Our 5th Day at Disney!

We woke at 5:00am again to get ready for breakfast at the Castle. We hadn't told Hannah where we were going until we were on our way.

The Grand Floridian Hotel. I would love to stay there someday!

We had to wait to get in Magic Kingdom, then we had some Photopass pictures taken.

See Tinkerbelle in Hannah's hand?



These 2 pictures were taken inside the castle looking either direction. Ben was having fun while we waited to check in.

Then we checked into Cinderella's Royal Table.

Soon we had our picture taken with Cinderella, and we shown to our table.
We had to take a picture of the cool plate!

Hannah was in awe of the princesses and was acting so shy. She would barely talk to them. But
she did have fun!
Snow White was thrilled that Hannah matched her!
Hannah loved getting a "magic wand" and Owen (well really Ben) enjoyed playing with the sword!
Hannah's true self! Ha!
Sleeping Beauty and Hannah
Jasmine signing the book.
Owen did better with the princesses, but still wasn't too sure.
Belle was telling Hannah how beautiful she was.
I think Owen was smiling at Belle!


Gus and Jaq are watching over Cinderella.
After breakfast, it was time for Owen's first ride on Dumbo. He slept through most of the line and woke up right before we got on. Owen rode with Ben and Hannah rode with me. I guess it is fair, because I got to take Hannah on her first Dumbo ride back in 2006. Even though I am 32, Dumbo is still one of my favorite rides!






Then we headed to Toontown in hopes of meeting some Fairies, well that was my plan, however, it was quickly derailed by Hannah seeing Minnie's house. Hannah wanted to walk though, so we did. It was neat to see all the little touches. After Minnie's House we headed to Pixie Hallow, but by then the wait was 90 minutes! Hannah said she didn't want to wait in a long line, so we were on our way.

Then Hannah wanted to go through Mickey's house. I sent she and Ben to do that while I took Owen to Toontown Park.








I let Owen crawl around at the Toontown Park. Owen was thrilled to be out of the stroller for a bit.

Hannah played for a short while and then wanted to ride on Goofy's Barnstormer. There was only a short wait and soon Hannah and Ben were on there way. Since the wait was so short, when they were done Hannah and I went.


Hannah was ready for a cool down at Donald's Boat after that. I gave Owen a bottle while she and Ben played.

Then we headed to Snow White and got right on, Hannah enjoyed the ride because we talked about the mean witch before hand and she had seen the movie.



Hannah and I tried to pull the sword out of the stone, Hannah swears it wiggled.
Then we were on our way to ride the carousel. Owen didn't want to ride on a horse, so we ended up sitting for the ride. He liked that better because he could look around.

Next, we headed for Mickey's PhilharMagic. We loved that show! It was great! Then it was time to refuel! We decided on Pinocchio's Village Haus for lunch.


During lunch, both kids fell asleep, so we walked to Tomorrowland and looked around for a short line. Stitch's Great Escape had a stand-by line of 10 or 15 minutes, so we took turns riding on that. I enjoyed it. We had never been on it since they changed it to Stitch. Luckily, we found a shady spot to sit in while the other person went on the ride. While Ben was riding, both kids woke up and then we headed to the Haunted Mansion.

Hannah was so excited to ride. She really seemed to enjoy it. We did have to reassure her a few times that the ghosts were not real.
