Disney World: January 24, 2009 (Day Five)

(Click here for more pictures) This morning was Cinderella day and we almost beat Cinderella to the castle this morning. Main Street at Magic Kingdom was almost empty as we walked toward the castle with Anderson shouting "eat, eat" and Princess Reagan was in awe. She had on her Cinderella dress and was so proud. We took our picture with Cinderella at first (Rob will post it after we scan it). Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Jasmine and Snow White visited with us at our table. Anderson was a little shy around all of the Princesses but he sure did enjoy his sword. After breakfast and after a few diaper changes (thanks Graham), we headed to Dumbo. The line at Dumbo was a few minutes but the kids ate it up. Next we rode the carousel two times while Jason and Robby headed off to get fast passes. Rob wasn't back yet so we hopped on Small World again and Reagan and Anderson ate it up this time. They just sat side by side staring wide eyed. Next was the Peter Pan ride and then Aladin's magic carpet ride. Jasmine and Aladin rode on the ride right before our turn. We waved to Nonna, Pops, Graham and Jason as we passed. The next adventure was the Jungle Cruise. Anderson enjoyed it but Reagan was a little scared in the tunnel. We were then in need of a snack and had some orange juice slushies. Tara and Robby used their fastpasses next for Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain (Tom and Tommye chickened out!-they had done it before though). We were going to ride Pirates of the Caribean but the line was a little too long and we had already done quite a bit. On the way out, Nonna had a delicious ice cream Mickey Mouse. The park was much more crowded today but by 1:30 we were headed back to the room. We donned our bathing suits and headed to grab a bite to eat before swimming. Pops ordered the largest sandwich I had ever seen while the rest of us had hamburgers and nuggets. The kiddie pool must not have been heated-it is 70ish but still a little chilly. As much as Reagan wanted to play in that pool she just couldn't-too cold. So we waded in the other pool (Mom thought it was too cold though but pressed on) with Reagan and Anderson in tow as Graham, Nonna and Jason slept on the pool chairs. Anderson and Reagan saw the big waterslide and thought they could do it. Indeed they could-with Dad to catch them, Mom to grab the first one so Dad could catch the second and Pops to haul them to the top of the slide...over and over and over. After swimming and a bath, the kids fell asleep immediately. We are trying to wake them up now to head to supper.

Our evening post and more pictures will probably not be up tonight (maybe in a few days or sooner)-our internet runs out in a few minutes!
