So after our perfect little Woody and Jessie interaction,
we were all wandering around the Magic Kingdom in a happy little bubble. In our minds, there wasn’t much that could top that little interaction. Like most of our park days, we had no concrete agenda or touring plan. Our friends just had a list of “must-do” attractions for their MK day, but otherwise, we just let our little girl point the way. Of course she did it all in her Jessie outfit for a while there. Since it was February, the weather was perfect for her to walk around in that costume. Not too hot, and not so cold that she needed a jacket.
We were getting a bit hungry by that point, so we stopped off to eat at Pecos Bill. I think I forgot to mention that while we were waiting in the super long line for Woody and Jessie, Auntie Nini and I had run over to grab FP for Splash Mountain. Uncle G and my husband weren’t feeling up to rides that day, so we used their park tickets to get FP for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. It worked out perfectly that the return times were within an hour window of each other, and by the time we had made it through the meet and greet, it was time for us to ride!
So while our little girl left with the boys to get lunch first, we hopped on the two nearby mountains for our rides. I was so happy because on our recent trips, I have rarely gotten the chance to ride BTMRR and Splash Mountian, especially with a friend. Since it was with my best friend, I was even happier! I don’t know how we never managed a Disney trip between the two of us before. Oh yeah, we were always poor college students back then.
We then met back up with the boys and our little girl back at Pecos Bill. They had finished with their lunches so we just grabbed our food and gobbled it down. We didn’t want to hold up the group too much.
We then peeked around Toontown a little bit. Auntie Nini and Uncle G wanted to see it one last time before it was closed off and gone for good. One last visit to Minnie and Mickey’s Country houses. One last look at the Barnstormer before it gets rethemed. One last look around at the general area.
Looks like this little cowgirl can’t get in.
Apparently we headed over to engage in a little Space Ranger Spin shortly after (it’s been so long that I totally can’t recall exactly).
Auntie Nini’s face is totally indicative of the kind of people we turn into when we are at Disney (or at least us girls). Everything is just fun and happy, so who needs a plan? We just run around enjoying our time in the parks and going on all of our favorite rides.
Apparently we ran into this friendly little alien on our way out of Tomorrowland.
For some reason, Stitch never seems to scare our little one. Maybe because all of his extra little arms and legs have been tucked in?
I never really noticed before, but does Stitch rock a little goatee? Hunh.
After we ran into Stitch, we took a little “break.” Auntie Nini needed to go on Carousel of Progress while we were in the neighborhood and the rest of us decided it would be a nice little rest period. Secretly, I was hoping that my little cowgirl would take a little nap during the show, but you know what they say about the best laid plans. Nope, the song proved to be too catchy for her and she totally enjoyed watching the little dog in each scene. The two men may have gotten the little nap instead.
Next we went on a favorite ride of mine, once again hoping to coax a little nap out of our little one. We hopped on the Peoplemover to enjoy our little tour of the park. I love to just sit back, out my feet up and just enjoy the ride. Once again, no nap, but it was a nice relaxing ride up in the skies.
So after our little rest, we saw that it was time for a favorite of our little girl. It was Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It time! Yup, readers of my last TR will recall how often we saw that parade in May. You don’t think that my little cowgirl had forgotten about it do you? Of course not! She wanted to stay in her Jessie costume, but I convinced her to change out of it before the parade started. It had warmed up a bit and I didn’t want her getting too hot.
On our way to the front of Cinderella’s castle, we stopped off for a few PP pictures. This is a classic family photo.
I can’t even tell you how many photos like that we have. It is a classic snapshot of us. Then we composed ourselves a little bit.
We even got in a nice magic shot!
Auntie Nini and Uncle G got a few pictures themselves.
It was perfect because we got a couple of really great photos. Since we had preordered the cd, I was determined to make use of it. I was also hosting my best friend’s bridal shower back home in a month so I was able to get so many cute pictures from our Disney trip that I was able to put up around the house. The “proposal” photos were definitely displayed on the walls for the shower!
I love that they are both wearing Disney shirts! So cute! I think the only one that wasn’t wearing a Disney shirt was my husband. I don’t think I would have managed to get one on him.
Then we just HAD to get in a girls picture, especially since we were all wearing Minnie Mouse shirts. That was a fun coincidence!
And Minnie popped in for a photo as well.
After our little photo shoot, we continued on our way to grab some spots for the parade.

Thanks for joining in, though!

That is the kind of character meeting that all mom's hope that their kids get to have. I'm so happy that you had that moment!
