When we got back to our room on day 6, Hailey had found this note waiting for her:

So we got up bright and early on day 7 to head to the castle for an early breakfast reservation.  We were all pretty tired at this point in our trip.

Main St was mostly empty when we arrived at Magic Kingdom.

I love being in the park when it’s empty!

Hailey had her eyes closed and was making a wish… she wished for a puppy.

It’s really neat to get to eat inside the castle… we had dinner in there 2 years ago and it was a lot of fun.  We wanted to try breakfast since I’ve heard the food is better at breakfast.  The food was amazing!  I had stuffed french toast and it was so delicious!  It’s expensive to eat in the castle and if you’re on the meal plan you have to use up 2 meals to eat in there.  But the experience of eating inside the castle is well worth it to me, and seeing the look Hailey’s face is priceless!!

After breakfast Hailey had to stop and try to pull the sword from the stone again before we headed off to some rides.  She wasn’t able to pull it out.

Getting ready to ride on Dumbo

A little peek at The Beast’s castle that is being built.

In front of the Beast’s castle is a new ride they are working on- I think this is going to be the new Snow White and Seven Dwarfs ride, although I’m not positive.

New Fantasyland is being worked on behind that wall.  I can’t wait to see what it’s like when we go back!

Next up we rode Peter Pan, then headed over to Splash Mountain.  When we were at Magic Kingdom earlier in the week Splash Mountain was closed and Hailey really wanted to try riding it again (it scared her last year).  So we got there early before the line got long so Hailey could see if she liked it.

Waiting to get on

Rich and Hailey in the 3rd row back.  Hailey’s face doesn’t look very happy but when she got off she said she loved it!  So they rode again

Meeting Jessie

A little dance with Woody.  Hailey asked Woody if he had a snake in his boot.

Then Rich and Hailey rode Splash Mountain again!

Rich and Hailey in the front- Hailey with both hands in the air!!

Very happy on Splash Mountain

She loved Splash Mountain!

Next we went to the Enchanted Tiki Room- it had been newly refurbished so we had to check it out.  We aren’t really big fans of it though.  It was just okay, not something we wanted to go on again.

Just had to post this picture of what we had on the back of Hailey’s stroller.  Since everyone with young kids has a stroller in Disney World it can get hard to find your stroller in the stroller parking (especially since the Cast Members are always rearranging and organizing the strollers, so it’s never where you actually leave it).  Having this little sign made it so much easier to find Hailey’s stroller!  I think this trip did her stroller her in though hahaha…  it definitely has a lot of miles on it from 4 trips to Disney World!

Next up we met some fairies:

Hailey meeting Terrence

The scepter, which Hailey was very excited to see.

Hailey and Tinkerbell

After a quick snack it was time for more rides!

Waiting to go on Magic Carpets of Aladdin.

In line at the Jungle Cruise… Hailey had gotten tired of walking (we had parked her stroller), but Rich didn’t want to carry Hailey.  He told her that she was too old to be carried but if she could find another kid that looked to be about her age being carried that he would carry her.  Well it only took about a minute and she saw a boy who was the same size as her being carried by his dad.  She was quite pleased that she won and Rich had to carry her.

Country Bear Jamboree… always a good place for me to take a quick nap… hahaha

Rich and Me

Hailey taking a nap.  I love that she was able to nap in her stroller when she needed to.  That was one of my favorite things about having a stroller with us… we actually debated bringing one this year since she was almost 5.  But I needed somewhere to keep all our stuff (drinks, autograph books, medications, etc) and I love that Hailey could nap in it when she needed to so we didn’t have to go all the way back to our hotel for naps.  Plus when you average 10 miles of walking each day it’s nice not to have to make a child do that much walking.

After Hailey’s nap we rode Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin.

Can you see the Hidden Mickey we found?  It’s on the planet Earth if you need some help.

Rich and Hailey on Tomorrowland Speedway

We were getting hungry at this point so we went to Pinocchio Village Haus for dinner… we sat where we could watch the “It’s a Small World” ride and enjoyed our dinner.

We went to Mickey’s Philharmagic after dinner and found lots of little Hidden Mickey’s on this wall.

Then we headed back over to Splash Mountain so Hailey could ride it again… and again… and again!  She rode it 6 times all together in one day

View from Splash Mountain

Next we went on the Haunted Mansion

Love the new queue they have there!

Little Miss

One more ride on Peter Pan

Good night Main St

We went back to our hotel and went to bed “early” at around 10:30 pm.

Hailey’s favorites: Ride- Splash Mountain

Character- Sleeping Beauty
