We were up early and on the first bus to The Magic Kingdom for our breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table. We passed through the gates at 8am and headed up Main Street towards the castle.
Our reservation was for 8.15am so we were taken in immediately to meet Cinderella. She was so lovely and very impressed that the whole family (except for me) had dressed in blue (unintentionally!) to match her dress!
Once seated we were served a huge platter of pastries to nibble on while we waited for our breakfast. The boys were given swords while Emily got a wand and they all got a "wishing star".
The princesses came out and started to greet the guests and then they said it was time to make a wish with their wishing stars. They boys were so into it, I've never seen kids wish so hard before! It was really a magical moment.
Dad and big sister made fun of them
but they couldn't spoil the moment and hopefully their wishes will come true!
All of the princesses came to the table and signed our autograph books. They were all very friendly and attentive and gushed over our "handsome princes".
Snow White
Sleeping Beauty
Ariel
Belle
We left the castle just before rope drop and lined up at Tomorrowland. We rode Space Mountain and Tomorrowland Speedway. Bumped into Chip and Dale
rode the Tomorrowland Transit Authority
and Buzz Lightyear again.
We walked back over to the Castle and checked out Cinderella's well
then bumped into Snow White again
and met the Fairy Godmother.
We walked through Fantasyland and stopped to watch Mickey's PhilharMagic. We ran into the talking trashcan
and then arrived at Mickey's Toontown Fair.
We had a look around and a play on Donald's Boat and then walked over to Frontierland and rode Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. There were some arguments over which one to get fastpasses for to ride again, so we ended up with 3 Splash Mountain and 2 Big Thunder fastpasses for later. Then it was back over to Main Street for the Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade.
after which we went back to Frontierland to use our fastpasses. Sammy and I were done on Big Thunder first, so we were able to see the others on the big drop.
After that we decided to go back to the hotel for a break so we walked towards the entrance
where we met Pinocchio.
We caught the bus back to The Dolphin where Alex took Emily and Sam to the pool and I stayed in the room with Harry as he just wanted to relax and watch some tv. After a rest we got ready for a swim but as we were walking towards the pool, everyone was running inside as a big storm had come up and the pools were being closed. So we checked out the resort a little and then got ready for dinner. Some friends of ours who live in Southern Florida were passing through Orlando and meeting us at the resort for dinner. They didn't know what time they would arrive so we didn't make reservations anywhere. By the time they got there everyone was hungry so we just went to Picabu which was a mistake. The service was terrible! We waited nearly an hour for our sub-standard meals. It was lovely catching up with them though and we all slept well that night after another magical Disney day.
