I’m taking a short break from our Disney World pictures to bring you some fall related posts.

We made our annual trip to the pumpkin farm several weeks ago and I thought it was time to get some pictures posted.

Hailey had another big growth spurt this year- she got so tall!

Here she is in 2009- looking soooo little.

My sweet little miss

Hailey loved the bounce house and slide!

We had perfect weather and a wonderful day at the pumpkin farm!

After a short night we got up bright and early (thanks to another wake up call from the characters) to head to ‘Ohana for breakfast.

In order to get to the Polynesian resort we had to take a bus to Magic Kingdom and then get on the monorail to get to the Polynesian.  Hailey was busy making plans for after breakfast while we rode on the monorail.

Stitch had a little fun with Rich before stopping to see Hailey.

Hailey was soooo excited to meet Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen.  They actually spent quite a bit of time talking to her.  Hailey asked Tiana what it felt like to be a frog.  Tiana told her it was slimy but fun and she loved all the hopping.

Waiting in line for the Pirates of the Caribbean.

Hailey had been begging to go on Splash Mountain ever since she rode it at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party- so we waited in a short 10 minute line to ride on it.  But Hailey didn’t like it this time and said the drops were too big and scary.

We decided to head over to Toontown before the day got too busy.  We stopped and rode on Pooh on our way since it had a 5 minute wait.

I love Toontown and will be so sad when it’s all gone.  I’m excited to see what they do there instead but I’ll miss Toontown as it is now.

Once we got to Toontown Hailey decided she wanted to ride on Goofy’s Barnstormer.  We reminded her that she did not like it last year and that it goes fast.  But she said she was brave and wanted to try riding it again.

Obviously she decided she didn’t like it.

Then we went to check out Mickey Mouse’s house.  Since it will probably be gone the next time we go I had to take lots of pictures inside the house.

Then it was time to cool off in Donald Duck’s boat

At this point Hailey was getting pretty tired and so we let her take a nice nap in her stroller.  After her nap it was time to use our Peter Pan fast passes.  Then we rode the People Mover.

We took a picture of Mickey and Minnie on our way out of the park to head to Hollywood Studios for extra magic hours.

When we got to Hollywood Studios we ate some dinner at the ABC Commissary.

After dinner we used our fast passes for Toy Story Mania (the ones we got because the ride had broken down the day before).

We love Toy Story Mania!  Hailey was having a blast!!

Then we went to see The Voyage of the Little Mermaid and then headed off to a dance party in Playhouse Disney.  Hailey loved the dance party!

We played for a long time at the dance party.  Then we went to see The Magic of Disney Animation which was really interesting.  Then it was time to head back to our hotel.

Hailey’s favorites for today: Ride- Peter Pan, Characters- Stitch at breakfast and Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen.

Since we got back so late from Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party on day 2 we slept in a little bit on our 3rd day. After a slow start we had breakfast at our resort.

It was still relatively early when we arrived at Hollywood Studios, so it wasn’t too crowded.

First up- we went to see Voyage of the Little Mermaid.

When we came out of the Little Mermaid show we were able to meet up with some characters:

Hailey and Annie

Leo, Hailey and Annie

Then we went to see Playhouse Disney- Live on Stage- which Hailey obviously loved!  My only complaint is that we were in the front row and it was really hard to see.  Last year we were in the very back and it was really hard to see back there too.  I think the seating should be set up a little bit differently, but she still loved the show.

After the show we went to see the Disney Animation Studio.  We had never been in there before and the characters were lots of fun!

When we went back outside Hailey was able to meet Quincy and June.

Then we had a delicious lunch at Catalina Eddie’s.  Rich wasn’t too sure about eating here because it was outside but I thought the food was fantastic!

After lunch we went to see Beauty and the Beast.  Hailey really enjoyed it!

We had gotten Fast Passes to go on Toy Story Mania when we arrived first thing in the morning, but they couldn’t be used until 6:05pm.  So Rich wanted to check and see how long the wait would be so we wouldn’t have to stay at Hollywood Studios until 6pm.  We like going to Hollywood Studios but it is our least favorite park and we are usually done by mid-afternoon so we were almost ready to leave but still had about 4 hours until we could use our fast passes.  So we headed back to that area of the park.  The wait was still really long though so we decided to hang out until we could use our fast passes.

Hailey met up with a Green Army Man.

And she got to see Handy Manny.

