The second part of day three we spent at EPCOT. We had a yummy lunch in Japan (Mark wanted me to try some stuff, not too bad!). We sat outside though near this little pond below with some ducks in it, which is where Evelyn wanted to sit, but she did NOT like those ducks! Every time they would go near us she'd freak out...this happened every time we ate outside really (there were birds evvverrrryyywheerrre!). She likes them from afar and wants to say hi but the second they come near she freaks. Kinda funny :) 

Evelyn saw Mark using chopsticks and had to try for herself...

she did pretty good with them though! Took her a bit but got one or two bites with it. 

Looking at the HUGE goldfish in another pond in Japan. I've never seen Goldfish so big.  

We went on one ride in EPCOT, Finding Nemo! Very cute. They had a lot of aquarium tanks outside the ride too, which was fun. We saw huge sea turtles, lots of fish, a dolphin, and sharks!

Fun garden sculptures around the park. LOVED their landscaping! It was so pretty.

Can't remember the name but this was a bakery place in France, SO yummy! I wanted to try so many things...

Evelyn checking out the goods....I got that yummy cheesecake 

Mark got an apple tart thing, but my cheesecake was definitely better. One of the best I've tasted! 

Just a cool well thing in Morocco. I loved seeing all the different countries , so pretty!

Naptime! Evelyn totally conked out every day... she'd be sitting in her stroller and we'd  be walking around (trying to get her to sleep of course :) and one second she'd be awake and the next, out. It was pretty funny and so cute! So we'd either keep walking for awhile or find a quiet spot and sit and rest our feet. 

This time we found a quiet spot in China and relaxed....my feet were so worn out! We walked a looooooot in those four days!

 I tried to get a reservation for dinner at Cinderella's castle but those book FAST so we got one at the Royal Banquet hall in Norway (I think?)...anyway, all the princesses were there and the food was great so it was totally fine and Evelyn loved it! I made this Sleeping Beauty dress for her...turned out a little big of course, but it's cute and way comfier than the ones you can buy!

Belle at our princess dinner!

I redid her hair right before but she had a small sunburn that she kept itching and itching so she totally messed it up

Evelyn and Sleeping Beauty! Although I was kinda annoyed with her, she came up while Evelyn was sitting down and she was like, oh is this one of Cinderella's dresses? and I was like, what? First of all, Cinderella wears blue! and this is totally you're dress. duh! :) anywho....whatever...

We hadn't met Mulan yet so I was glad she was at the dinner! 

Same with Snow White. Who is definitely not my favorite princess but she did a great job! had the squeaky voice and everything :)

Evelyn's favorite again! :)

Chowing down on dinner! I love that Disney considers under 3 "infant" status or whatever so we didn't have to pay for Evelyn's ticket to the parks and she got dinners for free too! Sweet!

the princesses did a parade around the banquet hall and Evelyn was a little late in getting in line and she was wearing her princess shoes, which were too big and she can't walk very well in them although she is stubborn and does, so anyway....she couldn't walk and keep up so Sleeping Beauty found her and walked with her :) super cute

Dessert time!

She always looks so concerned! :)

love this one :)

the pretty sunset after dinner

being super cute on the monorail!

She liked riding the monorail. 

SO yeah! there's the rest of EPCOT! We mostly walked around looking at the different countries and trying different foods so not a ton to say about it but I enjoyed it! Nice after a full day and a half of Magic Kingdom fun :)

"A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're fast asleep. In dreams you will lose your heartaches. Whatever you wish for, you keep. Have faith in your dreams, and someday, your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true." --Cinderella

The second day at Disney was my birthday! And what better way to spend it than at the Magic Kingdom! :) We definitely had LOTS of fun at the MK, mostly cuz it was so much more fun for Evelyn! She met lots of Princesses (and a Prince), Mickey and Minnie, rode lots of rides, saw a castle, and had lots of fun!

Of course the first thing we did was get in line to meet princesses! Evelyn met sooo many: Sleeping Beauty, Belle, Jasmine, Cinderella, Ariel, and then later at other places Rapunzel, Snow White, Pocahontas...I think that's it. The only one we didn't meet was Tiana and that's cuz it started raining not long after we saw her spot and she was outside :( So here's some pretty princesses!

