Disney Day 2: Magic Kingdom

We started our day by sleeping in a little (as much as you can when you are excited about vacation) and getting to the small pool by our room. We knew that we would be staying late tonight for extra magic hours (from 11:00 pm - 1:00 am) so we didn't want to get to the parks TOO early! We swam, got ready and made it to the park by 10:30 am. We rode rides, ate lunch, rode rides, met characters and then Courtney had her Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservation at 4:00. This was so cool! She was given the royal treatment from the second she walked in. I think we got extra lucky, too, because our fairy godmother spent forever with Courtney. A little girl next to us started 10-15 minutes after us and finished well before us! Then we took some pictures around the castle, rode some rides and at 7:00 had dinner with Cinderella and other princesses at Cinderella's Royal Table in the Disney Castle! All the princesses came to our table. Cinderella and Snow White remembered Courtney from meeting her earlier in the day and the night before! Then, we rode more rides, saw the night parade, watched fireworks in our secret locale in the back of the park, rode more rides and wore our little girl out!

Snow White is pointing out Courtney's orange bows. Later at dinner she remembers Courtney and says "you aren't wearing your orange bows anymore"! Super impressed, Snow White!

Buzz Lightyear Ride! 





As soon as we came to dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table, you get a picture with Cinderella. As soon as we walked in, Cinderella said "Courtney, you came! Just like you said last night!"

Super excited for dinner with the princesses IN the castle! 









Wishing on her wishing star! 












Eating her chicken she so brazenly asked the waiter for! 










Finding these characters was super cool! 



Watching fireworks with characters! 






Late night, no wait, Small World boat ride. 


The only way to meet Belle is to go to her "show" in her  house. To get a picture with her, you have to be picked to be in the show. There are 8 or 10 people picked to play parts to act out how she met the beast. Courtney played the part of Chip!

Main Street at night. 

She lasted until midnight! About 11:45 she told us she was "reaching a level of tired".

This was the best day!
