We started day 5 off in Epcot with breakfast at Akreshus. Since we had an early breakfast reservation, we got to enter the park before the general public. So fun! This was great for picture ops!
Akreshus is every princess lovers dream come true. ALL the princesses were at breakfast and each stopped by our table to say hello. Each family is brought in one at a time. Everyone gets to meet Belle and have their picture taken with her before being seated. Once again, Hannah did not disappoint with the explosion of happiness about seeing Belle. She talked her ear off...Again!! When it was time to be seated, I had to grab H by the hand to lead her out. When I felt a tug of hesitation, I looked behind me to see that she still had Belle by the hand and was also dragging her to the table! HA! That was one of my favorite moments from the trip. That girl and her love of Belle!
Breakfast was unbelievable! Some of the best food we experienced on the property! If you're reading this and are thinking about eating here, please do it! The cheesy hash browns are to die for!
First up, Cinderella! H was excited to show off her ball gown and dance.
Next up, Princess Aurora.
Up next, Ariel. This Ariel was special to us (we come from the same land ;)) I think mommy was more excited than H on this one!
Ariel sure did make our day!
And, finally, Snow White. My princess was in princess heaven!
After breakfast, we were ready to hit the park. I'm actually kicking myself a bit for this, but Ana and Elsa (from Frozen) were making their park debut that day. The line was 45 min to see them and we by-passed it due to the long wait and having not seen the movie. Oops! H ended up loving the movie and loving those girls... Mommy fail! Now, I understand, the line is over 3.5 hours long to see them! Yikes!
I had our day pretty much planned out. There were specific characters Hannah had not yet met and we really planned our day around seeing them.
First, we had to get in another photo op with Mickey and Minnie! It never gets old!,
That smile...every.time!
We headed over to Morocco to meet Aladdin and Jasmine. This was a funny meet and greet. Hannah had been so excited about seeing Jasmine, but when Aladdin showed up she was having none of it. She were quite timid, to the point where Aladdin backed off and then jumped into the picture at the last minute without her knowledge. It was hilarious!!! Wes and I chuckled.
We met up with the rest of the Vance clan for a few rides. I could tell Hannah was getting tired at this point. It had been a late night followed by an early morning. She was so groggy, that she fell asleep on Wes during the Epcot ball ride. It was a sweet, and rare moment. He definitely took it in. She woke up right after we got off.
We headed to Hollywood Studios that night for the Christmas Lights Spectacular. It did not disappoint! The photos don't begin to do justice to this amazing lights show. All of the lights are coordinated to "dance" to the music. You can even buy Mickey Ears that have lights that dance....in perfect harmony to the music. How they do that, I don't know. Amazing!
