Wednesday - You are the Mickey to my Minnie

By Wednesday morning, the kids were obviously drinking the Disney Kool-Aid.  Harper made her own Mickey head from the breakfast pastries in the lounge.  Wednesday was the day we switched hotels.  All you have to do is tell the bellhop that you need your luggage moved from one hotel to another and they will facilitate.  It was somewhat of hassle to pack up Tuesday night, but totally worth it to experience different hotels. 

     

We went back to Magic Kingdom Wednesday morning with the goal of rope dropping Peter Pan's Flight.  This is a very hard ride to get on without having a long wait.

      

    

Peter Pan's Flight!

   

The kids waving to their shadows!  The queue for the rides were always amazing.  We usually didn't get to see the full queue because of lightening lane.

    

   

After successfully rope dropping Peter Pan, we went back to Cinderella's Carousel and Harper was able to score Cinderella's horse!

   

Ethan was happy with any horse.

    

   

I was obsessed with the Rapunzel bathroom area.

   

   

We went to meet Merida next.

   

She was so cute with the kids.  

       

We also discovered that Ethan doesn't know how to / like to / understand why he should hug strangers, even if they are princesses.  He's a pandemic kid.

    

After meeting Merida, we watched the Mickey's Magical Friendship Faire show.

   

    

   

   

   

   

We took the monorail over to the Polynesian Resort for lunch at Ohana.

   

   

   

   

    

It was a character meal with Lilo, Stitch, Pluto and Mickey!

   

   

   

     

Mickey was the only character Ethan was excited to hug.

   

  

   

Pluto gushed over Harper's hat!

    

He signed their autograph books on his nose!

    

We rode the monorail from lunch over to EPCOT to take care of some unfinished business.  Good thing for our park hopper pass! 

   

   

    

Ethan fell asleep immediately after entering EPCOT.  We met Minnie while he was napping.

     

   

    

We didn't see Canada or the UK during our world tour of EPCOT on Tuesday so we made sure to stop at these countries first.

   

   

   

   

We were able to meet Alice in the UK.  She told Harper to watch out for the flowers as they like to talk for hours.

   

   

    

A quick drink in Morocco!

   

And gelato in Italy!

   

   

   

We met Belle in France.  Harper happened to be reading a book she got in Canada and Belle immediately took interest!  She brought Harper over to a shaded area and read her the entire book!  It was so cute!

   

   

   

     

All the characters we met while Ethan was sleeping also signed his book.

   

Next we headed to France to ride Remy with a lightening lane!  I had booked it in the morning instead of getting anything in Magic Kingdom.  The kids had a quick pizza lunch before the ride.

   

   

   

    

We loved the ride!  You shrink to the size of a mouse and race through a restaurant with other mice.  They used smells in the ride (when you are near the food preparation) and heat (when you are under the stove) and water sprays your face (when a wine bottle opens)!

   

   

   

After successfully completing Remy, we boarded the Skyliner over to Hollywood Studios.  After riding Guardians of the Galaxy in EPCOT on Tuesday, Harper decided she was ready to ride Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror.

   

     

We used lightening lanes with rider switch for these two rides.  Little man didn't mind waiting it out.  He was such a good sport.  

   

   

    

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster was Harper's first upside down roller coaster. 

    

Tower of Terror

   

   

   

  

   

    

     

We then boarded a bus over to our new hotel, Animal Kingdom Lodge.

   

   

We made it in time for desserts at the club lounge.
