Disney World (Part 4) :)

Holy Moly.. these Disney World posts are taking longer than I expected. Looking through my pictures, we took a ton and I want to make sure and document it all so I can look back and reminisce. (Plus my memory is horrible and there is no way I would remember it all next month, much less years later.) 

So hold tight, this one is going to be a loooooooong post!!!

Day 5 - Epcot   (By far my most favorite park and day on our vacation)

Our Photo Pass photographer had a little fun.

 We once again had reservations for a character dining experience at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall. So we got to bypass the long line of people waiting for the park to open and headed for breakfast.

Epcot is so cool. As you walk you come upon different countries. There are 11 different countries within the park. Mexico, had magaritas, and felt just like it would feel in Mexico. Italy had wine and was such a relaxing atmosphere. It was just so cool to see all the different countires and to experience a little bit of each.

So breakfast was in Norway. There were five princesses, and they all come up to your table to sign your autograph book and to take a picture. They all play their part so well and act and talk just like they do in the movies :)

Belle, we saw a lot of her during our trip :)

Majority of Epcot rides and attractions are technology based and also based on the future but they still had lots of things for the kids. Boat rides, Crush the turtle talk, shows and more.

This lil guy is a big crank if he doesnt get his nap. Luckily he was able to take naps in his stroller!

One of my favorite pics of our trip! Pluto was hilarious :)

After spending our morning at Epcot, we headed back over to Magic Kingdom. Laney had reservations at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Cinderella's castle. You have to make reservations to get into this place like 4-5 months before hand.. crazy! Laney has seen commercials and I was also told how amazing the experience was, so we had to check it out. Not gonna lie, it cost us an arm and leg, so we decided this would be Laney's birthday present. She asked us all week.. is today the day for Bibbidi Bobbidi. Sooo, the day had finally come. We walked in, they called her princess the whole time we were in there. They took her to this closet with all the princess dresses you could imagine and she could pick from any of them. She had been trying to decided all week which princess she was going to be and still hadn't made up her mind. Everytime we would meet a princess she wanted to be that one. And that morning since we ate breakfast with all the princesses, she was really confused..ha. She finally decided on Jasmine :) Which I was happy about.. it was one of the cooler outfits, and it was HOT.. once again!

After she was dressed in her Jasmine outift, she sat down and got her hair, nails and makeup done. She had a serious face the whole entire time.. haha.

Before picture!

Getting her nails painted by the fairy godmother.

Getting fairy dusted!

And After! My gorgeous lil Jasmine :) She was sparkled out. Glitter was everywhere :)

I had also made Kipton reservations to dress up as a knight, because I didn't want him to be left out!

He got cool confetti all in his hair.

After they were all dressed and felt like real princesses and knights, we headed across the way and Laney had a photo shoot.... hehe.  The way she was posing her hands were cracking Landon and I up. She had been paying way to close of attention with how princesses carry themselves :)

Here are just a few shots out of the 40 (no kidding) that were taken. And brother even got to join in on the last picture!

Whew.. that was done and we saw that Jasmine was going to be out signing autographs in 3o minutes. She we hauled tail over there! Jasmine loved how my lil Jasmine looked, so Laney felt pretty stinking special!

*Side note* Laney is sooo picky about her clothes. She has to wear an undershirt with 80% of her clothes. If it itches, has a different feel to the matierial, has a seam.. she freaks. So this outfit lasted a whole hour..haha. So back in her other clothes she went. At least her hair and makeup still were pretty!


After that fun, we headed back to Epcot. We could see that a storm was a brewing, so we hauled tail to Mexico and found a table on the patio at this mexican restaurant. Ate dinner in Mexico, had a yummy pomegrante Margarita and it started pouring!!!! I have to say this was the most relaxing moment I had all week :) Our table was on the edge up against a rail overseeing the gorgeous lake. Well, the rain started coming down sideways so we started to get wet..haha. The kids were in a good spot, but Landon and I pretty much ate standing up. But I can still say it was sooo relaxing! We waited about an hour and the storm had passed and we went on to explore the other countries. From there on out the weather was perfect! I wish it had rained all week. The humidty the previous days just about killed us.

We stumbled across Snow White making her appearance.

We stopped in Italy, had a glass of wine and watched a band play some Eagles songs. That just about put both kids to sleep..haha.

I can't remember which country this one was..but we liked the buildings.

Epcot at night!

Epcot is known for an awesome firework show over the lake. We tried making it but were just pooped. My knee was going crazy. I felt like I had arthritis or something and pretty much limped the last few hours. I am guessing it was just from the rain because I haven't had any other problems with it since. We watched the fireworks behind us as we were leaving the park, so didn't get the full effect.
