A princess for the morning/Hollywood Studios~ Day 4



As Todd and I planned our trip we knew that Jackson would love everything~characters, rides, parades...everything. Being smaller and younger we knew that Aubrin wouldn't be able to do everything, so we wanted to do something special for her. What better than eating breakfast in the castle with Cinderella. We made a reservation for four, but after Jackson met the princesses at the Magic Kingdom, he thought breakfast would be too girly and said he would rather eat with Goofy and Pluto again!

After being out so late last night, Aubrin and I woke up bright and early this morning to be at the castle by 8:45. Of course Aubrin had to wear her Cinderella dress, shoes and wand on her special day. Aubrin and I got to the Magic Kingdom and went into the park before it opened so we would make our reservation on time. As we walked down Main Street to the Castle, there were many photographers taking pictures. As Aubrin and I walked down the street they said, " Good morning Cinderella" or " Good morning princess". Aubrin stopped and said, " Mom, are they talking to me? " When I told her yes she lit up. Once we got to the Royal Castle we went in and had a few minutes to sit and talk to with Cinderella and take a pictures. After we headed upstairs to have our breakfast. It was enough food for a huge family. They treated Aubrin like a princess and gave her so much attention. There were also many other little princesses in the dinning room as well. During breakfast, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Ariel came and sat with us and took pictures. I loved that Aubrin had one on one time with each princess. Then each little princess got a wishing star and a wand. The dinning room filled with music and all of the little princesses and Disney princess danced and made wishes together. I know that Aubrin is so young, so this memory may not stay with her forever, but it will with me. Seeing her excitement, giggles and smiles was wonderful.

After breakfast we left the castle and headed over to Hollywood Studios to meet Todd, Jackson and the Williamson's. When we arrived Aubin was filled with stories to tell Jackson and Todd.

Hollywood Studios was great. Jackson and Aubrin were able to meet a lot of characters that they love. Our whole family loved Toy Story Mani. Before going in, Jackson saw three of the Green Army Guys and had to get his picture with one of them. We were also able to see Buzz and Woody. Jackson was so excited he couldn't stop jumping up and down. We went to a Disney Junior show that had some of their favorite characters- Handy Manny, Little Einsteins, Mickey and friends and Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Later in the day Jackson and Todd wanted to see a stunt show. It showed how different stunts were done with cars. Todd and Jackson both loved it and learned a few secrets about how they do car stunts in movies. Aubrin and I went to see a short Beauty and the Beast musical. They did the whole show in 35 minutes~ it was the perfect length for my little lady.
We also had a chance to watch another great parade. Again, I think all of the kids loved watching the parade and dancing to the music. We LOVED Hollywood Studios.

After leaving the park we headed back to the hotel, had dinner and spent some time down at the pool for an evening swim. After having a few late nights, we were all in bed a bit earlier ready for another adventure in the morning.