After that we rode on the Great Movie Ride.  Then we walked around with Hailey in her stroller until she fell asleep.  She took a nice long nap while Rich and I sat in the Animation Studios and did some people watching.  After her nap we went to Muppet Vision- 3D.  It was so much fun!  Hailey never really got into the 3D things last year because she wouldn’t leave her glasses on.  This time she loved it!  She was reaching out trying to grab everything and even asked me, “When can I really touch them?”

Finally it was almost time use our fast passes, so we decided to hang out until 6:05.

At 6pm everyone in line started leaving the ride- the ride had broken!  They told people to come back in about an hour.  There was no way we wanted to wait around for another hour.  We went to guest relations and gave them our names and they told us to come back the next day and they would give us a new fast pass to use.

We headed off to Magic Kingdom for Extra Magic Hours.

Hailey loved riding on Dumbo!

We ate some dinner at Pinocchio Village Haus and enjoyed the fireworks.

Of course she had to make an attempt at getting the sword out of the stone.

We also went on Snow White’s Scary adventure and saw Mickey’s PhilharMagic 3D show.  Hailey was reaching for everything and enjoyed the show so much!

The crowds were nice and low and we were able to get a lot done during extra magic hours!  We were tired though and knew we had an early start coming on day 4, so we went back to our resort.

Goodnight Magic Kingdom

Hailey’s favorites of the day: Ride- Carousel.  Character- all the Little Einsteins.

After our busy morning at Animal Kingdom and a nice afternoon nap back at the hotel we got ready to go to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Hailey decided to dress up as Snow White for the Halloween party.

We got there just in time to see the Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It! Street Party.

Then we went to Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe for a yummy dinner.  Hailey enjoyed playing horseshoes while we waited for our food.

After a yummy dinner Hailey was begging to go on Splash Mountain.

Last year when we were in Disney World Hailey was about 39 inches tall- one inch too short for Splash Mountain.  So for the last year she has talked about how she would be tall enough to go on Splash Mountain on our next trip.

Sure enough- she was tall enough!

She ran off to get on the ride.  There was no line at all- we walked right on- one of the advantages of going to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Hailey didn’t want to exit- she was ready to ride!

On the boat and off we went.  She loved the ride.  She was a little worried about the drops but she said she loved it!

After we rode Splash Mountain we collected lots of candy and then went to Woody’s Happy Harvest Roundup dance party.

Hailey danced with Woody,

Bullseye,

and Jessie.

Then we went to see the Villains Mix and Mingle.  It was a really fun show with all of the villains.  For some reason Hailey always loves the bad guys so she loved this show.  After the show the villains came down off the stage to meet people.  Everyone was trying to push to meet the villains and it didn’t seem worth the wait to us.

Hailey got to get her picture with The Queen of Hearts.  Then we went to see the Haunted Mansion, which also had no line.

Hailey was so excited to get to meet the 7 dwarfs!  Doc took her by the hand and walked her over to the rest of the group.

Snow White with the 7 Dwarfs.  (Grumpy was mad that she didn’t stand next to him!)

All of us with the dwarfs- this time Hailey gave Grumpy a hug.

Hailey was so excited to get to meet the Stepmother and the Stepsisters.  They were a pretty funny group to meet.  Hailey told Anastasia that she is her favorite stepsister which resulted in some funny arguing between the 2 sisters.

Happy HalloWishes was an amazing fireworks show!  We loved it!!

I had a yummy Pineapple Dole Whip- amazing!!

Hailey told Jasmine all about riding on Splash Mountain.  Jasmine talked to Hailey for several minutes and told her a funny story about Abu riding on Splash Mountain and how he didn’t like it.

We got a great spot for Mickey’s Boo to You Halloween Parade.  The Headless horseman came through about 10 minutes before the parade actually started.  Unfortunately my picture didn’t turn out very good.

The official start of the parade.

Goofy and his candy machine.

After the parade we went on some more rides- including Peter Pan, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Stitch.  All of the rides had no wait times, which was wonderful!  Hailey didn’t like the Stitch ride- we were afraid she might be scared of it.  But actually she thought it was boring.  As we were getting off she said, “When are we going to do the fun part of Stitch?”

We collected lots more candy and as the party was winding down around midnight we headed back to our hotel.

A few Halloween decorations on our way out of the park.

We didn’t get back to the hotel until after 1am.  Hailey had fallen sound asleep on the bus and I was able to get her all ready for bed without her waking up.  She was exhausted!!  Before she fell asleep on the bus though I asked her what her favorite parts of the day were.  Her favorite character was Stitch (at Animal Kingdom earlier in the day) and her favorite ride was Splash Mountain.
