Disney Day 4: Magic Kingdom

We had a lot of fun at Magic Kingdom on Wednesday, but we really could have used 1 or 2 more days there. We stayed pretty much in Fantasyland the whole time we were there. We weren't able to get a fast pass for some of the princesses, so we had a plan to go to them right when it opened. There were several photographers by Cinderella's castle, so we stopped and got some pictures before we walked to the princess hall. It was a hot & humid day!


I love this one that shows a little spunk! 

Some time was lost waiting in a line for Anna & Elsa (who we found out were running late), but we were able to switch to the Cinderella and Rapunzel line before too many other people got the same idea. We only had to wait about 15 minutes. 
Cinderella was so sweet. She asked if they had traveled by pumpkin. :)

Lucy was really excited to see Rapunzel too. She loves watching Tangled. 

There was only a few minute wait for the It's a Small World ride, so we got in line and enjoyed getting out of the heat. 
Riding in the boat. 
We stopped for a picture by Rapunzel's tower. 
The wait was short for the Haunted Mansion ride, so we stopped there too. 

The kids stopped by to say hi to King Triton before meeting Ariel. 
We had a fast pass for Ariel. I loved using those...we practically walked right in. Ariel is Lucy's favorite princess, so that made her day! 

Seven Dwarfs Mine Ride-This was a favorite! Lucy kept her hands up in the air the whole time! 
We were supposed to go to Story Time with Belle next, but they were having trouble with some part of it and had it shut down. We had a fast pass that we had already scanned, so they told us to try back later. Curt saw on the phone Disney app that Aurora was going to be nearby for 30 minutes. We quickly got in line and were the last ones to see her before they moved her somewhere else. 
She was really friendly and chatted with both of the kids. 


Story Time with Belle was still not working when we checked back later. They had a list of fast passes that we could use instead, if we didn't want to keep waiting. They had Elsa and Anna on the list. I couldn't believe it! We headed over to the Princess Hall and only had to wait a few minutes. Yay! We saw that we could meet Belle in Epcot the next day, so that helped Lucy not be too sad about missing Belle. 
The cold never bothered me anyway....
Anna was really chatty and told them some stories. 

Hugs for Anna
Lots of people! 
We decided to head back to the resort and on the way out we saw Mary Poppins. It was a pretty hot out. I kept wiping sweat off Ben's face while we were waiting line. I felt bad for Mary all dressed up when it was about 100 degrees. When it was Ben and Lucy's turn, she chatted quite a bit with them. She was one of my favorites of the day! 

I really wanted to go to the evening parade, but we were just too worn out. The kids wanted to get back to the resort and eat dinner and swim. After we were at the resort, we just wanted to stay and relax. So, that's what we did. :)

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