I loved meeting the princesses here, they took time to talk to each kid and take pics...so cute! 

Sleeping Beauty! They were all so sweet too and thought Evelyn was adorable :)

Showing off her Ariel shirt....it was sooo funny though, every time Evelyn was meeting a Princess she'd either be talking about a different Princess or looking ahead to the next one...hardly focused on the one she was meeting!

So cute!

Evelyn loved Jasmine's feather

Cinderella was super sweet!

although she had a super hard time understanding Evelyn. Evelyn really was chatting it up with the princesses! SO cute! Unfortunately I didn't get any video of it :( 

Meeting Ariel and Prince Eric! (Sorry it's a little dark...I took SO many pics and played around with my camera a lot so I haven't even started touching up any...gotta go through them all and pick which ones to do first!)

Evelyn LOVES Ariel! 

High fivin' Prince Eric

Tea Cup time! She really enjoyed this ride, probably her second favorite.

Me and Evelyn on the tea cups

her #1 favorite was Prince Charming's Carrousel! She might not look excited here but every time we asked her what she wanted to do it was either princesses or the carrousel :) and she always had to have the pink horse :) 

a glimpse of the new additions to Fantasyland! They're adding on quite a bit, opening this fall, should be pretty awesome! can't wait to go back and see it done! 

On the Winnie the Pooh ride, her third favorite :)

she loves Roo! 

About to go on Pirates of the Caribbean!  She did not like this one....too dark inside. 

Watching one of the shows! 

Evelyn danced through the whole thing because the princesses were up there twirling. 

it was SO FUNNY!

and adorable :)

she didn't care about anyone around her either :)

wearing her new Minnie hat and glasses! 

Parade time!

Burt! I didn't get Mary Poppins, she was on the other side 

Cinderella and Prince Charming! 

waving at the Princesses!

She was so excited!

riding the Magic Carpet ride! She loved this ride because she got to control the carpet (up and down) with a little lever

once again, she had more fun than she looks like :)

Mark and I in front of the castle!

Looks pretty cool with the clouds..

except it started raining :( 

it calmed down enough for us to run over to some rides! Finally I captured some happiness :)

Mickey and Minnie sighting! She was so excited!

Luckily she wasn't too frightened by them. 

she's been infatuated with Minnie for the past month so she was super excited to meet her!

Minnie even signed her hat for her!

Walt Disney and Minnie! It rained again not too long after this so we went back to the hotel. 

and since it rained we had to bring my treat back too :) super yummy Mickey caramel apple! :) 

I love the castle :)

We went back to the Magic Kingdom on Thursday, mainly to meet Rapunzel (her line was soooooooo long! we still had to wait almost an hour that morning but it was longer the day before!) and to watch the night parade which we didn't see the night before because of the rain. So here's some pics from all that!

Rapunzel!

She's certainly the most popular princess right now,  which how could you not love her? I loooove Tangled! 

Evelyn and me riding the Magic Carpets!

I love this girl :) 

She's so silly 

The castle at night :)

It changed colors :)

riding the carrousel....again :)

so cute :)

riding the tea cups again! :)

wheeee!!! 

Waiting for another parade! This time the Disney people had  games for the kids to play with and Evelyn made a new best friend! They were sooo funny. 

They started off playing duck, duck, donald and then another game but these two decided  to do their own thing and kept running around/dancing/having fun. It was so cute!

the Disney people thought they were long time friends but we were like, nope, they just met each other tonight!

and finally parade time! this was a pretty cool parade! I loved all the lights

Cinderella's Pumpkin coach! She was inside but I didn't get a very good  pic of her

Captain Hook's pirate ship! 

So there's our fun at the Magic Kingdom! That's more pictures than I planned but there was so many to choose from :) Evelyn had so much fun and so did we. I loved seeing her excitement over all the characters and sights around her. So wonderful! :) Anywho....more tomorrow!
