Monday was our final day in the Magic Kingdom, and was such a fantastic day that there's just no way I can capture it in one blog posting! We started the morning by waking the girls up and getting them dressed in their Cinderella dresses (with no information as to where they were going), and then headed to Grammie's room for a little "primping". Grammie had put together little personalized makeup bags for each of the girls, and helped them put on a little blush and lip gloss. My, were they some fancy ladies!
We surprised the girls by arriving at the Magic Kingdom before it even opened (a treat in and of itself!), and going straight to Cinderella's castle for breakfast. Cinderella greeted them at the door, and they were just in awe. I knew the Shuttle launch would make me cry, but I didn't expect this to cause me to tear up. I was wrong. It was so magical to see Anna's face light up when she saw the REAL Cinderella!
The girls thought the "fancy" breakfast was just fantastic! We may need to work on their little princess politeness a bit though...they certainly couldn't be interrupted from their eating and drinking while waving their wands in the air with the rest of that morning's princesses!
Anna is literally IN LOVE with Sleeping Beauty. She always says that that's the princess that "she is", and was just dying to meet her. I think seeing the real Aurora literally took her breath away. She still talks about her multiple times a day, and even started crying in the car yesterday because she misses Aurora. Oh how much she loved getting to meet her!! The whole Princess breakfast was probably my favorite thing that we did at Disney...so special, and so wonderful to do it at this age while the princesses are still "real" to our little ones...
The girls didn't wait long to kick off those slippers and get serious about some rides! Anna loved that she got to drive her own car (with Mommy in tow, of course) at the Tomorrowland Speedway. These are little cars on a track that you can do some basic steering of, and control the speed. With Anna's "steering" back and forth along the track, I think we managed to take the absolute longest route between the start and finish line possible! Afterwards her comment was, "Mommy--that was really fun, but something sure made that ride bumpy!" Yes, dear, yes it did. :-) I think we're going to get our money's worth out of driver's ed for this little one...
After a busy morning with the Princesses and on the race track, the girls took a little break at the fireplace in Minnie Mouse's house. This little house couldn't have been cuter! The girls loved looking through Minnie's fridge, seeing her bedroom, and having "tea" on her porch...
Even though I'm not entirely sure that Anna knows who Alice in Wonderland is, she thought seeing her and the Rabbit was fantastic! She's a sucker for the characters...
And, the ultimate "characters" of course--Mickey and Minnie!! They had such a great setup where the kids could go into Mickey's Judge's Tent and meet with Mickey and Minnie alone (as opposed to fighting mobs of other preschoolers). It was such a neat experience for the girls! Again, I think Anna just loved it, and had her breath a bit taken away by the whole thing...
