Britton, Memaw, and PawPaw left last Wednesday for Disney World! The hub and I followed on Thursday morning, but almost didn't make it. Let me explain - our flight was set for 7:30 am. We set our alarms for 4:00 am but it seems that I turned mine off in my sleep. The hub woke up at 6:05 am yelling that we were going to miss our flight! We got out of the driveway at 6:12 am (a personal best!) and made it to the airport one minute before the cut-off for checking our bags. We were the last people on the plane, but we settled into the flight, relieved the hubs remembered his Dallas-traffic driving skills!
Here we are waiting on the bus to take us to Magic Kingdom...
The carousel! One of Britton's favorite rides. This was the first trip where Britton had real preferences about rides, and everything we rode we had to get back into line to ride again (sometimes up to 4 times in a row if the lines were decent!)
The tea cups - Memaw and PawPaw took this one on, because I get vertigo easily and the hubs gets sick on the tea cups. We sat this one out!
The Winnie the Pooh ride. Britton did NOT like this ride because part of it was in the dark. She got through it, and we promised her we wouldn't go on it ever again unless she wanted to. She didn't!
We kept park visits to under four hours, because the heat, humidity, crowds, and miles of walking just wore all of us out. Every day on the bus ride back to the hotel, Britton fell asleep anyways!
Friday morning, bright and early, we hit the Dumbo ride four times in a row! This is Britton's favorite ride, hands down.
We even managed to catch a parade (and a pineapple popsicle).
On Friday night we went to dinner at the Kona Cafe in the Polynesian Hotel. The monorail runs right by the Polynesian, so while waiting for our reservation, we took Britton on a monorail ride around the park. She wore her new Snow White dress, and just soaked up the compliments!
The Snow White dress came out for our trip to EPCOT Saturday morning too! An adorable shot of Memaw and Britton on the bus. Memaw understands Britton's need to be a princess, and Britton loved having her Memaw and PawPaw with her. Disney World is truly a family trip.
After Britton, Memaw, and PawPaw went to the aquarium while the hubs and I went on Soarin' (our favorite ride), we all went over to Magic Kingdom. We spotted Sleeping Beauty doing pictures, but the line was cut off before we could get over there. I asked the handler where we could find the other princesses, and she pointed us over to the Theater. Jackpot!
On the way out of the meet-and-greet with Cinderella, Belle, and Rapunzel, with a quick stop in the gift shop for a Belle dress, we met Memaw and PawPaw. PawPaw spotted the elusive Snow White, and we bolted over to the line so Britton could meet her! We were told Snow White was leaving in 5 minutes, but I spotted Memaw buttering up Snow White's handler and we made the cut!
It's so funny, because we talk about how the princesses never break character. They always use the correct mannerisms and accents. But Memaw and PawPaw reported that Snow White handed Britton her Winnie (the one she chews on) and broke character for a minute when she felt that cold slimey Winnie and winced!
Bye Bye Disney! See you next year!
Looks like tons of fun and Britton is absolutely adorable in her princess dress!!
