MNSSHP: After party and foot soak!

Daddy's feet hurt him so bad after the Halloween party that he filled the hotel bathtub with hot water and soaked his feet...he also teased me by pulling up his shorts as high as they could go - makes me giggle every time!

Since we were so busy at the Halloween party we forgot to eat dinner...so, we had a LATE night dinner of delivery pizza in bed. IT WAS SO COOL and a highlight of the trip for me!

Love,
Kate

MNSSHP: Mickey & Minnie!

I love Mickey and Minnie so much and was really excited to meet them in their Halloween costumes...they were SO CUTE!

When mom joined in the pictures I did not want to let go of Mickey or Minnie's hands...look at the picture - mom had to scoot her way in without breaking the hand holding!

Love,
Kate

MNSSHP: Drum role please....

And the moment I was waiting for....meeting the Princesses AND the Princes! It was magical and I was SO EXCITED I could hardly stand it.

When asked what my favorite part of Disney World was I say "meeting Flynn Rider"! We talked and talked. Daddy told me to go up to him and say "Hi Eugene", but I did not want to. He did ask me if I knew his name (after he already told me it). He realized that and said "wait, I already told you." I said "I know your name is Flynn"! It was SO AMAZING!

Love,
Kate

MNSSHP: Villains!

I was oh so excited to see the Disney Villains! We got to the performance early to grab a good spot for a good view of the show. Lots of villains were there: Maleficent, the Wicked Queen from Snow White, the bad guys from Princess and the Frog, the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, Cruella De Vil and some others! It was cool and just a little bit scary.

Right after the performance it got crazy as everyone tried to rush into unorganized lines to meet a villain. We stayed right where we were and decided we would just see any villain that came to the front of our line. To my amazement and luck it was...the Wicked Queen from Snow White! She never spoke a word to me and looked scary the entire time. When it was time for the picture she whipped up her cape and it scared me!

MNSSHP: Characters

I just loved the Halloween party so much! It was so cool to meet so many characters...and so many characters I have never met! I met Alice and the Mad Hatter (first time for the Mad Hatter), Merida, Jasmine and the Genie (first time for Genie) and Phineas and Ferb (never met them before). It was so much fun!

Love,
Kate

MNSSHP: Trick or Treating

Another cool things about the Halloween party was all the trick or treating! There were candy trick or treat stations set up all over the park where Disney cast members handed out big handfuls of candy to us! We even got to go on a little trick or treat trail with lots of candy stops along the way! It was really fun and the kickoff to the party for us!

We even got bananas as Chiquita was a sponsor. It grossed mom out, but did provide me with snacks for the next couple of days!

Love,
Kate

MNSSHP: Rides, rides and more rides!

We got to ride so many rides during the Halloween party it was incredible- NO LINES! Some we ride were: The Magic Carpet, The Haunted Mansion (and I was really not too scared), Small World, Pirate of the Caribbean, Dumbo, the new Barnstormer kid roller coaster, Buzz Lightyear, the Tea Cups, the carousel, Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain and more...!

Splash and Thunder Mountain were my favorites!!! I rode them over and over!!

Love,

MNSSHP: Princesses!

The Halloween party did not officially start until 7pm. Until then we rode tons of rides and even got to meet my princesses! There was practically NO line to meet them - rare and AMAZING!

Love,
Kate

MNSSHP: Princess Aerial

I wore my Aerial costume to the Halloween party and loved it! It was not itchy or scratchy to me at all! I was not a fan of having to wear tennis shoes as I knew Aerial (or any princess for the matter) would not be wearing tennis shoes with their gown!

Mommy and Daddy both had Halloween hats. Mommy wore hers and it flew off and she lost it on the Buzz Lightyear ride...oops! Daddy never really wore his...his was COOL too!

Love,
Kate

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!

One of the splurges of the trip was to go to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party! It is considered a "hard ticket" which means you have to pay for this event in addition to any other park fees. Mommy went back and forth on whether to go as she did not know if it was worth the money...it turned out that is was worth every penny! We had a BLAST!

We were able to get the Magic Kingdom at 4pm to enter the parks. The park closed to those without event tickets at 7. Because of the schedule the crowds were really small and we got to do so many things. We never had to wait in line for rides - so we really saw what we would see and do typically in 3 days at the park in 6 hours!

We got to meet lots of fun characters you don't normally get to meet as well as some of my favorites! There was a performance with the villains which was really neat.

Unfortunately we were having so much fun we missed the first parade and then needed to leave before the last one as it was getting really late (about 10:30 pm)!

It was such a great night!

Arcade!

Our hotel had just about all you could ever ask for...lots of good (but expensive) restaurants, cool pools, a beach, a lake, boats, paddle boats, a daycare, a gym, shops, a candy store and even an arcade! One rainy afternoon after the parks we stopped by to play for a bit. Daddy tried to win me a toy...but we had no luck! It was still fun though!

Love,
Kate

Pool time!

We spent a lot of time at the amazing pools at the hotel! It was a nice and cool break after the hotels, in the evenings or even before the parks! They had a water slide that I was big enough to go down and I just loved it. Mommy or daddy would walk up with me, but I got to go down all by myself. I am getting SO big!

Here I am one day when Daddy got me ready for the pool. Notice anything funny? He put my suit on backwards! I thought it was hilarious!

Love,
Kate

Souvenirs

It was a HARD decision, but early on I picked out the most PERFECT souvenir to bring home to remind me of our awesome trip. Not 1, 2 or 9 princesses....but, 10! They are the cutest dolls every and are small enough to take with me, but big enough to not lose and just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. It includes all the princesses but Merida!

Love,
Kate

Hotel room fun!

I just LOVE hotel rooms. There is so much fun stuff to do in a hotel room! For starters, I always jump on the beds...it is allowed there. I also love to color, play with my babies, play hide and seek, watch TV....you can do so much right on the bed - even use pens and markers!

We even ordered pizza late one night and got to eat it in our hotel room right on our beds...totally cool!

Love,
Kate

Epcot Fireworks!

After mom and I went to dinner we stopped at the most AMAZING french bakery in France! We asked the worker what she recommended and she said the Napoleon and boy was she smart! It was so amazing and creamy! We also got the lemon tart and it was really yummy too! Wish I had that right now!

We took our desserts and found the most perfect spot to watch the fireworks...we had a great view and could even sit and relax! The fireworks were pretty cool, but too loud for me. Every time they would boom and bang I would cuddle closer to mommy and tell her they made my belly hurt! They were beautiful though!
