Done with Disney... for a while...

Day Four: Park Hopping

I am finally wrapping up our Disney trip! lol 

I'll be quick with this one!  :-)

Day 4 was like a marathon!  FULL of Characters and a whirlwind of parks!  We revisited 3 of the 4 parks to see our favorite things, seek characters, fill up our autograph book, and squeeze in as much fun as possible!

Our first stop was Hollywood Studios for a fast pass for the Toy Story ride that is so hard to get!  We scored, not only a fast pass, but 2 autographs for our book!

Then it was off to the Magic Kingdom...

Where we finally found PRINCESSES!

Jasmine

Belle

and Cinderella

were all beautiful and delightful!

I loved the Magic Kingdom all decorated for fall!  It was a very overcast day and showered a couple of times, but always when we were inside on  a ride or a line.  We'd come back out and everything would be wet, but we would be dry, happy, and ready for the next adventure!  The temperature was wonderful - it was really a nice day!

This day was largely devoted to character seeking because Lily REALLY wanted to fill up her entire autograph book!  It was a challenge and we gladly accepted and I think we all had fun scouting out the best character spots and taking turns standing in line!

We found Tinker Bell and Terrance and Peter Pan!

And we waited quite some time to see Ariel and Prince Eric!

Ariel was super sweet and fixed Lily's hair for the picture and gave lots of hugs!

Lily REALLY wanted to do Dumbo again, and this time Daddy rode!  :-)

He also braved the Tea Cups - a big step!  We all got in a tea cup together!  Lily wanted a purple cup, lol.  We had already done pink and yellow and she wanted to make sure we rode in a purple one before we left!

By day 4 we were all more adventurous...

...and Lily was more inclined to spin faster and faster!

We road the monorail, had a great lunch, park hopped and had a great time!

Lily found Alice to fill the last page of her autograph book on the way out of the park!

And as the sun began to set on a beautiful day in the Magic Kingdom, we were contemplating getting wrist bands to come back for Mickey's Not So Scar Halloween Party...

...and then....

the bottom dropped out!

We were SO glad we didn't get wrist bands because it POURED down rain as we were on our way out!  We laughed and splashed our way out and to our shuttle.  We were all quite wet, but it certainly made a memory.

We went back to the resort, changed into dry clothes, then headed to dinner, shopping, and dessert of course!

It was the PERFECT Disney vacation!

We already have a list of "to do's" and "remember to's" for our NEXT trip!  :-)
