pictures? She has a sort of look that's not quite the big smile, so I wondered if she was thinking, "enough pictures Mom!" She's so cute!
What a great MK day! We really enjoyed Columbia too - it was our first time trying it.
I love how she called the grandparents! My kids do that too!
I know we were VERY late with the haircut thing. I thought the lady at the Barber Shop would look at me like I was crazy when I told her it was her first, but she didn't bat an eye over it.
No, DD doesn't mind the pictures at all. She has had a cmaera in her face since birth so she doesn't really even notice it too much. She didn't smile big much on this trip b/c she has lost 6 teeth in the last year and she is kind of self conscious about it. She either has holes where the teeth have recently fallen out or the permanent teeth are coming back in at different times which makes her teeth all different sizes right now. She doesn't like it at all. She's ready for all the permanent teeth to completley come in. I feel bad for her b/c her baby teeth were so perfect and straight. She deosn't understand that this is just part of growing up.
Brooklynn is due for a haircut this summer. It will be her 4th one there. Bella is also going to get her first haircut there this summer!
Aww, so sweet. Bella doesn't look like she even has much hair yet! My DD was like that too. And Brooklyn's little hair do was what inspired me to wait and have it done at MK. Her do that she got on your last TR was so cute!
Such great updates! Ah, the first haircut!
Yes, better late than never I guess!
While it was so bittersweet for you to have DD get her first haircut, having it done at the Magic Kingdom is just so cool! Love the ears and the updo! Was getting the confetti and gel out of her hair a pain?
Lots of fun rides and good food during your day! Love all the Christmas decorations! So pretty!
It was very special having it done there. No, the gel washed out very easily. Most of the confetti was gone by the end of the day anyway since we were riding BTMRR and stuff like that. I kept some of it though for my scrapbook! But you don't have to get the hair gel. They will do whatever you want. They do boys also and have special stuff to put in their hair as well.
Cute hair-do. They do not skimp on the colored 'glop', do they? Brooklynn immediately stuck her fingers up in her hair to feel it and got a handful of goo.
I very much enjoyed taking a trip through Magic Kingdom this morning before I go and face my Monday school day. We'll have lots to make up for from being out for snow days, but the snow days were still great!
I've never tried a strawberry shortcake sundae from Mrs. Potts, but it sure sounds good.
The umbrella is very cute.
Hope you got to see the Tiana showboat later. It was a cute show.
Yes, they go heavy on the gel! I remember reading that about Brooklyn so I told DD upfront "DO NOT TOUCH IT!" It takes a long time to dry too. It really stayed wet all day. But I really wanted her to do it after seeing Brooklyn in your last TR b/c hers was so cute. Maybe messy, but very cute!
I'm glad you got a little MK fix before heading out to school. That's the worst part about snow days........... you have to make them up!!
I should have taken a picture of the sundae. It was the best snack I think we have had at WDW.
We did see the showboat later in the trip. It was a very good show.
I love the sparkly hair do. I so want one but I think I'd feel like a fool.
Good for you for braving Splash Mountain. I've been on it once and you can barely see me at all because my face is buried in my Mom's shoulder. I didn't really like it. But I'm like you....I want to go on it because it is a cute ride. I was going to brave it this trip but it's down for refurb. Shucks.
You get your hair done if you want to! It's Disney, no one looks like a fool!
I was VERY brave on this trip if I do say so!
But I won't ride it again. I've done it twice, that is enough. Good for you for trying it one time though! At least you know for yourself how it is. That drop is killer!
How sweet that your DD got her first haircut in the MK and then to have it all glittery too, very pretty
Sounds as though you got to ride lots of attractions and well done for riding Splash even if it was your last time
It was a very special place to get a first haircut.
It was for sure my last time on SM. I now know that I am not cut out for SM, Dinosaur or TOT. I've never ridden TOT but I know the drop would kill me so I won't even attempt it. I can handle everything else though so that isn't too bad. I've seen worse ride chickens than me!
The countryside does look gorgeous but we're not equipped for it so it causes so much chaos, it is pretty though 
. We had a similar experience with my little brother on our 1st trip in 2004. Dad talked him into doing Space Mountain and he was screaming "I want mommy" the entire ride.
So sorry I made you late for school! 
I certainly was! 
OK, that may be a slight exaggeration, but you get the point. 
Well, my, my, what a difference a day can make! Tuesday, it was like a ghost town! It was such an incredibly awesome day to be at the MK! No offense to everyone who was there on Monday, but I was pretty glad that most of you were, well........................... gone!
