Day 4: Mom's morning!

Sydney got her best Princess dress on (pink of course!) and got ready for mom's big day. Our strategy was since we did what the kids wanted, they they in turn would try out the rides that mom wanted to.

We got in early and snapped our photo outside of the castle. From there, it was off to Tomorrowland. The kids loved the rocket ride, as did mom. Logan and I snuck in a quick Buzz Lightyear Adventure, while mom and Sydney picked up some Toy Story cars for Logan. Then it was off to Frontierland. The kids liked the safari, i thought it would scare them more. The Tarzan Jungle gym was ok.

Then it was off to mom's favourite! PIRATES! Sydney thought it was ok, Logan LOVED it. He has fully adopted the pirate smirk. :)

We took a lunch and photo break by Winnie the Pooh and then went to the Haunted Mansion. I rode with Logan. I covered his ears and eyes for big parts of the ride. At first I thought he was freaked out because it was too dark and loud. But in actuality - he just fell asleep during the ride. ha. what a champ.

Sydney was rewarded for being an attraction superstar with her own ice cream. :)











Day 3: Dinner with Goofy

Tip: when you amortize the number of meals that you can get out of the Goofy's Kitchen buffet (i.e. protein for next day congee, etc - fruit for snacks) this is totally worth it.

Plus, when you get the booth the kids can jump up and down for an hour as they check out their favourite Disney characters. This is the only place we saw Snow White. We laughed at how Pluto signed photos. Logey was not a fan of Chip/ Dale. :) But he still loves Minnie and does try to sneak in a kiss when he can. Sydney was a dancing rock star, partying it up with Aladdin.








Day 3: Tomorrowland

Off to Autotopia. The kids had a blast driving around. Logan wasn't quite tall enough to see where he was going. Sydney was a great driver, and was thankful to ride with mommy today as the night before daddy stalled my car and had to get out to jimmy it back on teh tracks... sigh.

And we ran into Alice and the Mad Hatter.

Day 3: Happy Birthday Sam

Celebrating at Rainforest Cafe. Nice mug shot Uncle Ian. :)



Day 3: The hidden gem... the cockpit of the Monorail

Much better than the train ride around the park.



Day 3: Morning in Fantasyland

More teacups! :) The kids also got some gifts (Sydney hand picked her Minnie House hat over getting mouse ears).

The Toad ride was not a great one for the kids. They liked Peter Pan and Alice as well, but their favourite was still tea cups.





Day 2: Night Riders

Sydney and Logan had a blast riding in the front cockpit of the monorail.

Uncle Ian and I went on the Indiana Jones ride (i hate riding front right) switching turns with Auntie Katherine and Mommy.

The fireworks were a little too loud for the kids, but we were able to sneak in more "Its a Small World" and "Autotopia" time. :)

Logan's favourite rides were the Toy Story ones. He's FAVOURITE saying was "I SHOOT THE BAD GUYS!" hahahaha.


Day 3: Princess Fantasy Fair

The highlight of Sydney's trip. On Day 3, we lined up first thing in the morning in Main St. Daddy sprinted to the Princess Fantasty Fair as soon as the rope was lifted, with mommy just behind pushing the stroller. On average, it was a 90 minute wait line to do a meet and greet with three princesses. We were lucky enough to meet with Belle, Ariel and Tiana.

Afterwards, Sydney got her princess face paint done as well. A great start to the day.
