How hot can it be at WDW in August? Sizzling is the right word! 8/25 to 8/30 (http://www.intercot.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=114553)
Day 2 - Aug 26th – Breakfast at the Castle – My little one’s dream comes true!
Well mommy got a wake up call from Stitch and Mickey at 6:30 am! I jumped in the shower and started to get ready. We had to be at the Castle for Breakfast by 8:25. My dh got up next and took his shower and we woke the girls up at 7:15. They both had taken their bath and shower the night before so they just had to wake up and get dressed. I had purchased a really cute Cinderella tutu costume for my little one. I didn’t want to get her a long dress because I knew it would be hot. I put her Disney short set on underneath so all we had to do was take the costume off when we were done. Today would be a magical but long day. It was evening EMH at the Magic Kingdom today as well so I knew we would be there late tonight.
My little Diva, um princess was so excited. She was finally going to meet her favorite princess and see the Castle, which is all she talked about the past few months. My older daughter was looking forward to it as well since we were unable to get an ADR when we were last at WDW for her 5th birthday. She is now 10 but still has that little girl in her. During this whole trip she loved meeting the characters. I am so glad we finally got to go again before she was too old to get excited.
Ok back to the trip report. We headed off to the monorail and had to wait just a few minutes before one came. We went to the gate where there was already a large group of people waiting for the MK to open. We went to the CM and told her we had an ADR for breakfast. She asked our name and checked her list. She told us to go ahead and off we went. It was wonderful being on main street with just a few people around. My heart was racing as we headed towards Main Street. I could not wait to see my little one’s face the first time she saw the Castle. It is a moment I will never forget just like her sister’s very first visit. I started to cry when I saw her little face light up. She almost jumped out of her stroller. The Castle mommy! There is Cinderella’s castle!
We stopped to take a few pictures of in front of the castle. (http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/Mom2princesses_2007/becandsamatcastle.jpg)
We then proceeded directly to Cinderella’s Royal Table. We checked in and they immediately let us inside to meet the one and only Cinderella. My little was ready to run right to her so I had to quickly pick her up and tell her we had to wait our turn. There were a few families in front of us. She patiently waited and looked at Cinderella the whole time. She was totally in awe of meeting her favorite princess.
There was one or two little ones that started to cry when they went up to meet Cinderella but not my little one when it was our turn she just ran up to Cinderella and Cindy was wonderful she knelt down and returned the big hug that my little princess gave her. My dh got this great picture of the two of them (http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/Mom2princesses_2007/CINDERALLA1.jpg). It came out better than the picture they took of us.
Next we went up the stairs to the restaurant and the girls got their wands. I was so happy that they gave one to my older daughter she was thrilled too. She is tall for her age and looks even older than 10 I was worried that they would not give her a wand. But they did. Both of them of course were called princess the whole time. The food was absolutely wonderful. The potatoes were super and the fried Danish delicious. We really enjoyed the food. The atmosphere was great and all the princesses were wonderful. We got to see Sleeping Beauty, Bell (in her Blue dress – she was excellent), Mary Poppins (she really played her part well too! Asked me if the girls were behaving and minding their manners, told them not to slouch when the picture was being taken.) and the Fairy Godmother. Here are some pics of our breakfast.

Making a Wish (http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/Mom2princesses_2007/Makingawish.jpg)
The girls also participated in making a wish by waving their wands over their wishing star. It was a great breakfast and even more important a great experience.
After breakfast, we were off to Dumbo. My dh took little Cindy on Dumbo while Ariel and I went to Space Mountain to get FP. We got 4 Fastpasses using my little one’s ticket. Back we went to join my little one and dh. We went to wait for Ariel because the line was not that long. But it seems like just as we were moving up close Ariel had to take a break. But we were so close we had to wait. The girls played in the grotto area while mom waited on line. I look at the pictures and see my older one playing in the water sprinklers and I remembered when she was only 2 years old doing the same thing. It brings tears to my eyes she has grown up way too fast.
After meeting Ariel (http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/Mom2princesses_2007/Ariel.jpg)we were off to do Snow White (it was scary for my little one) but she handled it pretty well. Then we went to Pooh it is really cute but my little one was not too keen after the Snow White ride but she relaxed once the ride started. My older daughter and I then went to Space Mountain to use our FP. We both had a blast and decided to go back on immediately to use our other 2 fast passes. Well as we approached the end of the waiting area, right after the final turnstile where the FP and Regular line merge, Space Mountain broke down. So they gave us all FP’s that could be used on any ride in the MK at anytime! We had to exit and my cell phone rang my dh was looking for us he and my little Diva went on the TTA. We went down to meet them.
My little Diva did not want to go on Buzz so we went back and the 4 of us road the teacups together. We then went on Goofy’s Barnstormer and visited Mickey’s House and met the Mouse (http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/Mom2princesses_2007/MickeyandS.jpg). By this time it was around 1:00 and we decided to head back to the Poly and relax and go swimming in the quiet pool. It was just too hot to stay around and fight for a spot for the afternoon parade. I know bad mommy but I worried about my little Cindy being over heated and she is so fair like her daddy. So we made a decision, which proved to be right for us and headed back to the Poly.
I'll continue in a separate reply because it is too long for one post.
