Pool Day & a Flood - 186/365

This morning we decided to sleep in a bit. We were pooped from our marathon day yesterday. Once we were up and about, we discovered there was a huge wet spot in between the bathroom wall and the bed. It was huge and really wet! A pipe from the tub must have been leaking. We called down to the front desk and they were going to send someone up.
In the meantime, we went down to the Pepper Market for some breakfast. YUM! After that, we were going to spend some time at the pool. It was a perfect day for a dip in the pool. Reagan was loving running around in the baby pool. She actually made a bunch of friends. She even made a friend with an adult lady and they ended up tossing a ball back and forth for about five minutes. It was a hoot!
After swimming, we went back to the room for a snooze. We got back to the room to find a huge fan drying the carpet. Well, we wanted to nap and no one was going to be napping with an industrial fan blowing, so we called down again. They offered to give us another room a couple doors down, so we took it. Thankfully it was a shorter trip and we didn't have that much stuff, so it was a quick move. We feel much better now that we can take our nap in peace.
After our nap, we were heading to the Magic Kingdom. It was open until 2AM so we were going to give it our best shot at staying that late.
We got there and Reagan wanted to go to Sir Mickey's to get her Pixie Dust. That is her new favorite thing. They always have someone doing it there. She LOVES it!
After that, it was back on the Mine Train. That coaster is so cute and it's Reagan's new favorite ride!
We were able to do almost everything in the kingdom as it got later. Late, late night at the Magic Kingdom is the best. You can do everything!
Reagan has also become quite fond of the gift shop at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean. She made Jim have a sword fight. It was so cute!
On the way out, it was about 12:45 and we stopped to see Tinkerbell. It was probably one of the best character interactions we have had! She was amazing and there was no line!
Another fun Disney Day in the books!

Off to DISNEY - 184/365

We are so excited! We're off to Disney for the 4th of July weekend! 
We couldn't wait to get there, but, were a little nervous about the crowds. We know Disney well enough that we hoped we could navigate around them. Really, we didn't care, as long as we were there!
Our flight was smooth and right on time! 
We got into Florida to beautiful weather! It was hot, but nothing worse than we are used to. 
We were excited to be staying at Coronado Springs again. We love that resort. It's big, but so great! We were happy to get a room right next to the main building, so heading to the food court and gift shop was a breeze. 
We got settled in, took a nap, and headed off to the Magic Kingdom! But first, we stopped at the Transportation and Ticket Center to pick up Reagan's very own Disney World Annual Pass. Woohoo! She was so excited to be a pass holder!
We were PUMPED to ride the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train for the first time. What an amazing job they did. We all just loved it! It goes pretty fast for a "kiddie coaster" and the section with the dwarfs is amazing! We can't wait to ride it over and over. 
To close out the night we got to see the castle all done up in 4th of July lights for the weekend! It was so cool to see the castle all patriotic! 
We had a great first day at the park! 
The first picture is Reagan ready for the plane ride!
