WDW Trip - Day 5

This was our last full day of fun at WDW. It is sad to think how fast the week flew by.

We started with Breakfast in our room - early and tried to hit MK during the early hour before the general public was allowed in. This was our opportunity to catch some of the rides.

Celie experienced some of her first rides - Dumbo, Pooh's Adventures, The Mad Hatter's Tea Cups and Goofy's Barnstormer Rollercoaster. She absolutely LOVES rollercoasters. YEAH!! Since we live so close to Cedar Point now, it will be a lot of fun. :) We also went on It's a Small World and the Cinderella's Carousel.

I took a lot of pictures of Celie on the rides. So, here you go. Well, Here are Bob and Anna waiting for the Teacups to begin.

We are spinning.


We are spinning some more.

And more spinning.


She is really trying to spin it with mama.


She is cracking herself up from the spinning.


Here is Celie on Dumbo - we're going up and up and up.

After a few of the rides, we thought that we would give Anna a chance to run around. We found this little playground - Pooh's Corner for her to do just that. Here is Pooh's house. The girls loved his house.

After all of the rides, we took a boat to the Wilderness Lodge. This is where Bob and I stayed while on our honeymoon at WDW. We at the Whispering Canyon Cafe. Aunt Sue and Uncle Tom joined us. Here are picture of them with Celie in front of a totem at the lodge.

After lunch, we headed back to the hotel to rest up for the evening meal at Cinderella's Castle at the Magic Kingdom.

I had booked the Character meal at the Castle 180 days before our vacation. I knew that it sold out quickly so I wanted to make sure that we got it and we did. It was raining by the time we were seated for dinner. As part of our dinner, you meet Cinderella in the lobby and get her autograph and picture. You get 2 pictures included with your meal. The Fairy Godmother and two of the mice are upstairs and put on a show during dinner. Celie was very shy in meeting Cinderella. Celie did comment on bootiful C'rella was. It was very cute. Cinderella was very good at coaxing Celie toward her for the pictures. The professional pictures turned out pretty well considering Celie's shyness, but here is a pic I took. C'rella is trying to get Celie to look up in the castle.Dinner was great and our server, Fernando, was fabulous. He found out that both Aunt Sue & Uncle Tom and Bob and I spent our honeymoon at WDW, so he brought us out a special gift. They were champagne flutes that said Cinderella's Royal Table. It was very sweet and thoughtful.

After dinner we headed back to the hotel. We watched the fireworks from our balcony and spent the evening enjoying time with the girls and Aunt Sue & Uncle Tom.

We clocked 6.2 miles today. Tomorrow sadness will come - we have to go home.
