Day 2 - Part 4
So after a magical morning in DHS, we head back to POP for a rest and bite to eat at Everything POP Food Court. I love the fact that you can get frozen cokes as your drink at POP! I hadnt had one of those in years and I was in heaven!
We ordered the normal lunch food - burgers and fries. Me with a soy burger though - which was the best soy burger I have ever had! While we are getting ready to go back to the room to let G take a nap, Matthew had some business at the front desk to finish up, so Mimi, G and I went by ourselves. We snapped some pictures along the way.
We get back to the rooms and Mimi realizes she cant find her room key. We go in through my room since they are connected and she puts two and two together and realizes she left it on the tray while we were eating and Matthew threw it away.
She went down to the front desk and they gave her a new one right away. No problem at all. Phew!

Thank you!! We are a little biased, but we think she is a cutie, too.
Hope you enjoy!!
Thank you! I knew better than to try the Beverly - which just annoyed Matthew after he tried it. He said it was very bitter.

Day 2 - Part 5
After a much needed rest for Gianna back at POP, we head over to the Magic Kingdom!!!
I am so excited. I get butterflies in my stomach when I walk down Mainstreet USA and see the castle. We finally made it and it is all decorated for Halloween! Too cute! I have never seen it decorated like this before. I love all the pumpkins!
Time for a few family shots
G is really excited to finally be here!
My touring plans are still messed up from this morning, but since there is hardly anyone at the parks, we just walk until we see something we can all do. The Magic Carpets! Just like Dumbo but with half the wait.
G rode with Mimi and LOVED it!! She was so happy on this ride and actually cried when it was over and we had to leave.
Matthew and I saw the wait for Splash Mountain was 5 minutes!!! So we headed over there and rode that. 5 minutes at 4 in the afternoon!! We did BTMRR next - about a 5 minute wait for that as well. The parks really were dead - I had never seen them so empty before!

Day 2 - Part 6
After riding a few rides we head over to Crystal Palace where we have ADR's for dinner. I figured we had to do at least one character dinner. We were seated a short time later and the table was decorated for my birthday! How do they know these things??
The food was pretty good. Above your standard buffet food, but still not as good as Coral Reef. I think I compared everything to CR after that first night.
Gianna's face lit up when she saw the characters. I didnt think she would be afraid, but you never know.
She actually kissed Pooh on the nose! Ahhh!! I get all teary!!!
Poor Eeyore. He put his hands out to her and she pointed to me. He had his feelings hurt and just sat down and threw his arms up in the air!
Why did Matthew cut the top part of Tigger's head off?
We stayed for EMH that evening and had a great time. Gianna loved IASW. She fell alsleep while we were on the Haunted Mansion and didnt wake up until the next morning. She slept in her clothes!
We had such a great day! Animal Kingdom tomorrow morning!

We had a complete stranger walk up to us while we were there and tell my mom that G looked just like her! My mom LOVES to hear that.

Isnt it great to have a Mimi to go to Disney with?
My dad is PopPop and he is so much fun to go with, too. He had to work this time, so he couldnt make it. But he called everyday! Thank you very much!
Mimi has more hazel eyes, and G has more blue eyes, but it is hard to tell in the photos. They do look a LOT alike though!
Thank you! I love seeing pictures on other TR's, so I am trying to post a lot!
Thank you!
She really did have a great time. She loved all the characters at CP. She just didnt want them to leave!

Day 3 - Part 1
Animal Kingdom was next on our list and I was very excited about this. Matthew has never been before and I have never ridden Expedition Everest before! So off we go to Animal Kingdom! We get there before the park opens since they are having EMH that morning. We go grab fastpasses for the Safari and go grab some breakfast.
I share my french toast and Matthew's eggs with G
And the queen of silly faces never disappoints
It is already HOT this morning. What is it about Animal Kingdom that makes it the hottest park of all? You would think with all the trees, it would be a little cooler.
We go on the Safari. We got to see lots of elephants - which are my favorite.
We are all miserable and hot now, but we walked the beautiful trails and head over to Expedition Everest. I am so excited about this ride!
The wait wasnt long, but we grab fastpasses and sat down with another frozen lemonade.
We finally head over to ride EE!! We grab a Rider Swap pass as well so Mimi can ride after we get done! The details they put into this ride are amazing. We didnt have much time to look around, but I managed to snap a few pictures.
We LOVED this ride!! Probably my new favorite! And the Yeti was working! I had heard that it wasnt, but he was there and took a swipe at my head. Mimi had ridden it before, so she rode again with me. She is so fun to ride with. She screams the whole time and refuses to open her eyes!
After Everest, we stop off at Yak and Yeti to grab a bite to eat and head back to POP for a much needed shower after this hot day!

Day 3 - Part 2
Gianna ended up taking a 3 hour nap! Poor baby was asleep before we left AK, stayed asleep the whole bus ride back - which was overly crowded and I had no seat, so I was trying to hold a sleeping 13 month old on one arm and hang on with the other.
We get freshened up and the touring plan had us going back to DHS. There were EMH and we had reservations at Mama Melrose's. It was raining pretty hard by the time we left for DHS. We had ponchos and put one over G's stroller, but she was much happier in the rain.
We did the Great Movie Ride, which Matthew and Gianna really enjoyed and it helped get us out of the rain. We had a spicy cheese pretzel to hold us over until dinner. It was really good.
Finally we head over to Mama Melrose's for our ADR's. It seems like I have to wait in line for a while to tell them we actually do have ADR's. I meet a nice man in line from Canada. We have an interesting political conversation.
Soon after that, we are seated. I am really hungry and excited about this meal. I am Italian, so I love Italian food!
I could have eaten the roasted garlic with a spoon. I may have a little actually.
Matthew is again trying to make up for not eating meat for the last 2 years on this trip, ordered some kind of steak
He loved it
I ordered a pasta with shrimp and was not impressed
In the meantime, Gianna has started doing something new. It started as we were at the table eating at Mama Melrose's
She would put her hands under her chin and grin really big. It was cracking us and all the tables around us up. She loves to entertain everyone. She would then start doing it back to you if you put you hands under your chin.
Up next....the manager comes up and says I have a phone call????
