Well we had a full day packed into our first day of Magic Kingdom. There is SO much to do here and so many great rides. Plus the fact that we got Trevor and Gwen into the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in the morning and dinner with Cinderella in the late afternoon. We had never done the BBB before but I am SO glad that I got Trevor a deal. Immediately when I told him about how Gwen was going to get made up like a princess, he asked what he was going to have done. I was a little nervous about her being her "favorite" Aurora because whenever we brought it up, she said she wanted to be a different princess any time you asked. That day she said she wanted to be Belle because she had brown hair like her. She even started pouting when I explained I wasn't going to get a different dress. She did get to pick out Aurora's crown and wand, and that made it a bit better. I had asked my mom to take the dress and sew into it a tee-shirt so that it wouldn't "itch" as some of the dresses do to her, but of course when she put it on for the first time, she said the sheer sleeves itched. Thankfully I rolled them up a little bit and she was ok. The salon was a little chilly so she wore her jacket over the dress while she was getting made up.
They did Trevor's hair first, and even did a reveal for him. Oh, I HAVE to say that I LOVE photopass for this. Photopass is Disney's "professional" photographers that take pictures for you, then you can edit them with little clip art and buy a CD of all your pictures. I am SO not creative when it comes to scrapbooking, photo editing...well really, you name it, I am NOT creative. But for both kids, the fairy godmothers that did the hair nails and make-up for the kids knew not to sprinkle with pixie dust and turn them around until the photographer was there. So they got those priceless looks on their faces when they saw themselves. It was SO worth it.
Gwen's hair took a while, but they put a lot of product in it, so as of day 2, it is still together and in one piece. Tomorrow we are planning a pool day so I'm pretty sure we'll have to take it out tomorrow. But anyway, her fairy godmother was so gentle with her hair and she never said "ow". We had our photo session and Gwen got to walk around all made up for the rest of the day. She got so many compliments and everyone working at the park always does call the girls princesses anyway, but you could just see in her eyes that she felt like a princess.
We did most of our rides this day: Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, Pirates of the Caribbean, Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Philharmagic, Peter Pan, Small World, Snow White, Speedway, Cinderella's Carousel and Pooh. All we really have left for our last day is around Liberty Square: Splash Mountain, Hall of Presidents, Haunted Mansion, and Tom Sawyer's Island. Most of the rides, the kids were very nervous about which ones were going to be scary. Most of the rides were very short lines, under 30 minutes except for Pooh. That one took forever because they had to fill the fastpass people first before the rest of the group. I think we were in line for over an hour. Oh, and for the record, Dumbo was under construction and so is Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. We would ride those if we could. I believe the favorite is the Buzz Lightyear ride.
So, we will be going back for our last park day, when it is scheduled to be very very busy. Hopefully we'll survive getting the last few things done and then have our pick to do whatever we would like. It has been a great trip so far!
