Disney Vacation 2011 Day 3

We slept in a little bit on the third day since we had went to bed at midnight the night before.  We got snacks for breakfast at Everything Pop Food Court… I don’t remember what we had but it was probably something healthy like chocolate muffins.  We rode the bus over to Magic Kingdom… the bus was pretty full and we had to stand.  It made me sad that there were so many men sitting there while a pregnant lady and her 4 year old had to stand :-(

We arrived at Magic Kingdom around 9:30am and saw some characters with really short lines as soon as we walked in.

Hailey got to meet Pinocchio.

Hailey did a quick pose with Roy Disney and Minnie while I waited in line for the next character.

Then she met Pluto.

Us in the most magical place on earth :-)

The castle

We went over to the Rapunzel meet and greet since we had been told that her line gets very long during the day.  I waited in line for Rapunzel while Rich took Hailey to keep her occupied.

Hailey got to meet the White Rabbit and Alice in Wonderland.

Hailey loves riding the tea cups!

Then it was time for them to come back to meet Rapunzel.

Hailey worked on coloring a picture while waiting for her turn to see Rapunzel.

Hailey gave her picture to Rapunzel and Rapunzel told her she was going to hang it up at her house.

Hailey and Rapunzel.  Hailey asked Rapunzel if Flynn still causes a lot of trouble.  Rapunzel said he is always eating all of the cookies and then he gets in trouble with her.

After meeting Rapunzel Hailey had to stop and try to pull the sword from the stone (she didn’t pull it out) and then we were on our way to go on some rides:

We rode It’s a Small World (love the 5 minute wait on the sign!).

Hailey didn’t like the ride, she said it made her feel dizzy.  She also didn’t like having the song stuck in her head.

We went to see Mickey’s Philharmagic, definitely one of Hailey’s favorite attractions.

In line for Peter Pan- one of Hailey’s favorite rides.

I love her beautiful eyes!  This was on the Peter Pan ride.

Next we rode Snow White’s Scary Adventure.

This ride will be gone the next time we are there.  I’m not sure when they are closing it but I’m glad we got to go on it again during this trip.  It’s not one of our favorite rides, so we’re not too sad they are closing it, but it’s still fun.

In line for the Pirates of the Caribbean- I think this was either her mad face or her pirate face.

Little sword fight in the store while it was pouring out.

I decided to brave the rain and go get a Pineapple Dole Whip- yummy!!  The best snack there is!!  Plus there was no line since it was raining :-) And then we saw that Tiana had no wait, so Hailey went to meet her!

We rode the Haunted Mansion next and checked out the new queue.  There was a lot of fun stuff going on.  It was hard to keep Hailey moving in line though, she kept wanting to play with all the neat stuff.

Then it was time for the parade.  I absolutely love the parades!   Hailey played with a hula hoop while we waited for it to start.

Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade- Jessie

Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade- Donald Duck

Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade- Stitch

Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade- Mickey and Minnie

Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade- Geppetto

Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade- Jafar

Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade- Cinderella and Prince Charming

We had an early dinner reservation at 3:20 at the Crystal Palace and it was perfect timing after the parade

Hailey tried on a hat while we waited for our table.  We have always had to wait for a while during past visits for our table at the Crystal Palace, even though we had a reservation.  But this time we waited less than 5 minutes.  Yay!

Having fun :-)

I have no idea what she was laughing at but I love this picture!  Also notice me and my hand sanitizer… we all stayed healthy during our trip though, so my OCD paid off.

Rich and I were both really disappointed in our dinner.  It was fun because Hailey got to see the characters.  We have always eaten here during every trip but I think we’ll take a break next time.  The food choices and quality seemed to be really lacking.  And our waiter was awful.  He never even brought our drinks out until we were going up for seconds at the buffet.  Obviously that just depends on who your waiter/waitress is.  But the food wasn’t as good as we remembered it being.

After dinner we went to the Laugh Floor… I’m always nervous during the show because I really don’t want to get picked on.  The shows are so funny and so different every time but I hate sitting there worrying I might get picked on.

Then we went to see Dream With Mickey

Goofy, Donald, Mickey and Minnie

Hailey yelling “Dreams come true!”

Then we rode Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin… a definite favorite for Hailey.

Rich and Hailey went on the Tomorrowland Speedway… Hailey on the phone while driving.  I don’t know if that’s against the law in Florida.

Here is a little peek at the Beast’s castle that is being built right now.  Hopefully it will be open when we go back next year.

We rode the Winnie the Pooh ride and Hailey had fun playing in the new queue area.  It’s so interactive and so much fun!!

Lastly we rode Peter Pan one more time before heading to Hollywood Studios for Extra Magic Hours.

Arriving at Hollywood Studios

First we rode the Great Movie Ride and then we headed off to see Fantasmic!  We’ve never seen it before because in past years we thought Hailey might be scared of it.  I’ve heard so many people say how amazing it is, so we were pretty excited to see it.  My opinion was that it was good, but not as amazing as I expected it to be.  And unless Rich or Hailey wants to go see it again, I probably wouldn’t go back.  We did enjoy it, I just think once was enough for me.

During the finale of Fantasmic!

Lastly we saw the Muppet 3D show.  Hailey just loves the 3D shows!

Getting ready to head back to the hotel.  The main thing I remember when I see this picture is how much my feet hurt.  Never in my life have my feet ever hurt so much.  I don’t know if it was because I was pregnant or what… I wore the same shoes as always so it wasn’t my shoes.  So I will blame it on being pregnant.

It was another midnight bedtime again!  It sure felt good to lay down when we got back!!

Favorites for the day: Hailey’s favorite ride was Peter Pan, Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin and the Haunted Mansion (she couldn’t pick just one) and her favorite character was Rapunzel
