Disney World Day 2

Evie slept pretty well the first night. She was an exhausted little girl from all the traveling and no nap. From what I remember she got up at 7, not bad for her. We walked outside on the balcony and saw Giraffes sleeping! Could not get a good picture without a flash and I didn't want to startle them. Surprisingly they sleep in a ball like a dog. They look like a rock when they do so that must be the reason for it.

Her and Papou went for breakfast at the cafe in the hotel. Got Bagels, cinnamon rolls, etc for everyone. Yum!

For the first day we HAD to go to Magic Kingdom. It was more crowded than I expected. But the entry line moved quickly.

First we got fast passes to see Tangled (Rapunzel) and Mickey. While waiting we wandered. Saw that the line for Brave (Mirida) was not long so got in line. While there Evie's Papou decided to spoil her and get some ice cream since she was asking for it. What grandparents get to do. She loved it of course.
The line was taking much longer than we thought it should, but Mirida needed a drink of water. Then we got in. Wow when it was Evie's turn, she RAN to Brave. It was amazing. Hugs and just amazement. Of course I wanted a family picture too :)



Then it was time to meet Tangled. The line was a good hour long and we got to walk right in with the fast pass. Really is the way to go. Evie's jaw dropped when she walked into the room and saw Tangled. Dropped. She could not believe she was real. Star Struck. Cutest thing EVER. We had to wait in a small line and Evie just stood there taking it all in.

Then it was her turn. Rapunzel saw Evie in her dress and came running over to her and took her hand. Walked her over to the picture area and got down to her level. Evie showed her the Tangled pin on her dress and they talked. Then posed for pictures. Just seeing my little girl in such amazement was one of the best moments I have witnessed.


Next was Aurora (Sleeping Beauty). I was not a big fan of Sleeping Beauty growing up, neither was Nick (surprise, a guy). Evie had no clue who she was. But she still gave a hug. Here she is dancing with her. 

And next was Cinderella.  Another one Evie didn't know who she was. But She was great with Evie. 

Then time to go see Mickey! Same with the previous fast pass. Got right into the room immediatly. And Evie ran straight to Mickey. Was great how we were first in line and she ran under the velvet rope to get to him! Hugs Hugs Hugs! Of course no talking. But he did give her a kiss on the cheek and she gave him a kiss on the nose. All day she pointed there and said Mickey Kiss. 



Evie went potty and had to change out of her dress since it was so hot. Speaking of that. Evie did wonderful using the potty at disney and not having accidents. She only had one accident the whole time we were there!

We wondered around for a bit looking at things. Ate at Columbia Harbor House. Everyone but me got Fried Shrimp (which the portion was huge) but I got a salad. The heat really makes me want to eat light and lots of veggies. I am a summer girl. Then we decided that Its a Small World is a must and got in line. She just kept looking around. I do enjoy that ride. But we all almost fell asleep except Evie at the end. Knew it was nap time. So we headed back to the hotel/time share.




While walking around, we saw them building Tangled's Tower. Will be so cool once opened up!


Evie napped. I fell asleep on the couch. Nick napped in bed. YiaYia and Papou napped. Yep we all needed it. Once everyone was up, had some snacks and headed out to Epcot for dinner. Stopped at Figment Imagination Ride. Evie loved the first time through and asked for more. We decided to do it again and she FREAKED out. Do not know why, but I think she was tired. I think she was saying more rides, not more of the same ride. After we ate at the Land Sunshine Seasons for dinner. That is really a good quick service restaurant. Fresh healthy food. After we ate went back to the hotel for the night. Put on a movie and all chilled.

Well after Evie was in bed, Nick and I wondered the hotel. Got drinks and sat outside near the fire pit and just chatted. Of course mine was virgin but yummy. I had a virgin Lava Flow (Pina Colada with strawberries) and Nick had an Old Fashioned.

Was a great second day at Disney/First day in the parks!
