Today was a beautiful day. Weather wise and to-do list wise. It is the first Saturday in forever that we didn't have any plans. Nadda.Not one thing scheduled. We just went with the flow and ended up following a Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event to our city park where there was a festival and egg hunt! Totally unplanned for us. We only stayed a little while but it reminded me of why we love our town. We walked to our coffee shop and annoyed the hipsters with unending games of I-spy and had iced hot chocolates (a made up menu item but they love us enough there we can make up drinks). We played outside all day and had both lunch and dinner on the deck /patio in the sun. The day ended in the backyard swinging and watching two sisters do a gymnastics show. Just what my frayed nerves needed. The glass of pink champagne didn't hurt either.
And long over due but still needed, a continuation of Disney because I already uploaded the pictures eons ago and remembering this day makes my heart smile.
 |
| Breakfast at Cinderella's Castle.... before the park opens. So worth it! You might have to squint to see Daddy and you two. But I wanted to get the effect that NO ONE WAS AROUND. We had that castle all to ourselves. |
 |
| We walked up an almost empty main street. Perfect castle picture except Lucy's grimace. |
 |
| Cinderella invited us to dine inside her castle! |
 |
| Walking the red carpet up the spiral staircase. |
 |
| Only place we met Jasmine! |
 |
| Aurora hug at breakfast! |
 |
| We met Snow White again! |
 |
| Ariel as a human. |
 |
| Cinderella's dining room. |
 |
| View out the back of the castle from the dining room. The crowd gathering before opening that section. |
 |
| Leaving breakfast we get a drink from Cinderella's fountain. |
 |
| Guess who happened to show up?!?! |
 |
| Cinderella's Fairy Godmother. We enjoyed talking to her and practicing our Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo! |
 |
| Skipping away from Fairy Godmother and the Castle. A perfect morning. |
 |
| We met Tianna! She was stunning and so lovely to talk to!! |
 |
| We stumbled upon a parade. Only in Disney. Here is Woody waving to us! |
 |
| Mickey too! |
 |
| We met Stitch in Tomorrow Land! I think we were the only girls in line to meet him! |
 |
| And it wouldn't be a Disney trip without a ride on It's a Small World. |
 |
| Daddy's most favorite ride everrrrrr. |
 |
| Nora, you refused to meet Gaston from Beauty and the Beast so we got a picture with his fountain in front of his tavern instead. |
 |
| One of the best experiences and interactions was with Rapunzel and Snow White. Circumstances just so happened that we were alone in a room with these two princesses for about 10 minutes. Both princesses played with you two. Snow White played hide and seek (we have a video) and twirled about and had the two of you spinning too. |
 |
| Rapunzel kiss. |
 |
| Rapunzel was being silly with you two making facing and playing tricks on Snow White. |
 |
| She told you two your hair could be as long as hers one day... maybe this is why Nora, you are refusing to cut your hair now. |
 |
| Rapunzel left a kiss mark on each of your cheeks. |
 |
| Disney has a lot of fountains. This is Pinocchio's. |
 |
| Ariel the Mermaid. Lucy, you would not get any closer to her scales. |
 |
| Classic Dumbo, of course! |
 |
| Tea Cup excitement. We were able to ride in the pink one. Score! |
 |
| Meeting Alice. I completely didn't notice the lens cap until now. Oh well! |
 |
| Meeting Tinker Bell! |
 |
| Tinker Bell's Sister Periwinkle |
 |
| These next few pictures are of the mosaics inside Cinderella's castle when you walk through. They are stunning and so detailed. Most people just walk right through and never notice. When we came through for breakfast I realized the beautiful art. One of many ways Disney is set apart from other amusement parks. |
 |
| This is one of 4 or 5 panels which tell Cinderella's story. |
 |
| With a little pre-planning on my part and a little magic on Disney's part, it was a truly wonderful day, filled with memories. |
