"You're never too old to be young" - Snow White

     Yesterday, the girls of apartment 10106 got all prettied up early in the morning, to head to Magic Kingdom, for breakfast at The Crystal Palace.  Crystal Palace is a pretty, airy place, right off Main Street, where you can dine with Pooh Bear and the gang.

 

 

      The restaurant is beautiful, and the breakfast was delicious, but I'm definitely there for the characters.  Those little babies are so sweet!

 

      After breakfast, we headed down towards the castle, for some photo ops before Brittany had to leave.  We couldn't pass up the chance to take some fancy castle photos!

     Once Brittany headed home, we wandered around Magic Kingdom, and of course, headed back to pay a visit to the man.  He was so feisty yesterday!

 

 

 

 

     We left MK in the early afternoon, when it started to get hot and very crowded with tour groups.  But it was a great morning with great company and photos!

Be Our Guest!

     After a full 180 days of waiting, the day of our Be Our Guest finally arrived!  I rushed home from work, and got ready for the evening.  It was super rainy and humid, so I wasted a ton of time and energy doing my hair!  We headed to Magic Kingdom early, to stop in to see the Mouse in some nice clothes for once!

      As we walked down Main Street, back towards New Fantasyland and Be Our Guest, it started to drizzle, but there was no raining on our parade!

      We arrived at Beast's castle, early for our reservation.  However, we checked in anyway, and were able to sit down really quickly.  When we stepped into the castle, it quite literally took my breath away.  The detailing of the ballroom really hit the nail on the head, we felt like we were stepping into the movie.  Unlike anything I've ever experienced.

 

 

     All throughout dinner, I was constantly catching myself, just zoning out, staring at my surroundings.  However, the food was absolutely phenomenal.  I had pan-seared salmon, over leek fondue and saffron crushed potatoes.  Without a doubt, the best meal I've ever had at Disney.

     As we wrapped up our meal, our waiter brought us out the grey stuff!  Even if we did have to fib a little about birthdays, I'm so glad we got to try it, he even brought me my own little plate of it!  Really tasty, and the perfect little sample.  A very sweet way to top off a dinner at such a magical place!

     After dinner, we ventured into the West Wing, to see the other theming done in the restaurant.  It was very dark, with some thunder in the background, with plenty of touches tying in to the movie, yet another room where you feel like you've ventured into their world.

      As we made our way to the exit, we had one more pit stop.  What's a visit to a castle without stopping in for a moment with the master of the house?!

      I made my way out of the Magic Kingdom, (and made friends with a security guard, Jamie), I couldn't believe it was over!  I already feel like I need to be back in there, 180 days is far too long!  There may not have been this...

...but I've definitely found my favorite place in Disney!

National Brooke & Kayla Day

     Today, Brooke and I both had the day off, and spent the whole day together.  We went to Magic Kingdom first, and headed straight for The Teacups!

     As soon as we got off, it was starting to get really dark and windy, so we booked it to Enchanted Tales with Belle, to wait out the rain.  We got in line and under cover right as it started to pour.  When we finally got in, we volunteered to be part of the story.  We even got to take our picture with Belle at the end, it was so special!

      Since we were in the area, we had to stop in and see the man, Gaston!  We even grabbed some LeFou's Brew from Gaston's Tavern!

      We walked around a bit, and got some popcorn in Storybook Circus.  It was so rainy and humid though, so we decided to head out to the mall.

      We spent the rest of the afternoon getting some really cute clothes from Forever 21 and H&M.  It's hard to beat a rainy day spent at the mall!  Later that evening, we went to pick up Alyssa, and headed back to Magic Kingdom.  We had all won a contest from "Backstage Magic" on our employee portal online.  We arrived in the cast parking lot just as Wishes was happening, the fireworks looked so big from that perspective!  We arrived and told we would be testing Magicbands, Disney's new technology, for Photopass ride capabilities.  There isn't much I'm legally allowed to say about it, except that we got to ride Space Mountain with the lights on (terrifying!!!), and Buzz Lightyear, and this new technology is out of this world.

 Just another day in the Disney life!
