All good things must come to an end
Our WDW trip culminated with Mickey's Pirate & Princess Party at the Magic Kingdom. MK closed at 7pm and only those guest who were invited ($) got to stay at the park.
On our way to an early dinner, we caught the parade right outside Liberty Tree Tavern.
At Liberty Tree Tavern, we were chosen for a Magical Moment - we got to have a group photo with all of the characters and then ring the bell from the balcony crying "hear ye, hear ye! Let freedom ring!" to open LTT for dinner.
Then it was PARTY TIME!! With the smaller crowds, most of the open rides were either walk-on or a less than 10 min wait, except for Dumbo (of course) and the big thrill rides. Mia was only interested in photos with the princesses and getting her new autograph book signed. Yesterday she received lipstick kisses from Aurora and Mulan. Tonight it was Snow White...
And a moment with the elusive Jasmine and Belle!
This has truly been a magical vacation - from DH doing all of the planning (I love having a Disney travel specialist in the family, LOL) to the cast members who went out of their way to make Mia feel special to the princesses who spent extra time with her every time (and apologies to the families waiting behind us!) to the people in line who listened to her chatter and finally, to the dozens of people who stopped us last night and asked for information about her outfit. We can't wait to come again! September seems so far away and January... even worse!
Now off to pack... ::sigh::
Did you just come to Orlando and not call me? Girl---- Fine, be that way. LOL
I'm so glad ya'll had a good time. The weather's been great here! Muah!

You know, even though January seems really far away...if you pushed it off just SLIGHTLY to say...oh Feb 7th, we could meet up in Disney. ;)
I'm loving these shots, so envious of you being there...and OH how I wish I were!

Oh, wow, just looked through the whole vacation and it truly was magical! Mia is such a fun girl with a great personality (loved the ring around the rosy & telling Leo about her brother!).
So glad you had a magical time! If we ever make the trek across country to DW, I know who to call to plan our Disney vacation!
