Disney Day 3- Magic Kingdom

Our 3rd day at Disney promised to be extra magical for my girls.  It was the day that I had gotten us reservations for breakfast at Cinderella's Castle.  The last time we did Disney, I didn't even try for the castle, I just made us reservations for the Princess meal in Epcot-which was fabulous.  I knew my girls would get a thrill of eating in the castle though, so I put it on my wish list for this trip. 
Thanks to Nana and Pops, the girls had some special dresses to wear for the occasion.


While waiting for our bus at the resort to pick us up.  The kids had fun playing on the giant letters outside.



We got to Magic Kingdom before they opened, so we snagged a group shot just outside the park. 

Can you tell the sun was directly in our eyes?  ;)

We snuck in the park a little early due to our reservations, and I got a pic of the kids in front of Walt Disney and the castle.

After breakfast we saw Cinderella's step-sisters and step Mother outside the castle.  They really were hilarious!

Anastasia was quite taken with Andrew, and kept trying to make him her Prince

And my new favorite fairy- Vidia.  She was hilarious!

She had the girls giggling like crazy!


Another ride on the Barnstormer- this time Mary Mac was hands up!

We had a great day on Tuesday in Magic Kingdom.  Andrew got like 6 runs on Space Mountain in while his sisters were waiting in line to meet all the fairies/princesses.  He rode so many times in a row that the cast member taking up the Fast Passes was quite taken with Andrew and gave him and Marc Fast Passes to use on any ride in Magic Kingdom through the end of December.  (Guess which ride he chose to use those on later in the week).  :)
The girls definately got lots of signatures in their books that day.  Mary McLean also rode her first (bigger) roller coaster- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.  She had been dissappointed earlier in the week when she found out she wasn't quite tall enough for the older roller coasters (like Space Mountain and Expedition Everest), but felt like such a big girl when she exceeded the height requirement for this one.  She giggled the whole time on the ride, and I think the people in front of us got a kick out of listening to her excitement.  As soon as we got off, she took her dad and got in line to ride one more time.  :)

After finishing with Magic Kingdom for the day, we headed over to Hollywood Studios to grab some dinner and watch the "Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights."  It was really neat to watch.  We were exhausted though by that point, so we headed back to the hotel to rest up for our next day in the parks.
