Epcot, last day of our Disney trip

We "slept in" a little on our last morning and went to Epcot. Once we arrived, we went right over to Norway, where we had a Breakfast with Belle planned at 9:30. We were use to seeing the princesses at this point, so it was like having breakfast with old friends ;)

practicing our princess twirls

and yet another magical moment.... Cinderella somehow knew just how much Kathryn adores her and planted her a giant kiss right on her forehead! Kathryn was so proud!

so silly!!

Quinn's favorite part about Epcot, besides the princesses, was Soarin-- she loved this ride, rode it once with Daddy & once with Mommy!!

for some reason, Kathryn was scared of Mary Poppins!

After Epcot, we went back for a quick rest and headed down to the pool for a swim before dinner and trick or treating (today was actual Halloween)

the Contemporary had a cute little halloween party with trick or treat stations, music, outdoor movies.... a perfect end to a perfect trip!

home we go!! it was though to leave. we had so much fun... possibly a little too much fun because the girls have made it clear that they do not want to hear about beach trips, etc... to them now every vacation should be a disney vacation!

Hollywood Studios and even more MK

Day 3 started and the girls were terrified.... we had taken them to the car!! They started to get all worked up, where are we going, I don't want to leave, no not the car!! But they soon realized we had more fun planned. This day we were headed to Hollywood Studios, or Disney Junior, as we called it.

We had a pretty relaxing morning, we saw a bunch of shows---Disney Junior, Belle, and the Voyage of the Little Mermaid, we ate lunch & did some shopping before heading back to the hotel for a rest. That evening we had BIG plans... Dinner at Cinderella's Castle. And just when you think we hadn't already seen enough princesses, almost all of them showed up to visit us at dinner!

HS seemed more crowded than MK had been but maybe it was just the way it was set-up. The longest line we waited in was to see Sophia the first, and that was maybe 15 minutes?

Our first stop was the Disney Junior Live show, which was a HUGE hit with the girls, they felt like they were inside the TV! It had the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse characters, plus Sophia, Doc McStuffins, & Jake and the Neverland Pirates

Kathryn was so worried about hurting Sophia's dress!

Quinn's favorite show by far-- Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage- she just loves Belle, she always tells me how much they are alike "Belle loves to read, is special in her own way, AND has brown hair"

we just HAD to spend the rest of PaPa's gift card ASAP, and what a decision it was! Quinn ended up with a Minnie necklace (she wears it still every day) and Kathryn with this princess hat... and 2 new duffy bears!

here we are all rested and ready to go! We made it back to MK just in time to see the Main Street Philharmonic play and then we went over to the castle to see the "Dream along with Mickey" stage show. The girls were so excited because this was the day they had been dreaming about for so long... Dinner at Cinderella's Castle!!
