On Monday, December 24th, we got up around 7:30am Orlando time and made our way to the Grand Floridian Hotel & Spa where we had advanced dining reservations at 1900 Park Fare for the Supercalifragilistic Breakfast with Mary Poppins, Alice in Wonderland, Tigger and Pooh. It was such a great experience getting to check out the hotel, which was gorgeous, and getting to eat breakfast with the characters.
The chef came out to our table to personally discuss Little Monster's egg allergy. He told us he would make her some Mickey waffles and potatoes without egg and he also told us what she could have off the buffet. Then he personally delivered the food to our table.
Getting that out of the way, the rest of us were able to enjoy our food and start having pictures with the characters. Tiny Dancer absolutely loved it. Little Monster liked them from afar, but not when they got too close to her.
After breakfast, we headed to Downtown Disney, where we met my parents to do a little shopping (or for them, a lot of shopping... they liked buying the girls stuff) and we waited around until Tiny Dancer's appointment at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. She was pretty tired at this point, and she was getting really embarrassed with all of the attention, but after it was over, she loved her hair and the way she looked.
We went back to the house that night and opened presents with the rest of my family. Tiny Dancer got the Brave doll and horse and a Cinderella's castle with little figurines that I would say is probably her favorite gift from all of Christmas.
The next morning, Christmas morning, we were back up early and at Magic Kingdom by 7:00am, where we got to go right in because we had early reservations at Cinderella's Royal Table in the castle. We got to meet Cinderella, Ariel, Jasmine, Aurora and Snow White. Little Monster absolutely loved the princesses. She wasn't too shy with them at all. And breakfast was amazing! I had steak and eggs which was filet mignon on a chipotle and onion egg frittata. :)
We only stayed until 1:30 that afternoon since it was super crowded by 10:00am. They hit park capacity that day around noon, but we were still able to ride the Carrousel, Mickey's Philarmagic and Journey of the Little Mermaid, as well as meet Merida from Brave!
Back home, we tried to rest and do laundry.
The next morning, my parents, my aunt, my hair stylist sister and her husband, plus my teacher sister and my nephew, L, also came to Magic Kingdom. We met the Princesses (Aurora, Cinderella and Rapunzel) and rode The Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan, Mickey's Philarmagic, Journey of the Little Mermaid and were heading for FastPasses to Space Mountain when it started pouring rain. My sister and I had the boys at the Baby Care Center (in the middle of the park) and had to try to make it through the rain and crowded covered areas back to the rest of the family. Most of them were riding Stitch's Great Escape. Once they were out, Tiny Dancer and I headed over to the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor (which was pretty funny and cute). When we came back out, the sun was back out and the rest of our family went home. It was our last day in Magic Kingdom, so we were determined to ride everything else we hadn't yet. Dad rode Space Mountain since he never had. Then we headed over to get FastPasses for Daddy and Tiny Dancer to ride Splash Mountain. Once the sun went down, it got pretty cold. And it had been really hot that day, so Dad and I didn't bring in any jackets. We rode Mad Tea Party and Enchanted Tales with Belle and met Mickey Mouse on our way out around 8:30pm.
