Magic Kingdom Day 2 and Hollywood Studios

We are finishing up our trip to Disney, so I will try to get as many days of pictures as I can before I am too tired. We went back to the Magic Kingdom Thursday to finish the rides and attractions that we did not get to see earlier in the week.

Look closely at this picture to see Alex behind Mike and Anna Grace on Goofy's Barnstormer roller coaster.

We have been able to meet lots of characters including Peter Pan. However, Anna Grace has asked almost every day when the princesses would come out of the castle to meet her After lunch, we headed back for nap time. Anna Grace had a surprise visit from Cinderella who left a special invitation under her pillow to eat supper at the castle. She was so excited that we had packed her Cinderella dress that we gave her as a birthday gift a few weeks ago. After we got her all dressed with her crown, princess shoes, and sparkles in her hair, we headed back across the lake so that we could meet the princesses.

The boys headed out to ride more roller coasters while Anna Grace and I went to the castle for our reservation.

In this picture, Anna Grace is showing the "real Cinderella" her little Cinderella toy that she carried with her to all of the parks each day this week.

After we met Cinderella, we climbed the spiral staircase to the royal ballroom for supper. Anna Grace is usually a super eater, but she was not interested in all of the delicious food as princess after princess came by our table to sign autographs and chat.

I loved watching her face light up with each princess and the way that she used her best manners to greet each one.

Finally, we finished off the evening by meeting back up with the boys for the evening parade. We staked out our spot on Main Street early and ordered huge homemade ice cream sandwiches from the Main Street Bakery.

The boys enjoyed the parade, but Anna Grace was thrilled with all of the music, floats, and characters. The highlight of the evening was when Prince Charming picked her our of the crowd from Cinderella's carriage to blow her kisses.

We spent Friday at Hollywood Studios.

Cole and Alex were especially excited about this park because it was a Star Wars weekend.

Star Wars characters roamed the park and special Star Wars events were planned (although many of the events were cancelled because of the rain).

The also loved riding the 3-D Toy Story ride where they got to play arcade games while riding in a little cart.

Once again, we had a lot of rain and Anna Grace napped in the stroller while the boys enjoyed the rides.

One of the highlights of the day was the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" playground. All 3 kids had a blast climbing around on the gigantic playground made up of huge bugs, blades of grass, spider webs.

I still have pictures to post from today's trip to the Animal Kingdom, but I need to get some sleep. We are all exhausted from our week and we have a lot of driving a head of us tomorrow.
