It's November = Mickey day!!!!

We woke up this morning November 1st, not believing that it was November and we were wearing shorts and sandals.

Today we went to  Chef Mickey's , it was here that I discovered that my camera was broken, still usable but broken.  Thank goodness for my iphone. 

We made good time,  arriving 30 minutes before our reservation.

We were seated and my kids were so exited to see Minnie, Mickey, Goofy, Donald and Pluto.  Ashley kept saying "look Pluto!"  Ashley would only take a picture with Mickey in Daddy's arms.

We gave the kids the option of what park to go to for the day, the kids choose Magic Kingdom.  So off we went to the Magic Kingdom.   First stop was to get our sorcerer's cards for the day, next we got fast passes for the princesses.  Standing right there was Mary Poppins.

 

 

We then went to see Mickey seeing as there was only a 5 minute wait for him and there was a photo pass photographer there.  This was worth every minute.   Ashley went up to Mickey and gave him a hug.  The photo pass photographer caught it too.

 

 

We had 15 minutes until our fast passes for the princesses, so we went to La Chapeau and looked at hats and then into the candy store.  While in there a show started on Main street about autumn so way the girls sat at the corner and watched.

 

It was time to go see the Princesses.  This again was amazing.  There were 3 Princesses, Cinderella, Aurora and Rapunzel.   Each princess took the time to chat to the girls, before any posed photos.   Ashley liked to look at them from afar but didn't want to get close to them.   Rapunzel was fabulous, she danced in a circle with the girls, giggling and playing with them.  The smiles on their faces made my day.

 

Next we made a stop at the Main street bakery.   I am so glad we did as Disney is making it a star bucks, and our beloved bakery will be quite different our next trip. 

 

We headed off to Fantasyland  to ride Dumbo and play in the big top.   I could have sat in the big top all day and read a book while the kids played.  Ashley and Jeff and Meagan rode Dumbo, while Gillian and I stayed and played.  Ashley loved Dumbo.  This new set up is nice, with two Dumbo wheels, there is no longer crazy long lines to ride, you actually can ride it.

 

Next Meagan played in the new Casey Junior splash area.  It was quite warm by this point.  So we decided to start heading back to our hotel.  We stopped at Cosmic Rays for lunch.  I discovered the chicken counter is way faster than the burger counter.  I had my order and Jeff hadn't even ordered yet.

 

Now that the kids were fed, we started heading out, right at the 3pm parade.  We found a nice spot and took the time to watch it. 

 

 

 

 

Then we were back to our hotel.  This is when we noticed that the bus ride to the Magic kingdom was 10 minutes, but the ride back was 20 minutes.  We decided to take advantage of the on site Sandcastle club.  Jeff went down and made reservations while I got the children ready to swim.  After a swim we drop the girls off at the Sandcastle club, while Jeff, Ashley and I headed off to Epcot for some food and wine.
