Independence & Meeting Merida - 236/365

Back at BOMA this morning. We just love the lodge and their breakfast is still one of our absolute favorites on property! YUM!

This morning we were going to go take a little drive around Winter Garden and look for the little neighborhood that EB at Yak and Yeti told us about. He was from Youngstown and lives two minutes from Disney. They neighborhood was awesome and it had now turned into our dream to live there. Maybe someday! We had fun! It was interesting to see that people really do live that close to Disney AND in a nice area, too!

This evening, we were heading over to Magic Kingdom again. Reagan wanted to ride Splash Mountain again.

This evening she even got to meet Merida. She had really wanted to meet her the last couple times we were there, but her times are so hard to catch. They are usually when we are taking out break. She really was worth the wait though. She was FANTASTIC!

To close out the night, we decided to try Enchanted Tales with Belle. Reagan actually wanted to participate this time. She is usually pretty shy. She got the part of the silverware and was perfectly happy. She did a great job!

Breakfast time!

Tackling the Mountains - 234/365

Today were starting our day off at Epcot! It was going to be a hot one, but we didn't care.

We were there nice and early for our character meal at Akershus in Norway. Reagan really seemed to enjoy the character interaction there the last time, so we were hoping it was the same.

Turns out, it was awesome as always. Snow White took Reagan's hand and led her around the room in the "Princess Parade." Reagan was on cloud nine! She loved it!

This afternoon, it was pretty hot, so we did decide to head back to the Lodge and enjoy some pool time. The couple times we have stayed at the Lodge we didn't really swim since it was just Jim and I. Reagan really took a liking to the little slide they have and went down about a billion times.

I had my new Nikon water camera, so I was able to get some awesome shots of her in the water.

This evening we were going to head over to Magic Kingdom to see if we could get her on Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain in her "magic shoes." Sure enough, she was tall enough!

She LOVED both rides. She really took a liking to Splash Mountain. But she didn't like the little black vultures at the base of the big drop. She kind of ducked her head, but other than that she was brave.

Jim and I were a little nervous on Big Thunder Mountain because you kind of have to hold on to her. She feels like she would fall out even though you know she won't. I really clutch her though.

So proud of our brave girl. She is growing too fast!

One last thing we decided to do before heading back to the room was the Country Bear Jamboree. We NEVER take the time to do it, but we just happened to walk by as the last showing was starting. We wandered in and were three of eight people in there, so it was nice.

It really is a hoot because it is kind of dated. Reagan really liked it.
