WDW: Day Five

Finley had an amazing morning! We started out riding Pooh, then it was over to ride the Little Mermaid ride. After that, we stopped by Enchanted Tales with Belle. Finley was selected to be the Beast in the show! This meant she had the biggest part and even got to share a special dance with Belle at the end of the show. After the amazing show, we headed over to ride the Haunted Mansion and have a quick lunch. We then rode Peter Pan, Haunted Mansion and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad again. We grabbed a fastpass for Jungle Cruise later and headed back to the hotel for pool and water slide time. We got some great pool time in, took a nap and woke up to a nasty thunderstorm. Luckily we were able to cancel our dinner with Pooh and his friends and reschedule it for Friday night. We are off to Friendly's instead, which makes Finley almost as happy.

WDW: Day Four

It was quite a busy day! We started out at the Magic Kingdom, arriving just in time to catch the opening ceremony at the train station. We headed straight to Space Mountain for Finley's first ride on the Disney World version. She liked it, but said it wasn't as good as the Disneyland version. We rode it one more time, then it was on to Buzz Lightyear, Dumbo and Goofy's Barnstormer. We then headed back to Tomorrowland to meet Stitch, ride Space Mountain on our fastpass, ride the Carousel of Progress and the People Mover. We had lunch at Be Our Guest and Finley loved being in the Beast's castle. She wanted to dance in all the rooms, so she did, even when we were ordering. We had a Fastpass for lunch and it was a huge timesaver. Finley ate everything and declared the peach applesauce to be the best she has ever tasted. She had a chocolate mousse dessert while we ate in the Beast's spooky room. We then headed over to Big Thunder Mountain RR to use our fastpass, then it was on to the main attraction of the day: meeting Anna and Elsa. Finley asked them "do you want to build a snowman?" and they did! They used their hands, with Finley's being the head, her thumb was the nose. She also met Princess Aurora and Marie from the Aristocats. We headed back to the hotel to swim, but the weather had other plans.

We took a nap instead of swimming since it was starting to rain. We headed over to Epcot, grabbed a fastpass to meet Mickey, Minnie and Goofy. Finley asked Goofy to do the hot dog dance with her and he happily obliged. It was pouring when we came out, so Finley wore her poncho for the first time ever. We then had dinner at the Land, rode Soarin', Living with the Land and Nemo. Finley played in the Living Seas for a bit, then we headed over to ride Test Track. When our car hit the outside part, it was raining! It was crazy to ride it while getting pelted with rain drops. After playing with the vehicles, the rain had let up, so we went over to watch Illuminations. We had front row seats since the park was so empty, the rain had driven a lot of people away (hence walking on to Soarin' and Test Track.)

WDW: Day Three

We slept in a bit this morning because of our late night last night, we headed out to Hollywood Studios. Our first stop was to sign up for the Jedi Training Academy, we got the last show of the day...phew! We then went to see the Muppets 3-D show, Finley was most excited to see the evil Kermit imposter, Constantine. We rode Star Tours and then it was time for the Disney Jr lunch at Hollywood and Vine. Finley was so excited to meet Doc McStuffins and Sofia. There were also chances to dance with the characters throughout the meal, which Finley loved. We then got some play time at the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground before Lights! Motors! Action! Finley was super hot at the point, I think the playground wore her out. We cooled off with a Toy Story Midway Mania ride, Great Movie ride and then the Disney Jr show. Our last ride before nap was the Tower of Terror. We were able to book another Toy Story Fastpass for this evening, then we headed back for a nap.

We grabbed dinner at a Finley favorite, Pizza Planet, then it was onto Toy Story Midway Mania. After the ride we pulled another fastpass for Tower of Terror, then we went over to Star Tours so Finley could participate in the Jedi Training Academy. Finley did an amazing job, it was her best performance yet! We hustled over to see Fantasmic and grabbed seats two minutes before the show started. We got one more ride in on Tower of Terror, had some ice cream and headed back to the hotel. Anna and Elsa tomorrow!

WDW: Day Two

It was an early start this morning to be at Animal Kingdom at rope drop. On our way to our car, Clifton spotted a turkey, Finley had fun following him around the parking lot. We headed straight to Everest when we arrived. Finley is finally tall enough to ride and we were able to ride it three times in a row, including a trip in the front row and one in the back row. Finley selected a moving Yeti Everest pin to add to her collection to commemorate her first ride. We headed over to ride Dinosaur, but were sad to see that the Triceratops Spin was down. We visited with Mickey and Minnie in their new home along the way to Asia. It was back across the park to walk the Jungle Trek, Finley spotted a tiger lounging by the water. After our trek, we took the train to Rafiki's Conservation Station. Finley got a Wilderness Explorer book to complete tasks and collect stickers in, she also met Chip, Dale and Rafiki there. We grabbed a quick lunch, then it was on to ride Everest again and then the safari. Finley kept track of all the animals she spotted in her book and got two more badges to add to her collection. It had been a big morning, so we headed back to the hotel for some pool time and a nap.

We headed over to the Magic Kingdom for the evening. We were able to ride the Teacups, Pirates, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Pooh, Goofy's Barnstormer and Aladdin's carpets. We got a lot of rides in before the Main Street Electrical Light Parade and the fireworks. Finley had fun re-enacting her pirates scene from the day before in the Pirates queue.
