We met some characters

We got to meet Tiana (never seen the movie, but for some reason, OBSESSED with meeting her!). By the time we got to the front of the line (I say we, Chris waited in line while I took the kids to the castle for a show) Anna-Kate had fallen asleep in the stroller and was not happy to be woken up and turned shy. Chris was not happy. We rallied, and here is the best picture we could get. Making memories?



In the same vein, it was right before naptime and hot, hot, hot. We saw Jasmine, (who she had been talking about meeting since last year) but by the time it was our turn she had to be coerced to meet her!



We lucked out big time meeting Snow White. She is extremely hard to nail down, but when we found her, there was no line (ie, we got good pictures) and she spent a long time talking with Anna-Kate.

The illusive Ms. White:


Ryan was BEYOND excited to meet Peter Pan! Here he is telling Peter and Wendy that he is 2. :)



While walking through Tomorrowland, "that Stitch guy" (--a la, "Lilo and Stitch"--as we call him in our house, again, the kids have never seen the movie) walked up behind me and started acting silly. Nice to get a character picture with no wait or effort. Chris thinks he was excited to see a kid (Ryan) actually interested in waving to him and saying hi.



We were blessed by early reservations and able to eat magnificent food at multiple character meals. All were all you can eat and had multiple dessert and bread options, macaroni and cheese, good veggies, amazing salad fixings, fresh fruit, soups, Italian food, fish, steak, pork, ham...everything was amazing.

At the Crystal Palace (inside Magic Kingdom) we had dinner with Pooh and friends:

Ryan and Piglet:



Anna-Kate and Eeyore:

And then with Mickey:



At 1900 Park Faire at the Grand Floridian, meeting Cinderella and friends:

Her "fabrit" princess (besides Ariel), Cinderella.



The stepsisters were awesome, so funny. Ryan cried when each of them came up to our table. Neither kid wanted a picture with them, Anna-Kate wanted a picture of them. Ha!



Anastasia came up to Ryan and said, "will you marry me prince?". He turned, looked at her and burst into hysterical sobs. Hilarious.



At Ohana, where Jack was awake to meet Mickey for the first time: :)
