We decided to go a bit later in the day and split up again so that everyone was able to do the things that they wanted to do most.
First thing on Riley's agenda was - Princesses. Riley and Kris took the train back and met us in Toontown fair. With a stop at Minnie's house first and then on to the Judges tent to see Cinderella, Belle and Aurora.
Cinderella was sweet. Riley was in princess heaven. And she was the very first character that Emily was able to approach without a complete and total meltdown. Each Princess talked to Riley and she was able to have their undivided attention for several minutes each. Next year we will have to battle the super long line to see Tinkerbell and friends, but I'm sure it will be worth it.
Another thing that we had wanted to do, that we had never done before was take in the "Story Time with Belle". Nestled in a cozy corner just to the side of Cinderella's Castle sets the stage for Belle to come out and tell an interactive story to a VERY small audience. As you can tell, Riley was completely absorbed in the moment. It was quite a sweet thing to do with our young girls.
After catching a bite at Casey's Corner for some hotdogs, we connected back with the rest of the family for a few more rides. Another favorite, the Magic Carpets of Aladin, and the crazy Madd Tea Party Teacups!!!
Before dark, Papa managed to take Riley on the Cinderella's Golden Carousel - TWICE.
At nightfall is when the Magic began. The Holiday wish ceremony with Mickey, Minnie, Princesses and friends followed by the Lighting of Cinderella's Castle. It was magical, looked like the castle had been completely covered in Icicles. And yes, the kids did manage to stay awake, it was December after all, so nightfall came early!!
