Man, Disney know's how to host a vacation and they do it on an epic scale. We stayed on the resort and got the meal plan. This meant that I only really had to carry around my room key which also served to deduct meal points. It was more than enough food and got Caedee all kinds of cool snacks, including about 10 character Pez dispensers. It was all handled and very stress free.
Day 1 we arrived and headed straight to Magic Kingdom... we saw Mickey and Minnie's houses in Toon Town and watched the light Parade. I got a good spot and thought I might pass out trying to hold Caedee up on my shoulders, that parade is pretty darn long!
Day 2 we went to Animal Kingdom. I would have liked to do more there but Caedee got tired pretty quick... (Should have come up with the rent a stroller idea sooner) We wandered into the Lion King show there and it was pretty awesome. Caedee said it was better than the light parade... I don't know about that, but it was a pretty good show. We walked out to find Safari Donald, Mickey, Minnie and Goofy. We explored a little more. Then we went back to the hotel to swim and then headed to Epcot. I really wanted to see Epcot, but Caedee could only think about meeting Tinkerbell... so we went back to Magic Kingdom and met Tinkerbell after a loooong wait. She was with Silvermist and Fawn. Caedee was scared to actually meet them, she just wanted to stand back and look. But when we got in there Silvermist walked right over to Caedee and chatted her up... Caedee was so excited then and actually posed for pictures with the fairies.
Day 3 we hit Epcot again. This is where we rode our first rides, the Sea (Nemo ride), the Land, and Spaceship Earth. After a couple hours Caedee was ready to leave again, but I wanted to see Epcot. I rented a stroller and handed Caedee the camera with instructions to take pictures of anything cool. We have about 100 kid eye level pictures of Epcot's different countries and it let me check things out and she still had fun. I think we saw the most characters at Epcot. Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Chip and Dale, Beauty and the Beast, Alice (from Wonderland). ALL the characters have a small waiting line to get Autograph's and pictures. We never waited in line for anyone other than Mickey, the fairies and the princesses. After we'd had enough Epcot (it was HOT and we were TIRED) we headed back to the hotel for a swim. By the time it was done swimming a big storm blew up... that was fine with us we needed an evening with our feet up!
Day 4 we headed back to the Magic Kingdom because Caedee couldn't think of anything other than meeting Cinderella. I took the long way and coaxed her into riding Pirates of the Carribean, Magic Carpets, The Haunted Mansion (too scary she didn't like it), It's a small world (she loved it!) Finally we went and met the Princesses and Tinkerbell (along with Rosetta and Irredessa this time). After that we ate and shopped a little. Before I could finish getting the last of our souvineers, it started pouring rain. Caedee freaked out at first as we attempted to get into ponchos... After she saw some other kids puddle stomping I told her she could stop the puddles too and she had a ball in the rain. Its a good thing because it rained so much it flooded some of the resort roads and we had to wait about 30 minutes for a bus back to the hotel... This was by far the longest we ever waited for a bus... usually it was only 5 or 10 minutes and they were not full and crowded.
