Disney - Day 2

We started our 2nd day with breakfast in Cinderella's castle. This was one of my favorite things that we did at Disney and Elyse's too! Elyse got to meet Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty (one of her favorites!), Ariel and Belle. All of the princesses were so sweet with Elyse, calling her princess and twirling her around. She loved it! All the girls got wishing stars and a wand and once all the princesses had made it around to all the tables they had a "Wishing Ceremony". The girls had to twirl their wands in the air and make a wish and they had twinkly lights going all around the ceiling during the wishing ceremony. It was all very magical =) Oh - I thought the food was great too - it's hard to beat fresh fruit and cream cheese stuffed french toast - yummy!

While the girls and grandpa were at breakfast, the boys explored Tomorrowland and we met up with them in Toon Town Fair. Elyse really wanted to meet Tinkerbell and friends, so Kailey and I stood in line with Elyse. Elyse got to meet Fawn, Tinkerbell and Terence. Fawn is the animal fairy and asked Elyse what was her favorite animal. Elyse said a kitty, of course, and Fawn took Elyse's wand and tried to turn Elyse into a kitty. Elyse thought this was so funny! Fawn told Elyse that her wand must be broken because it wasn't working. While we were in "Pixie Hollow" - Andrew discovered Goofy's Barnstormer - a kiddie roller coaster that he loved!!! He rode it 3 times that morning.

Then we headed to Epcot. We took the monorail from the Magic Kingdom to Epcot - which the boys loved and was a nice change from the busses. While in Epcot we rode Nemo and saw Turtle Talk with Crush. We got fastpasses for Test Track and decided the kids (and us!) could really use a break from the heat. So, we headed back to the resort for lunch and naps. We returned to Epcot later in the afternoon, rode Test Track and then had dinner at Le Cellier in Canada. This must have been the day for great meals because I had a delicious Filet at dinner. I would highly recommend eating at Le Cellier, especially if you are a steak lover! I also got to try their Cheese soup - which was wonderful also. We got out of dinner just in time to get a spot to watch Illuminations. After Illuminations we got in line for Soarin - which was an hour long but so worth it! One of my favorite rides at Disney!! Tric and grandma took the boys on a few rides like Spaceship Earth and Living with the Land while we were waiting to ride Soarin. Everyone else headed back to the hotel after we got done with Soarin - but Jeff really wanted to ride Mission Space. So the kids and I waited while Jeff rode Mission Space. I'm glad he got to ride it because that was one of his favorite rides of the week.
