WDW Day 2

Our second morning started at 1900 Park Fare for their Supercalifragilistic Breakfast . It's held inside the Grand Floridian resort. The food was actually quite good for a buffet. They had an omelet station, fruit, bacon, sticky buns (yum), Mickey waffles and a bunch of other goodies.

More importantly though, Reese met Tigger.

It was love at first sight.

Tigger even "bathed" her. This is so sweet.

She also met Alice. We own the movie Alice in Wonderland, but it's not one of Reese's favs, so she was pretty clueless as to who she was. She basically ignored her or looked at her like, "Excuse you, I've got other large stuffed animals to meet."

Like--Winnie the Pooh!
He used to be her favorite lovey (before Eeyore) so I think she still holds a special place for him.

Reese was interested in Mary Poppins, but again didn't really know who she was. I loved this movie growing up and I plan on introducing it to Reese when she's a bit older. She definitely thought she was a pretty gal. 

The Mad Hatter was there also. This character actor did an AMAZING job. Again, Reese didn't know who he was, but Joe and I enjoyed his performance.

After breakfast we made our way over to Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland. It was more like a Nightmareland with the crowds of people there. 

We had planned this trip for the first weekend in May because several Disney websites and blogs claimed this was a non-crowded time to go, however, it was still pretty crowded in my opinion. A Disney employee, I ended up talking to, told me it had rained 6 out of 7 days the week before we arrived (which is very unusual). This made the week we came busier than normal. 

Whatever the reason, we high tailed it out of there and escaped to a different section of the park. A much less crazy section.

We rode the People Mover

and The Carousel of Progress. Reese didn't care for this one. She kept saying, "All Done!" I think it bored her. For me, it's a childhood memory kinda ride so I always like to revisit it. 

Before we made the earlier exit from NightmareFantasyland we did make a smart move and got a Fast pass to the Under the Sea Adventure ride with Ariel. Reese liked bits of this ride, but she was frightened some when she saw Ursula (the Giant Octopus/Sea Witch). She said, "Who dat?" I said, "Ursula." She then said, "Her mean!" I agreed. I had to hold her during this ride and she didn't say, "Again" after it was finished, so I'm guessing she wasn't a big fan.

It was very clear Reese was getting tired and was in need of a nap, so we headed back to the hotel a bit earlier this day. We did purchase her a Mickey Balloon and it gave her lots of enjoyment during the rest of our vacation. She seriously loved this 10 dollar balloon. Yeah...that's right...10 dollars...for this thing. Man, Disney is making a killing off these things. Every where you looked kids had these. I will say it still looked this good on the day we left (almost a week later) and Reese was very rough with it. 

Naptime when you're pregnant is so wonderful. Thank you Reese for napping this trip.

After napping, we rode the Monorail to Magic Kingdom (again). Reese was a Monorail pro on day 2.
Just look at that big 2 year old holding onto the bar by herself.

The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was the first ride of the evening. Before we had left the park earlier we got a Fastpass to it, but wasn't sure they'd let us use it several hours later. We lucked out because they did! Yay! Hardly a wait and it was a pretty cute ride.

Then it was a Carousel ride with dad. In. the."peacock". of. course.

Then while we were waiting on our dinner reservation I decided to take Reese on the Carousel (again). She  kept saying, "Again, please." "Again!" Well, guess what? The coolest thing happened. I walked her to the "peacock" bench and she jumped off of it and shouted, "Horse!" I said, "Reese, you want to ride a horse this time?" She said, "Horse! OK!" So her and I rode a horse. This was a majorly big deal for this girl and I was one proud Momma. She was so brave and loved it! I didn't get a picture (kinda difficult when you're preggers and riding a horse), but I did get a picture of it on a different day when she rode it with her Daddy.

Our dinner was at the new Be Our Guest restaurant. It was located inside the Beauty and the Beast Castle. Joe and I both got their French Onion soup and then Joe got a steak and I got rotisserie chicken. Both were very good. Dessert was also very good--we both ordered some sort of strawberry cake thingy.

The candlelight, the rose napkins...special Disney touches.

Inside it made you feel like you were in the movie. When you looked out the windows it was made to look like it was snowing. Very pretty atmosphere. We would definitely revisit this place.

After dinner, we headed to a new Fantasyland attraction where you get to do story time with Princess Belle. Reese loves both stories and Belle so we thought this was right up her alley. It might not have been geared towards toddlers, but she still seemed to enjoy it. She was in awe seeing Belle that's for sure.

Our last ride for the evening was a repeat of It's a small world. She loved it (again).

We walked back to our hotel and were in bed as soon as possible.
