We met them at the hotel around noon and headed to Epcot! We were able to get on the Disney's Dining Plan for free. It includes the following each day: 1 snack, 1 counter service (meal, drink and dessert) and sit down dinner (meal, drink and dessert). Not sure how I am going to act not having a dessert 2 times a day now, HA!
Our 1st dinner was the night we arrived at O'hana's (my fav) and it was just as good as I remembered. Monday, we went to Magic Kingdom and I saw Pluto!!!! Before we left, we saw Santa!! He was amazing and talked to Cameron for a while. After taking a picture with Cameron, he offered to take a picture with all 9 adults and Cameron. Bonus: he had Nana sit on his lap too =)We had dinner at Saana (Lindsay's fav).
Tuesday started out at Animal Kingdom, very early b/c Lindsay though it opened at 8 -- nope try 9. Somehow Rochelle and Lindsay got me on "Mt Everest" roller coaster. My stomach wasn't the same all day. :( We returned to Magic Kingdom to have dinner at Cinderella's Castle. The dinner was amazing and several princesses came out to speak to Cameron. All the ladies were given wands and the guys were given swords. That evening we attended Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party complete with cocoa and cookies.
We started Wednesday out at Downtown Disney to order our Christmas ornaments and do a little window shopping. Dinner was at Askersur's Royal Table in Epcot completed with more visits by Princesses. I was wearing a BAMA sweatshirt and Belle asked me if that is the school where they said, "Roll Tide"? LOVED IT!!! We spent Thursday at Hollywood Studios and Cameron was able to see several characters (including Mickey)! We missed our dinner that night and had it rescheduled it for Friday.
We had breakfast Friday morning at Chef Mickey's. The food was yummy but I think we were all excited to see Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald and Pluto! After breakfast, we went back to Magic Kingdom to let Cameron enjoy the rides that were more on her level. We finished Friday night at Coral Reef which is a nice restaurant with a beautiful view of an aquarium.
Before leaving Saturday morning, there was one quick trip to Magic Kingdom. Linda and I went to shop, because we had a 20% coupon that was good until noon. Lindsay and Rochelle wanted to ride the "Runaway Mine Car". Linda, Rochelle and I left the park at 1 and met up with mom, dad, Nana and Richard at the hotel and boarded the bus to the hotel. After a plane delay, we finally got home around 8:30.
It was a wonderful trip full of memories that I will never get. Seeing Cameron's eyes light up when she saw the princesses or the characters is something that will stay with me forever. Spending time with my family is one of my favorite things and I was able to be with them for 7 days in the "Happiest Place on Earth"!!! We all had a great time. We are tired. But, TOTALLY worth it!
